I followed this case on the old CourtTV board or the board that replaced it. There were people in the area these people lived in that did a lot of work in rounding up information on the case. Some were in contact with the family.
It was such a mysterious case and I did not think they would ever be found.
There have been a few other cases similar to this over the last few years, as well. There was one about a family from Michigan, I think. Also, the couple that went out to look at some property and were never seen again. They found the truck and I think there was money in the truck.
Very odd cases. I guess the McStays were not an alien abduction as some speculated.....
I thought perhaps a chance they had left voluntarily, but most of the facts didn't point to that. Well, at least the family knows the truth and can settle it in their mind. So sad. What a world we live in.
She was very unhappy about the move to Fallbrook. It is not nearly as upscale as the beach where they were living. Best known as the home of Tom Metzger.
Summer McStay is in fact not named Summer and has changed her name at least twice in her lifetime. Here are some of her names: Lisa Aranda, Virginia Lisa Aranda, Summer Martelli, Summer McStay and Lisa Aranda Martelli.
Summer did not like to tell people she was Hispanic and really wanted to be Italian.
Summer was searching online for a homeopathic drug called “ANGER” which was said to help relieve the feeling of anger when sprayed into your mouth and tongue.
Baker said he has spent the past three years investigating the case and reading personal and business emails written by Summer McStay.
"From the emails that she sent in the last year to family and friends and even business associates out of state from Arizona to North Carolina, we see a very different woman… I think, a very conflicted woman," explained Baker. "I use the word 'evil' because some of the thoughts that she put down on paper and emails and electronically sent to people show a very conflicted person... someone who was very unhappy, not just with her own personal life but with Joseph as well and with Joseph's extended family, and just not a very nice person."
In the days following the McStay’s disappearance, many media outlets called them a "typical Southern California family." Baker begs to differ by suggesting that:
• Family tension was high in various ways
• Summer was allegedly involved in a loan modification "scam"
• The possible "crime scene" at the house was compromised by family members.
• Summer was trying to purchase a homeopathic medication for anger management and her family said she "had issues"
• Summer had a bank account in North Carolina (perhaps $80-100K that her husband may not have been aware of)
• Summer was not happy with her life, age, heritage and appearance
• Money was transferred out of Joseph McStay’s account by at least two people following his disappearance
• McStay extended family members "looted" the home
• Law enforcement might be "biding their time" by not revealing everything they know
'I will turn on you': Revealed, the shocking emails sent by wife to husband before they vanished without a trace with their two children three years ago
Summer, writing in Fall 2007 to Joseph:
Hey, I just finished a long conversation with my MOM. She had a lot to say so I have to get this thru your BIG FAT HEAD—Stop whatever it is your trying to do regarding my dad. You have been asked before now I have to Tell you to please knock it off.
We DO NOT want any contact with him.
If you keep this up your going to **** UP our relationship. I will not forgive you and I mean it. Your messing with our lives. I want you to Stop this bull s***, now!! My family life does not concern you what so ever. Why, the **** do you keep persisting?
When I’ve already spoken to you about this?? What are trying to do? Don’t you have your own bull s*** to worry about?? I’m so pissed off that you keep going on about this. In case, I wasn’t clear before, let it sink in now. Mind your own ****** business and DO NOT try to find my dad. If I should discover that you have ignored this message and keep digging around I will turn on you.
Do you understand?? Stay out of my business and worry about your own b******. I’m so sick of your nosy ass. You’d better stop or we’re over
I’m not going to go thru my life with someone who f****n opens a can of worms that no one wants just because you want to. I’m so pissed right now. This is ****** B*******!
Fifteen minutes later, Joseph responds:
I must say...this is one of the nastiest e-mails I every gotten....So Foul, I can’t believe it came from you...
Once again blown completely out of proportion and I thoroughly misunderstood your mom’s and your feelings toward your Dad...
So, definitely hear you “loud & clear”....will never be brought up again.
Wow...I’m deleting your e-mail. Its so harsh & sick!

I don't know that I'd take seriously someone's blog and a sensationalized book. Not really reputable sources, IMO.
Just read a couple of the comments about one of your links: "Rick Baker (author of book) is a birther....google "Rick Baker birther" .... to see how nutty these people are"
and "Rick Baker should be sued for defamation of character against Summer now that the bodies of her and her husband were found."

UK Mail is not a blog, Rick Baker did not write the emails and you can not defame a dead person.
UK Mail is not a blog, Rick Baker did not write the emails...
Click on your first link; it's a blog (after that one, I stopped reading; sorry).
And Rick Baker is the author of the book you quoted, No Goodbyes.
from your news link: "Joseph McStay's brother told 10News over the phone that his family does not share the thoughts and opinions of Baker. "If he has proof, then let him produce it," said Mike McStay, who spent months searching for his brother. Mike McStay said he believes Baker is twisting the truthso he can sell books.
