Doctor gives Duncan Money

[Incognito]

http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=96937&section=News

<snip> On May 13, Fargo police investigator Greg Esposito spoke by phone with Richard Wacksman, a former Fargo doctor who befriended Duncan before he moved to Fargo in 2000

Wacksman, who moved from Harwood, N.D., to Florida several years ago, told Esposito he last spoke to Duncan around April 15, when he got a phone call from him, according to a Fargo police report.
The report also said:

Wacksman loaned Duncan about $6,500 before his court appearance in Detroit Lakes. The loan was intended to defray attorney fees.

Very good post.

When I google that name it lists a Pediatrician. Here is the license info for Richard Wacksman from Fargo:

Duncan's blog mentioned a "Dr. friend" and he visited a friend in Fla. at one time. Possible that both blog entries he is referring to this guy then.
Odd that a pediatrician would befriend a pedofile wouldn't you say?

interesting!

Perhaps it would have served JED better to have befriended a Psychiatrist. :loser:

Pediatricians + young children = wellness

I wonder if the doctor settled any lawsuits before he closed his practice.

I hope the people of Fargo are alerted to question any children who were in this man's care.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see something odd about a Pediatrician befriending a convicted pedofile?

[mysteriew]

LOL, you got my point.

[amandab]

Makes all the sense in the world. I know I'm jumping to conclusions, but every now and then you hear about pediatricians being busted in Internet child porn stings.

My sincere apologies to the good doctor if this is not the case, but it is the first thing that comes t mind........

[PrayersForMaura]

I thought the same thing. The doctor could have molested children patients, we unfortunately do not know his background. Hopefully he did not.


I hope the people of Fargo are alerted to question any children who were in this man's care.
I agree with you and also think the children patients of that doctor need to be reexamined by another doctor just to be safe. I think family members should know that their pediatrician helped fund a pedophile's lifestyle.

[indigomood]

Is it just me, or does anyone else see something odd about a Pediatrician befriending a convicted pedofile?
point well taken... we must have posted about the same time, LOL. I see it being very odd. That is why the National Practitioners Data Bank must be opened for the public to peruse. How else will we know the background/disciplinary actions of a selected provider? The public must be able to protect themselves from nefarious practitioners, imo.

http://www.npdb-hipdb.com/npdb.html

General Public
Why is the NPDB and HIPDB information not available to the public?

The NPDB-HIPDB is prohibited by law from disclosing information on a specific practitioner, provider, or supplier to a member of the general public. However, persons or entities may request information in a form that does not identify any particular entity or practitioner. You may also wish to contact the State medical board to see if any licensure actions have taken place for a physician. Malpractice and criminal conviction information is not always available from State medical boards, but can usually be found by performing research at relevant courthouses.

Actually I see a real problem with allowing doctors to police other doctors. The board should contain a mix of doctors and non-doctors to prevent some of this favoritism.
Same thing with the atty board.

There are too many stories out there of attys and doctors convicted of horrible crimes, yet still allowed to retain their licenses.

And you are right, these decisions should be made public.

[Incognito]

I checked. No disiplinary action taken in North Dakota, Florida. He is also licensed in New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and no action there either.

He is a doctor without a practice.

That's what my first thoughts were. Perhaps this dr is a pedophile. That's a horrible thought.......

It is way too easy to jump to conclusions for all of us.

However, I believe that I read in Duncan's Blog (my words) that he had made friends with people that believed in him and he could never let them know about his past.

Anyone else remember this reference?

Let's give the doctor a pass until we know more.

[Sofia]

The doctor knew about his past. The doctor could have been a good samaritan, but the fact that he doesn't stay very long in one area looks suspicious to me. If he's had a license in 5 states, it sure makes you wonder.

I also seem to remember an entry that his frined's family was aware of his past and accepted him anyway.

[ISPTRAX]

I wonder how they "befriended"... perhaps they're NAMBLA members or met in a pedo chatroom? A pedophiltrician I mean "pediatrician" without a practice? And in all those states? He probably just set up shop then got the hell out of dodge before he got busted and moved on to a new state with new little boys.

[dragonfly]

Wouldn't you suppose if he had to asked the doctor for money to the tune of $6500 he would have had to give him some reason as to why he needed the money! "Oh by the way I have to post a bail, and hire an attorney for child molestation charges, think you could see your way clear to help me out?"

"At a 1997 parole revocation hearing in Olympia, Wash., Richard Wacksman, a Fargo doctor Duncan had met at a coffeehouse in San Francisco, testified on his behalf.

Wacksman said he would support Duncan financially and let him live in his home if he was released.

The parole review board rejected the plan and revoked Duncan's parole. Wacksman has since moved from Fargo. Efforts to contact him were unsuccessful Saturday. "

BTW, on Anywho it shows a Richard Wacksman living in New Port Richey, Florida.

[cecilia]

Agreed -- a hundred bucks to somebody down and out with a conning sob story is one thing, but that's quite a chunk, $6500, even for a doctor -- Duncan either lied about the reason he needed it, or the doc was heftily conned or, he's a willing supporter. Hope he's not a fan.

