[00:00:24] Dann: depending on, it
[00:00:24] Allie: we put this in.
[00:00:25] Allie: I'm not really sure. So scratch that part,

[00:00:38] Dann: I know. We took a break. Well, we already told you we took a break,
[00:00:41] Allie: You already knew we took a
[00:00:42] Dann: a break.
[00:00:42] Dann: Yeah. I mean, yeah, we,
[00:00:43] Allie: we took a
[00:00:43] Dann: you haven't seen us a peer in your feed, so you knew we took a break. We were,
[00:00:48] Allie: know what we did do though? We did our virtual happy hour for our Patreon members. That was fun.
[00:00:54] Dann: was so much fun.
[00:00:56] Allie: It was smaller this time than it normally was.
[00:00:58] Allie: That 
[00:00:58] Dann: that was kind of our fault.
[00:00:59] Allie: Yeah, [00:01:00] we were really bad.
[00:01:00] Allie: We, we kind of like stopped posting all together, but it was still fun.
[00:01:05] Dann: was still fun. We were in, we were in break mode. Like you literally, you literally text. If you didn't text me that morning, I would've forgot completely about it.
[00:01:13] Allie: Yeah, because No, I told you then before,
[00:01:15] Dann: but that's what I meant. I'm sorry.
[00:01:17] Dann: Yeah. If you didn't say anything, I honestly would've completely
[00:01:20] Allie: well, we originally, our plans was to record that night anyway. Oh yeah. But I was like, I, I, cause I knew we had it scheduled for like
[00:01:27] Dann: because we pushed eighth or something. We pushed it up
[00:01:29] Allie: that's difficult cause it's right after Christmas and we pushed it
[00:01:32] Dann: it up. We pushed it 
[00:01:33] Allie: up. Yeah. 
[00:01:34] Dann: So yeah, we had our happy, we had a virtual happy hour. Like Allie said, it was, it was a little smaller this time, but it was fine. We still had a blast. We
[00:01:40] Allie: we did like a different styled game where it was. Who would be the most per, who would be the person most likely to do X, Y, and Z?
[00:01:48] Allie: We did a little bit of that and then we just ended up bullshitting cuz we were telling stories about what we had just discussed.
[00:01:56] Dann: Yeah. And you know what the conversation led to at the end? Kitty litter,[00:02:00] 
[00:02:00] Allie: Oh yeah. We all have cats, so we are all talking about the best.
[00:02:04] Dann: when you're on a podcast with a, with multiple cat owners, it'll
[00:02:09] Allie: she goes on cue
[00:02:10] Dann: So if anything came out of that happy hour, I am getting, I'm, I
[00:02:15] Allie: A litter robot.
[00:02:16] Dann: box.
[00:02:17] Allie: Yeah. One of those ones that scoops it for you.
[00:02:20] Dann: Yeah.
[00:02:22] Dann: Besides that, the happy hour was a blast. we'll be definitely kicking those back in the high gear for 2023.
[00:02:29] Allie: Mm-hmm.
[00:02:30] Dann: our next one would be February, but happy hour. 
[00:02:34] Allie: hour.
[00:02:34] Allie: Yeah. 
[00:02:35] Dann: It'd be February.
[00:02:36] Allie: and
[00:02:37] Allie: if you wanna join, subscribe to our Patreon. So far, I cannot say that I have had a bad, happy hour. Every one of them so far has been a blast.
[00:02:46] Dann: I know every, that's the, that's the feedback we've been 
[00:02:49] Allie: receiving.
[00:02:50] Allie: I know so we drink wine. everybody does it virtually, so there's no reason to feel left out or anything.
[00:02:58] Dann: Mm-hmm. , 
[00:02:59] Allie: [00:03:00] Eventually I wanna get to the point where, we can do like separate like recordings, like 10 minute recordings or whatever for our Patreon members also. but the Happy Hour so far has been my favorite part of having this Patreon. The happy hours are just a blast.
[00:03:15] Dann: Mm-hmm.
[00:03:16] Dann: Yeah, they are. I look forward to them.
[00:03:18] Allie: too. I really do. how have you.
[00:03:20] Dann: I'm good. Still surviving. 
[00:03:22] Allie: I know. Well, once again, Christmas has not yet happened. but what are your Christmas plans this year?
I actually do have cra well, different, different plans than usual this so my, in my family, my sister works in healthcare.
[00:03:39] Dann: So we typically have Christmas on Christmas Eve every other year cuz she usually has to work. So this year we have it on.
[00:03:48] Allie: Woo. almost just spilled that all over my iPad. Oh
[00:03:52] Dann: Whoops.
[00:03:53] Allie: Did I look scared?
[00:03:54] Dann: You did, you looked terrified. Honestly, so yeah, so this year we're having Christmas on Christmas [00:04:00] Eve again. I think we had on Christmas Eve last year too.
[00:04:03] Allie: I don't know. I don't remember what happened yesterday. So, but this year, which makes it extra special, is, we're actually gonna be doing the Feast of the Seven Fishes for the first time. That's the Italian ever? Yes, it's the Italian thing. are you a fish eat? 
[00:04:18] Dann: Yeah. 
[00:04:19] Allie: didn't think you were.
[00:04:21] Dann: I, like, I eat a lot of stuff
[00:04:22] Dann: Okay.
