Severed head flies from truck in 'bizarre and tragic' collision

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A man transporting his wife's severed head in a pickup truck collided with 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 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 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.

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 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."

did you hear the one about the time that boeing 747 spiralled out of the sky on a collision course with a convoy of fuel trucks as they passed a farm built on a fault line where tectonic plates in the earth's crust had just begun to shift as deaf old farmer brown attempted to light his stove whilst unaware of a gas leak?

he should have had the severed head secured in the vehicle and it wouldn't have flown out onto the road

you ever have to take those courses to get a ticket expunged from your record? they show the most ghastly videos of crashes (severed heads and limbs), scaring the shit into you so you'll drive better. it helped me for a week.

Reminds me of House of the Spirits by Allende, this one character's head flies off in a car crash only to be found later by her daughter's psychic intuition, like many miles from where the crash occurred... uh it was magical realism.

Didn't they make a movie about that?
I have a distinct memory of Merryl Streep walking around trying to sense a severed head.

Seriously.

They made a movie about it that I was told was awful, I never watched it. The book wasn't to my liking but presumably far better than the movie.