It was a big day last fall when Mike DeVries of Fargo walked into MeritCare’s Intensive Care Unit ... just to visit. A patient on the ICU for 49 days, he overcame a rare, life-threatening form of fungal pneumonia (blastomycosis) compounded by severe respiratory distress. Few have survived it.

“It’s really neat when patients like Mike come back to visit,” says Richard Wacksman, M.D., critical care specialist, and one of many involved in Mike’s care. “We knew how very sick he was, and to see him standing on his own two feet, talking with people and laughing — it makes us realize what the work we do here is all about.”

It is VERY suspicious to me that this guy was willing to have Duncan live in his home, under the same roof with HIS OWN "victim age children." Yikes. I can't imagine any parent in their right mind being willing to take a risk like that, even if they did believe Duncan was a "changed man."

There's something very, very NOT RIGHT about this Wacksman guy, IMO.

[Vet4Bush]

Wacksman "graduated" from American University of the Caribbean, an offshore med school for those who can't make it in the US med schools.

[SpringTxMom]

Hmmmm... the US as a nation has targeted "supporters" of terrorism as well as the terrorist... but "supporters" of known pedeophiles get a pass.

Amen!! And IMO pedophiles/child molestors/rapists ARE terrorists. They are terrorizing our children and women...what's the difference? It's not on a large scale but it's still terrorism IMO.

I want to add something from the article about Wachsman. I started to edit my post a few minutes ago, but the system was having some sort of meltdown and I couldn't even get to WS for a while. Now that I'm back, I want to do this as a separate post, so it doesn't get lost as an addendum to the other one.

When Duncan moved to Fargo, police released information on his past, including a document from a 1997 sentence review board hearing in Olympia, Wash., held to determine whether Duncan should be returned to prison for a parole violation.

At the hearing, Wacksman asked that Duncan be released so that he could live at Wacksman's North Dakota home.

Wacksman stated he had no concerns regarding the safety of his children, a view the review board did not share.

The board rejected Wacksman's proposal, finding that: "Under no circumstances whatsoever would the board allow Mr. Duncan to reside in a home where victim age children reside. … With all due respect to Dr. Wacksman, we are not willing to expose his children to that kind of risk."

I just find it completely outrageous that someone would want to invite this CONVICTED BOY RAPER to live in his home, UNDER THE SAME ROOF WITH HIS OWN "VICTIM AGE" CHILDREN. If that Wachsman isn't a fellow pedo, I'll eat this keyboard I'm typing on. Thank God the people on the review board had some brains!

:blowkiss: <-- for the review board that did NOT let Duncan live in Wachsman's house with 24/7 access to Wachsman's "victim age" children

It's hard to imagine -- unless it's the obvious -- what would motivate this man to invite the convicted paedophile into his home allowing him to be under the same roof as his children particularly after the board said they were not willing to expose his children to that risk.

words fail me.

this 'dr' MUST be investigated and thoroughly and NOW. and someone should speak with his children to find out if they're safe and well, IMO.

[less0305]

I'm speechless!!!!!! I am absolutely, unequivocably, totally speechless!!!!!! I don't think it could be more bizarre than this. :banghead:

[AlohaGal]

This is so totally strange..Duncan hooking up with people from a European orphanage and now a pediatrician? Hmmmmmm.

Ag

[Incognito]

Exactly! The doctor knew his past criminal history. He wanted to invite him to move in with him and the children. He also knew what the money was for. I wonder what kind of job the doctor has since he doesn't have a practice.

[less0305]

Odd that he met a Dr. in a coffee shop in San Francisco..... A Joseph E. Duncan Jr. died in San Francisco in 1995. Wonder if this was sicko's dad.

San Fransisco? hmmmm........Duncan claimed he was raped at about the age of 8 yrs but I haven't seen who he claimed raped him. Wonder what "possible Dad" died of? Did anyone find this guy's obit, and did it list any family members?

I couldn't find the obit. I searched and searched. I haven't seen in writing anywhere what sleaze ball's mother's name is. I was just guessing on the father's name. After reading his blogs, I got the distinct impression daddy was a molester, and if daddy had connections, I bet daddy passed him around. Purely speculation on my part, tho.

Exactly. And pedophiles tend to seek each other out. They network on the internet and in real life.

I'll bet you $1 mill that this Doc is a pedophile. Let's see if we can dig up any more info on him.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see something odd about a Pediatrician befriending a convicted pedofile?
NO, it's not just you, and for some reason forking over $6,500 :waitasec:

Wacksman ... I'm sorry but what a terrible name. :eek:

[Aunt Blabby]

I live on the Minnesota side of Fargo. I moved back to this area in the spring of 2000 after living in Sacramento. I got a job in the cafeteria at the hospital in Fargo. Several months later one of my co-workers pointed out Dr. Wacksman to me and said there was an article about him in the Fargo paper that morning. Turned out it was the article about him wanting to support Duncan and take him into his home. I couldn't believe it as he was a pretty high profile Dr. here. Also, his wife was a chief pharmacist . I wondered at the time and still do as to the meeting in a coffeehouse in San Francisco and when this might have been. If he was at the parole hearing in 1997 exactly when did they meet for the first time??? Evidently they have been in contact ever since. Me thinks there are a few skeletons in a closet somewhere. I said at the time this would come back to bite the good (?) Dr. and I think it has.