[00:04:23] Dann: But, so, and it's not, it doesn't have to be a certain fish, it's just like seven different fishes
[00:04:29] Dann: or, Or 
[00:04:29] Allie: It's an actual fish though, right? Like it's not crab. Okay.
[00:04:32] Dann: seafood. Yeah. And so I am bringing a dish, which I can't wait. I have to go buy stuff for it still.
[00:04:40] Allie: What are you making?
[00:04:41] Dann: I'm making, Cino. It's like an, it's an an,
[00:04:45] Allie: cold dish?
[00:04:46] Dann: No.
[00:04:46] Dann: Okay. That's, GPAC or, I forget, it's called something else, but, it's essentially like, a, a seafood stew.
[00:04:53] Dann: So this, this is, it has, muscles, clams, scallops, a white fish and shrimp and like a red [00:05:00] sauce.
[00:05:00] Allie: Oh.
[00:05:02] Allie: So I guess is each one of your family members bringing a different dish?
[00:05:04] Dann: essentially I have, like most of, I have, I think I have seven fish covered just in my dish alone, but,
[00:05:09] Allie: Oh, there's different fish
[00:05:10] Dann: But Yeah, but everyone's gonna, everyone's gonna bring something and, yeah, we've never done this.
[00:05:14] Dann: Like no one in my family has a
[00:05:17] Allie: That's, you guys are pretty Italian 
[00:05:19] Dann: Yeah.
[00:05:20] Dann: Yeah. But,
[00:05:21] Allie: be.
[00:05:22] Dann: and I don't actually really know a lot of people that, I think it's like you e either do it or you don't. Like, it's like one of those things.
[00:05:28] Allie: Yeah.
[00:05:29] Dann: and it's just a feast on Christmas Eve. That's all it is. It's nothing really crazy.
[00:05:33] Allie: I am not all. So like, I mean, I've heard of people doing it, but like, I don't think it would ever be done in my family. I have like maybe a 0.5%
[00:05:43] Dann: mean, you could do it, but
[00:05:45] Allie: I'm not even a huge like fish eater, so I'm more okay with just having like ham or Turkey or something for
[00:05:52] Dann: Yeah. I like, I do like fish.
[00:05:54] Dann: I've . I'm actually really excited to make my thing, but I have to go buy all the ingredients because I was [00:06:00] Googling. I'm like, I wanted to go yesterday
[00:06:03] Dann: because this, I know this is very thrilling content, but I then I would dawned on me, I was like, I can't go buy the ingredients because I have to buy muscles and clams and they have to be alive.
[00:06:14] Allie: Oh, 
[00:06:16] Dann: because
[00:06:16] Dann: you, I you, they can't die before I cook on 'em.
[00:06:19] Allie: So you can't go food shopping until like the day 
[00:06:21] Dann: No, I have to go food shopping on Christmas Eve. I'm like dreading it now.
[00:06:25] Allie: Can you just, Instacart?
[00:06:26] Dann: I probably could, but I'm, I think I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go like shop, right.
[00:06:31] Dann: The
[00:06:31] Dann: one over here and
[00:06:33] Allie: Yeah. The one by you? 
[00:06:34] Dann: you? Yeah.
[00:06:35] Dann: And you
[00:06:36] Allie: Wait, which one do you go to
[00:06:38] Allie: on?
[00:06:39] Dann: I usually go to the one and she landing.
[00:06:41] Allie: Oh, that's far from you, isn't it?
[00:06:43] Dann: No. Instead, no, it's actually closer because instead of,
[00:06:47] Allie: go sh Okay. Yeah. Now I know where you're
[00:06:49] Dann: of going straight down the road to the shop, right, I just, I turn and come here. Okay. But, if I do go.
[00:06:55] Dann: I
[00:06:55] Dann: usually stop at the one closer to my office, but Okay.
[00:06:58] Dann: I ha I still work from home. So , [00:07:00] I didn't go in the office this week.
[00:07:02] Allie: didn't you?
[00:07:03] Allie: didn't have to. 
[00:07:05] Dann: Yeah. She was like, don't go in
[00:07:06] Allie: nice. Love that.
[00:07:08] Dann: And then she's off next week. She's like, you don't have to go in. I was like, okay.
[00:07:10] Allie: Well we're, our office is opening back up. I don't know when It's very, very soon
[00:07:16] Allie: Yeah. Well, they keep pushing the date back, but it's opening very soon and I've already been in there to see the finished, like what I, it looks really 
[00:07:27] Dann: I'm Sure it 
[00:07:28] Allie: does. It looks really cool. I'll be honest, like the
[00:07:30] Dann: I wanna, I wanna stop by
[00:07:31] Allie: You should, yeah. I'll let you in. I'll scan you in Yeah, Let me in.
[00:07:37] Dann: I mean, I'll just walk in the back. 
[00:07:40] Allie: Like we have a wall full of plants that we have a gardener come in to check on. It fucking has sprinklers and all this shit behind the wall to keep the plants alive. I was like,
[00:07:51] Dann: it's so funny.
[00:07:53] Allie: they can't pay for a good cleaner, but they can play for a 
[00:07:55] Dann: that's what I was, 
[00:07:56] Allie: care of our plant wall,
[00:07:57] Dann: that.
