These events took place in and around our hometown of Ukiah, California. In 1972 Kenneth Parnell kidnapped 7 year old Steven Staynor as he walked home from school in Merced California. He told Steven his parents didn't want him anymore and that they had given custody of him to Parnell. In 1976 Parnell moved with Steven to the remote town of Comptche northwest of Ukiah. In 1979 they moved to Manchester, another remote town near the Mendocino coast. On Valentine's Day 1980, 5 year old Timmy White was kidnapped by Parnell walking to his babysitter's house after Kindergarten. He brought Timmy back to the remote cabin where he lived with Steven. Not wanting Timmy to endure the same pain and abuse as he had, while Parnell was working a nightshift Steven heroically set out on foot with Timmy to return him to his home in Ukiah.
