That's god for the technology these days
It makes sense that the parents were colder once Stephen was abducted, they were afraid. Such a terrible situation they all found themselves in. But Stephen was a hero.
They kidnapped the wrong kid should of been his brother
Sorry I spelled the name wrong Stayner is the correct spelling
I think they should give the parents a break .They went through the kidnapping and then death of Steven and then find out their oldest son is a murderer. I can't imagine how anyone could survive just one of those events.I have read news articles about the. Staynors' and criticism of them as parents but we are all imperfect and have our faults .Few could go through what they have and come out unscathed.
Sad
🙏
The brother was a serial killer bruh
There are a lot of people who have it as bad as this monster or worse and they don't go around killing people.
I’m from a small town called point arena not even 2 hours away from this this gives me very bad feelings about the whole town
Sad

Satanic inverted family save their cult skin by turning in friend Reverend after Steven took Timmy took the cops. Parnell was protected. Msm scoop in with a Quinn Martin production
So you're telling me Cary worked at the same place as Steven's abductor? That's a weird coincidence.
I was 12 when I saw this movie " I know my first name is steven"…I was scared that somebody was gonna take me.
WTF is a 7 year old walking alone that distance! The mother sounded like a @$!#+!!!
People who say so why he didnt leave? Are abusers themselves. Do you think a 7 year old who spent 7 years of his most important development years under the hand of an abuser. Who didnt know any different will just leave? It does not work that way. Many women were kidnapped way way older and stayed with the kidnapper for years. They break you and you think the outside is even more scare. The menendez were old enough to just leave but couldnt because they have spend their whole life being told that they will be killed if they try.

😭😭😭
It's sad that he survived this only to die in a motorcycle accident years later
He didn't leave because it's called Trauma bonding or terror bonding.. it's when someone like Steven starts to identify and bond with their capture and where was Steven going to go the monster who abducted him told Steven he had called Stevens parents they didn't want him any more..its a psychological attachment to the abductor to survive..its a terrible thing to say about an abducted child..
Steven is a hero saving that other boy.
The system failed him….SO sad some people never get justice.
Sad
Nowadays Parnell would have been caught in a matter of days or weeks because they would find out there was no Dennis Parnell and Steven would be rescued.
I always bawl like a baby whenever I come across this story. Steven Stayner may be one of the bravest children in the world.

Well at least we know that the kidnapper/child abductor is burning in Hell.

Can't condone what Cary did. I just can't help feel things could've turned out differently on account of one mans' selfishness

Una Trágica Vida de 24 años La Historia de Steven
nunca entenderé el motivo de que Steven nunca escapara de su secuestrador y violador dios me libre cuestionar su proceder a una persona fallecida pero yo creo que su ingenuidad estuvo en su contra lo primero que se tragara lo de que sus padres ya no lo querían y que un juez le avía entregado su custodia y eso de haber sido abusado sexualmente la misma noche de su secuestro cuando un juez entrega la custodia de un niño a un hombre soltero pues nunca como no pensó que el teñirle el pelo y cambiarle el nombre no era una estratagema para evitar ser encontrado cuando comenzaron las violaciones diarias como no escapo de ese sufrimiento físico yo soy ahora un hombre pero también he sido un niño es mas solo tenía 11 meses menos que Steven y puede que si alguien me hubiera violado me lo hubiera callado por vergüenza o no pero de eso a sufrir reiteradas violaciones de un supuesto padrastro me hubiera escapado seguro buscando ayuda policial por mucha libertad que le dio a cambio de ser sodomizado a diario por ese miserable animal la supuesta dependencia económica a cambio de mantener relaciones sexuales que el savia que no estaba bien y que era contra natura y por más de 7 años todo un horror que destruyó su infancia juventud y vida
Thank you for posting this. I was the private investigator for the Carrington family. Cary Stayner did not act alone. Several people were involved with the murders of Carole and Juli Sund, and Silvina Pelosso. Joie Armstrong was murdered by Cary, alone. The true story behind the murders is told in my book ULTIMATE PREY. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Prey-Yosemite-Sightseer-Murders/dp/0985914408/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I remember watching this movie a long time ago. It was very sad very disturbing what happen to this poor kid. RIP Steven
I seen this movie many years ago it's very sad
Don't feel sorry for the parents. They were monsters. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Defense-to-fight-for-Stayner-s-life-Lawyers-2820211.php