[Aunt Blabby]

Dr. Wacksman still has a Fargo address and phone number in the 2005 telephone book. Which is kinda strange if he moved away from here several years ago.

[Tom'sGirl]

I wonder if anyone is actually at the office, or just an ongoing ad?

[Aunt Blabby]

I know... it totally blew me away at the time that you would even consider taking in someone with Duncan's background......especially with children of your own......Yikes. I hope this creep pays dearly for this.

[Aunt Blabby]

This is a residential address not the clinic or hospital. Maybe I'll drive by on my way home tonight. I drove by Duncan's apt. this afternon on my way to work and all is quiet there.

[CaliKid]

Oh my goodness! What was that doctor thinking? I would NEVER in a million years let someone like JED live with me!

[Tom'sGirl]

Oh my goodness! What was that doctor thinking? I would NEVER in a million years let someone like JED live with me!Obviously NOT LIKE A NORMAL PERSON :doh:

You would think a Ped doctor of all people would be repulsed, or anyone for that matter.

[Incognito]

Aunt Blabby..His medical license expired in North Dakota a couple years ago. He isn't affiliated with a clinic or hospital in Florida where he resides. I'm still trying to find out where he gets his money from if he isn't doctoring. Interesting he would still be in the phone book after several years.

Maybe you'll want to bring the digital if you have one. :)

Bingo!

[Aunt Blabby]

Hey guys...I was wrong on that address and phone number he has here...sorry. It is a hospital related number.

[Aunt Blabby]

Not only money for himself, Incognito......but to pay a scumbag like Duncan.

[DEPUTYDAWG]

Go Websleuthers, go! Get this dude! This cannot be an innocent situation here, no way, no how....a DOCTOR ???!!!! befriending a child molester???!!! And wanting him to live in his house with his children of the pervert's preferred age????!!!! :razz: It just keeps getting worse and worse....


But y'all are on it!!! :woohoo:

[Aunt Blabby]

I just called the number listed in the phone book by the Dr's. name and the person who answered was very vague and then explained that they had been getting a number of innappropriate calls. I expect that number to be changed very soon.

[Aunt Blabby]

A friend and co-worker of mine will be coming to work later tonight. He has met Duncan. I don't think he knows him well (at least I hope not) but may have hung out in some of the same places so will see if he has any tid bits for me.

[Aunt Blabby]

I hope they have this POS on suicide watch as he has mentioned death and dying a number of times. I want to see him pay.

[Aunt Blabby]

But on the other hand why waste the taxpayers money????

[TKS2003]

This is so totally strange..Duncan hooking up with people from a European orphanage and now a pediatrician? Hmmmmmm.

I havent heard anything about a European orphanage, where can I find more info? Can you elaborate on that?
This whole thing about Duncan and a doctor "friend" who was willing to let that disgusting pedo live in his house with his children is so repulsive, I can t stand it!!

[Shazzie]

Here are some things I found on a Google search.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1435699/posts

This article is an overview of JED's life. It has this to say about Wacksman:


At a 1997 parole revocation hearing in Olympia, Wash., Richard Wacksman, a Fargo doctor Duncan had met at a coffeehouse in San Francisco, testified on his behalf. Wacksman said he would support Duncan financially and let him live in his home if he was released. The parole review board rejected the plan and revoked Duncan's parole.



At the healthgrades.com site, you can order a report on any physician that includes a 49 state search for information on any disciplinary actions. It costs $7.95. I'm not THAT curious, lol, but if someone else is, you can go to this link to place an order: http://www.healthgrades.com/directory_search/physician/profiles/dr-md-reports/Dr-Richard-Wacksman-MD-C260B7EF.cfm

He is listed there as Dr. Richard M. Wacksman, 737 Broadway, Fargo, North Dakota (ND) 58122. I presume that is his former office address in Fargo.

[Shazzie]

Here's another tidbit. According to the ND Unclaimed Money List website, a Richard M. Wacksman has over $1100 worth of unclaimed money in that state! The site lists an address that I presume is where he resided at the time, and I also presume Polit Wacksman is or was his wife.

These two towns are near the Gulf Coast, north of the Tampa-St. Pete area, close enough to the ocean for the scuba diving scumbag said he did while he was visiting his "doctor friend." What do you want to bet one or both of these listings is pedo-doc?

The reference also goes into his North Dakota and pediatrics background. This is the same guy. That's the dirtbag.

So he is practicing in Fla.

To oversee its hospitalist initiative, Morton Plant North Bay has appointed Richard Wacksman, M.D. as medical director of the program. "Hospitalists can also be an asset to physicians by partnering with them to coordinate inpatient care. This gives community physicians the opportunity to concentrate their attention on their office practice and outpatient care,"said Wacksman. "Physicians can track inpatient progress without leaving the office setting."

Not necessarily. The date on that article is March 21, 2003, over two years ago.

