Kenneth Parnell kidnapped Steven Stayner in 1972 and Timmy White in 1980. After serving only five years in prison for these offenses, he attempted to purchase another child for $500.
In 2003, law enforcement in Berkeley, California apprehended Kenneth Parnell for attempting to buy a four-year-old boy. This incident was not his first encounter with the legal system; the 71-year-old had a history of convictions for the abduction of two other boys. A prosecutor remarked during Parnell's 2004 trial, “He has been a danger to children his entire life.

By that time, Parnell had already faced legal consequences for various offenses. He had been convicted of child-stealing in the 1950s, as well as for the kidnappings of Steven Stayner in 1972 and Timmy White in 1980.

Steven Stayner’s story was recently featured in the Hulu documentary Captive Audience: A Real American Horror Story (2022). But who was the man who kidnapped him and abused him for seven years?
