Steven Stayner’s Abduction and Escape — The Boy Who Refused to Forget

In 1972, seven-year-old Steven Stayner was walking home from school in Merced, California when he was abducted by a child predator posing as a church worker. For the next seven years, Steven lived under a false name, raised by his captor, and forced to endure a stolen childhood. But in 1980, when his abductor took another boy, Steven made a courageous choice that changed everything. This Crime at Bedtime episode tells the extraordinary true story of Steven Stayner’s kidnapping, survival, and eventual escape — a case that shocked America, inspired a TV miniseries, and left scars that would haunt the Stayner family for generations.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
