Overview

On a warm spring night in 2005, in the quiet outskirts of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, the Groene family settled in for what should have been an ordinary evening. The kind of night where the world feels predictable, safe, familiar. The kind of night no one imagines will end in unthinkable violence. By morning, that illusion of safety was gone forever. Inside the Groene home, investigators would discover a scene so brutal it stunned even the most seasoned officers. A mother, her partner, and her teenage son all murdered with a savagery that defied explanation. And in the midst of the carnage, an even more terrifying realization emerged: two children, Shasta, eight, and Dylan, nine, were missing. What happened to them? Who had taken them? And why? As the sun rose over the Idaho mountains, a frantic search began, pulling together federal agents, local law enforcement, volunteer teams, and a community gripped by fear. Helicopters combed the forests. Officers walked shoulder to shoulder through brush and thicket. Every hour that passed without answers felt like a silent countdown. No one knew then that the children were still alive, held captive by a drifter whose cruelty had been years in the making. A man who seemed to move through life leaving behind a trail of broken warnings, unheeded red flags, and quiet devastation. A man whose name would soon become synonymous with horror: Joseph Edward Duncan III. This book retraces those days and nights - the terror inside the Groene home, the ordeal in the wilderness, the unlikely moment of recognition in a Denny's restaurant that cracked the case open, and the heartbreaking truth that followed. But this is also the story of something more: of a little girl's courage, of a brother's final act of love, of a family shattered yet remembered, and of a justice system forced to confront the depths of evil one human being can harbor. This is the story of the Groene family murders. This is the darkness that hid in the mountains of Idaho. This is Evil in Idaho.
