Journey Into Darkness: The Stayner Brothers Part 2

When we left you at the end of Part 1, fourteen year old Steven
Stayner had escaped from seven years of captivity and abuse at the
hands of child predator Kenneth Parnell—and he’d rescued Parnell’s
next intended victim, a little boy named Timmy White. The story
made international headlines, and Steven Stayner became his
hometown’s living legend. It was March 1980, both boys were back
home safe and Kenneth Parnell was behind bars where he belonged,
waiting to go to trial. It seemed like a happy ending. But the
story doesn’t end there. The second half of the Stayner saga is
even darker than the first. Justice is denied. Secrets come to
light. And another member of the family lets his most depraved
fantasies cross over to real life.

Big thanks to Mike Moran of the podcast Confessional with Mike
Moran for doing much of the work/research on this one and last
week's!
