Steven Bernard McClendon was a 2-year-old boy murdered on October 8, 1974, in Fort Worth, Texas. He was one of five members of the McClendon family killed in their Riverside Village apartment during an attack by 26-year-old Kenneth Granviel, a family acquaintance and convicted rapist. Steven was stabbed multiple times and left in a closet; Natasha, Martha’s 2-year-old daughter, was also fatally stabbed.

The adult women were reported killed by stabbing or strangulation. Two Mexican nationals were initially wrongfully arrested; Granviel became a suspect months later after confessing during questioning following his arrest for other violent offenses in February 1975. Kenneth Granviel was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death; he was executed on February 27, 1996.

Does anyone have memories of the Riverside Village complex or the McClendon family that could shed light on that night?