I'm going to research that hospital now and see if there is a list of their current staff online. (Yeah, I'm still here--didn't have to get off as soon as I thought I would, lol.)I found the Morton Plant Hospital website and did a search on their "get a doctor" page. No doctors listed with that last name. (ETA: I now see that Vet4Bush beat me to that search. Go, Vet.)

http://www.mortonplant.com/body.cfm?id=77

I then went to the Florida Dept. of Health site, where I found this listing:

RICHARDhttp://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00Profiling/DOT.gifMICHAELhttp://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00Profiling/DOT.gifWACKSMANhttp://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00Profiling/DOT.gif

http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00Profiling/profile.asp?LicId=83289&ProfNBR=1501&Lookup=TRUE

It says he has practiced in four other states besides Florida: Pennsylvania, New York, North Dakota, and Indiana. This guy gets around!

It says his medical license is "clear" and "active," but "This practitioner does not currently hold staff privileges at any hospital/medical/health institution in Florida." So he is no longer practicing at Morton Plant, two years after having been appointed medical director of their hospitalist program. Wow, that sure didn't last long!

[DEPUTYDAWG]

Hmmmm, wonder what he's doing for $$$??? And why the moving so often, different states, not just cities. Anyone seen anything about how old he is?!

I bet "Dr" isn't having an interesting last few days, just waiting for this to go public.

$6,500 in April - so he's still doing well enough, and has kept Duncan on the "friend?" list from at least 1997 - current.

(Oh hinky meter...I hear ya!)

[Vet4Bush]

I'll bet this sick bastard will get plenty of email, now.

[Vet4Bush]

He's 52 years old.

[Incognito]

I checked. No disiplinary action taken in North Dakota, Florida. He is also licensed in New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and no action there either.

http://www.mednets.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/articles_united_states_state_medical_licensing_boa rds_usmedlicensing

He is a doctor without a practice.
I wondered what he is doing for money also. I checked and no disciplinary actions that I could find in the States mentioned.

[AlohaGal]

I havent heard anything about a European orphanage, where can I find more info? Can you elaborate on that?
This whole thing about Duncan and a doctor "friend" who was willing to let that disgusting pedo live in his house with his children is so repulsive, I can t stand it!!

In the entry written just after that, titled Reborn Laptop (http://fifthnail.blogspot.com/2005/01/reborn-laptop.html), Joseph Duncan says the following about that entry: I have a new fan, Jerry, who thinks I should make a documentary about my experiences. I think he is right, I should, but not until I am ready I think. Jerry sounds like a really neat guy, he has a great blog (see "Sasha" entry below) that I think I understand. Keep your eyes on the air waves, Jerry, I could be famous sooner than you think, but hopefully not too soon...

The Russian Orphan link is ominously reminiscent of the recent story about the "Disney girl". Remember when authorities asked for help identifying a girl who appeared in child porn on the web -- it turned out she was a Russian orphan whose adoptive father had abused her.

Duncan claims he was raped at the age of 8 (blog entries and as told to the doctor evaluating him for the Washington treatment program)

Possbile father died in San Francisco, 1995. Unable to obtain obit yet. Unknown cause of death.

Duncan and Wackman made connection in a coffeehouse in San Francisco. As told in a 1997 parole revocation hearing in Olympia, Wash

Wackman was on the faculty of the university that Wackman attended.

Was Possible Dad gay? Did Whackman and Duncan meet up through a Dad connection?

Questions: What did possible Dad die of? Date of possible Dad's death was in 1995? Is there a mention of Duncan in possible Dad's obit? Any mention of Wackman? When did Wackman marry?

Not really. As a doctor, he was part of the "upper crust" in Fargo. People like that get asked to serve on all kinds of boards and committees. It's the same thing 70 miles north of Fargo (Grand Forks), where I live. It's hard to find a doctor that isn't doing his civil duty by serving on the board of a university or non-profit organization.

Even if a person is on the board in name only, they are ususally part of an citizens oversight committe or participate in fundraisers for the universities. They meet and mingle with the upper crust of the university admin. Therefore he may have had influence which may have allowed him to assist a convicted sex offender to get enrolled into a university. Also his personal recommendation would have carried some weight. Universities tend to shy away from enrolling level three sex offenders if at all possible, because if it got out, the parents of the college age kids tend to get upset about things like that. Endangering their kids and the like.

[i.b.nora]

Actually, the way I read that list, I don't see Wacksman listed as being on the board, he is listed as a faculty member.

I am more concerned about the quality of the school he lists as having attended. Will have to look into it.

[Vet4Bush]

He attended American University of the Carribean, an ofshore med school for those who can't cut the mustard at a US med school. No regional accreditation, but recognized by US Dept of Education. Campus is St Maartens, Netherlands Antilles.

Appellant's wife brought their newborn (4 week old) son, Jarod, to the emergency room of United Hospital in the civilian community at about 7:30 a.m. on the morning of February 3, 1997. Jarod was seen by Dr. Richard Wacksman, a critical care physician, who testified that he observed severe trauma to the child including bruises to the nose and extensive retinal hemorrhages (R. 219-223). Jarod's skull contained a subdural hematoma and his brain continued to swell after admission (R. 224, 231). Dr. Wacksman testified that there was no medical cause for the injuries and that they were consistent with "non-accidental injury." (R. 239).

