On March three nineteen eighty, he was interviewed again this time. revealing that the other man was open Murphy who had been work at the Yosemite Lodge Cleaning being Austria Lovins since nineteen seventy two he was described. Does, a simple and lonely man who was Easily influenced by others and very eager to please Leg said he was a hard worker who went above and beyond face friends, but was also gullible, naive and Asia. Let us try

If he was arrested without incident remarking to police that he was relieved to hear that Stephen was ok and hadn't been killed by Paul now he claimed to have cold. The myths said police department several times over the years to tell them about the kidnapping but had lost his nerve every time. Someone answered the fine recanting the event. Since December, for nineteen seventy two Murphy tall police that he had planned on catching the idea, I am bound to miss, said to do some Christmas shopping, but he fell asleep and missed the boss. He later awoke to patent, knocking on our door, who suggested that going to Town Murphy was through that the offer of a lift and went with partner to the Miss said to blossom Christmas, presents.

when he was finished. Shopping panel asked Murphy if he would help hand out some religious pamphlets as PA no claimed he was studying to become a minister Murphy again. Aid and the Jew O drove to the Yosemite Parkway, whereupon L hold Murphy to hand the pamphlets out to the children who were walking home from school. Parnell had previously told Murphy that he wanted to adopt an underprivileged or abused child. While they handed out the pamphlets. He asked for Murphy's in picking out a young boy to be. He son, as Murphy himself, had been abused by his mother has a young child. He said that panels plan made sense to him, so he stood at the front of a guy

station on Yosemite Parkway. Indeed, as he was told, when Stevens Dana walked by Murphy, told him he was from the church and asked whether his family might like to make a charitable donations as was raining. Murphy told Stephen that the minister would give him a ride. Home said that he could ask her mother no pulled up in his Buick and Stephen and Murphy got in. Panel then told Stephen: they were going to the Yosemite Lodge where Hay and Murphy lived in the employer, dorm building and would call his mouth

from there to ask if staving could stay. The night Murphy recalled thinking to himself that something wasn't what wrought thought. He found comfort in the fact that Stephen Saint relaxed and wasn't crying over the next few days, Murphy checking on Stephen regularly bringing him food comic books and a small battery operated motorcycle. to keep him aunt attained awake after the abduction. When Porno DR stave into his cabin in Cathy's Valley, they passed the volunteers who would draw having up and down the highway. Looking for the missing boy, Murphy continued to visit the Jew, oh at the cabin and looked after Stephen while panel went to visit his mother.

when part now decided to leave town for good, hey, threatened to tell the authorities that Murphy was the kidnapper unless he agreed to deposit some of these fortnightly pay into panels. Account Murphy reluctantly agreed but stopped the payment knees, light on in nineteen. Seventy four porno tracked Murphy down and once again attempted to blackmail him into continuing the payments but Murphy refused. On March five, nineteen, eighty Irving Murphy in my said, county court, where he pleaded not guilty to the kidnapping of Stevens. Dana veil was set at fifty thousand dollars thirty thousand more than the Ukiah court had set the Kenneth Pa Murphy

was held in the mess said county jail to a white trial. That same day, two officers took Stephen to the small red cabin in Cathy's Valley, whereupon no had first taken him after being kidnapped, staving continue to deny being sexually abused by porno, but now that he's extensive criminal history had come to light police doubted whether Stephen was being truthful, Miss said police also so spent five hours gathering evidence at the mountain view, range cabin and other buildings on the property Heaven had never been secured as a crime sane and a number of reporters had since walked through and contempt, I did the area with some even taking evidence for themselves.

the investigation- was complicated by the fact that Penelon Stephen had moved around frequently throughout the years, meaning police departments from multiple counties were involved officers from the differing jurisdiction and were struggling to fill one another region, while some were deliberately with. holding information altogether. A report off from San Francisco Chronicle presented, the Ukiah police with some Polaroid photographs he had taken from the mountain view, ranch cabin that shied, Stephen and one of his friends naked. They were handed to the Miss said police, but were unable to be used as evidence against Paganel, because it couldn't be proven that they had been taken from the cabin staving. Continue to deny being subject to any sexual abuse. Them said.

