The Amazing Survival Tale Of Shasta Groene - Part 3 - The Hunt For Shasta

Episode 3 — The Hunt for Shasta On July 4th, 2005, FBI agents worked their way up a primitive forest service road in the Bitterroot Mountains of western Montana. They had been directed there by an eight-year-old girl who had walked out of a Denny’s restaurant in Coeur d’Alene two days earlier. What they found at the end of that road confirmed what Shasta Groene had already told them. Dylan was gone. In this episode, we go into the forty-eight days between the night Joseph Duncan drove away from Wolf Lodge and the morning Shasta sat in that Denny’s booth and said her name out loud. We cover the campsite in the Lolo National Forest. The small Montana town that didn’t know two missing children were being held in its backyard. The letters Shasta and Dylan wrote to their father that were never mailed. And the moment an overnight waitress looked at a small, dirty girl and trusted what she saw. This is the episode about what Shasta endured, how Dylan died, and how an eight-year-old girl survived forty-eight days in the Montana wilderness by understanding, in real time, exactly what she needed to say.
