A new Hulu miniseries thoughtfully explores a family’s surreal life in the true crime spotlight.
the story of Steven Stayner’s childhood abduction and rescue riveted the nation. One December afternoon in 1972, 7-year-old Steven had been walking home in Merced, California, when he was coaxed into a stranger’s car with the promise of a ride home.
The rescue story thrust Stayner and his family into the spotlight. That poignant line from his statement even became the name of a blockbuster 1989 NBC TV miniseries. Then 10 years later, in one of the most improbable twists in the annals of true crime, the Stayner name made headlines again when a string of murders in Yosemite became a national mystery. The perpetrator was Cary Stayner, Steven’s older brother.
We don’t get Steven’s contemporary perspective on what those years were like in Mendocino; he died in a motorcycle accident in 1989. But a former classmate who attended junior high with him breaks down as she describes how he walked the halls in a hunched manner that revealed how much pain he was in. Other schoolmates recall the teenager having access to drugs and alcohol.
One wonders what it was like for Stayner as local news reporters followed him around to his first day back at school after his reintegration with his family, and then covered Parnell’s trials. Still, he chose to be a consultant for. His mother says she thought it was a bad idea, but she points out that he was married by then and needed money.