<snip> On May 13, Fargo police investigator Greg Esposito spoke by phone with Richard Wacksman, a former Fargo doctor who befriended Duncan before he moved to Fargo in 2000

Wacksman, who moved from Harwood, N.D., to Florida several years ago, told Esposito he last spoke to Duncan around April 15, when he got a phone call from him, according to a Fargo police report.
The report also said:

Wacksman loaned Duncan about $6,500 before his court appearance in Detroit Lakes. The loan was intended to defray attorney fees.


and by the way...

I grew up in DL, and went to school at NDSU... I lived on a lake and put ski shows on during the summer for resorts in the area...

I'm spitting flames knowing they let this psycho free on the streets...

[Tom'sGirl]

SNIP:

The Forum newspaper, citing police records, reported that Duncan visited Wacksman in Florida in March.


SNIP:
The sentence review board in Olympia, Wash., rejected Wacksman's idea, saying that "under no circumstances whatsoever would the board allow Mr. Duncan to reside in a home where victim age children reside."

Don Nicholas, whose oldest son was a friend of one of Wacksman's children, said a neighborhood meeting was held to discuss Wacksman's friendship with a registered sex offender.

Nicholas, who now lives in Virginia, told The Forum he did not attend the meeting, but he said neighbors confronted Wacksman, and Wacksman told them he would allow Duncan to visit only when supervised.

Wacksman told his neighbors that Duncan was a changed man, Nicholas said. "Obviously, he wasn't," Nicholas said.

7 cameras? Most professional photographers don't own 7 cameras! (LOL, JED was complaining about this search on his blog, evidently he didn't get everything back, hehehe)

Of course they didn't find anything at his home. He only stayed there, he "messed around" out of state. I wonder if he has a bank deposit box or a storage area rented down there? This guy wouldn't have kept these items at home, he knew it was subject to search.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see something odd about a Pediatrician befriending a convicted pedofile?

:furious: I haven't seen this latest twist in the case until now. I'm speechless. As if this whole case wasn't horrible enough, now we know he had made friends with a pediatrician, a doctor with access to children every day.

I don't care if this guy is a doctor, a genius, a respected member of the community, or what he is. To make friends with a pedophile is a great big warning flag. Hello?????????????????????????

I'm not a bloodthirsty person, and I don't really like the death penalty, but these child molesters bring out the longing for revenge in me! When I saw the news tonight that this guy had a long, long history of "treatment" with no improvement, I just feel a sense of despair! :(

Hmmmm, wonder what he's doing for $$$??? And why the moving so often, different states, not just cities. Anyone seen anything about how old he is?!

I bet "Dr" isn't having an interesting last few days, just waiting for this to go public.

$6,500 in April - so he's still doing well enough, and has kept Duncan on the "friend?" list from at least 1997 - current.

(Oh hinky meter...I hear ya!)

Can we say pedophile ring?????!!!!!!!!

[less0305]

A friend and co-worker of mine will be coming to work later tonight. He has met Duncan. I don't think he knows him well (at least I hope not) but may have hung out in some of the same places so will see if he has any tid bits for me.

Of course, not confirmed, but wouldn't that be something... and wouldn't it be great that IF IF IF it was something like a ring, that LE finds out more, and can investigate further and maybe get a few more pervs off the streets. (There has to be some good to come out of all this cr**)

[Maybe So]

Okay so do I have this right?

Dr. Wacksman spoke up for this guy in 1997 at a parole hearing saying he would let him live with him and will support him financially. Dr. Wacksman does this because he supposedly believes Duncan is a changed man.

Dr. Wacksman tells the neighbors a somewhat different story, that Duncan will only be staying occasionally and only when he is supervised.

Dr. Wacksman then gives Duncan $6500. for legal expenses this April.

Ok so at this point Wacksman KNOWS Duncan has re-offended and IS NOT a changed man. Yet he still allows the man to visit him correct? and still gives the man financial support, correct?

Something is not right here.

I have been pondering and pondering why Duncan kept Shasta alive and why although she was molested she did not appear to have been beaten and/or tortured, burned etc.

Could it be that he took Dylan for his own needs and Shasta to pass on for money so he kept her in rather good physical condition so as not to "ruin" her for the next person. After all he was more into boys and I can't believe he kept Shasta around because he felt any sort of compassion or affection for her. Also was he working on making her compliant through threats and intimidation and testing her to see if she was obedient enough to pass on to someone safely?

Were his "friends" also perhaps customers for something only he could provide? Was the good doctor one of them? I see no other explanation for their relationship honestly.

That is a creepy thought! I also wondered why someone who had a history of molesting boys would kidnap a girl and keep her alive. Hmmmm...wonder if $6,500 is enough to "buy" a child. (Oh yeah - that was for LEGAL FEES).

[Shazzie]

Re: Bringing Duncan to Fargo............Don't know if he did or not, that was just what the blogger said.
True, but it fits everything else we know. Duncan was a long way from Fargo when he was relased from prison, and Fargo isn't the kind of place that attracts lots of people migrating from other states. There has to be some reason he went there, out of all the places in this huge country that he could have chosen. We don't know of any connection Duncan had with Fargo other than Wacksman, and we know that Wacksman has helped him out financially on at least one occasion. I'd bet anything Wacksman was the reason Duncan ended up in Fargo. It just makes sense.

[Shazzie]

Not really. As a doctor, he was part of the "upper crust" in Fargo. People like that get asked to serve on all kinds of boards and committees.