[00:07:57] Dann: I was like, they bitching, complain [00:08:00] about dime, like nickling diving everything, and now they have a plant service
[00:08:04] Allie: Wait, although I will say, because this is probably one of my So when at work I used to sit at the front desk, like the receptionist desk. That's where I got my start. In this company. I'm sitting up there, I'm doing my thing.
[00:08:19] Allie: We had somebody who just came in for an interview. So he is sitting down
[00:08:23] Dann: is this the Yeah.
[00:08:24] Allie: He's sitting down next to me, do it just like waiting for whoever to come pick him and take him back. Whatever. He gets ready to leave.
[00:08:34] Allie: He, everybody, the office is quiet. Our office is always very
[00:08:38] Dann: we all heard it.
[00:08:39] Allie: I, I fucking died,
[00:08:41] Dann: I'm sure you were still, you had a front row seat to it.
[00:08:44] Allie: So this guy shakes hands with whoever interviewed him. That person leaves. He
[00:08:49] Dann: he was on Doug's team, right?
[00:08:50] Dann: Or interviewing with Doug?
[00:08:51] Allie: don't remember.
[00:08:53] Allie: but he, he comes to my desk, he's saying goodbye to me. I was like, bye. Like, I'm like, busy.
[00:08:59] Allie: So [00:09:00] like, go do your thing. Turns to leave. Don't his mother face plants like hard into the,
[00:09:12] Allie: because he didn't realize it was closer. He thought it was just a walkway. He walked like into the
[00:09:17] Dann: place. He came in that way. Yeah, because that's the only way into the building.
[00:09:21] Allie: He didn't, but I guess on the way out, he got so distracted and forgot that this was glass and not a vestibule. He plowed, you heard the sound echoing through the building and he just goes, Frick. I, I was like, are you okay? Do you need ice? And he's like, I'm okay. And he shamefully walked out the door.
[00:09:49] Dann: never saw him
[00:09:49] Allie: We never saw or heard from. No, that was his first day.
[00:09:54] Dann: You're right. It
[00:09:55] Allie: wasn't, that was his first day. He was leaving.
[00:09:57] Allie: He got hired and he quit [00:10:00] after that. I waited for him to get to his car and I fucking lost it. I'm pretty sure everybody in the office heard me
[00:10:09] Allie: like 
[00:10:10] Dann: Well, I think I even came to the
[00:10:12] Allie: the, I couldn't breathe. And
[00:10:13] Dann: were all like, what the fuck was that sound?
[00:10:15] Allie: My or my Now boss, it was, it was just another employee at the time.
[00:10:19] Allie: She's now my boss. She comes over to me, she's like, what are you okay? And I was like, Trying to get the story out. I couldn't breathe. So funny.
[00:10:29] Dann: Yeah. And then the next day they put two chairs and a Christmas tree in front of it.
[00:10:32] Dann: So no funny until they put I
[00:10:36] Allie: It was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed in my life, and he felt like,
[00:10:41] Dann: and it's not like they cleaned those glass
[00:10:43] Allie: They're not at all at all
[00:10:46] Dann: would collect our trash or vacuum like . Those walls, those windows were not clean
[00:10:52] Allie: Oh my God. Was, 
[00:10:53] Dann: That was fun. I forgot about that. Thank you for bringing that
[00:10:56] Allie: that. Oh my God, that was so funny.
[00:10:57] Allie: I completely lost track about what we were supposed to talk about [00:11:00] today.
[00:11:00] Dann: Mandela effect. conspiracies.
[00:11:03] Dann: Oh my God, yes. But well, before we dump into that, did you have anything else going on?
[00:11:07] Allie: don't know. That's why I can't remember. We were gonna talk about something.
[00:11:10] Dann: That was a good story though. oh, your book club. Your book club.
[00:11:13] Allie: Oh, first of all, I always thought book clubs were stupid because I was like, it's a bunch of old, the
[00:11:19] Dann: don't miss a, you don't miss a single one
[00:11:21] Allie: It's a bunch of old ladies sitting around eating scones and drinking their tea. This is not what our book
[00:11:27] Dann: club now.
[00:11:27] Dann: And you brought cookies
[00:11:29] Allie: No, I did. I left it in the bag. Cause everybody else had food, so I'm like,
[00:11:32] Dann: Oh.
[00:11:33] Allie: So we have a book club that we do where every book club, we go to a different brewery. We listen to books, or we read the books like depending on audio version. And then we do a different brewery that I haven't tried yet. Like so there's a different brewery every week. Last week we went to another local one.
[00:11:51] Allie: I've never heard of it, let alone had it before. And they make their own seltzers, like alcoholic seltzers, which I had.
[00:11:59] Allie: [00:12:00] Blueberry mojito seltzer that they made. It was fantastic. And I have to go back and buy some cuts. It was really good. There was other, there's another one too.
[00:12:10] Dann: Was this the one in Merchantville?
[00:12:12] Allie: No, it was in Cherry Hill, but it was called me Mechanics. 
[00:12:15] Dann: Yeah.
[00:12:17] Dann: I've heard of it. I've never been there
[00:12:18] Allie: It was really good. It was like literally right on the highway. Okay. Like you get off the highway, you go around and then like it's right, like you can see the highway from the parking.
[00:12:28] Allie: But
[00:12:28] Allie: yes, that place was fantastic. I will definitely be back. but we, we discussed a book,
[00:12:33] Allie: It was an okay book. Even the person who picked it didn't love it, but we discussed book, we had fun, all this stuff. So the next one that we're doing, we are reading Fairytale by Stephen King. I'm on like maybe chapter 10 right now.
