    Two Killed in Severed Head Crash in Idaho


    BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- The severed head of a man's wife flew from his pickup truck Thursday when 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.

    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, said police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.

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

    Maybe during the crash he should have yelled `Heads up!'

    It's not a good time to lose one's head.

    So this was one time when getting head was *not* enjoyable.

    Was this killer married to Jayne Mansfield at one point?

    Kipling would say, "If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing their heads..."