YakwomanAll true.

In this case, Wacksman seems to have held a teaching appointment in the medical school at NDSU, not an unsual thing for a physician who practiced in the community where the school was located.

That is a creepy thought! I also wondered why someone who had a history of molesting boys would kidnap a girl and keep her alive. Hmmmm...wonder if $6,500 is enough to "buy" a child. (Oh yeah - that was for LEGAL FEES).

Of course I am not sure anything was amiss with the good doctors intentions. I just have wonder why when Duncan proved to not be a "changed man" and got caught offending again..... why at that point did the good doctor not write Duncan off and stop helping him altogether? Seems like a doctor would not risk his own good character to help a man who has proven that he still has a problem and is still committing crimes against children.

I cannot make sense of the good doctor not leaving Duncan to fend for himself after finding out that Duncan was still commiting crimes. I mean I can perhaps forgive that he truly once upon a time did believe Duncan to be trying to rebuild his life....but after Duncan messed up...what was the incentive to help him any longer? None that I can see that makes sense and/or is innocent.

Port Richey Florida is 57 miles from Plant City the location of the Strawberry Festival in Florida, also in the area of Tampa and Orlando. I would believe that this is the person Duncan visited at the end of Feb. 2004. R
I'm sure he's the one.

From an article on items found when Duncan's home was searched:

http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=96917&section=News

Officers also found what was described on an inventory sheet as a "letter sent to Dr. Wacksman."
Other documents obtained from the Fargo Police Department show Duncan is friends with a former Fargo area doctor, Richard Wacksman, who now lives in New Port Richey, Fla.

Duncan, who likes to scuba dive, visited Wacksman in March, according to the police documents.

[less0305]

All of this info may be old news......but I thought this was an interesting piece on the relationship, also has a photo of the doc.

Okay so do I have this right?

Dr. Wacksman spoke up for this guy in 1997 at a parole hearing saying he would let him live with him and will support him financially. Dr. Wacksman does this because he supposedly believes Duncan is a changed man.

Dr. Wacksman tells the neighbors a somewhat different story, that Duncan will only be staying occasionally and only when he is supervised.

Dr. Wacksman then gives Duncan $6500. for legal expenses this April.

Ok so at this point Wacksman KNOWS Duncan has re-offended and IS NOT a changed man. Yet he still allows the man to visit him correct? and still gives the man financial support, correct?

Something is not right here.

I have been pondering and pondering why Duncan kept Shasta alive and why although she was molested she did not appear to have been beaten and/or tortured, burned etc.

Could it be that he took Dylan for his own needs and Shasta to pass on for money so he kept her in rather good physical condition so as not to "ruin" her for the next person. After all he was more into boys and I can't believe he kept Shasta around because he felt any sort of compassion or affection for her. Also was he working on making her compliant through threats and intimidation and testing her to see if she was obedient enough to pass on to someone safely?

Were his "friends" also perhaps customers for something only he could provide? Was the good doctor one of them? I see no other explanation for their relationship honestly.I don't know about rings or customers or anything, but...

While Duncan is known to have preferred boys, according to the news stories I've read, Shasta has said he raped BOTH her and Dylan. :sick:

Now, that doesn't address the question of why he kept her alive all this time, much less why he took her out in public at a location so close to her home, but I think it tells us he was getting something out of having her around. :furious:

I am devastated for this little girl....and all I can think of is this sicko video taping the rape of these children for distribution to his "friends." Remember that POS Westerfield had child rape computer images.

[Vet4Bush]

I wonder if Wacksman plans to testify for Duncan in the future. Wacksman needs to come under close scrutiny by Florida justice department officials.

I have sent an email to Jeb Bush to look into this "doctor".
The doctor's email is rwacksman@earthlink.net (rwacksman@earthlink.net) and I have sent a copy of my mail to Bush to him.

My thoughts exactly. I cannot fathom anything "innocent" in these actions over the years. It'll be interesting to see what the good Doc has to say...I'm sure we'll be hearing something from him soon......

Good doc looks pretty young...I come back to WHY so many licenses in different states...why so much moving around? And especially if he's currently living in Florida, but has no priveleges in any hospitals, medical plans, etc. HOW is he supporting himself (and family?)

:slap: I figure maybe that's the only way someone will be "approved" to communicate with him :banghead:

I know, I know, we don't know what's up with this Doctor, so he may be completely innocent and a kind-hearted guy. I will apologize when/if we find out the rest of the story of his relationship with Duncan, and that it was purely innocent. Until then, I'm waiting before I apologize.

Duncan did refer to the family in his blog and how they knew of his past and didn't care. He also said something about if they knew about certain events that would change (or something to that effect). Interesting reading about the doctor and his family.

Didn't care?! Well...we've got options here...either he's lying; delusional; or the family is delusional, or worse.

Well we know he was delusional. I don't know about the family, I am expecting to see some announcement from them soon. The statement he made about the family was made before the Minn. case and the Dr. gave him the $6,500 after he was arrested for that. So the "good" doctor was either very delusional or participating.

[DEPUTYDAWG]

(snip). So the "good" doctor was either very delusional or participating.