[00:12:46] Allie: It's a long book. It is a thick book. I think it's on audio. There's 24 hours. Wow. It's a big book, but so far this book is fantastic. So if you're looking for a good read, I would highly suggest starting Fairytale by Stephen [00:13:00] King. It's his newest book just came out Oh, maybe in the summer.
[00:13:04] Dann: cool. I didn't know that.
[00:13:05] Allie: yeah, so it's really good.
[00:13:06] Allie: And then, we're gonna be doing King's Road Brewery.
[00:13:09] Allie: So if you wanna 
[00:13:10] Dann: saw that.
[00:13:11] Dann: you don't even have to read the book . Everybody just, half the people don't even read it or finish it. They just show up. I, I might actually come to the Kings Road one cuz it's close
[00:13:19] Allie: it is, yeah.
[00:13:20] Dann: but, and I like Kings
 was my adventure. Oh.
[00:13:22] Allie: And I made little pint glasses for everybody for Christmas. Oh, cool. So it had
[00:13:26] Dann: with your cricket,
[00:13:27] Allie: I etched onto it. I used to cricket as a stencil and I etched like the pints and
[00:13:32] Dann: and pieces. Oh, that's cool. The logo,
[00:13:33] Allie: yeah. Yeah. So everybody got those, like those.
[00:13:36] Dann: Very
[00:13:37] Dann: cool. 
[00:13:39] Allie: but yes, if you don't belong to a book club, highly suggest
[00:13:41] Dann: it.
[00:13:41] Allie: it.
[00:13:41] Allie: So,
[00:13:43] Dann: That's cool.

[00:16:53] Dann: I mean, he, he was known for eating. It might be a Turkey leg.
[00:16:56] Allie: thought it was a Turkey leg. No, a glove.

[00:19:13] Allie: Yes. But I will definitely save the link. I'm actually going
[00:19:16] Dann: yeah, it's like, text it to me or something. So we have it. So, we're just ready for rock, paper, scissors then, right?
[00:19:22] Dann: I, I think
[00:19:22] Allie: would be the ecological step. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:19:24] Dann: Okay. You know, the formula of conspiracy. Happy hour,
[00:19:27] Allie: Lets see. Can I keep up a streak?
[00:19:29] Dann: Probably Ooh,
[00:19:31] Allie: hold on.
[00:19:32] Dann: now. Hold on.

[00:19:42] Dann: So it surprised me.
[00:19:45] Allie: you. You must not guy my paper. Scissor. Shoot.
[00:19:48] Dann: Okay. Tied. Woo. 
[00:19:51] Allie: All right. 
[00:19:52] Dann: I get to go 
[00:19:53] Allie: one. 
[00:19:54] Dann: All righty. So today I brought to you
[00:19:58] Allie: I jinx [00:20:00] I was like, I'm gonna keep my streak.
[00:20:01] Dann: I know you, you did. I don't know what I was gonna say,
[00:20:04] Allie: You're like, yeah. Yeah, you
[00:20:05] Dann: you did
[00:20:06] Allie: Sure.
[00:20:07] Dann: Alright, so today I brought to you, the missing years of Steven Steiner. She might have heard of before.
[00:20:16] Dann: I'm not sure.
[00:20:18] Allie: I don't even think I've heard of Steven Stainer.
[00:20:19] Dann: He is a person
[00:20:23] Dann: that he was, he is a, a kidnapped victim and, and there's been a lot of, like movies and documentaries made about it. So Steven Gregory Stainer, born April 18th, 1965, was an American kidnapping victim who was abducted on December 4th, 1970.
[00:20:43] Dann: Seven years old. At the time of the incident, a stainer was abducted in, I think it's pronounced Merced, excuse me, California by child molester, Kenneth Parnell Parnell held Steven only 38 [00:21:00] miles away am Mariposa County, California, and later moved to. Menino County, California until he was 14 when he managed to escape with another of Parnell's victims, Timothy White.
[00:21:16] Dann: So, and there's another, I'm, I have, like, I, I didn't do the research for it yet, but there's a part two and I'll get to it. Okay. so. Stainer was the third of five children born to Dilbert and Kay Stainer in
[00:21:30] Allie: that's an unfortunate
[00:21:32] Dann: I know in Merced County, California. He had three sisters and an older brother, Kari. And in 2002, Kari was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1999 murder of four women.
[00:21:46] Dann: So that's the part two. Oh, . His brother is known for some other.
[00:21:53] Dann: So back to the kidnapping, , why we're all here, why, why we're all here. on the afternoon of December 4th, 1972, [00:22:00] stainer was approached on his way home from school by a man named Irvin Edward Murphy, who had become acquainted with Convicted Child Rapist Kenneth Parnell, as they both worked at a resort in Yosemite National Park.
[00:22:15] Dann: Murphy described by those who knew him as trusting, naive and simple minded man. Murphy described by those who knew him as a trusting, naive, and simple minded man had been enlisted by Parnell, who had passed himself off to Murphy as an aspiring minister into helping him abduct a young boy so that Parnell could raise him in a religious type.
[00:22:39] Dann: As Murphy later stated,
[00:22:41] Allie: this I think is starting to sound more he used this guy to help kidnap other kids.
