David C. Rundle is an inmate on death
row in the state of California..
Crime
Rundle, with a history of sexual abuse
and assaults, attacked two young women, Caroline Garcia and Lanciann Sorensen binding their hands behind
their backs, killing them and leaving their bodies in the woods.
In November of 1986, the bodies of two young women, Caroline Garcia, 18
years of age, and Lanciann Sorensen, 15 years of age, were found in
rural areas of Placer County. The bodies were unclothed and the arms
of both victims were bound tightly behind their backs. Both bodies
were badly decomposed, such that the causes of death could not be
authoritatively established, nor was there definitive remaining evidence
that the victims had been sexually assaulted. Despite his earlier
denials of any involvement in the murders, defendant, who was 21 years
of age at the time, confessed to the authorities that he had sexual
relations with the victims and killed them by strangulation. At trial,
defendant testified he had killed the women in fits of rage induced by
the victims' behavior, but did not decide to engage in sexual activities
with them until after they were dead. The evidence presented by the
defense suggested that defendant's rage was the result of psychological
problems arising from the incestuous sexual abuse inflicted upon him as a
child by his mother, his mother's extensive history of engaging in
other inappropriate sexual behavior (such as exhibitionism and having
numerous extramarital affairs) which was common knowledge in the small
towns where defendant and his family resided, and the general
difficulties defendant had with his family.
