Remains Identified as Those of Missing Boy, 9
Human remains discovered at a remote western Montana campsite were identified as those of Dylan Groene, the 9-year-old boy who disappeared nearly two months ago from the scene of three grisly slayings.
Kootenai County officials confirmed that Dylan’s sister Shasta, 8, was the only survivor of the brutal attacks.
Police found the bound and beaten bodies of the children’s mother, 13-year-old brother and mother’s boyfriend at their rural Coeur d’Alene home on May 16; Shasta and Dylan were missing.
Shasta was found six weeks after the attacks, when a waitress spotted her at a restaurant with Joseph Edward Duncan III, a registered sex offender.
