Timothy White, Victim of a Notorious 1980 Kidnapping, Dies at 35
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) — Timothy White, the youngest victim in a notorious California kidnapping case, died on April 1. He was 35.

The cause was a pulmonary embolism, said his stepfather, Roger Gitlin.

Mr. White was 5 years old when he was kidnapped in 1980 by Kenneth Parnell, a convicted child molester. Steven Stayner, then 14, had been kidnapped by Mr. Parnell seven years earlier and was still being held captive. Two weeks after Mr. Parnell took Timothy, the two boys fled from where they were being held and hitchhiked to safety.

Their story was told in the 1989 television movie “I Know My First Name Is Steven.”

And the brother of Steven Stayner, Cary became a murderer himself killing 4 women in Yosemite. He sits on death row.
