'''Steven Stayner''', kidnap and sexual abuse victim, held by his abductor for seven years before he was finally reunited with his family.

Steven was the third of five children born to Delbert "Del" Stayner and his wife Kay Augustine.  He was born in Merced, California.  When he was seven years old, he was kidnapped by Kenneth "Ken" Parnell (with the aid of an accomplice) and raised by him as his "son" and sex partner for the next seven years.  At the age of 14 or 15, Ken decided he wanted another little son and with the aid of another accomplice kidnapped Timothy "Timmy" White, then about five years old.  Steven, while Ken was at work, hitchhiked with Timmy to Ukiah where they went to the police.  Both Timmy who had been missing about two weeks, and Steven missing for seven years, were reunited with their families.
