Murderer

The Resume

    (August 31, 1961- )
    Born in Merced, California
    Murdered four women in Yosemite National Park, California (1999)
    Sentenced to death (December 12, 2002)
    Brother of kidnapping victim Steven Stayner

Why he might be annoying:

    When his brother returned after being missing for seven years (1980), he complained about having to share a bedroom.
    He was arrested for possession of marijuana and methamphetamine (1997).
    He decapitated his last victim, later noting, 'I just did the most revolting thing I could possibly do.'
    He requested 'a good sized stack' of child porn as a condition for confessing. (He did not get any.)
    He said he fantasized about killing women since he was seven.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He claimed he was molested by an uncle when he was 11.
    His parents testified they neglected him because they were preoccupied with searching for Steven.
    His employers at a Yosemite lodge said he was hard working and honest.
    He confessed even though at the end he noted, 'I know they are gonna give me the death penalty.'
