DIED. Steven Stayner, 24, who as a seven-year-old was spirited
away by a sexually abusive man who held him captive for more than
seven years; after a hit-and-run driver collided with his
motorcycle; near Merced, Calif. On his way home from school in
1972, Stayner was grabbed off a Merced street by Kenneth Parnell,
a hotel clerk who convinced the boy that his parents had given him
up for adoption. In 1980 Stayner and another abducted child,
five-year-old Timmy White, escaped; Parnell served five years in
prison for kidnaping. Stayner's story was the subject of the 1989
television film I Know My First Name Is Steven.
