A newly discovered videotape shows Shasta Groene and her alleged abductor at a store hours before she was rescued, and an officer said Tuesday it looks as if the 8-year-old girl was trying to get someone to recognize her.
Authorities said they had found human remains that might be her missing 9-year-old brother, Dylan.
Dylan and Shasta had been missing since May 16, when the bound and bludgeoned bodies of their mother, older brother and mother's boyfriend were found at their rural home near here. Early Saturday, employees and customers spotted Shasta eating breakfast with Joseph Edward Duncan III, a violent sexual predator, at a Denny's restaurant in Coeur d'Alene.
Authorities were reviewing security camera videotape that showed Shasta and Duncan at a gas station and convenience store Friday evening in Kellogg, about 40 road miles east of Coeur d'Alene.
Kootenai County Sheriff's Capt. Ben. Wolfinger said Tuesday that from his study of the videotape it appeared Shasta was ``wanting to be recognized by the patrons there in the store.''
``In the small takes I saw out of that surveillance video, she's walking around, stopping, looking right at the faces of the different patrons there,'' Wolfinger said on ABC's ``Good Morning America.''

IMHO, I do not believe that the founding father's would have included the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment in the Bill of Rights if they had realized that it would prevent pedophile murderers from being drawn, hung and quartered.
No punishment is too severe for these scum.
If he took her to Montana and came back to Cd'A, that's at least twice the bastard drove her past her house near the interstate - with crime scene tape and sheriff cars out front.
I agree, but she was probably too frightened to take a chance and ask for help... poor thing.
Duncan wont talk. Strap this turd in a dentists chair and give me a drill and he would talk.
Its too bad we cant lynch people like this. Would it be a deterrent?,. I dont know , and I dont care, its what he deserves.
If she saw pictures of herself posted then maybe she thought they might have a clue. Thankfully someone did.
"Duncan wont talk. Strap this turd in a dentists chair and give me a drill and he would talk."
I've only got a 3/4" inch drill. Will that help?
I'll tell you what - we need to get rid of that "released on good behavior" crap! WHY do we even HAVE that???? That would be a good bill for our representatives to take up.
What does good behavior mean for a child molestor? That he didn't molest any children while in prison?
It may be time to seriously consider the death penalty for child rapists -- not 10 or 15 years down the road, but now, right now! Why do we insist on keeping these mutants alive and a lingering threat to our children? And a disgusting presence in our society? It is time to start cleaning things up, and I can't think of a better place to start than with these unredeemable child predators!
The poor girl should have "accidentally" locked herself in the bathroom. Then she could have shouted through the locked door.
The perv might have gotten away, though. What else could she have done, suggestions anyone?
Wholeheartedly agree.
"Time to get Medieval on his a$$" and all the other incurable pedophiles out there.
These cretins can NOT be rehabilitated, they need to be isolated (preferably on a leaky barge just outside the 3 mile limit) or eliminated
Posters of her were everywhere. No doubt she saw them herself.
