Cary Stayer (Steven's Brother) killed 3 or 4 women in Yosemite

Sadly, Steven died in a motorcycle-auto accident on September 16, 1989.

Kenneth Eugene Parnell, Steven Stayner's kidnapper and the previously-convicted kidnapper and child rapist (Bakersfield, CA, in 1950) sexually assaulted Steven from age seven to age 14 (i.e., 1972 to 1980). From March of 1995 until June of 1997 Mike Echols kept tabs on Parnell, visiting him and taking him out to eat every month or two. However, on one such occasion in June of 1997, Parnell told Mike that the only thing he regretted about sexually assaulting Steven was: "When I had anal sex with [Steven] he would bleed and it get all messy and stuff and I didn't like that." At that point Mike stopped seeing Parnell in fear that he might get so angry that he would kill this child sex predator!

Today Kenneth Eugene Parnell lives as a free man at 2630 Mathews Street in Berkeley, California. He is a very dangerous child sex predator who began preying on young boys in 1950; he keeps toys appealing to boys in his home; boys have been seen going into his home; and he lives near San Pablo Park in Berkeley which is frequented by lots of young boys! And he has even offered to babysit young children in his neighborhood!!

I read an article that Cary Stayner had mental problems that stem far before his brother was abducted. It was a while back,not sure where I got that info. He confessed to hearing voices as young child. Don't get me wrong,I am not standing up for what he did. I just don't think he got the help he needed to maybe prevent the problems later in life.

At the same time, what Cary did not only caused the deaths of three or four people, it also hurt every single person who was close to them. Rape and murder hurt lots of people.

That said, Parnell should be locked away too because he's equally dangerous. But the last thing rape victims need to hear is that they'd be better off dead. There's always hope. And another thing, you have to remember that murder victims are not the only ones who suffer. Their families suffer too. And another thing, weren't those women missing before they were found? Their families had to go through that torment. And there are times when murder victims are never found. The not knowing has to be one of the hardest things to go through.

From what I heard of the Yosemite cases (and I might be remembering wrong but from what I recall), the deaths were particularly heinous, as if killing three or four women isn't heinous enough.

Im totally shocked! I saw this movie on TV when it first aired and the story really stuck with me. I remember a few months after it aired hearing on the news that the real Steven had died and I think I cryed. Every once and awhile I think of this movie and him and today I decided to see if the movie is on IMDB and here it is. I hadnt heard about his brother! I'm totally shocked!

"I know,i just read an article,i was wondering what became of Cary. All this is that monster parnells'fault. I hope parnell rots in hell!!

I don't think Parnell is entirely to blame. It is obvious that the Stayers are a pretty dysfunctional family ( I hope that the police are keeping a close eye on Steven's sisters ) and that while Parnell took advantage of the situation, he did not create it,
