Cary Stayner

from Criminology Hosted by Emash Digital

In last week's episode we discussed the abduction and return of Steven Stayner. This week, we discuss Steven's brother Cary and the path he went down that led to multiple murders. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Cary Stayner. While Steven Stayner went on to become a hero after being abducted as a child and later escaping and saving another boy in the process, Steven's older brother Cary went on to achieve just the opposite; he became infamous for the callous and cold blooded crimes that he committed, and by the end of this episode, most listeners will probably be asking, how can two brothers turn out so very different?
