I was so touched by this story and cannot imagine the horror. I was telling my daughter, Alix the story as I remember it from the eighties. We decided to follow it up by looking it up on the Internet. We cannot believe that Parnell got such a lenient sentence and then was freed to commit further crimes. Our hearts go out to Kay and Del and to little Timmy White. How inconsiderate is his stupid, idiot brother for committing crimes and then trying to use Steven's experience as an excuse. Did he not think his parents had suffered enough? To all the people of Merced - shame on you for letting the negative side overtake the positive side. Get a memorial for Steven asap!! We'll remember this story for many years to come. I have recalled it many times to my children. Of course in previous years there was no internet to back up my recollection. God Bless you Steven RIP Esther Jackson and Alix Rigby Wigan UK