[00:22:46] Allie: Mm-hmm.
[00:22:47] Dann: Yep. Yeah. This is a big well-known case. Acting on instructions from Parnell Murphy. Passed out gospel tracks to boys walking home from school that day and after spotting strainer, [00:23:00] claimed to be a church representative seeking donations.
[00:23:03] Dann: stainer
[00:23:04] Dann: later claimed that Murphy asked him if his mother would be willing to donate any items to the church. When the boy replied that she would, Murphy then asked Stainer where he lived and if he would be willing to take Murphy to his home. After Stainer agreed, a white Buick driven by Parnell, pulled up and strainer willingly climbed into the car with Murphy Parnell, then drove a confused strain.
[00:23:30] Dann: To his cabin and nearby Cathy's Valley instead. Unbeknownst to Stainer, Parnell's Cabin was located only several hundred feet from his maternal grandmother's residence. Parnell molested strainer the first night at the cabin.
[00:23:47] Allie: Wait, so he lived next to his grandmother on the 
[00:23:54] Dann: mm-hmm. . Yeah. And the, and then the cabin itself was only like, I think it said, they said like [00:24:00] 30 miles away from his actual home.
[00:24:02] Dann: So it wasn't that far.
[00:24:04] Dann: Parnell molested strainer. The first night at the cabin. Parnell began, began raping strainer 13 days later on December 17th, 1972. After strainer told Parnell many times during the first week that he wanted to go home. Parnell told strainer that he had been granted legal custody of the boy because his parents could not afford so many children and that they did not want him anymore.
[00:24:30] Dann: So sad. Parnell began calling the boy Dennis Gregory Parnell, retaining Strayer's real middle name, and his real birthdate when enrolling him in various schools. Over the next several years, Parnell passed himself off as Strayer's father, and the two moved frequently around California. Living in locations including Santa Rosa and Comp Compi.
[00:24:58] Dann: Looks like that's what, how you say,[00:25:00] 
[00:25:01] Dann: Parnell allowed strainer to begin drinking at a young age and to come and go virtually as he pleased. Parnell had also moved from one menial job to another, and some of his work required travel and leaving strainer unguarded, causing an adult strainer to remark. He could have easily used these absences as an opportunity to flee, but was unaware how to summon help.
[00:25:27] Allie: So then he was good to this kid.
[00:25:29] Dann: Well, besides the
[00:25:31] Allie: the whole kid. well in the beginning, right? Yeah. It wasn't continuous. Right.
that I'm not a hundred percent sure on, but it seems like he was so like, messed up from the experience that he was, he was able to be the
[00:25:42] Allie: the assumption that this is a good person who's trying to take care of me.
[00:25:44] Dann: Yeah, he was so messed up in the head. Unfortunately, one of the few positive aspects of Strayer's life with Parnell was the dog he had received as a gift from him, a Manchester Terrier that he named Queenie.
[00:25:57] Allie: Aw.
[00:25:58] Dann: The dog had been given to Parnell by [00:26:00] his mother, who was not aware of Strayer's existence during the period when he was living with him for a period of 18 months.
[00:26:07] Dann: A woman named Barbara. Barbara Barbara Mathis lived with Parnell and strainer according to Stainer Mathis, along with Parnell raped him on nine separate occasions at the young age of nine.
[00:26:22] Allie: Okay? Even if it's not a continuous thing, it happened enough to the point where it was not 
[00:26:27] Dann: in
[00:26:27] Dann: 1975 on Parnell's instructions Mathius.
[00:26:32] Dann: Tried to lure another young boy who was in the Santa Rosa Boys Club with strainer into Parnell's car. The attempt was unsuccessful. Mathius later claimed to have been completely unaware that Dennis had been kidnapped. And Dennis's, what's his face?
[00:26:49] Allie: The younger boy?
[00:26:50] Dann: Yeah, the other one that they already got.
so as Stainer entered puberty, Parnell began to look for a younger kid. Kidnapped, so he was [00:27:00] about to discard him. Parnell had used strainer to attempt to kidnap children on prior occasions, but all the kidnapping attempts were unsuccessful. This caused Parnell to believe that. Strainer lacked the means to be an accomplice.
[00:27:16] Dann: Strainer revealed later that he had intentionally sabotaged these fails kidnappings. On February 14th, 1980, Parnell and a teenage friend of strainer named Randall Sean Poorman, kidnapped five year old Timmy White and Yu Yuki, motivated in part by the young boys distress strainers decide to return the boy to his parents.
[00:27:40] Dann: On March 1st, 1980, while Parnell was away at his night security job, strainer left with white and hitchhiked into Yuki.
[00:27:51] Dann: After they were unable to locate White Town, they went to the police station. By Daybreak on March 2nd, 1980, Parnell had been [00:28:00] arrested on suspicion of abduction of abducting, both boys.
[00:28:04] Dann: When the police checked into his background, they found a previous sodomy conviction from 1951. Both children were re were reunited with their families that day. In 1981, Parnell was. And convicted of kidnapping White and Stainer in two separate trials. He was sentenced to seven years, but was paroled after serving five
[00:28:29] Allie: And when was this? What year was 
[00:28:32] Dann: 1981?
