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.

Police: Idaho Teen Is Tied Up and Scalped Tue Feb 8, 5:20 PM ET U.S. National - AP BOISE, Idaho - A 16-year-old girl was allegedly tied up and scalped with a 4-inch knife in what police say may have been an act of revenge by another woman. The girl, who had a punk-style mohawk haircut before the attack, is recovering at home. Doctors could not reattach her scalp, which was found near a hot spring. Police searched for Marianne Dahle, 26, who disappeared after the Jan. 18 attack at Kirkham Hot Springs, about 70 miles from Boise. "When I say this gal was scalped, she was truly scalped," said Chief Deputy Bill Braddock. "The top of her head, her hair, was completely cut off." Dahle and the victim, whose name was not released, were longtime acquaintances and hung out with a punk clique, he said. "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," Braddock said. "According to their creed, if you disrespect women you are not allowed to wear a mohawk."

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) It was called profit-sharing. I don't know if it's the same thing or not... They were taking funds out of your check WITHOUT your permission... is that correct..? You need to call an employment attny. I don't know any details about the laws, but I know that is wrong, and I think on a federal level.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) Also check to see if they were deducting -or- this was a benefit and just company monies. Rare, but possible. A person that worked for me had that situation with her previous company. IIRC there are IRS guidelines about top heavy plans, common in places like Doctors offices where the Doc tosses in $$$$ and the employees do not participate. So the Doc needed more participation and contributed regardless of the employee's particpation. (More if they particpated) He did say deducting..

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Same thing happened to me. I had a second job and they were taking money out when I didn't even want them to. I got a check when I quit and had to pay penalties because of early withdrawl. It was only $30 so I'm not going to make a big fuss over it though... They were deducting 401K funds WITHOUT your permission..?? Umm.. you better make a fuss about it. It's against the law and you should report them.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Wooh, good. Brian's last company f***ed him on his. He filled out all the paperwork and his current company sent it in, but they still cut him the check (something like 1/3 of it went to taxes and penalties). If he filled out the paperwork and has copies (which he should have) he can recover that $$. IIRC he has 3 years to do so.

Mike's right. No penalties for rolling it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:05 AM) The 70 was defered but much longer than 2 years which was the sticky point. That was also before Maggs brought in Boras. He brought in Boras after the injury, and in hindsight was a smart move. Boras had done a similar contract with I-Rod. You got a link for that..? I was told year 4 and 5 had deferments of 2 years. Boras was brought on board loooong before Maggs was injured. Just wasn't announced until much later.

"I started looking at each piece of information, and with that came this sickening realization that there have been many occurrences in my life and in my relationship to Michael that have created a question of doubt."

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) KW quotes: "We offered him $60 million -- and all cash -- before he got hurt, and after he was hurt, we offered him the same and he turned it down. We had to go on our way, and once he became a free agent, they stopped giving us information. I hope he's OK. I hope he can play. I also hope he doesn't hurt us." He doesn't mention yrs. I think he's rounded it off from the 58/4 deal that was confirmed last summer. The 70/5 was never confirmed. That was a NY Post rumor. JR quotes. And you're right.. years are not mentioned.

You guys are crazy!

QUOTE(bigredrudy @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Read the main story on the Sox website. JR is quoted in the story as saying it was 60/5 and it was all cash. Check it out. I knew it was 60 cash. Thanks.

QUOTE(bigredrudy @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) I thought the final deal for Maggs was 6o/5 or 12000 per year. I thought it was for 4 years.. he wanted 5 and that's where the 70 million with it deferred for 2 years came into play..?

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) I'm done with Maggs. We discussed this at dinner tonight. Remember Gonzo & CLE that year? They had talked during that offseason & Gonzo assured them he would not accept arbitration so they offered it any ways & got the picks when he signed elsewhere. Maggs says he was waiting for the Sox to offer arbitration .. now after the fact. What prevented him from calling KW up & saying go ahead & offer me arbitration. If your medical staff doesn't think I'll be ready to play I'll decline it. You have my word on that. The picks will be my parting gift to the Sox. If you think I'll be ready to play it will give me until late Feb to decide to accept. It just makes no sense that a player who was offered a 58/4 deal after the edema was discovered would choose arbitration over that deal. The Sox would have gladly restructured the 58/4 to give Maggs an out clause after 1 yr & the 14.5M is more than he would get in arbitration. Logic & common sense are on KW's side here. Maggs may not be a liar per-se but he certainly lacks sincerity. I know you said you're done but I want to ask you a question.. don't you think the Sox had the right to know BEFORE they offer arbitration the results of Maggs surgery..? Don't you think they should have gotten that info first...? Also.. it was 4/60 by the way.
