Captive Audience: A Real American Horror Story

In 1972, seven-year-old Steven Stayner was kidnapped from Merced, California. He miraculously returned seven years later, but the media frenzy surrounding his story only scratched the surface of a much darker truth. As the years passed, Steven's family struggled to cope with the trauma and fame that came with his return. But the real horror story began when Steven's older brother Cary became a serial killer. This three-part true crime documentary series delves into the chilling details of their lives and how they were forever changed by one man's twisted actions. It's a cautionary tale about how truth can become stranger than fiction and how reality can be more horrifying than any Hollywood ending.
