Joseph Edwards Duncan III.
I’m afraid that once all of the chilling facts of the Groene case—the beating to death of three people, the kidnapping and repeated rapes of 8-year-old Shasta Groene and her 9-year-old brother Dylan, and the subsequent murder of the brother—are revealed, that Duncan will be remembered as one of the most vile and demented psychopaths in recent memory.
Duncan also claims to have a second, encrypted journal, which details his horrendous acts and thoughts—and which might ultimately tie him to other as of yet unsolved crimes.
What’s scary is how, despite being a Level-Three sex offender (Level-Three offenders have been determined to be at the highest risk for re-offense out of all of the three risk levels), Duncan was able to assimilate into his small North Dakota community. His resume, which has since been removed from the North Dakota State University web site (but is still available at archive.org), shows that Duncan was an intelligent man. His resume’s stated objective is chilling in retrospect:
CURRENT OBJECTIVE
I am currently working full time while I complete academic objectives expecting to graduate with a 3.3 gpa BS in Computer Science this coming Spring, (May 2005.) Upon graduation I will seek a position that will take advantage of my skills, experience and education while enhancing my already considerable repertoire. I hope to relocate to a populous Southern coastal region (most likely Florida, Ft. Lauderdale area.)
In his blog, Joseph Edward Duncan the Third, provided an excerpt from a book that he planned to write someday:
Jan had always resented the fact that his parents were separated, more than the fact that his relationship with his father was sexual.
I have little doubt that Duncan the Third was raped and molested by Duncan the Second. Let us all be thankful that there will never be a Joseph Edward Duncan IV.
