Description: STOLEN IN THE NIGHT: The True Story of a Family's Murder, a Kidnapping, and the Child Who Survived, is a book about the Shasta and Dylan Groene/Joseph Edward Duncan III case that occurred in Idaho during the spring and summer of 2005. It is a shocking story of multiple murder, sexual abuse and kidnapping.

A KNOWN SEXUAL PSYCHOPATH: Joseph Edward Duncan III had been convicted of raping and torturing a 14-year-old boy in Washington state. 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...

TWO INNOCENT VICTIMS: This time, he prepared meticulously. He chose his getaway car. He chose his murder weapon and loaded a video camera. Then, when he saw two children playing outside their Idaho home, he struck--leaving behind three bodies and vanishing into the night with a young sister and brother.

A CRIME THAT SHOOK THE NATION: Detectives poured 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: One of the children was still missing...and the depths of one man's evil was still coming horribly to light....
