Joseph Edward Duncan III (born February 25, 1963) is an American criminal who received national attention after being arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Shasta Groene, age eight, and her brother Dylan, age nine.
Duncan has a long history as a violent sexual predator, and was clinically diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder in 1980, while in prison for raping a younger boy at knifepoint.
Duncan recorded many of his violent sexual fantasies, even to the extent of becoming a sex offender advocate working for the repeal of sex offender law.
Joseph Edward Duncan III, 42, a convicted sex offender on the run from an earlier child molestation count, was arrested Saturday at a local Denny's restaurant with Shasta, believed to be the sole survivor of the attack in which the girl's mother, older brother and mother's boyfriend were killed.
Duncan had spent more than a decade in prison for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy at gunpoint in Tacoma, Wash., and was a fugitive at the time of his arrest after he was charged with molesting a 6-year-old boy in Minnesota.
Duncan's first recorded brush with the law occurred in 1979 when he was arrested by police after a high-speed chase in a stolen car.
