In the long run, it will be better for Shasta to know that she helped ensure this monster got what he deserved.
Prayers that Shasta will have the strength for this. You're right, death is too easy but it's needed.
this man should be put in a large cage with a hungry Grizzly bear
I hope his punishment will be LOOOONG and extremely torturous!
But where is your compassion? Probably had a tough childhood. Mitigating circumstances. His daddy probably beat em. Can't we all forgive and forget?
Fry the bastard slow and long. Make it hurt a long time.
IMPORTANT UPDATE to this story (Go, Shasta!!):

Shasta Groene helps investigators solve additional missing children cases
06:32 PM PST on Wednesday, March 1, 2006
The murder of two California children took place during the time Joseph Duncan was on probation.
Now, Steve Groene, the father of abduction victim Shasta Groene says his daughter may have to testify in criminal proceedings in California and an additional trial in Seattle.
KREM 2 News has learned it was nine-year-old Shasta who lead authorities to solve other missing children cases.
Steve Groene says alleged kidnapper and murderer Joseph Duncan told his daughter about the cases while he allegedly held her captive.
“Shasta basically told them right when they interviewed her when she was first found he had told her about killing a boy in California,” Groene said.
That boy was Anthony Martinez.
In 1997 the ten year old boy was abducted by knife point in front of his Beaumont home.
Authorities found his body 90 miles away from the place he was last seen. The only evidence was a partial-thumb print on a piece of duct tape. After Duncan's arrest F.B.I agents received a court order to take full hand prints of Duncan.
“If he hadn't told Shasta it would have never been link him to that and get the full hand prints,” Groene said. “He could have gotten away with that in so many ways he had for ten years.”
Shasta statements to investigators also help crack a cold case in which authorities say Duncan was living near the motel during his probation. Their skeletal remains were later found in Bothell, Washington.
Sources close to the investigation has confirmed these details with KREM 2 News.
Duncan will face charges for these crimes after the murder and kidnapping trial in Kootenai County is complete.
The police suspect Duncan murdered others, too. Usually, they don't start with murders as horrific as this -- they work up to it with other killings.
