Attorney General Peter W. Heed and New Hampshire State Police Colonel Gary Sloper announce that The Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of Tina Sinclair and her daughter Bethany Sinclair, who have been missing from Chesterfield, New Hampshire since February of 2001.

Carole and Juli Sund and Silvina Pelosso were the three women sightseers who were missing and later found murdered near Yosemite National Park in February of 1999. While they were missing, Carole Sund's parents, Francis and Carole Carrington, at the request of the FBI, posted rewards both for their safe return and for information leading to the whereabouts of their rental car. The Carringtons believe that the posting of these rewards and the media attention they received contributed to the car being located and gave them the first break in their case. They were thankful that they had the financial means to offer these rewards, and it's because of this that they started The Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation. This foundation was established to assist families such as the family of Tina and Bethany Sinclair, who are in similar circumstances as the Carrington's in that Tina and Bethany are missing persons. The Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of Tina and Bethany.

The reward money can make a difference. The foundation's reward money has already assisted in the location of three missing persons and the apprehension of eighteen murder defendants and one child molester/attempted murderer. There are defendants in custody in five states. Of the nineteen defendants in custody, thus far, six murderers and one child molester have been convicted or plead guilty as charged. To date, the foundation has paid a total of $72,500 in rewards to citizens who did the right thing by coming forward and sharing the information they had regarding these cases.

We all have a responsibility to do our part to help make our community a safe place. If you know anything about this case, please contact Sergeant Russell Lamson at New Hampshire State Police Troop C in Keene, New Hampshire, (603) 358-3333.
