Yosemite MurdersCary Stayner lived in the shadow of his younger and more famous brother, Steven, following his bizarre kidnapping in the early '70s at the hands of a convicted pedophile. Stevens's story, recounted in the bestselling "I Know My First Name Is Steven," became a popular NBC Movie of the Week and for a time, turned him into a national hero for courageously breaking free of his kidnapper after almost a decade and testifying against him in court. But Steven died in a motorcycle accident a short time after the movie was broadcast and Cary Stayner meshed his grief with envy and dark, dark fantasies of his own about rape and torture and murder -- fantasies that dated back to his own troubled childhood. Before he was caught, four women would die -- all amid the pastoral beauty of America's greatest and most beautiful National Park. |
