Man Driving With Wife's Severed Head Crashes Car, Killing 2

BOISE, Idaho — The severed head of a man's wife flew from his pickup truck Thursday after he crashed into an oncoming car, killing the driver and her child, police said.

The investigation of the deadly wreck and the head, which was tossed onto the roadway by the impact, led police to the decapitated body of 47-year-old Theresa N. Time in the garage of the home she shared with her husband, Alofa Time, said Nampa police Lt. LeRoy Forsman.

Time, who was not injured in the crash, told officers that he also was involved his wife's death, officials said.

A Boise police officer was driving behind Time's truck on a busy road when he noticed the man's erratic driving and then watched him slam into the car, said police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.

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 car accident victims Samantha Nina Murphy, 36, and her 4-year-old daughter Jae Lynne Grimes, both of Boise. Murphy's other daughter was injured and was in stable condition at a Boise hospital.

"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."

Yeah, the crash happened about a mile away from where I live and I saw it on the news last night and was quite mortified by it. The whole community is pretty stunned by it but more on the fact that someone could so something like this. I guess when the police found this guys wife last night, all they found was the body sitting upright in the car....with no head obviously.

what is up with that? I couldn't imagine being that close to something like that, Thai. That kind of shit just gives me the creeps. Some twisted people living in our world, for sure...

Okay, so maybe he was mad at his wife because she didn't bring him his slippers or something, but killing her and driving around with her severed head? Hmmmm....

Was the guy drunk or high on drugs? They don't mention anything in the article but one would assume that he was intoxicated to some degree to do something like that.

Something in this guy had to have just snapped!!

They never stated that he was or not, they did say on the news that when he ran into oncoming traffic he was attempting to commit suicide, not kill anyone else. But do it by running his truck into a Nissan Sentra???? At least this nutjob is off the streets.
