Suspected Killer Being Eyed in Other Cases
Police around the country are taking a closer look at unsolved killings for a possible connection to Joseph Edward Duncan III, who is accused of killing three people in their Coeur d’Alene-area home in order to abduct two children for sex.
Authorities have confirmed they were looking at Duncan as a potential suspect in at least four additional deaths.
Duncan, 42, was arrested early July 2 at a restaurant after a waitress recognized him there with one of the children, 8-year-old Shasta Groene.
Remains of Shasta’s 9-year-old brother, Dylan, were found in a Montana forest two days later.
