VAULT Studios weekly podcast True Crime Chronicles delves into the 2005 murder of a Coeur d’Alene family before kidnapping and molesting two of the family’s children.
Duncan, a convicted sex offender, murdered Brenda Groene, her boyfriend and son at their home near Coeur d'Alene. Shasta Groene and her brother, Dylan, were kidnapped by Duncan and molested. Dylan was eventually murdered.

In 2018, Shasta, the lone survivor, planned to detail what happened in her by writing a book. It’s unclear if the book was ever published.
Shasta's testimony helped convict Duncan in the murders. Duncan was also implicated in three other murders.
In December 2007, Duncan pleaded guilty in connection to the murders and currently sits on death row in federal prison in Indiana. On Aug. 27, 2008, a jury found Duncan eligible for the death penalty on all three counts of murder and the court immediately imposed the death sentences. On Nov. 3, 2008, Duncan was sentenced to multiple terms of life imprisonment and terms of 120 months imprisonment on the remaining crimes.
After the proceedings, Duncan filed a civil petition raising 12 post-conviction claims challenging his sentences.
In March 2019, a federal judge denied Duncan’s petition to vacate his three death penalty sentences.
