Mr. Groene wouldn't have killed
his ex AND his OWN 13 yr. old
son.
By all accounts, Mrs. Groene's
boyfriend was a really nice guy,
was good to Mrs. Groene
& loved her & the kids.
This was stated by family members
right after the murders/kidnapping.
I doubt very much if the father of the Groenes had anything at all to do with this. Didn't he take a lie detector test right away?
The pervert Joseph Duncan was watching those kids and watching that house. He was stalking his prey. He came to the house equipped for mayhem and perversion.
Do the LEA know what his address was in Coeur D'Alene? Maybe he was staying at a motel. He left Fargo on May 5, and these crimes occurred in C D'A on May 11? (Not sure of the timeline).
Duncan would have had at least a few days to choose his victims and spy on them. I think he acted alone. From all reports, he was a loner. He had karate experience, and was in good physical shape. He probably went in in the early hours of the morning, took the family by surprise, tied them up one by one. Secured Dylan and Shasta in restraints in his vehicle. Went back and bludgeoned the three to death.
He had been fantasizing about such a crime for a long time. This family presented the ideal conditions.
JMHO
This is not the information that I have heard.

As a matter of fact Brenda's cousin has told us that Mr. Groene did not believe that Slade the 13 year old was his son.
If you think about it he did not quarrel with his wife about taking Slade that weekend for an early visit, just Shasta and Dylan.
