When Shasta Groene was eight years old, she and her 9-year-old brother Dylan were abducted from their Idaho home by serial killer, Joseph Edward Duncan. After a forty-eight-day ordeal, she was rescued, her brother wasn’t. Surviving those weeks in the woods was only the beginning of her harrowing journey. In the following years she struggled to outrun her trauma, a pattern of self-destructive behavior shadowing her like an ever-worsening thunderstorm. But she still had hope buried deep inside, every bit as much as the little girl who had been held captive in the woods. This would be an all-new battle for Shasta. And she was determined not to lose.

In this EXCLUSIVE Part 1 Episode, Shasta recounts in graphic and harrowing detail, the events leading up and including the murder of her family in front of her, and her abduction and the forty-eight day ordeal and her eventual escape!

Shasta’s experience has been turned into an amazing book by #1 New York Times Best Selling author Gregg Olsen who will feature along with Shasta in Part 2.  

The book is: ‘OUT OF THE WOODS: A Girl, a Killer, and Lifelong Struggle to Find the Way Home’

Gregg was able to get Shasta to open up and share her trauma. He is a true talent and an impassioned voice for victims and their families. Olsen has been a guest on Dateline, 48 Hours, 20/20, Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, Today, FOX News, CNN, Anderson Cooper, MSNBC, Entertainment Tonight, Snapped, Forensic Files, Inside Edition, Nancy Grace, Extra, Access Hollywood, NPR and Biography, among dozens of other shows. 

We can’t wait to have them both on for PART 2 to understand Shasta’s continued trauma recovery from this utterly devastating ordeal. 

Thank you Shasta we are blessed to have you.
