On the morning of May 16, 2005, Brenda Groene, 40, was found brutally murdered in her Wolf Lodge, Idaho, home alongside her boyfriend, 37-year-old Mark McKenzie, and her 13-year-old son, Slade Groene. All three had been bound and killed by blunt force trauma to the head. The attack left the household’s two youngest children, nine-year-old Dylan and eight-year-old Shasta, missing and prompted an Amber Alert and a nationwide search.

A break in the case came on July 2, 2005, when a waitress at a Denny’s in Coeur d’Alene recognized Shasta with a man and alerted police; the man, identified as Joseph Edward Duncan III, was arrested. Shasta told investigators that Dylan had been killed at a remote campsite in Montana. Duncan later pleaded guilty in state court to the murders of Brenda, Mark, and Slade and to the kidnapping and murder of Dylan.

Does anyone have memories of the Wolf Lodge area in May 2005 or information that hasn’t been publicized about the investigation?
