- On February 4, 2010, Summer McStay, her husband Joseph, and their young sons Gianni and Joseph Jr. disappeared from San Diego, California. The family of four was living a happy life, and had recently moved to a new house, which they were renovating and turning into their dream home. Joseph had a newly successful business designing and installing water fountains. This gave him a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home, so he could spend more time with his family.

- Summer had been known by a number of names. Born "Virginia Lisa Aranda," she had also been known as "Summer Martelli," "Summer Aranda-Martelli," "Lisa Aranda," "Lisa Martelli" and "Lisa Aranda-Martelli." In an early video interview, Summer's mother confirmed that Martelli was the surname of Summer's stepfather, but it was later alleged to have been invented by Summer.[citation needed] In a February 25, 2010 Valley News article, Sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos "confirmed that Summer McStay was previously known as Lisa Aranda and/or Lisa Martelli." He was uncertain when she changed her first name to Summer, or if it was done legally. Brugos said her legal maiden name was Aranda, but at times she used her stepfather's last name of Martelli, although she was never adopted by him."[20] She took 10 years off her age, although there was no confirmation that she used the alternative birthdate on a legal document. Family members insisted that the name change was only a facet of Summer's eccentric personality.
