The condition of Dylan Groene's remains when they were found at a remote campsite in northern Idaho...
Duncan cremated Dylan's remains, painstakingly collected the ashes from the site, and disposed of them at a second site, in the nearby creek, where they would be dispersed and very difficult to find. Someday we will be able to tell the story about the recovery and identification of these remains, which will give the credit to the FBI and local investigators that they deserve. Duncan obviously did not want the remains ever to be found, and the investigative team succeeded in spite of the very high odds stacked against them...

Duncan had a relationship with a married woman.
After spending nearly half his life in prison — he was 17 when he was arrested in 1980 and subsequently convicted — Duncan was released on parole in 1994. The documents detail a slow spiral out of control over the three years he was out of prison.
He went from being called a "very pleasant, bright, verbal, open young man" who had "done a lot of work on himself" to being described by his community corrections officer as a liar given to rationalizations and "distorted thinking" that made it impossible for him to accept treatment, according to the documents.
During that time, he smoked marijuana, handled a gun in violation of his parole, became sexually involved with his male community sponsor and had a relationship with a married woman who was "helping him explore his feminine side by helping him with transsexual fantasies." That woman had two young children with whom Duncan apparently was left alone, in violation of the conditions of his parole, according to the documents.
I read that they were able to locate the remains of the body because of GPS system in stolen Jeep. Wouldn't he have driven the Jeep into the town or does the GPS record past locations?
