In this gripping episode, we delve into one of California’s most haunting child abduction cases — the disappearance of 7-year-old Steven Stayner in 1972. Snatched on his way home from school in Merced, Steven vanished without a trace, leaving his family shattered and desperate for answers.
For seven years, Steven was held captive by child predator Kenneth Parnell, forced to live under a false identity and manipulated into believing his family no longer wanted him. But in a courageous act that shocked the nation, 14-year-old Steven escaped in 1980 — and brought another kidnapped child, 5-year-old Timothy White, to safety with him.
