Joseph E. Duncan was sentenced to death by a federal jury on August 27, 2008 for the kidnapping, of Dylan and Shasta Groene and the Murder of Dylan. Shasta and Dylan were taken after Duncan bound and bludgeoned their mother, her boyfriend, and their older brother, Slade to death. Joseph Duncan pled guilty to the federal charges. During the hearings to determine his sentence, the jury was shown letters the children had written to their father during their captivity, and a series of shocking and graphic videos documenting a sexual assault on Dylan, and Duncan hanging Dylan almost to the point of death.
Sometime after these videos were made, while Shasta watched, Dylan was shot once in the stomach, then in the head.
What these children endured is one of the worst cases I’ve ever heard. While doing some research on the case I ran across Duncan’s blog. It is a disturbing glimpse inside the mind of a pedophile and serial killer.
