One survived the unspeakable, the other committed the unthinkable. Tonight the story of two brothers who walk two very different paths. Yosemite, california, one of the most stunningly beautiful places on earth. And the backdrop to one of the darkest, most horrific stories of two brothers. One who was kidnapped for seven years, the other who would become a serial killer. Is this sanctuary would turn out to be the very setting where kerrys murderous demons would be unleashed. Reporter it began with a kidnapping weeks before christmas, 1972. Steven is qu steven is kidnapped by kenneth parnell. Kenneth parnell stops the car and goes to a pay phone and tells steven, i i just smoke your parents, they no longer want you. He said youre going to be my son. He kept giving him this cough syrup to sedate him. Steven stainer had a new father figure and it was Kevin Parnell who by day was his father and by night was his rapist. Reporter parnell moves around with steven, settling in a small california town about five hours north of stevens hometown of mercer. Parnell told him his name was going to be Dennis Parnell. And he enrolled him in school. Reporter more than five years have gone by, but Dennis Parnell has not forgotten hes actually steven stainer. His family has not forgotten him either. His older brother kerry deeply affected. Kerry was very upset. Maybe he had some guilt, because i think he was supposed to be with his brother. Reporter kerry shows signs of disturbing behavior. He had a compulsion of trying to get close to women or be sexual with them but was unable to develop any interpersonal relationships with any women. Reporter after seven years with steven, parnell starts looking for a new, younger boy. In february 1980, he pays a High School Kid to help him kidnap 5yearold timothy white. Steven watched timmy suffer from this separation from his family for two weeks and decided, finally, that he had to do sk about it. Reporter when parnell goes to work, steven hitchhikes with timothy to the town of ukiah, going directly to the police station. But when he arrives at that police station, he says something that will be embedded in the public consciousness forever. I know my first name is steven. Thats the title of the book. It became a television movie, and it made steven famous. This is steven today. He is holding 5yearold timothy white. Steven was a national hero. He returns to merced triumphant. Good morning, steven and mr. And mrs. Stainer, and steven, hows it feel to be home . Feels great. Did you remember your parents well . Um, they didnt change that much. I recognized them when i got out of the car . What about your brothers and sisters . They changed a lot. I never recognized either one of them. Reporter parnell never sands trial on the kidnapping case. He is caught attempting trying to solicit a 4yearold boy. Hes given a life sentence, dies in prison. Steven goes on to work menial jobs, get married and have two children. But then at age 24, steven is quilled while riding a motorcycle. His unexpected death another blow to older brother kerry. This rage iskerrhas coue of break downs. One was fairly violent. He stated he felt like it jumping in the truck, driving it through the shop, killing the boss and everybody in the office and then torch beiing the placed thats when i told him he needed to go see a doctor. Reporter he enters a mental facility but doesnt stay. He eventually makes his way to yosemite, landing a job as a handy man at the cedar lodge north of the park. He sees an opportunity to act out his sick fantasy. In one of the farthest lodges are three guests, three women, one visiting from argentina. Kerry knocks on their door, tells them hes maintenance and needs to fix a leak. Go to the bathroom, i pulled my out. Reporter about a month later, a burned car is found about 60 miles from the cedar lodge, the remains of two bodies found in the trunk. I knew from the very beginning that my girl was there. How . I dont know. Dont ask me. Just felt. Her mothers intuition was sadly correct. It was silvina in the trunk of that kwa that car. Then the big mystery was, wheres julie . Reporter investigators get a map in the mail. Earlier this afternoon, investigators discovered the body of a homicide victim. Body of julie sun was identified early in the week. Reporter authorities would take two brothers with violent back grounds into custody in connection with the murders of the three women. People wanted to believe they were the right people in custody. But they werent the right people. He was still working here at the lodge, still living here on the premises. Membef the community. Didnt really see him as a suspect. He didnt raise alarm bells for anybody. Reporter that summer, kerry finds his next victim, 26yearold joey armstrong, a naturalist working at yosemite, living on the west side of the park. Seemed like she was alone. He gets out his backpack. Hes got a gun, hes got duct tape, hes got a knife. Hes standing somewhere in this vicinity, and hes talking to her. Pulled out the gun, put it to her head, she turned around, freaked out. I told her to go inside. Reporter authorities soon find joeys body, in a stream near her cabin, decapitated. This was just as grisly a scene as you can possibly imagine. He left virtually no evidence at the first scene, he knew he had left a very easy trail for investigators. Reporter someone spotted s kerrys distinctive car. Authorities set up a man huntsz fmanhunt for him yesterday. Now kerry stainer realizes he has to get out.

Reporter taped confession in hand, the fbi asked kerry to take them to where he carried out the murders. With the recovery of the duct tape and the watch and the knife, which was the murder weapon, now were talking evidence. Reporter kerry stainer was found guilty and sentenced to death. As far as i know, hes never talked to anyone about the effect steven might have had on his crimes. Im not sure there is any direct cause and effect. Steven could have greownup normal, happy and healthy and kerry could have still been a serial killer. Reporter now 57, kerry stainer will spend the rest of his life even californias death row. Up next, the last lions, the new plan of attack to preserve the circle of life. Be right back. With moderate to severe Crohns Disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. Is she alright . I hope so. So i talked to my doctor about humira. I learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications.
