Timothy Oliver Stoen (born January 16, 1938) is best known for his central role as a member of the Peoples Temple, and as an opponent to the group during a multi-year custody battle over his six-year-old son, John. Stoen's battle led to an investigation of the Peoples Temple's settlement at Jonestown, Guyana, which became internationally notorious in 1978 after 918 people—including Stoen's son—died in the settlement and on a nearby airstrip. Stoen continues to work as a deputy district attorney in Mendocino County, California, where he is assigned to the District Attorney's Fort Bragg office. ==Early life== Stoen was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.,〔Stoen, Timothy Oliver, (''SmartVote Timother Oliver Stoen election biography''. ) State of California, 1998〕 the child of religious middle-class parents from Littleton, Colorado.〔 Throughout high school and college he was a scholar, athlete and devout Christian.〔 He graduated from Wheaton College with a B.A. in Political Science.〔 Stoen graduated from Stanford Law School in 1964 and was admitted to the California bar in 1965.〔Reiterman, Tim and John Jacobs.