I spent three days in Mendocino County visiting H School Stephen had attended since synergies, kidnapping and questioned his friends than their parents. Some of the children had told their parents day had been abused by time, but because the abuse occurred outside of the Miss County District, Miss said, police had no choice face, but to hand the information over to Mendocino Candy District attorney rigid fin, whom they assumed would take action. However, been was seemingly disinterested in the sexual abuse claims and didn't bother to follow up the accusations. FIN had no formal training in psychology, but on March thirteen he attempted to hypnotize Timmy White to save he couldn't cover any information that could help with the

Es Timmy had already told police he had been kidnapped by panel and one other unknown man, but under hypnosis he described the accomplice in such detail that the police identified him has fifteen year old, shorn, Pullman Timmy also denied being subject to any sexual abuse a few days later, shown. Pullman was located and placed under arrest. He had gone too the same school Stephen, but the two were more acquaintances than friends, Pullman locked hanging out at Stevens House, because Porno supplied him with whiskey and cannabis. Hay was fully cooperative with police admitting that in MID November nineteen. Seventy non hundred said that.

He wanted another little boy, but adoption was too much of a hassle. Instead, he said he wanted to find a kid on the straight that didn't have a good time and offered Pullman fifty dollars to help him find a suitable child On February fourteen nineteen, eighty Pullman and PA no drove to Ukiah and bought some girls colliding and head die with the intention of kidnapping to me and then decide watching him as a girl eleven thirty. I am. They parked panels car on the curb Feed straight away from Timmy School and pretended there was something wrong with the tire dead plan was to ask vietnamese help and then throw him into the back seat of the car, but when Timmy walked by, he refused to Hell and kept on walking. Poorman ran after him and Timmy tried to save himself bikes.

Going to chain link fence but Pullman fraud him off, bundled him into the back seat and covered him with a blanket. He then forced the sleeping tablet. The Antilles, through and the trio drove upon else cabin where Pullman left Me and Panella alone, and had nothing further to do with the situation, Pullman was initially charged with kidnapping, but because he cooperated with authorities, the charges were reduced to false imprisonment Given he was a minor, he was released His parents custody to a white court proceedings April six nineteen eighty Stevens Dana was awarded. The fifteen thousand dollars of reward money offered for to me was safe return, a sermon

he was held in Ukiah City Park, where Timmy presented Stephen with a check for the money which was placed in a trust for him to access. When he turned eighteen of the woods, Stevens family drove him. The country, so he could visit with the friends he made during the happiest time these kidnapping from there the family and to mountain view. Wretch Westhaven picked up his favorite go to take back to Miss said with these family. Soon, after Miss said, police presented Stephen with the naked polaroids that the rapporteur had found in the cabin and he finally admitted to being sexually abused by upon now, he said that he was assaulted on the first night of his abduction and the abuse s goal did from their occurring whenever Urban Murphy wasn't around. But the time panel, moved Stephen to centre

Rosa the abuse had become an old I'm the daily occurrence in the spring of nineteen. Seventy four, when Paganel first started dating Barbara Matthias, the pair had sex in front of then eight year old, Even Barbara also willingly right, Stephen had panels insistence when Barbara moved in with even in panel, the three shed a bed and the abuse continued for the next eighteen months. Stephen said he didn't lock Barbara but put up with her, because when she was around the abuse hey received from paganel decreased significantly. When she moved out in nineteen. Seventy six, the abuse against Stephen once again increased in frequency. By the time Stephen was going through Puberty Conall

was no longer attracted to him the abuse networks Approximately once every three weeks, and by Billy January of nineteen, eighty that stopped altogether it was that this point that Paganel insisted on finding another young boy to tax havens, Place Stephen Lighter told all thought mark echoes from the start, recognized my situation as the life threatening and I knew that I had to do what panel wanted me to do. I knew that he might kill me if I didn't do it there's some times that you just have to go along with things you have to learn. Two never say never, because you never know when you're gonna have to do something just to survive.

In California, at the time, the statute of limitations for sexual abuse with three years. Given Stephen, had been abused over a period of seven years. This meant that power no could only be charged with the most recent assaults that occurred between one thousand nine hundred and seventy seven and one thousand nine hundred and eighty. The pair were living in Mendocino County Stephen documented, a total of eighty seven sexual assaults that occurred within this timeframe. These were presented. The district attorney rigid fin, along with the report's taken from several children who claimed to be sexually assaulted by porno in he's trailer at county shortly after being, was replaced by new district attorney javelin, who ultimately decided not to prosecute panel, that any of the sexual offences can

did against Stephen. Alan, lighter told all thought my this decision was by stun a desire to protect Stephen, in contrast aside jump from the mender scene. I can't he shoved department told Ackles that county law enforcement at that time had a strange attitude toward prosecuting adults who were accused of sexually assaulted children. The sergeant said I worked sex crimes and I couldn't get the district attorney to prosecute. They wouldn't haven file case in the lead up to panels, preliminary hearing a psychiatrist for his defence, Dame injected him with thirty impact, that all more commonly known as truth, serum and then interview

