The siblings are both famous and are both tied to the wonder of Yosemite National Park. One survived unspeakable horror, while the other was a killer who created it.

Don’t equate poor innocent Steven with this sick bastard who killed these beautiful souls
How's a convicted child molester even free?
5 years for kidnapping a child for seven years. Sounds like california
We never hear anything about the mother. I'm assuming she's a source of is Evil ways.
I'm basically angry right now so you mean tell me that Steven who was a hero despite 7 years of abuse he save the life of a little boy from suffering the same fate but he died but Cary the monster was still breathing and alive
Yosemite park has so many missing children and adults it's alarming.
Psalm 86; 90; 91; 102; 143
Even being from the 80s… To make all these public appearances but not get that boys professional help really has me looking at those parents sideways… They're obviously not concerned about being seen in a public eye or being embarrassed
I remember watching the movie after school… I remember thinking why was my mother so over protective until I saw this movie
Was it merely a “coincidence” that Cary admitted to having fantasies of murdering 4 years * BEFORE * his younger brother Steven was abducted & (more importantly) was it was just a “coincidence” that the abductor (Parnell) lived next to Steven & Cary’s GRANDFATHER ? I now wonder if Cary was a sexual victim of Parnell when he was younger * way before * Steven was even taken. Perhaps that’s why Cary developed his sociopathic personality before Steven was kidnapped. Adult Cary had requested child porn after he was caught by police & stats show that child porn adult viewers were often molested as children. If perhaps Cary did indeed cross paths with Parnell years prior (via visiting the Staynor grandfather’s house ) & became Parnell’s victim, then – either intentionally or inadvertently – Cary could’ve even given Parnell the idea to abduct his younger brother Steven (??)
So many lives ruined from Stevens abduction. From the Stayner family to the families of Carey’s victims.
God bless Steven. How did that other piece of garbage only get 5 years?
Such an truly monstrous evil act for those poor women and girls 😢 heartless and cruel . I would never allow someone in that late at night but this vile pig was determined and could have still killed them through the day . Rot in hell 😡 rest in peace innocents ❣️
that whole family was cursed, the deaths tragic, cary, steven, stevens kids, even poor timmy died of a heart issue or such if i remember right
Cary was born evil and did evil. Stephen was born good and had evil things done to him. May he R.I.P. 💔
This is why I believe child molesters should just be put to death with a bullet to their head.
Yep! Spend the "rest of his life" on CA's death row! Didn't know those damn liberals even had one.
Very disappointing the narrator couldn't be bothered to confirm how to pronounce the town where the Stayner family was from (Merced).
This is the proof that abuse isn’t the cause of evil. I am all up for stopping child abuse but you can’t blame it for the crimes. You always have a choice. And that’s how human nature works, it can always go either way.
WHY ISNT CARY STRAYNER DEAD YET??? WHY DOES IT TAKE OUR COUNTRY SO LONG TO ELIMINATE THE MONSTERS WHO WE FINALLY CATCH??? WHEN WILL AMERICA REALIZE THE REASON THESE MONSTERS DO WHAT THEY DO IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW OUR LAWS ARE WEAK WHEN IT COMES TO THESE TYPES!!
Just another example of how the courts, the judges failed to protect the innocent in society. Parnell should've been locked up for life. NO Parole!!
I hope that Cary Stayner has been fantasizing about burning in Hell since he decided to play out his fantasy by murdering those 4 women at YNP back in 1999. I guess he didn't stop to think that there would be serious consequences for his actions. And that he'll probably never see his relatives anymore. That his soul will burn in Hell!!! While his little brother is in heaven.
I feel sorry for the family
This is classic Freud . Cary was always angry with his mother for the birth of Steven . all the ATTENTION wasn't on him anymore when he wanted mommy she was busy with Steven .
I FEEL CARY SET STEVEN UP SO HE COULD BE THE ONLY BOY AND GET THE ATTENTION HE ALWAYS WANTED
It goes to show that law is rubbish the cops 👮♀️ do their jobs but the scumbag lawyers and judges give them a slap on the wrist. A joke
