Rebecca Paige Stay was 6 years old when she was killed on July 9, 2014, in Spring, Texas. She was one of six family members murdered in an attack carried out by Ronald Lee Haskell, who traveled from California and used a FedEx deliveryman disguise to gain entry to the Stay family home. Once inside he held the children at gunpoint and, when the parents Stephen Stay and Katie Stay arrived, shot each family member execution-style, including Rebecca and her siblings Bryan (13), Emily (9), Rebecca (7) and Zach (4).

Cassidy Stay, then 15, survived by playing dead. Haskell was arrested after a four-hour standoff and later charged with capital murder. His defense argued he suffered severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, but a jury rejected the insanity defense and found him guilty of capital murder. He was sentenced to death in 2019. The killings devastated the family and the community.

If anyone knew the Stay family or has information about the days leading up to July 9, 2014, please share what you remember.
