The Kidnapping Story of Ashley Stayner’s Father, Steven Stayner

Ervin Edward Murphy, a guy who had gotten friendly with convicted child rapist Kenneth Parnell, approached Steven on his way home from school on the afternoon of December 4, 1972.

Murphy distributed gospel leaflets to boys walking home from school that day as per Parnell’s directives, and when he spotted Steven, he pretended to be a church agent asking for donations.

Murphy asked him if his mother would be open to contribute anything to the church. Steven replied by saying yes then Murphy added him if he was willing to take him to their home which Steven accepted.

Parnell’s white Buick showed up and he happily got in with Murphy. Parnell then took a confused Steven to his cabin in the neighboring Catheys Valley. He was sexually assaulted by Parnell on the first night he was at the cabin, and on December 17, 1972, he started being raped.

Steven repeatedly expressed his desire to return home in the first week and Parnell insisted that he had been granted legal custody of the him because his parents could not support so many children and that they no longer needed him.

Steven’s Escape From the Kidnapper

Parnell started looking for a younger child to kidnap as Steven approached puberty. On previous instances, he had tried to kidnap kids using Steven, but all the attempts had failed.

Steven and White left on March 1st, 1980, and hitched a ride to Ukiah while Parnell was at his night security job. They headed to a police station after failing to find White’s house.

California legislators changed state law “to allow consecutive prison sentences in similar kidnapping cases” as a result of Steven’s kidnapping and its aftermath.

Steven struggled to adjust to his family’s more regimented culture after leaving them, as he had been given total freedom to do as he wished while living with Parnell.

Although he had brief counseling, he never sought out more therapy. Additionally, he refused to reveal all the specifics of Parnell’s sexual abuse of him.
