Hell Got A New Member

Kenneth Eugene Parnell a notorious pedophile is dead at age 76. He died from natural causes, at the State of California Correctional Facility .

On December 4, 1972, Kenneth Eugene Parnell kidnapped 7 year-old Steven Stayner from the California town of Merced, which is not far from Yosemite Park where Parnell worked. Parnell drove into Merced with a coworker, who convinced Steven Stayner to get into Parnell's car.

Eugene Parnell learned in the first few days of Steven's

captivity that Steven was in trouble the day before his disappearance.

Steven was frightened that when he did not go home after school on the day Eugene Parnell took him to his cabin, that his mother was angry with him. Eugene Parnell took these fears of Steven's to heart and feed them to the little boy to keep him living in fear and despair.

Shortly after kidnapping Steven Parnell told Steven he talked to Steven's mom and dad and that they did not want him to come home.

Parnell also told Steven that he had adopted Steven, and that Steven would now be his son, Dennis Parnell, and he was to call Eugene "dad." Everyone who saw them just thought they were father and son. For seven years , Eugene Parnell would control Steven Stayner, physical, emotional and sexually.

Kay and Del Stayner never stopped looking for their son, and never stopped believing that one day somehow he would come home again. At times Eugene attempted to kidnap another child but some how Steven managed to foil the plans, so Eugene hired another teen, a friend of Steven's to help him grab five year old Timmy White in 1980. Steven was angry and scared and wanted to save the boy from suffering the same abuse.

Steven Stayner takes Timmy and tries to leave him at the police station but police who are in total disbelief that Steven Stayner is alive catch both Timmy and Steven. Timmy goes home and is safe. Yet it takes the police awhile to convince Steven that his parents never stopped looking for him and that they are not mad at him.

Finally, Steven believes the police and allows them to call his mom and dad. The call Kay and Del Stayner waited for finally came! Their Steven is alive! Parnell's criminal history is long beginning in the 1950's, when he first served time for impersonating a police officer to abduct a child for sexual abuse.

In the 80's The jury finds Kenneth Parnell guilty of kidnapping and sexual abuse of Steven Stayner and kidnapping of Timmy White, and Parnell receives a sentence of seven years prison time, but only serves five of those seven years.

While in his late seventies, Parnell offered one of his caregivers $500.00 cash if she brought him "a little African American boy" to his home. Initially the caregiver thought he was joking, yet when she realized he was not she involved the authorities, who found multiple sex toys in his home. It was described as the "last hurrah" of an aging pedophile.
The jury only took 90 minutes to find him guilty and send him back to prison, where he died last week.

Steven Stayner who returned home at age 14, went on to live almost ten years after his rescue . Steven was passionate about educating schoolchildren about the dangers of talking to strangers. He died tragically, in 1989 when his motorcycle hit a car; he left behind a wife and two children.

Staynor's brother Cary is in San Quentin state prison a waiting execution for killing 4 weemen in Yosemite National park in 1999.

His parents who had gone through the whole heart ache with losing Steven twice felt responsible for Cary feeling they had neglected him because they were preoccupied with finding his younger brother.
Cary said that he hadn't thought about Steven in years and he didn't care.

For fucks sake what things to happen to a family. It shows you that only the good die young.
