Not only does Dr. Wachsman work in pediatrics, but he requested that Duncan be permitted to come and live with him and his wife and kids in ND. (Don't forget, ND is where another little girl disappeared from not long ago.) The judge, for once exhibiting common sense, refused the request.
Wacksman has a license in Florida (where I live), but apparently has never had a practice here. He lives and practices in ND. Other than that, I know nothing about him. Any other FReeper have more information????
Duncan was probably a sociopath, and they are good at getting others' confidence. Go see the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley" if you want to see a great portrait of a sociopath.
He apparently posed as somebody who wanted to be a Christian, overcome his demons, etc., and collected money from innocent people on this basis. However, he also obviously had a lot of support in the gay-NAMBLA sector, and I don't think these people were unaware of his tastes or what he was doing.
My feeling is still that they should all be put to death immediately after conviction. I have 3 kids myself, and I have a brother who is a year younger with whom I was very close - we were almost psychic twins - when I was a kid, and I can't imagine the horror that pair of little kids went through. It literally makes me wake up sweating at night, because apparently he would torture one of them to make the other do something. Duncan should have been dead long ago, and I hope he is put to death now.