come on. Video, while he was under the effect of the drug, did offence hoped to get testimony that good work in panels favour, but the answer he gave was so disturbing the videos but discarded to avoid doing any harm in court. On April nine nineteen. Eighty preliminary hearings for both Kenneth panel and Urban Murphy were hold in a closed. Miss said, court men were charged with kidnapping child stealing false imprisonment and conspiracy to kidnap while porno was also charged with child molestation. Ensure panel didn't face an unfair trial for the kidnapping of Timmy Wide a gag

what I was placed to forbid those in court. From talking to the press about the outcomes of the hearing, Stephen was the first of several witnesses to take the stand. Putting him face to face with panel for the first time he's a arrest. He told the court room that he had always remembered that he's name was Stephen, but panel had threatened to spank him if he ever told anyone he's real identity, it wasn't until he was in the fifth grade that he realized he had been kidnapped and not giving away by his family. At that point, he often considered running away, but never put them. And into action until to me what arrived. The defence for both clients referred to the three year statute of limitations that existed for the crime of kidnapping and argued that, as Stephen had been abducted outside this timescale,

the statute I'd run out and that bought another man. I should face charges in response: the prosecution to buy the death dance that the kidnapping continued for his law Stephen was being held by Parnell and Judge Philosophy, agreed on April seventeen, your data, both panel and Murphy, to stand trial that the kidnapping of Stephen as staving, didn't testify about the sexual abuse and because the eighty seven counts he reported would not admit it. The cord, the child, molestation charges against porno were dropped due to insufficient evidence. Disdain didn't pursue the matter as they were eager to get Stevens Life back on track.

The preliminary hearing for Timmy Watts kidnapping was held on April fifteen in a closed courtroom in the Mendocino County. Superior cod Cottonelle pleaded not guilty to all charges. Shorn Pullman testified against him. saying that panel never even paid him the fifty dollars he had promised for his participation in the kidnapping. When Poorman was asked why he went along with Panos plan. He responded. He wanted to build his family. He wanted a little boy judge James Allude thought concluded. There was enough evidence that the case against PA now to perceive the trial on April

Twenty nine Miss said can't he district Attorney Pat Whole third lodged a motion to have power no tried on cancer, sodomy and oral calculation against Stephen, say. He believed he had gathered enough evidence for the charges to be upheld. Public Fender John Celery wanted Stephen to undergo psychiatric testing to determine if this sexual acts were real or whether they were figment of his imagination, adjudged denied this request, saying here, find no compelling reason for Stephen to undergo such testing that events planned to file a motion to have the sex obese charges dismissed before the trial life returned to normal for Timmy Wide and his family, who were eager to put the kidnapping incident behind them.

To move on, Timmy returned to kindergarten and resumed his daily walks from school. To he's, babysitters house disdain is paid in some of the reward money they had raised when Stephen was missing and also gay imitation that red. I'm somebody special Timmy wore the shirt to school. pride and enjoyed the attention he got from his classmates and townspeople. Meanwhile, Stephen began north right at Miss said high school, the schools principle, Joseph Raves, told the mess said a Sun STAR Newspaper We are all going to turn ourselves inside out to help him, but one of the best things we can do is let the kid forget it. If he can handle this, he can handle anything taken, handled, live.

However, when the details emerged about the sexual abuse staving enjoyed, he was bullied by his classmates. Some accused him of being gay and a willing participant with only Stephen siblings and some other classmates standing up him. He had trouble making mayo friends but was very popular with the female students. Stephen dated many Women later admitting, he did so to prove his heterosexuality case Dana, her job as a cook at the local hospital to be home with her family. Despite the backlash Stephen faced at school, he continued to tell he story in the hopes that other Dron wouldn't have to go through an ordeal like he's. He became

the symbol of hope for parents of missing children and volunteered his time to helping missing children. Burps many people who followed Stephen story were curious as to why he didn't leave PA now, when he had so many opportunities to do so. Psychologists put forward multiple theory including that Stephen had become attached to Parnell on a parental level depending on him for food clothing and shelter Porno was also highly manipulative and maintained power over Stephen. Being constantly on the run PA successfully kept Stephen Selected and alone, with PA, now being the one constant in his life. In addition, some fear OZ, that Stephen was so ashamed of the sexual abuse that he decided to endure. It rather than

that publicly known. In he's evaluation of Stephen psychiatrist, that would be concluded even was essentially trapped and banned within the young, conscious mind of Dennis the name given to him upon now, when Dennis so the active distress of the younger child Timmy, why? He satisfaction with the myth of being Dennis, began to deteriorate when he saw that Timmy was traded with kindness and concerned by the office saw the mythic person was subordinated to the real person, and the young man spoke his true name. It is my absolute belief that, with the acknowledgement of he's too

