July 6, 1996: Sammiejo White, 11, and her sister, Carmen Cubias, 9, disappear after leaving the Crest Motel on Aurora Avenue North in Seattle shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday to get cigarettes at a nearby restaurant for an older brother. Police said they do not know whether the girls ran away or are victims of foul play.
Feb. 10, 1998: The remains of Sammiejo and Carmen are found by a transient living in an abandoned barn near Northeast 195th Street and 120th Avenue Northeast in the North Creek area of Bothell. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office says the girls probably were killed very soon after they disappeared.
July 2, 2005: Joseph Edward Duncan III is arrested at a Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, diner after he is seen with kidnap victim Shasta Groene, age 8. Duncan is later charged with killing Shasta’s mother, brother and her mother’s boyfriend in their Idaho home on May 16, 2005. He is also accused of kidnapping Shasta and her brother Dylan, 9, and sexually abusing them for seven weeks before killing Dylan.
August 2005: Duncan provides the FBI with details about the slayings of Sammiejo and Carmen, but does not give an outright confession to the crime, said King County sheriff’s spokesman John Urquhart.
Today(article is from 2007): Federal prosecutors say Duncan has confessed to killing Sammiejo and Carmen as well as a Southern California youngster in 1997.
Timeline of Sammiejo White and Carmen Cubias case
Duncan killed 9-year-old Carmen Cubias and 11-year-old Sammiejo White, both of Seattle, by hitting them in the head with a crowbar in 1996, FBI Special Agent Mike Sotka told the court.
Despite confession, case open
The slaying of two half-sisters in the Seattle area more than a decade ago remains open even though killer Joseph Duncan has given federal agents a detailed confession.
The King County Sheriff’s Office, which is the lead agency investigating the 1996 murders of 9-year-old Carmen Cubias and 11-year-old Sammiejo White, had downplayed Duncan’s statements a year ago. Investigators remain cautious but said Monday they’re still investigating.
Killings of three other children recounted
Officials say Duncan may also be responsible for the 1996 murders of Seattle sisters, Carmen Cubias and Sammie Jo White. The King County Prosecutors office says the case is still under investigation.
Duncan sentenced again, but another case awaits
