Girl was missing from Idaho, found alive

[HoHoeHeaux]

It's time to reform sex offender laws. There is no telling what these children have suffered at the hands of this creep. Can you imagine the hell they have been through? And he should have been locked away forever long ago. Look at his rap sheet! God I am sick.

I was watching TV, reading here on FR, thought it was news...In the future, I'll wait. Since I post too many threads as it is....

[cripplecreek]

It's called speculation. You might want to look it up and while you're at it look around.

[tutstar]

Ditto that!!!

They ought to be molested by elephants then trampled to death!!!!!!

headline should now read registered sex offender arrested:

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - An 8-year-old girl who disappeared with her brother six weeks ago from a home where family members were bludgeoned to death was found Saturday at a Denny's restaurant in the same town.

The girl's 9-year-old brother, Dylan, had not been found, Kootenai County Sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. He said Joseph Edward Duncan III, a registered sex offender from Fargo, N.D., had been arrested and charged with kidnapping.

Duncan was arrested without incident and was being held without bond, Wolfinger said. He said the suspect had an outstanding warrant for failing to register as a sex offender and had a history of rape.

Shasta was being interviewed by investigators, and Wolfinger said he had no information on where she had been held or where her brother may be.

Dylan and Shasta Groene had been missing since at least May 16, when sheriff's deputies responded to their rural home after a neighbor reported that dogs were barking and the door of one vehicle was open but no one was in sight.

The deputies found the bound bodies of Brenda Groene, 40, Slade Groene, 13, and Mark McKenzie, 37. The victims were bound and then bludgeoned to death.

FBI agents and local officers interviewed hundreds of people, searched through 800 tons of animal carcasses and other trash and devoted thousands of hours to the search.

More than 2,000 tips flowed in, with people offering theories that ranged from alien abduction to a motorcycle gang war, since the children's biological father, Steven Groene, owns a Harley-Davidson.

Brenda Groene and Mark McKenzie had marijuana and methamphetamine in their bodies at the time of their deaths, according to autopsies.

I have no tolerance for child molesters. They despise the beauty and innocence of children, and do everything they can to make a perversion of the child's life. They are humanity's greatest scourge.

Here's the rap sheet on the perp:

Joseph E. Duncan III

That same evening Duncan abducted a 14 year-old boy. The boy had been walking in Duncan's neighborhood. Duncan sexually assaulted the boy two times at gun point. He was arrested shortly after the incident.

I just heard Tony Snow say that this sex offender reported to the authorities just a couple weeks ago, apparently after he committed these crimes.

So what good does knowing their whereabouts do?

The only good it does, is if they are in jail, as this one should have been.

If you only knew..LOL

I chaperoned some kids to the zoo last week. We get to the elephants and the kids are saying What's that hanging off the elephant's stomach????

uhh, uhhh, (trying to think of appropriate answer) I said "It's just part of his body."

A part that was hanging all the way to the ground!! We must have just missed mating.

boy has not been found

No. The perp has been charged with kidnapping and various parole violations and failure to register as a sex offender in one state (I don't recall which one).

Okay, I am late to this guy -- how is it that there are two different stories up about this guy this morning?

[Fido969]

YOU would always speculate on the father in this type of case. Gee, did you know more kids are killed by their mothers than by their fathers fathers - and more kids are killed by their mother's boyfriends then by the fathers. But you don't get national coverage on those cases - but the MSM spreads the "bad-dad" propaganda everytime they have a chance, so Kool-Aid drinkers thing every divorced dad in the country is a terrible person.

[Howlin]

The creep has a web site where he advocates no penalties for molestors.

Are you kidding?

[Types_with_Fist]

No. The police official at the presser even gave out the url. I didn't catch it though.

[LRS]

Liberalism detroys lives...

[Brilliant]

I doubt this guy killed those people (at least by himself). He's too skinny looking to do it, particularly since the boy friend who was killed was so muscular.

Makes you think it was a conspiracy, doesn't it?

[QwertyKPH]

I posted the old story from 2003 and posted a link to it in the new thread.

[sweet_diane]

All I caught of the website name was "mail" or "male" something or other. Not a site I'd care to see.