Why density Stevens Dana frayed himself from his state of being kidnapped from a psychological point of view? He was still in a state of kidnap until he spoke his name, thus ending a saki captcha that lasted two thousand six hundred and forty four days. On June seven nineteen eighty one shown Pullman was convicted of false imprisonment for his involvement, with Timmy Whites kidnapping and sentenced to two years in a residential juvenile facility. The following day, panels trials. The Timaeus kidnapping comments that the superior court in Alameda County, where he pleaded not guilty. it had been moved from Mendocino County to ensure trial.

The trial ran for close to three ways when panel was cool. To the stand, hey blamed, Jimmy's, kidnapping on unshorn, Pullman and Pullmans Step farther Henry Media Junior, claiming they blackmail him into committing the crime Pa No claimed that Henry knew the truth about Stephen and has threatened to hurt panels, mother, if he didn't steal a young boy, that Henry could trade for money drugs panels,. Said he was home on the afternoon of February 14th, one thousand nine hundred and eighty when Pullman and his stepfather suddenly appeared at the cabin with Timmy saying they had kidnapped a child. On the stand, Henry many a junior denied ever mating, Porno Stephen or to me, which was backed up by Timmy himself, who testified that Henry was not he's kidnapping.

In closing arguments on June, twenty nine, the defence are There was enough reasonable, dare to acquit Porno loved the kidnapping charges and urged the jury to consider the lesser charge of false imprisonment. Instead,. The jury deliberated for two hours before decline: during panel guilty of kidnapping as the verdict was delivered, PA bowed his head and. On September twenty five nineteen. Eighty one job GM, oh so broad, sentenced upon l to the maximum of seven years in prison. The defence pleaded for leniency, given that Timmy hadn't being harmed, but Broad rebutted Jimmy had not been physically harmed, but we do not know the extent of the fraud

and anxiety. This little boy must have suffered. We can all be grateful for we saw hearing court. He appears to be a bright fancy little boy, and we can take comfort in that thought. Can not conclude that no harm has been done as the trial. The Stevens Dana's kidnapping approached Urban Murphy's lawyers attempted to have their client tried separately to Kenneth panel, but their request Denied on December ten nineteen, eighty one, the trial of both men commenced hey, would hole of justice in Alameda County running for several weeks. the defence maintained that the statute of limitations had passed and that after that, Stephen had chosen. Stay with paganel had his own free will decline,

and he was happy to be away from his family because his parents sometimes physically disciplined him and he didn't agree. With their move from the farm ranch to Suburban, Miss said AY and Del Steiner. Both took the stand and committed, they sometimes smacked their children obey We rarely, but he insisted they never used excessive force and believed any punishments. Thy dished out, where appropriate, to the situation Urban Murphy's defence argued that Murphy himself had been a victim of panels, as panel had manipulated him into the kidnapping and had gone along with it because he was so eager to please they are that Murphy only played a part in the initial kidnapping, not Stephen.

ongoing captivity and they're. All this statute of limitations had passed when Murphy was called to the stand. He was so poorly presented with crazy hair, dirty clothes and broken glasses. That judge Brewer postponed the trial until he could have a shallow and clean himself up, when the trial resumed Murphy testify Open about he's involvement with the kidnapping repeating the same story. He had told police from the start. And insisted he had no idea that Paganel intended to sexually abused Stephen nurse said police, chief, Harold call birth, told the court Murphy allowed himself to be Used while he's not intellectual by any means, certainly I think

the man knows right from Rome and Hey participated in a very, very serious crime. He covered it up and did not both with information that was needed to help bond Stephen will clear the case up, Those ease Stephen testing I too, being ashamed that Hey had obeyed PA now and that hey himself couldn't comprehend why he didn't leave or tell someone about he's true identity. no said to Doktor Philip HAM, who had evaluated Stephen testified that he's parents had raised him to do whatever adults told him to do without question and he was therefore particularly vulnerable to respect the influence of adults, to explain Why Stephen didn't leave Parnell Doktor hand stated when first abducted Stana was confused, shocked and

