Per Fox News...
Oh No.
found where?
they ought to take every sex abuser, and pay mexico to imprison them someplace remote.
and leave them there.
Must have turned the perp.
How horribly tragic. I was hoping that somehow he had survived. And I hope the name of that judge is posted who released Duncan on such small bail.
That poor little boy...:( And now Shasta is alone. I haven't followed this too closely (it's a little too much for me) so I don't know, but are there any other relatives that have or will take her in?
Prayers for the family.
She's with her father. The man killed when she was kidnapped was the mother's boyfriend.
Her father has her now.
I'd say they have their man.
Yes. I read on Fox News that the judge said he didn't know about Duncan's past. Well, he should have made it his business to know.
Why waste the damn money.
Just hang the SOB's on first conviction.
Start with the identified leadership of NAMBLA. Work your way up from there.
It will become an almost unheard of crime overnight.
Wish we could reopen Devil's Island?
Judge who set bail for suspect not sure if he knew background
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. -- The judge who set bail for the Fargo, N.D., man charged with kidnapping a girl in Idaho said Sunday he barely remembers the case and isn't sure if he knew then that the man was a registered Level 3 sex offender.
Becker County District Judge Thomas Schroeder told KSTP-TV of the Twin Cities that the details of Joseph Edward Duncan III's bail hearing were just coming back to him.
"You hear so many of these, and apparently I did set the bail in this matter," Schroeder said.
Schroeder set Duncan's bail at $15,000. Duncan made bail and later skipped out.
"Usually on a bail hearing you have limited information, and so you set it in an amount that you think is appropriate," the judge said.

Becker County District Judge Thomas Schroeder, who had set bail at $15,000 despite prosecutors' request that it be $25,000, said Sunday that he barely remembers the case and isn't sure if he knew then that Joseph Edward Duncan III was a registered Level 3 sex offender.
"Usually on a bail hearing you have limited information, and so you set it in an amount that you think is appropriate," the judge said. He said if he had known Duncan's record, he would have set it high enough that Duncan would not have gone free.
Does Idaho have the death penalty?
damn damn damn
According to DICK Turbin and the msm, we already have.
Her natural father is with her now. He was divorced from Shasta's mother, I believe.
It's his business to "know" before he grants bail. Either the judge didn't care enough to ask or someone covered up "Duncan's past." The judge has an obligation to resign or explain why he didn't know. I wish we could get full details on every judge who lets vicious criminals out without proper restrictions.
So sad.
I wonder why he murdered Dylan and not Shasta.
I'm glad that she's been reunited with her father. Poor little girl. She's got a hard road ahead of her.
