The Serial Killer's Blog

hey you and welcome my name is Mike and in this video we're looking into the case of the serial killers blog it's exactly what it sounds like this is the story of Joseph II Duncan the third who currently sits on death row he has kept an online blog by the name of the fifth nail since shortly before he was arrested detailing his experiences growing up his crimes and his time in prison so with it further ado let's just jump headfirst into crazy town [Music] let's start with the backstory of the man in question Joseph Duncan he has a hell of a long history of being an extremely dangerous sexual predator and killer born in Tacoma Washington in 1963 he committed his first act in 1978 when he sexually assaulted a nine-year-old boy at gunpoint Joseph was 15 years old at the time after being arrested the following year for driving a stolen car he was sent to juvenile detention there he told a therapist he sexually assaulted over a dozen boys in 1980 he was arrested again after you guessed it sodomizing another young boy and was sentenced to 20 years in prison but was released after 14 for good behavior it's believed that in 1996 he murdered two young girls and in 1997 he murdered a ten year old boy however at the time these cases went unsolved and it was only uncovered he was the killer after his arrest in 2005 in March 2005 he was charged with molesting two boys in Minnesota bail was set at $10,000 however a lawyer Joseph knew helped him post bail and in April he skipped town and disappeared but this next incident is what put him behind bars for good and got him on death row still there was kind of a eerie stillness about the residents and as I walked up to the front door I saw the blood on the front door in May 2005 police discovered the bodies of 40 year old Brenda grainy her boyfriend Mark Mackenzie and her 13 year old son Slade in their home in Idaho to Brenda's other children Dylan and Shasta were missing autopsies determined the cause of death to be and trauma to the head and that the victims had been bound seven weeks later in July Shasta was seen at a Denny's restaurant in the company of an unknown man staff at Denny's noticed Shasta as they had seen her face on missing persons flyers police arrived and they arrested the man she was with Joseph Duncan two days later Shasta's brother Dylan who was also missing his remains were found at a campsite in Montana he had been killed by a shotgun blast to the head we won't get into it but as you can imagine Shasta and Dylan they didn't exactly have a good time while being kidnapped by Duncan and so Joseph Duncan he got the death penalty which seems yeah agreeable evening and thanks for joining us tonight confessed killer Joseph Duncan will be executed for the kidnapping and murder of Dylan groan II the Boise jury took just three hours to decide his fate today sentencing him to death prosecutors made their closing arguments this morning painting Duncan as a danger to society even if he was in prison now the instance I just spoke of they're the ones Joseph is known to be responsible for but there are thought to be about a dozen other cold cases which he is believed to be responsible for there's just not enough evidence to link him to them and now we get into his blog blogging the fifth nail spicy name the name it comes from Jesus he was nailed to the cross with four nails and supposedly the Romans they hid a fifth one I don't know the first post was on Saturday January 31st 2004 it's pretty mundane in parts though he does show a keen knowledge of the prison system really all it is is showing his side of the story not that though you know after all he's done people really give a [ __ ] but it's it's interesting nonetheless the comments are well once people found this website after he was arrested you can imagine on Saturday the 31st of January 2004 he wrote this blog is my connection to who I am and who I am becoming it is a way for me to connect to who I was so I can better understand who I will become just like the guy in the movie the butterfly effect I can't explain so why do I even try because I know what I know and that is all anyone and know the following post literally details a day in his life minute by minute it's disturbing to note that um according to his diary serial killers they also have trouble with the snooze button on their alarm clocks but um well there you go at one point he writes police car in front of me at a stop light I noticed that I'm not as nervous as he used to be pulling up behind a police car I marvel for a moment about how much time the officer must spend concerning himself with registration laws when he could be doing something else I wonder if he recognizes me not likely probably doesn't even consciously see me behind him just heading back to the station probably not even aware I exist the thought makes me feel better he also has a real problem when a Texas judge rules sex offenders require warnings on their license plates saying that is a headline I found on the Internet just now some states require ex sex offenders to have special license tags this whole registration thing is getting more and more like Nazi Germany all the time if someone were to propose law like Megan's Law back in the 1940s that person would have been spied upon as a Nazi sympathizer what else does he write Oh some god-awful poetry has an issue with the term sex offender think he thinks it's a bit discriminatory he actually spends quite a bit of time trying