[00:28:33] Allie: So 1981 to 1986, he was in jail. And kidnapping 
[00:28:38] Dann: Mm-hmm. Parnell was not charged with numerous sexual assaults on Stainer. And other boys, because most of them occurred outside the jurisdiction of the Merced County prosecutor, or were by then outside of the Statue of Limitations.
[00:28:56] Dann: The Mendo, Shino County prosecutors, acting [00:29:00] almost entirely alone, decided not to prosecute Parnell for the sexual assaults that occurred in their jurisdiction. Murphy for helping kidnap strainer and poorman for helping kidnap white were convicted of lesser charges. Both claimed they knew nothing of the sexual assaults of strainer.
[00:29:18] Dann: Matthews was never arrested. Stainer remembered the kindness Uncle Murphy had shown him in the first week of captivity. While they were both under the influence of parnell's manipulation and he believed that Murphy was as much parnell's victim as he and Timmy.
[00:29:35] Dann: Strain's, kidnapping and its aftermath.
[00:29:38] Dann: Prompted California lawmakers to change state laws to allow consecutive prison terms in similar abduction cases. After returning to his family strainer, had trouble adjusting to a more cons, more structured household as he had been allowed to smoke, drink, and do as he please when he lived with par. [00:30:00] In an interview with Newsweek shortly after his escape, strainer said, I returned home as a almost a grown man, and yet my parents saw me at first as their seven year old, after they stopped trying to teach me the fundamentals all over again.
[00:30:17] Dann: It got better, but they, but why doesn't my dad hook me anymore? Everyone, everything has changed. Some, sometimes I blame myself. I don't know. If I should have come home, would I have been better off if I didn't? Strainer underwent brief counseling but never sought additional treatment. He also refused to disclose all the details of the sexual abuse he adored.
[00:30:42] Dann: In a 2007 interview, stainer sister said her brother did not seek counseling because their father said Stainer didn't need any. She added, he got on with his life, but he was pretty messed up. He was bullied by other children at school for being [00:31:00] molested and eventually dropped out. Strainer began to drink frequently and was eventually kicked outta the family home.
[00:31:05] Allie: His relationship with his father remained strained. and this is his actual
[00:31:10] Dann: family? Yeah. This is actual family.
[00:31:13] Dann: In 1985, he married 17 year old Jody Edmondson. They had two kids. He joined the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints before he died.
[00:31:24] Allie: Wasn't that another cult went over?
I don't know if they're a cult.
[00:31:29] Dann: Cult
[00:31:30] Allie: talked about it, but I, I don't remember if that one was one 
[00:31:32] Dann: of
[00:31:32] Dann: the Yeah. The Church of Latter Day Saints is like the people that go door to door. What are they called?
[00:31:39] Dann: Jehovah's Witness? Yeah.
[00:31:41] Dann: On September 16th, 1989. One full, almost one full year before I was born, Strayer sustained fatal head injuries while on his way home from work when his motorcycle collided with a car in a hit and run accident.
[00:31:58] Dann: The alleged driver [00:32:00] of the car was later identified by witnesses, and 500 people attended his funeral at which 14 year old Timmy White, whom he helped rescue, was a pulp bear, which I thought was.
[00:32:12] Dann: cute. Yeah.
[00:32:14] Dann: So, like I said before, there's been a lot of media adaptations of this story cuz it's a very well known story.
[00:32:23] Allie: lot of, like the crime shows and stuff cover this to an extent 
[00:32:28] Dann: yeah, 
[00:32:29] Allie: they'll make up their own cases surrounding this style of
[00:32:33] Dann: connection. And I'll, I'll, I'm gonna about to go over it, but a lot of like, like fictional TV shows like.
[00:32:40] Dann: They'll like, like when they do the rip from the headlines episode, have done stuff based on this.
[00:32:45] Dann: Yeah. So in the early 19, or in early 1989. In 1989, a television miniseries. Based on this experience. I know my first name is Stephen, also known as the missing years [00:33:00] was produced. Stephen taking a leave of absence from his job, acting as an advisor for,
[00:33:05] Dann: This production and he had a non-speaking part playing one of the two policemen who escorted 14 year old Steven through the crowds to his waiting family on his return to his Merc at home.
[00:33:18] Dann: Although pleased with the dramatization strainer did complain that it depicted him as a somewhat obnoxious, rude person, especially towards his parents, sometimes something he refuted while publicizing the mini series in the spring of 1989. this two port miniseries was first broadcast in May, may of 1989. the production, received a bunch of awards, blah, blah, blah. The storyline in the show 9 1 1 episode new beginnings was loosely based on this case as well.
[00:33:48] Allie: I definitely 
[00:33:49] Dann: saw
[00:33:49] Dann: that. Yeah, I think I did too. I think I can remember this episode. in April, 2022, Hulu released a limited true crime docu-series captive audience, a real American horror [00:34:00] story following the life of Stainer and his family and how the kidnapping impacted their lives.
[00:34:05] Allie: You'll have to send me that one again cause I'll definitely watch.
[00:34:08] Dann: that. Yeah. Particular attention was paid to how the events impacted the life of Carrie Stainer, which is his brother that killed people.
[00:34:16] Allie: Yeah. What I would be is.
[00:34:19] Allie: and I don't know if you read it yet, but did the brother start killing people after the brother, after his brother was returned to the family from the kidnapping? Like did that trigger him to kill people?
[00:34:31] Dann: Well, I did not look into the brother, cuz that's the one, another one I want to cover. Yeah. So it was not in anything I included here.
