Yeah, Duncan's a professional inmate
and scumbag.
Most states aren't that good. You have to know the perp's name to do a search.
Hell's bells, I don't know names!
I want to know if there are any in my area.
I want to go to my state's web sites and have names, photos & addresses right there in front of me.
The Seattle local news was all over this part of the story tonight, showing the Tacoma area home where the perp's mother lives, the area where he committed this horrible crime, which included raping the boy repeatedly, burning him with cigarettes, putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger...tho the gun was not loaded. He was considered very dangerous.
Tonight, Shasta Groene's dad was visiting relatives in Tacoma when he was notified that his daugher was found. (She asked for her daddy first thing when she was found, so she's not afraid of him and clearly he's not involved in the murder of his wife.)
Here's a wild guess: I wonder whether the Groene family had anything to do with turning in the perp back in Tacoma in 1980. Was this a revenge murder/abduction?