Can we vote for "both of the above?" :doh:

[BillyGoatGruff]

Duncan's blog mentioned a "Dr. friend" and he visited a friend in Fla. at one time. Possible that both blog entries he is referring to this guy then.
Odd that a pediatrician would befriend a pedofile wouldn't you say?
Since I know someone who was molested by his pediatrican from the ages of 3-7...sadly no, it does not sound that strange.

[BillyGoatGruff]

It is way too easy to jump to conclusions for all of us.

However, I believe that I read in Duncan's Blog (my words) that he had made friends with people that believed in him and he could never let them know about his past.

Anyone else remember this reference?

Let's give the doctor a pass until we know more.well, since he was payingfor Duncan's legal bills, it is probably safe to assume he knew his background.
Also, word to the wise, do not believe a word a pedophile says about himself. Ever. Unless cross-checked by two other sources.

If a pedofile tells you it is raining, go stick your hand out the door to check.

[Beyond Belief]

I was just wondering. The strawberry festival in florida, which duncan may have attended with the doctor, had music performances. That weekend it had
Thursday, February 26th 2004
LARRY GATLIN AND THE GATLIN BROTHERS (Senior Citizen's Day)
Friday, February 27th
TRICK PONY
Saturday, February 28th
TRACY BYRD
Sunday, February 29th
LONESTAR

These groups tour alot. I wonder if Duncan and the doctor had the same interest in music. I see these same groups tour Idaho.
Just curious. imo

I assumed the girlwas kept alive for trading to a hetero pedo from the start.We may learn more about the underground railroad in child sex-slavery in this case than we'd ever want to know.

I tend to agree with you on this. Since his penchant was for young boys, I can only assume that his interest in Shasta probably was for trading purposes. Either to sell videos and pictures, trade videos and pictures, or to eventually sell Shasta. And as for him raping Shasta when he has tendencies towards young boys, as sick as it may sound, I'm sure if he sodomized her he fantasized that he was with a young boy. And as I said in a previous post somewhere, I also believe he possibly video taped himself raping her for possible sale. It's all too sickening to think about, but I'm agreeing that I hope if anything else comes out of this, that LE find a trail to other persons of interest in this sick circle!!!!! And let's hope that a huge circle of sexual predators and sickos is BUSTED wide open!!!

I thought the same thing. The doctor could have molested children patients, we unfortunately do not know his background. Hopefully he did not.



I agree with you and also think the children patients of that doctor need to be reexamined by another doctor just to be safe. I think family members should know that their pediatrician helped fund a pedophile's lifestyle.
i actually wonder what anyone would want to befriend a pedophile-I mean if the perp is your relative you are stuck with him-but what interest would anyone have in a person who committed the first crime and then how can he say that duncan is a changed man if he is back in court?? That doesnt make an ounce of sense- I say the doctor has his own needs to meet if he has to befriend a pedophile-but I say that about anyone who would.
I know I wouldnt, (thats if I knew that he or she was), and I did not know them from years of growing up as a friend). But I doubt I would even be able to be more than cordial with a pedophile even if he had once been a friend. (or she).

they should gather them all up and put them on an island like alcatraz..I am serious. They should never be allowed out, (there could be degrees but if you are violent in the rape thats it no second chance).
If you are not violent maybe one chance just in case..but thats it- not 3 chances ever.
This guy is the sick of the sick..he is really evil- I have to say I despise him more than scott pretenderson and I did not htink that was possible.

A few things about the picture of the Doc. I have come to the conclusion it's about 10 years old. Give or take a few. And this doctor just wasn't un croncerned for his own kids... Duncan refers to a visit to his home in Fl where they went to Disney. I am currently working on creating a list of dates and places he has blogged about being at. Would love to see how many other crimes he may have tries to get away with.

Yeah, I too wonder why you would befriend a known pedophile. I mean, the Dr. had to know, no doubt about it.
I tend to think they were "more than friends". Perhaps the doctor is involved in this geo caching and they set people up and take their kids :(

You never know ... there are sick people out there. :mad:

[BillyGoatGruff]

It has been widely reported in the media that both Shasta and Dylan were raped multiple times.
As sick as it may sound, the younger the child the less likely the gender matters. There isn't a great deal of difference between pre-pub males & females, especially in their faces and general build. Duncan clearly prefers males (he's raped at least a dozen by his own admittance), so due to her age and build Shasta may have been "close enough for jazz". But he clearly had some other use for her, because she was still alive.

Shouldn't he have been committed?? And what about the mental hospital that just "let him go" because he wasn't cooperating???? GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:

The problem lies in the fact the many times only those who are found guilty by insanity are "committed". And as sick as his actions are to the rest of us... it doesn't always make him "sick enough" in the eyes of the court. I do believe that with his blog ending in all his talk of "demons" in him that he will try to plead insanity. This is NOT what we want. He is a pervert. But if you read enough of him you can tell this is a man that plans things out. He prepares for everything. Those going with an "insanity" plead say they where in another mental state unable to stop, control or even realize what they where doing. That doesn't fit the Duncan I have been reading. Plus many stated don't hand out death sentences for the "insane".

