Joseph Duncan has confessed to killing three children in Washington and California in 1996 and '97, according to federal court documents filed this morning.
The documents also reveal that Shasta Groene of Coeur d'Alene saw Duncan abuse and murder her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, in 2005. Federal prosecutors today filed the notice of intent to seek the death penalty for Dylan’s murder.
That Shasta witnessed her brother’s murder by torture, and Duncan’s confessions to the other killings, were listed as aggravating factors warranting the death penalty.
Duncan was charged in federal court last week for his crimes against the Groene children. The Riverside (Calif.) District Attorney’s Office also charged Duncan last week with the 1997 murder of 10-year-old Anthony Martinez.
Duncan has confessed to killing Martinez and to the murders of two Seattle-area girls, according to federal prosecutors. Sammiejo White, 11, and her sister, 9-year-old Carmen Cubias disappeared on July 6, 1996, after leaving a Bothell, Wash., motel.
With Tuesday’s filing, both federal prosecutors and Riverside authorities are seeking the death penalty for the convicted killer.

Execution by baseball bat........wood, not aluminum.........they don't feel right...........
Scared me. I thought the RATS were already smearing Duncan Hunter.
It'd be an interesting study to find out what could turn a human being into something like Duncan. What a pity there are anti-vivisection laws...
Completely agree. This girl is going to have a hard enough time getting on with her life, she certainly shouldn't have to testify in a court if not absolutely necessary.
I've been following the case also, I guess this proves that some people are just plain evil.
I live in Idaho. The entire case started for me the day my cell phone went off giving me the amber alert. I live in Boise, an 8 hour drive from Coeur d'Alene but I still got the amber alert (think it went out state wide). My wife grew up in Coeur d'Alene though. We were up there last summer to visit her father in law.
As we were driving out to Cataldo to see the Old Mission we passed the house. It was still taped up with police tape. The house is literally a stone throw from the freeway. Not only is it that close, it is also pretty much the only house in that field between hills. Anyone driving by would have or could have seen things suspicious going on. The guy was casing the house and feeding the dog steak for weeks before.
Then of course that rat bastard shows up at Denny's(I think it was) in Coeur d'Alene with Shasta basically rubbing it in the public's face.
Idaho death penalty is leathal injection or firing squad. Both of em are too good for this cretin.
I don't know what I was thinking when I first read the title, but I thought it was a bout Duncan Hunter and perhaps the death penalty....heck I don't know what is wrong with me...lol.
Tea mine too.
Well as long as I'm here....
"Vote Duncan Hunter for President 2008, he hasn't murdered anyone"

Thank You
LOL...I think that's a normal reaction here at FR. Duncan is associated with Hunter now.
The kids' picture was all over the place - every gas station and restaurant I stopped at had a photocopy. Duncan is lucky the cops got to him before the locals did.
Did you happen to catch this character's blog before it was deleted? Horrifying, and even worse to contemplate that he'd already killed three kids when he was writing that it was all society's fault. I don't think we're going to hear a great deal of the argument that executing this guy is going to make us as bad as he is. That simply isn't possible.
Gut shoot that sick b@st@rd and let him die of peritonitis.
Good, but not positive enough. How about "Vote Duncan Hunter for President, he hasn't murdered anyone that we know of." I like the flow...
This is the most horrendous crime by an individual that I have seen in my 11 years of law enforcement and I have seen a few.
The details are absolutely sickening and all we can do is pray for this young girl. Shasta and her father were both baptized recently and I hope our prayers, well wishes, family, and most of all God can bring peace to them.
How any person cannot support the death penalty for this vile creature (who videotaped himself doing sick things by the way) is beyond me.
Shasta and her father were both baptized recently and I hope our prayers, well wishes, family, and most of all God can bring peace to them.
Amen
Amusingly enough, I thought this really was a Hunter thread for a split second...