[00:34:40] Allie: any like
[00:34:40] Dann: mm-hmm. No.
[00:34:42] Allie: I I'm wondering if that's what triggered him to start he had that 
[00:34:46] Dann: But I definitely want.
[00:34:47] Allie: as his brother being kidnapped when 
[00:34:49] Dann: maybe, but I definitely wanna watch the Hulu series because that focuses more on the brother.
[00:34:55] Allie: Okay.
[00:34:57] Dann: So, so yeah. So that's, the story [00:35:00] of Steven Gregory Stainer.
[00:35:02] Allie: I definitely wanna 
[00:35:04] Dann: Mm-hmm. , 
[00:35:05] Allie: It's just so weird because it like brainwashed the kid into thinking that he 
[00:35:11] Dann: mm-hmm.
[00:35:11] Allie: and then helping
[00:35:14] Dann: and
[00:35:14] Allie: man kidnap other people.
[00:35:16] Dann: Yeah, I know. It's just when you're Oh, it's backwards, . Yeah. Like that's just scary how like manipulative people can be.
[00:35:27] Allie: Yeah. And how susceptible people are to believing that type of 
[00:35:31] Dann: type of thing
[00:35:31] Dann: Mm-hmm. 
[00:35:33] Allie: like that one.
[00:35:34] Dann: It was good. It was a lot. It was a little depressing, but
[00:35:38] Allie: it's an interesting story though. okay, so mine's also kind of a depressing story, but it's a fa No, that's not a depressing It's just an interesting, like, Ooh, 
[00:35:51] Dann: okay.
[00:35:53] Allie: I found a conspiracy. No, it's January, February. It's wintertime. I'm not sure but it's [00:36:00] winter. So I wanted to keep like a cold 
[00:36:03] Dann: uhhuh , a cold conspiracy. Ooh,
[00:36:05] Allie: So, this is that the Nazis had a secret base 
[00:36:10] Dann: think I've heard this
[00:36:11] Allie: before. I didn't hear it until I got researched it, so I was like,
[00:36:14] Dann: I mean, I haven't looked into it, but I've definitely heard of this one.
[00:36:17] Allie: I tried to like research. Very uncommon. Mm-hmm. , conspiracies to find things that they are not like the moon landing or nine 11, or like the mainstream conspiracies.
[00:36:28] Dann: That one's cool. I'm ready. Hit me. Hi. Hit me with them.
[00:36:31] Allie: So.
[00:36:32] Allie: the theory is that the Nazis had a secret base in the Arctic. it's important to note that this is a theory. There's like literally zero
[00:36:41] Dann: backwards.
[00:36:41] Allie: that back up any of this. This is just strictly
[00:36:44] Dann: athe. What
so the origin of the theory is that the Nazis. based in the Arctic was believed to originate in the late 1940s when rumors began to circulate that the Nazis had fled to the Arctic after their defeat in World War ii.[00:37:00] 
[00:37:00] Allie: The rumors were fu fueled by reports of mysterious planes and ships being seen in that region, and alleged sightings of Nazi officials on the the theory gained even more traction in the late 1970s when Ian Fleming claimed that the Nazis had built a secret base in the Arctic, known as Base two 11.
[00:37:22] Allie: Now, , it's important to note that Ian Fleming is also a British journalist and a writer who is best known for creating the character James Bond. He is a storyteller by nature,
[00:37:36] Dann: That's so
[00:37:37] Allie: And also after this, he became a novelist. After his career in journalism, he became a novelist. 
[00:37:46] Dann: Yeah. Big proponent of
[00:37:47] Allie: he's a storyteller.
[00:37:50] Dann: he's a good fiction writer.
but many did take his. Story or theory as credible because he was such a well-known and respected [00:38:00] novelist and journalist. So base two 11 was act was what they called the Secret base that was allegedly built by Nazis in the Arctic. Fleming claimed that the Nazis had built the secret base in order to develop and advance technologies and weapons.
[00:38:18] Allie: According to Fleming, base two 11 was still in operation at the time of his writings, and several expeditions to the continent had found no evidence of any human habitation, let alone a Nazi base. the hearth, weather conditions and lack of resources in the region also make it highly unlikely that the Nazis could have survived there for any extended period of 
[00:38:42] Dann: It's Cold. 
[00:38:43] Allie: It's fucking cold. , you die.
[00:38:46] Dann: it's cold.
[00:38:47] Allie: What are you gonna eat? Because your food's in the freezer already 
[00:38:50] Dann: Penguins, feuds in the freezer already.
[00:38:54] Allie: So the explanation behind the theory, 
[00:38:57] Dann: that was Made me
[00:38:59] Allie: This is so why do [00:39:00] people continue to believe the theory of a Nazi base in the Arctic? There are very few possible explanations. First of all, the mysterious disappearance of several high ranking Nazi officials, including Adolf Hitler, who were never captured after the war. There are a few theories as to what had happened to Hitler after the war. Some people,
[00:39:23] Allie: Assumed he fled to the Arctic. in order to they capture and continue the, their operations and secret. Other people believe that he actually died in Berlin, either by his own hand or the hand of Allied forces. so another theory of what happened to them. a fascination, mysterious, fast.
