Cary Stayner is currently sitting on death row in San Quentin State Prison, where he’s been since December 12, 2002. According to the prison’s website, Cary is ineligible for parole because he is “serving a death sentence.” How did he end up on death row? It’s probably best to start with his brother’s abduction.
In 1972, 7-year-old Steven Stayner was walking down the street in his hometown of Merced, Calif. when a man named Kenneth Parnell lured him into his car under the guise of driving Steven home. Parnell, along with his friend Edward Ervin Murphy, brought Steven to a cabin in Catheys Valley. After two days, Parnell told Steven that his parents didn’t want him anymore and that Parnell was going to adopt him.
