His family, including his older brother Cary and three sisters, lived a relatively peaceful life until a tragic event disrupted their world.
The Abduction: A Life Altered
On December 4, 1972, seven-year-old Steven was approached by Ervin Edward Murphy, an accomplice of convicted child molester Kenneth Parnell. Murphy, under the guise of seeking donations for a church, lured Steven into Parnell's car. Parnell then abducted Steven, taking him to a remote cabin in Catheys Valley, California. There, Parnell manipulated Steven into believing that his parents no longer wanted him and that Parnell had legal custody. This deception marked the beginning of seven years of captivity. ...Read More

on Vanished at Sea: The Mysterious Disappearance of Cameron Booth Off Chincoteague's Coast
He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was.
