The kind of night where the world feels predictable, safe, familiar. The kind of night no one imagines will end in unthinkable violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy morning, that illusion of safety was gone forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the Groene home, investigators would discover a scene so brutal it stunned even the most seasoned officers. A mother, her partner, and her teenage son all murdered with a savagery that defied explanation. And in the midst of the carnage, an even more terrifying realization emerged: two children, Shasta, eight, and Dylan, nine, were missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happened to them? Who had taken them? And why?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the sun rose over the Idaho mountains, a frantic search began, pulling together federal agents, local law enforcement, volunteer teams, and a community gripped by fear. Helicopters combed the forests. Officers walked shoulder to shoulder through brush and thicket. Every hour that passed without answers felt like a silent countdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo one knew then that the children were still alive, held captive by a drifter whose cruelty had been years in the making. A man who seemed to move through life leaving behind a trail of broken warnings, unheeded red flags, and quiet devastation. A man whose name would soon become synonymous with horror: Joseph Edward Duncan III.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book retraces those days and nights - the terror inside the Groene home, the ordeal in the wilderness, the unlikely moment of recognition in a Denny's restaurant that cracked the case open, and the heartbreaking truth that followed. But this is also the story of something more: of a little girl's courage, of a brother's final act of love, of a family shattered yet remembered, and of a justice system forced to confront the depths of evil one human being can harbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the Groene family murders.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the darkness that hid in the mountains of Idaho.\u003cbr\u003eThis is \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvil in Idaho\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elise Hermann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798276727868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Elise Hermann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487501070591,"sku":"9798276727868","price":10.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebe7fe36-8b41-4041-bd24-5f217f85f704.jpg?v=1778060801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evil-in-idaho-elise-hermann-9798276727868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
