June 16, 200619 yr By JESSE HARLAN ALDERMANASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BOISE, Idaho -- A man who had his wife's severed head in a pickup truck crashed into an oncoming car, killing a woman and her 4-year-old daughter, police said. The impact sent the head flying onto the road. A Boise police officer was driving behind Alofa Time's truck on a busy road early Thursday when he noticed the man's erratic driving and then watched him slam into the car, police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said. Time, 51, who was not injured, told officers he was involved in his wife's death, investigators said. After searching Time's house in Nampa, police found the decapitated body of 47-year-old Theresa N. Time in a car inside the garage, authorities said. She likely had been dead for several hours, Nampa Police Lt. LeRoy Forsman said. Authorities in Canyon County, a suburban area west of Boise, on Friday issued a first-degree murder warrant for Time. An autopsy was scheduled next week to determine Theresa Time's cause of death, Canyon County Coroner Vicki DeGeus-Morris said. Time was being held on two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Samantha Nina Murphy, 36, of Boise, and her daughter Jae Lynne Grimes. Murphy's other daughter was injured and was in fair condition at a Boise hospital. Time was to be arraigned on the second-degree murder charges Friday in Ada County Court in Boise. "It was one of the more horrific and complex crime scenes on memory," Hightower said. "A woman and her child killed in a crash, and a severed head from an earlier homicide: It's nothing short of bizarre and tragic." Investigators found broken beer bottles littered at the crash scene. A toxicology report will determine if alcohol played a role in the accident. According to court records, Alofa Time had a history of abuse. He faced domestic battery charges for an allegedly choking his wife in March. A trial already was set for July 25. A judge issued a no-contact order, which barred Time from seeing his wife. Theresa Time filed paperwork asking that the order be withdrawn. Last month, after she completed "safety planning classes" at a local crisis center, the no-contact order was lifted.

June 16, 200619 yr An autopsy was scheduled next week to determine Theresa Time's cause of death, Canyon County Coroner Vicki DeGeus-Morris said. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Usually when a person is decapitated it's kind of obvious how they died... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
June 16, 200619 yr Not really, they can be killed someway first, and then have their head cutoff. Current 3DMark
