This is one of the saddest stories I have every listened to
that could have been prevented if he had not gotten out of jail the first time,
maybe gotten some help but I doubt that would have made a difference to his way
of mind. What a cruel man who thinks nothing of life as you will find between
these pages a man who rapes, kills little kids and families for no other reason
than to have his fun and way with kids.
Mr. Bennett has become one of my favorite narrators he
really knows how to pull a read in becoming the characters. His character
voices have always been outstanding here you have more facts the characters so
you really do not get a true sounding of just how great his narration is. There
his narration you can really feel the pain the families, friends and the
victims go through. There is no repeat of words nor any background noise just a
clean clear audio that you will spend time in shock and pain as you hear what
they had to go through. The narrator really bought home to me all this and so
many more families had to go through because of this man. He really put emotion
into the audio you can feel each pain, sorrow and tear that falls through his
voice.
Words cannot say what I feel for the victims and their families.
All that Shasta and Dylan had to go through and what Shasta still is
today just breaks your heart. My mind won’t even wrap around the years since
this and what it must have been like to become an adult still dealing with the
past.
This is a story mostly of facts that are heartbreaking from
the day they were taken and their family was killed up to and a few years after
he caught, it even goes over his thought to a point and how he was turning his
self in..whatever. The author does into some detail but it isn’t hard core, he
doesn’t go into just what happen to these children just they were raped and
used. It shouldn’t set off any triggers. It’s a story of one family’s life turned
upside down never to be the same. I thought it was well written with good facts
that kept me interested. I am a true crime junky no doubt about it. I spend my
time trying to work out why, why would someone do the things they do. I am
hooked on the way the mind works or doesn’t work. I was hooked from the start
and was so glad one child made it out of a nightmare to live. One must wonder
what her life is like today and when the evil man will be put to death. I hope
it is very long and painful. It might be wrong but it is how I feel. I enjoyed
seeing how the law had changed, how the holes have been filled to helpful help
the next Shasta so her and her family will not have to deal with all she has.
My heart is very much with her family and hope them the very best. I feel so
much for a child that had to be a hero but lost so much to the women she is
today. If you enjoy facts and true crime it is worth the listen. The narration
is outstanding.

Summary
Joseph Duncan had been convicted of raping and torturing a
14-year-old boy in Tacoma, Washington. On the Internet he proudly boasted of
his perversions. But the system turned Duncan loose, and no one would stop him
from committing an even more horrifying act...
This time, he prepared meticulously. He chose his getaway car. He chose his murder weapon and loaded a video camera. Then, when he saw young Shasta and Dylan Groene playing outside their Idaho home, he struck—killing their mother and her boyfriend, and their older brother…and vanishing into the night with Shasta and Dylan.
Detectives pored over the bloody murder scene. The FBI scrambled to find the children and the abductor. And even when Duncan was finally located, the story was not yet over: Dylan was still missing…and the depth of one man's evil was still coming horribly to light….