The doctors he admitted his actions to did report them, to the parole board, and to those that gave him a level three rating for being a sex offender. The problem lies with a parole board that released him 4 (or six... I can't remember which one right now) early. And to many others that lacked the common sense to keep this man locked up for the rest of his life.

[lostinlimaohio]

Aunt Blabby..His medical license expired in North Dakota a couple years ago. He isn't affiliated with a clinic or hospital in Florida where he resides. I'm still trying to find out where he gets his money from if he isn't doctoring. Interesting he would still be in the phone book after several years.

Maybe you'll want to bring the digital if you have one. :)
I believe that he may have mentioned that the Doctors wife was also a doc... on a entry in his blog. Will double check this before I say for sure though.

¶ 6:57 AM (http://fifthnail.blogspot.com/2004/01/well-here-i-am-at-work-monday-morning.php)
http://www.fifthnail.com/images/frontpagenews_s.jpgWell, here I am, at work Monday morning ready to start another week. I made arrangements this weekend to fly down to Florida on Feb 25th to visit a good friend near Tampa Bay. He and his wife are both Doctors, and fairly well off. I met him years ago while I was a fugitive in San Francisco. He was apparently impressed with my straight forward honesty and struggle to overcome my circumstance, so he took up my plight and we have become great friends since.
He has not only taken on my struggle, but as a result he and his family have been subject to public derision for their mere association with a Sex Offender. When my case hit front page news, his picture was on the front page right next to mine just because the paper learned that he had appeared at a parole hearing on my behalf! Because He was well known in the community we think the paper was trying to create a scandal. Fortunately they failed; All they succeeded in doing was hurting a very upstanding family that deserved no such ridicule. My friend and his family eventually packed their bags and moved to Florida where they have roots. So, that is where I'm going next month to visit, take in some of the attractions, and go for a cruise or two on my friends new "boat." I'm really looking forward to seeing him and his family again, it has been a while since they moved."

The talk of demons (using your word), refers to thinking of him as evil..thats pretty clear-we think he is evil sick - not crazy sick-he is well within his faculties to have planned such a crime. He is not in need of a mental institution-he belongs in the bowels of a death row block in SQ.
I do not think most people here are that unaware of the difference -we are pretty sharp and we know the differnce.
it also doesnt matter an iota what we say-noone is listening. The prosecution wont be talking to us- I guess I do not see the point of your post?
We talk here-we hash things out-we call monsters evil-demons, sicko's etc. Noone here would buy an insanity pleas.

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that a formal interdisciplinary team approach to managing ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation enhances ICU efficiency. DESIGN: Retrospective review with cost-effectiveness analysis. SETTING: A 20-bed medical-surgical ICU in a 450-bed community referral teaching hospital with a critical care fellowship training program.

The talk of demons (using your word), refers to thinking of him as evil..thats pretty clear-we think he is evil sick - not crazy sick-he is well within his faculties to have planned such a crime. He is not in need of a mental institution-he belongs in the bowels of a death row block in SQ.
I do not think most people here are that unaware of the difference -we are pretty sharp and we know the differnce.
it also doesnt matter an iota what we say-noone is listening. The prosecution wont be talking to us- I guess I do not see the point of your post?
We talk here-we hash things out-we call monsters evil-demons, sicko's etc. Noone here would buy an insanity pleas.
Sorry, I was refering to why he hadn't been committed on previous charges for life...

The comments on demons came from him, I only refered to it as a point of his condition which he claims to be mentally ill sick... indirectly written by him though.In 1990, the Washington state Legislature passed a law authorizing involuntary civil commitment of violent sexual predators after they complete their prison sentences. HOWEVER they had to be proven that it was HIGHLY likely they would reoffend. Because the only evidence the state had was his one charge... they wouldn't refer his case to the Atty General on just what his doctors thought. He most likely would not be able to be refered to the program after these charges because I'd say they are going for the Death Pen. The only way out of a DP would be insanity pleads. Which is basicly why I think he concocked his "demons".

:silenced:I wasn't for a second doubting anyones sharpness. Just commenting on why he wasn't put in a institution to begin with.

His wife probably is a Dr. too. I just never checked in our staff directory. And of course they are now long gone. I am sure about the pharmacist though as I get most of my meds at the hospital pharmacy and she filled many of them when they lived here. I checked on the listing in the phone book under his name and it is a number for Critical Care. I'm guessing they have probably changed the number as they were getting quite a few "innapropriate" calls.

I can't for the life of me, anywhere in my pea-sized brain understand why someone would risk everything to give that much help to a POS like Duncan.This Dr. served on various boards and commitees, taught some classes at NDSU and was higly respected in the community. Not to even mention the risk to his wife and children. How many of us would do this for a Level 3 sex offender/fugitive that we met at a coffee shop a long way from home?? Yikes.....there has to be much more to this story and I sure hope it comes out.

Me thinks the good doc's patient/client list will dry up dramatically in the very near future!!!!!!!!!!

Amen!! And IMO pedophiles/child molestors/rapists ARE terrorists. They are terrorizing our children and women...what's the difference? It's not on a large scale but it's still terrorism IMO.
I am as outraged as anyone else, believe me--but there IS a difference. I just posted about this in the Letter to Congress thread, but I'll add something here as well...

As terrifying as psychopathic sex offenders are, random acts of vio