to defend sex offenders prime NAMBLA candidate here he writes about his cats his dreams expresses his annoyance that Google isn't indexing his website properly as he's not getting enough hits thank God YouTube wasn't around at this time he's also not a fan of taxes which is ironic considering he spent and will spend quite a long time in prison he kind of goes on blah blah blahs life is pretty mundane and he spends most of the time just feeling sorry for himself but his next post it's a kicker a friend of mine pointed out that I spend too much time dwelling on my past sex offense 25 years ago and she offered this blog as evidence she said I was also very negative likewise evidenced in this blog Wow she is obviously correct and it bothers me that I hadn't seen this before not that I'm really negative inside I'm really not I love my life and I love the world and I believe genuinely that God does not make mistakes so there is nothing wrong but the way things are I know from ongoing personal experience that my struggle to know the truth is God's gift to me his gift can be acknowledged and recognized but it can never be lost or possessed so I truly I'm a hobby person on a level where being happy really counts [Music] that was posted in March 2005 two months before he would go to Idaho murder three people and kidnap two children on May 11th a few days before he would kill again he wrote that the demons had taken over to be more specific I am scared alone and confused and my reaction is to strike out toward the perceived source of my misery society my intent is the harm society as much as I can then die [Music] as you can imagine people commented the hell out of that that was the last entry on that blog that was the last entry on that blog he is still writing the fifth nail exposed confessions the earliest post to miss was in 2010 he had been imprisoned five years at this point it's called the real story and as a series of corrections to a newspaper article that appeared in The Spokesman Review telling what really happened in his own words well I mean according to him I don't think anybody would have any sympathy for him is what I'm saying after all the [ __ ] he's done he promotes himself as someone who was the victim in a lot of situations and a model citizen when he wasn't in trouble this new blog details his life in prison he tells more stories that could or could not be complete [ __ ] the most recent updates to this were in January 2019 when he goes into detail regarding the murder he committed in 1997 the murder of Anthony Martinez it is an extremely disturbing read - a hundred out of ten would not recommend this is followed by another post in March 2019 telling the story of how he was on the run after Martinez's murder on his attempt to get into Mexico which was unsuccessful so how is he updating this blog to this very day no one really knows he doesn't have access to a computer in prison the most recent update was posted by someone named agent Cooper who is that we don't know the earlier posts were done by the usernames silenced that is until 2014 when agent Cooper took over it's hypothesized that the letters he is sending from prison are used to update the blog but what sicko is doing it that's unknown the blurb of the website states the history of our world is infinitely more important to the understanding of why I did what I did then my personal history will ever be that being said I present here as much of my past as I honestly can to be taken in proper context so that perhaps we might someday be able to stop repeating our histories together that's a bit rich coming from a serial killer by the way he also has two other blogs both updated by agent Cooper the fifth nail exposed chronicles details his life in prison that was last updated on April 21st 2019 where he talks about how he learned to shave also the fifth nail exposed letters last updated on April 24th 2019 where he replies to comments the most recent entry being has someone commented on his blog essentially calling him out for trying to philosophize murder and child abuse his reply the beginning of which goes when I read comments like this it only reminds me of how limited on shallow most people's perspectives are they only see as far as is necessary in order to form an opinion and then no further in this case spinner 1980 has failed to see beyond the hype of the immediate victim and thus cannot grasp the deeper concepts which I've attempted to discuss there this blog that are only too painfully real and obvious for someone who can see that the need to judge and condemn that which they fear to comprehend they are afraid to see within themselves the very thing they condemn in others the patronizing a condescending and arrogant tone of that is really all you need to know about Joseph Duncan Joseph Duncan is serving 11 consecutive sentences of life without parole as well as being sentenced to death in a United States and attend Sheree in Indiana psychiatrists diagnosed Duncan with sadistic personality disorder an antisocial personality disorder with narcissistic traits but state he is legally sane they clearly haven't read his blog though the fact that he is declared sane or is saying that makes it so much worse links down below if you want to take a gander wouldn't recommend thank you so much for watching I really really appreciate it if you would like to see more please subscribe and I'll see you as always real soon in the next video thanks again Mike [Music] you