fried. He began feeling enraged, emotion,. Blocking occurs, a sense of hopelessness, despair, giving up and turning himself over two he's a doctor follows Unable to understand he's feelings and finding it less painful to avoid them. He began to act and to respond as though he were Dennis part. EL the identity partner, assigned him as Dana becoming basically dependent on personnel. He became a cable. of forming another choice. From another point of view, we can ask why didn't he lave, but from a child's perspective, the question is, if motto parents want me: why don't you come get me on December, twenty two inmates found out about the sexual abuse Paganel committed against Stephen and

bade him in prison, resulting in broken ribs and an injured, nay. He was transferred to an isolated cell. But given the all clear to return to court The trial was put on hold for Christmas and resume on January, for nineteen. Eighty, two for closing arguments, district attorney, Pat whole food stated Any verdict- that's not kidnapping and kidnapping thick conspiracy, I think, would be a cruel joke on Stephen and it would be a sad and tragic day for just this in my said, county and Alameda County and any other canopy in this state. On January, seven, nineteen eighty to the jury found both Kenneth panel and Urban Murphy guilty of second, the great kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap.

Murphy was visibly shaken when the verdict was delivered, sighing loudly and chewing on his knuckles PA no showed no emotion but started blinking rapidly. both men were remanded in custody until sentencing the following month outside court case, Dana told reporters on very happy. The jury came in with a guilty verdict, but am anxious about the sentence panel will get it could be a very long sentence or it could be very short. It will be up to the judge, but we want to create these fellow off the street when the sentencing to play. Some February three. This Dana family chose not to attend, as I felt it was more important that their lives returned to normal judge. So broad told upon now,

A seven year old boy was taken from his home and allied to told that he's parents didn send him anymore, presumably Didn't love him any more Resulting psychological impact that this obviously had on this young boy. Yes, Sixteen years of age is something that he struck dealing with now and will be struggling with for the rest of his life. The impact that this head on his family is difficult to measure and difficult to perceive and to fully appreciate all this conduct was callous deceitful, insensitive. and as far as the court is concerned, fully justifies the imposition of the maximum sentence. That's available jobs abroad, sentenced panel to the maximum of seven.

He is but californian law at that time, dictated that two kidnapping sentences couldn't be served consecutively. Give That panel had already received a seven year sentence for the kidnapping of Timmy. What this and he only received an additional twenty months for the charge of conspiracy to kidnap Stephen. So broad acknowledged, this was an incredibly lenient sentence and clarified quote this is not in keeping with what the court feels is an a priori. It time, but it is in providing with the law required judge the broad then turned to Murphy and sentenced him to five years in prison He acknowledged Murphy's clean criminal record and the fact that he eventually accepted responsibility for his role in the crime that highlighted that he didn't come forward.

What are these earlier said that Stephen could be returned to his family? The public was, Outraged at the outcome, with one jury. Member telling report is that the trial was a waste of time and taxpayers dollars. poles were made for the legislation to be changed in order to prevent any From using this legal loophole to secure a lot a sentence in the future nautical they newspaper the press Democrat stated the maximum said since the judge was allowed to impose on piano was twenty months. There is something Very wrong with the criminal justice system, when a seven year kidnap is punished by a sentence of only twenty months. Stephen expressed his disappointment in panel sent and saying he would have liked to see him behind bars

until he was ninety years old and unable to hurt anyone else. In contrast, staving said he felt sorry for Urban Murphy and that he would one day locked to see him again. Six months later, in August of nineteen, eighty to this date, Assembly of California. Voted unanimously in favour of new legislation to increase the prison terms for multiple kidnappings? The legislation was signed off by the governor on September, thirty nineteen. Eighty two. Stephen lighter told or thumb mark echoes. People are always asking what would you say to Pinal? If you ever saw him? Do you have any feelings towards him? I told them straight out that are spent seven years with him. He traded me. Well, he looked after me.

I thank keeping me alive and I am grateful to him for that. But even also said he hated panel with a passion for stealing seven years. If he's law and for making Miss out on all the experiences and memories he's family had created without him over the years. Stephen had spent so much time away from school, testifying at both the trials and providing interviews to the press that he struggled academically heels I struggled at high now he wasn't new to taking orders, he found it difficult to follow his parents rules against drinking alcohol on smoking, cannabis this creative tension in the home and k and Adele for constantly.

Nineteen. Eighty three staving seller, I did he say, eighteenth birthday, giving him access to the fifteen thousand dollars reward money.
