Tasia Stephens and William Stephens Wiki, Biography, Age, Spouse, Height, Weight, Net Worth, Fast Facts

William Stephens, 45, and Tasia Stephens, 43, had been married for 15 years. In Novato, California, they successfully operated hair salons and movie stores. However, the couple was adamant about adopting a child. When Tracy Medeiros was 17 years old and living in Massachusetts, she became pregnant and decided to put her child up for adoption because her boyfriend had broken up with her and she lacked the resources to care for a child at the time. The Stephens’ distant cousin’s ex-boyfriend introduced them to Tracy at that point.

The pregnant girl and Tasia and William Stephens hit it off, and she spent her first three trimesters at a home for young mothers in the nearby Sonoma County town of Santa Rosa. The couple were present at the baby’s birth and helped the expectant mother and baby choose Travis as the baby’s name. The Stephens even covered all of Tracy’s travel and medical expenses. The Stephenses adopted the baby even though the legal requirements of the adoption procedure were delayed due to a backlog of cases.

Towards the end of 1988, Tracy intended to spend the holidays with her biological son. So when Novato police contacted her to inform her that the Stephenses had been found shot in her bed on December 14, 1988, it was a devastating shock. But the baby was safe and sound, despite being hungry and alone for around 24 hours, according to law enforcement professionals. After hearing the news, Tracy said: “My world was completely devastated.” What am I going to do with the infant? I wondered. “I adore him, I want him to be with me”, I thought.

At first, authorities were unable to determine a motive for the double homicide. However, Yolanda Segura, the missing maid, quickly emerged as the prime suspect in light of evidence discovered at the crime scene. Further investigation led to the discovery of more evidence in the San Rafael, California, apartment that Yolanda shared with her lover. Detectives distributed flyers and advertisements asking for details about the two.

A night clerk at a motel in Daly City, San Mateo County, called police more than a week later asking about the couple’s location. Through photos shown on television, the motel employee was able to identify the couple who were staying there. Thus, on December 21, 1988, the police arrested Yolanda and her 25-year-old lover, Zohelin Díaz. A 25 caliber automatic weapon was discovered in Diaz’s hands at the time of her arrest.

Although no specific reason was given, Novato police believed that Yolanda had told Diaz that she was allegedly sexually harassed at her employers’ home. However, reports claimed that investigators assumed that Yolanda may have made up her story to hide the fact that the Stephens had fired her. They were illegal immigrants from Guatemala named Yolanda and Diaz. Consequently, the FBI was also involved in the homicide investigation, albeit indirectly. None of the defendants reportedly had criminal records. However, Díaz has already been arrested for trying to enter the nation illegally.

Despite the accused couple’s admission of innocence in court, the jury was not convinced. Yolanda received a 6-year prison sentence after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Diaz received a life sentence after being convicted of first-degree murder, but it was later claimed that he committed suicide. Yolanda is said to have been released from prison and is now unknown, however, she seems to keep her personal life a secret. A Marin County judge placed the baby in foster care after the Stephens’ murders.

Tracy petitioned for custody of Travis, but the Stephens’ family objected. Superior Court Juvenile Commissioner Sylvia Shapiro determined on January 3, 1989, that the Stephens were not Travis’s legal parents because the adoption was still pending. Tracy received custody rights from Shapiro, on the condition that she attend parenting programs and submit monthly reports to the court for evaluation of her after six months. According to rumors, Tracy worked in a state psychiatric hospital while living with her mother in Billerica, Massachusetts. She had arranged full-time childcare for Travis so she could keep working.
