On 4 Dec 1972, when Steven was seven years old, he was kidnapped by Kenneth "Ken" Parnell (with the aid of an accomplice) and raised by him as his "son" and sex partner for the next seven years in various California towns, mostly around the Ukiah and Fort Bragg area. Around 1979 or 80, Ken decided he wanted another little son and with the aid of another accomplice kidnapped Timothy "Timmy" White, who was then about five years old. A few weeks later, Steven, while Ken was at work, hitchhiked with Timmy to Ukiah where they went to the police. Both Timmy, who had been missing about two weeks, and Steven missing for seven years, were subsequently reunited with their families. Steven later married, on 12 Jun 1985 in Merced County to Jody L Edmondson. They had two children. Steven and died in an accident 16 Sep 1989, while riding his motorcycle. Steven's older brother is that Cary Stayner, who later killed four women in or around Yosemite National Park, was convicted and sentenced to death, and is currently on death row in California. ===Primary documents=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=cabirth1905%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=21196953&recoff=1+3 California Birth Index, 1905-95] showing : "Steven G Stayner, born 18 Apr 1965, Merced County, mother's maiden name Augustin" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CaMarrIndex%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=1&recid=8397913&recoff=1+3 California Marriage Index, 1960-85] showing : "Steven G Stayner, age 20 to Jody L Edmondson, age 17, 12 Jun 1985, Merced County" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CAdeath1940%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=7018850&recoff=1+2 California Death Index, 1940-97] showing : "Steven Gregory Stayner, born 18 Apr 1965 California, died 16 Sep 1989 Merced County, mother's maiden name Augustine" ===Secondary sources=== *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=8049&iid=NEWS-CA-OA_TR.1974_12_05_0013&r=an&rc=2924,4671,3049,4709;2738,4709,2888,4747&fn=delbert&ln=stayner&st=d&ssrc=&pid=511054861 "Sad Yule in Home of Missing Boy"], ''Oakland Tribune'', 5 Dec 1974, page F13 *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Stayner "Steven Stayner"] on Wikipedia *''I Know My First Name is Steven'', by Mike Echols.

While he was a teenager, his family moved to California. In his later 20's he moved to [[Trinity County, California]] where he met his future wife Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine. They married in 1960 and had five children: Cary A 1961, Cynthia E 1963, Stephen G 1965, Jody C 1967, Corene V 1968. In 1990, Del's brother Jerry Stayner was murdered, in his house/apartment, with a shotgun. Del's eldest son Cary Stayner was staying with Jerry at the time, but he had an alibi and the murder has never been solved. Another Stayner sibling is Anna (Stayner) Jones whose name has appeared in various news articles. ===Primary documents=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=people&so=2&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Delbert&gsln=Stayner&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-b&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416 "Delbert Stayner"] on the ''U.S. Public Records'' database at Ancestry ==Margaret Mary Katherine Augustine== Margaret Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine was born 7 June 1941 in [[Trinity County, California]], as the youngest child of Bob Augustine and his wife Mary Madden. Bob and Mary had two previous children: Robert 1930 and Florence 1936, both born in San Francisco County. ==Jesse James Stayner== ==Luella Candice Towell== ==Robert Augustine== ==Mary== ==Possible royal ascent== The most likely possibility that I've noticed so far, would be to firm up the supposed descent of Steven from Joshua White (1726-1784), of Joshua White from Daniel Sanbourne (d 1712), of Daniel Sanbourne from Anne Bachiler (d 1632), of Anne Bachiler from Anne Bray (b 1543). This Anne if she can be shown to be a daughter of Edward Bray by his wife Beatrice Shirley, as stated in OneWorldTree has a large and well-known ancestry (see [http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/pedigree.aspx?pid=1003306&st=1 OneWorldTree here]), including, no doubt, several descents from Edward I, King of England.
