Joseph Edward Duncan III, 42, is being held on suspicion of kidnapping and other charges. He was found with the previously missing Shasta Groene, 8, in an Idaho Denny’s. According to a wire service, Duncan, from Fargo, “is a violent sexual predator who has spent much of his adult life in prison.” Still missing is Shasta’s 9-year-old brother, Dylan, who is feared dead. If authorities indeed find that Dylan has been abused and murdered, authorities will be partly responsible. Why are people such as Duncan allowed to walk the streets? Something has to change.
