Idaho teen scalped after slight
By REBECCA BOONE
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
BOISE, Idaho -- A 16-year-old Idaho girl was tied up and scalped by an older woman in an attack motivated by revenge, police said.
Authorities are searching for Marianne Dahle, 26, who was visiting Kirkham Hot Springs in central Idaho Jan. 18 with the girl and a friend when Dahle allegedly tied the girl up and cut away the entire crown and back portion of her scalp.
A felony arrest warrant accuses Dahle of aggravated battery, though she has not been formally charged.
"When I say this gal was scalped, she was truly scalped," said Boise County Chief Deputy Bill Braddock. "The top of her head, her hair, was completely cut off. The motive, as near as we've been told by witnesses, was retaliation for acting in a way that the adult perceived as being offensive to women as a gender."
The girl is recovering at home. Police would not release many details - including the victim's name - for fear it would harm the prosecution's case. Braddock said he only agreed to discuss the incident because the public could help authorities find Dahle, who has been missing since the alleged assault.
Braddock said the victim, the suspect and the female teen witness were "long-term" acquaintances. No drugs or alcohol were involved in the attack, he said.
"It was an act of revenge. I view this as a case where an adult female is using predatory control - both psychological and sexual - toward juvenile victims. There are definitely sexual overtones to this crime," Braddock said.
Police were alerted to the case after Dahle allegedly dropped the teen off at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, perhaps fearing the girl would die, Braddock said. Though authorities were able to recover the scalp, which had been left behind at the hot springs, doctors were not able to reattach it, he said. After being hospitalized for several days, the teen was released to recover at home.
"I've been doing this for 32 years now and this is certainly a very unusual case," Braddock said. "I've never even heard of another scalping. I really do think this is an aberration, of one very controlling female who preys on young juvenile females."
The teens and Dahle had gone to the hot springs about 70 miles northeast of Boise, apparently just planning on a soak at the national forest campground, Braddock said.
The hot springs, made by a cascade of hot water forming small pools at the base of a cliff, are popular with campers and hikers. But during mid-week in the winter, Braddock said, visitors can count on near total seclusion.
"When I got there it was after midnight and very cold out, about 9 degrees. I found a lot of physical evidence consistent with information that we were given, including the scalp itself, which was near one of the hot pools," he said.
The case has been difficult to investigate because it has taken deputies some time to win the trust of witnesses and friends of the victim. The teens and Dahle allegedly hang out with a counter-culture punk clique, Braddock said, and some witnesses are fearful of retaliation.
"Everybody in this case is very fragile and they're worried about how they're going to be judged by their peers," Braddock said. "I have to be very protective of my victim and others who are cooperating."
Authorties say Dahle is believed to be armed with a knife and staying somewhere in the Caldwell area, driving a four-door, white 1995 Mercury Tracer. Dahle was described as 5-foot-8, about 140 pounds and with brown hair. Police say Dahle may have shaved her hair except for her bangs.
Though Idaho's mayhem law bans "depriving a human being of a member of his body," Braddock said he expected Dahle would be charged with aggravated battery, which carries the same maximum sentence of 14 years but requires a lesser burden of proof in court.

Sorry Kitty, I'm sure I have. The whole name change thing must have thrown me for a loop.
Speaking of which, I think I'm going to try and find and revive the magic 8 ball thread. Some good times (and some not so good ones) were had in there.

It ain't no thing, Mike.
That the first time I've called any other forumer besides Kathryn, Brian, Nathan, or Dean by their actualy name. Have I crossed a line? If so, I'm willing to take it back.
Edit: Oh, and I just noticed, congrats on passing Dean on the list of biggest poster. Now that I think about it, should I really be congratulating you?

Smilies well and truly back for this one.
I have NEVER been so shocked in my time here.
I am sorry to say, that is the funniest thing I have read since coming here, but only 'cos it is so shocking from that source. I really don't know what else to say.
Life really is full of surprises.
EDIT: Sorry Sir Rock, I am not refering to your post, but the one above.

I'm with Kim on this one, being utterly disgusted. Perhaps I'm sheltered from a lot of what exists in the world, but scalping is about as bad as it comes in my book. Skin, removed from head with a blunt tomahawk. Ugh, makes me cringe.

But I did think you looked cute.
But I do apologize if I offended you. Again.

Not so much shocking as downright fucking gory and cruel and sick.
I mean, she scalped her, man!
She tied her up, took a knife and cut the skin and hair from the girl's head!
Is that not just plain old fucking SICK or what?
They couldn't reattach it either.
This means she's gonna spend the rest for life in a wig.
Its just so...I don't know...barbaric? |

I once had a lesbian come onto to me in a hot tub. While I was trying to work off at the gym my rage during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. I
was so pissed that someone would dare interrupt my moment of zen that I almost socked her.

I'd like top hear the story behinds the story.
Maybe a good after school special.
Message to impressionable young, punk rock lesbians?
Stay away from Tomahawk weilding bull dykes with bad attitudes that love relaxing in hot tubs.

Aggravated Battery? That's putting it mildly.
Bloody hell, I think that's one of the worse things i've read all year.
And she was concious while all this was going on. Ow! |