[00:39:43] Allie: It's just a fascination with the mysterious of the unknown. A secret Nazi base hidden away in the frozen wilderness of the Arctic is an intriguing and mysterious concept that had captured the imagination of many people. Also, a desire to. [00:40:00] Than a grand conspiracy. Some people may draw to the theory of the Nazi base in the Arctic because it fits into the larger narrative of secret organizations and global conspiracies, aka you have, Illuminati.
[00:40:13] Allie: Yeah, you've got church Scientology, all unknown organizations. You're fucking Mason stuff.
[00:40:19] Dann: Earths
[00:40:22] Allie: So then
[00:40:22] Dann: The holes in the middle of the earth. Yeah. That are apparently in 
[00:40:25] Allie: There's a lot of stuff I really wanna, I think my next one, I. I am working on it, but I wanna cover the Illuminati because there's so many different components.
[00:40:36] Allie: That one's gonna take a 
[00:40:37] Dann: That's a big one. 
[00:40:38] Allie: Yeah, I think that might have to be a joint but I think that would be a fun one. So despite the widespread belief of this theory, there's no concrete evidence to support the claim of the Nazis that had a secret base in the Arctic. Several expeditions to the continent have found no human evidence or habitation, let alone a Nazi.
[00:40:59] Allie: And [00:41:00] like I said before, harsh weather conditions and lack of resources in the region made it highly and unlikely that any Nazis could have survived there for the extended period of time. The theory of the Nazi based in the Arctic was fascinating, mysterious concept that captivated the imaginations of many people for decades.
[00:41:16] Allie: However, it is important to remember that this is a theory that is not supported by any concrete 
[00:41:24] Dann: really
[00:41:26] Allie: but what's fascinating to me, Is this particular theory is that they fled to the 
[00:41:34] Dann: Mm. 
[00:41:35] Allie: to create a, there's millions of places in the world they could've fled to. Grant,
[00:41:39] Dann: follow them there.
[00:41:40] Dann: Pamphlet. Yeah.
[00:41:40] Allie: but you can't fucking survive.
[00:41:43] Allie: Like, what? What did there, they can't power their computers to do all this research and stuff. There is no electricity. So like I just, I don't even think they have.
[00:41:53] Allie: Besides Santa Claus, I don't really think they have their own, 
[00:41:57] Dann: have all the elves running on treadmills to generate [00:42:00] electricity, I 
[00:42:00] Allie: So like, I don't know where these people with the mentality think that these people are able to plug in and do their research in this, 
[00:42:07] Dann: Well, I think they always go with Antarctica cuz it's
[00:42:11] Dann: no one's, no one's gonna investigate it cuz no one's gonna go
[00:42:15] Allie: nobody can go there.
[00:42:16] Allie: There's no energy. so I don't know. It it very badly. Now. I did see, some people thought that they also fled to like South Africa.
[00:42:26] Dann: I think that's the most common theory.
[00:42:28] Allie: Yeah. But for another base. But like, I think the most common theory, and I, it's something that I might research a little bit more, was there is a big theory that he did kill himself afterwards and stuff.
[00:42:38] Allie: And he took his wife in, 
[00:42:40] Dann: like the bunker,
[00:42:40] Allie: them. Yes. So, but this one's very short because like I said, it's a theory. but I was just like, some of the stuff like.
[00:42:52] Allie: Why are you gonna believe a man who literally writes stories for a living? Second of all,
[00:42:58] Dann: very convincing
[00:42:59] Allie: base two, [00:43:00] like I, I tried to figure it out, but where did the name Base two 11 come from?
[00:43:04] Allie: Like, cuz that if there's no existing base, like it's a, it's definitely a name that you made up. But where did that come from? Like, why'd you, bay two 11 is so weird. It's a random number. I'm
[00:43:15] Dann: sure he just, he just threw a, a dart like
[00:43:18] Allie: just thought it was really like, fascinating that he also created James Bond.
[00:43:22] Dann: That is cool.
[00:43:23] Dann: Like, it's, it's weird. It's like a, such a, a random fact, but like
[00:43:27] Allie: But it's like the main fact to support any of this because it's like he tells stories for a living.
[00:43:33] Dann: Like that would be your first, your first proof
[00:43:35] Allie: but yet he's so credible.
[00:43:37] Dann: Yeah. , 
[00:43:38] Allie: I
[00:43:39] Allie: don't know. I just thought it is very short. I just thought it was a really interesting one.
I tried to do another one that was much longer and it's also very popular. It's going to be my next story.
[00:43:51] Allie: but I needed so much more time than I gave myself to research that one, because they are so many different branches to that [00:44:00] conspiracy. I've already told you what it was, but.
[00:44:02] Allie: That's,
[00:44:03] Dann: yeah, I, I had, I was gonna do a different one too tonight. And I real, I opened my Google Doc and I was like, I didn't fucking do anything for this
[00:44:11] Allie: I
[00:44:11] Dann: like, I'm not ready for this one. Yeah. So thankfully I, thankfully I had one prepared. I had a
[00:44:15] Allie: Yeah. Well, I have now my other one that's halfway done. We're definitely, I think we definitely, at this point, we have these, we have two recorded one's already posted.
[00:44:27] Allie: come this time that this one's coming out. So then we have one where we have to record with our next guest.
[00:44:35] Allie: Mm-hmm. . That'll be the first one that gets done. so I think right now, and then we are definitely gonna be recording at least one at the Mag Fest, has already
