A manhunt is under way in Idaho for a red Ford Escort with Colorado license plates -- after a man allegedly stabbed his 12-year-old daughter while they were on a camping trip in Idaho.

Sheriff's officials in Idaho said the girl had numerous stab wounds all over her body when passers-by found her tied and bound along a rural road north of Wallace, Idaho, late Wednesday.

A medical helicopter airlifted the girl to a hospital in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, about 90 miles away. She reportedly had life-threatening injuries.

Criminal records obtained by 7News show Tuggle served nine years in an Idaho prison for raping a minor. He was released from prison in January 2004.

Tuggle is described as 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He also has a goatee.

He's believed to be driving a 1989 Ford Escort, with Colorado plate number 329-JXG. The license plate is registered to Tuggle, according to motor vehicle records.

Tuggle should be considered armed and dangerous, authorities said, as he is known to carry large knives. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/4751859/detail.html

It's even worse than that kk's mom! On my news last night, it was reported he not only stabbed her, but raped her as well. I guess that is being squelched now, because the names of rape victims are usually not released.

He allegedly was taking her to the mall but ended up in the woods near the city of Kellogg, Idaho.

Another sex offender released to repeat his atrocities yet again!

Be on the lookout for:

John Tuggle
37 years old
6 ft tall, 200 lbs
blue eyes, brown hair

Driving a Red Ford Escort
Colorado plates 329 JXG
(considered to be ARMED & DANGEROUS)

He apparently left her for dead but some nice folks happened upon her and heard her screaming for help.
Last I heard, in the wee hours of this morning, she was still in surgery.
 
That poor girl! can you imagine the horror & pain? it is a miracle she was found on the roadside and is still alive.

I hate to ask, but where is her Mom?

Really, Casshew --- after not seeing him for 10 years and then that!

Haven't heard anything about "mom" yet. Maybe on tonight's news.

What a piece of "you know what". Don't worry, they'll ge him soon. Unfreakingbelievable. Another sex offender released into society who (most likely) raped his daughter and left her for dead. WHEN IS THE SYSTEM GOING TO LEARN? I'm really starting to get mad............
 
If this turns out to be yet another case where the mom let the SOB back into her home because she loved him or didn't want to be alone, I think I'm going to have to throw my computer thru the wall.

Can't say for sure, but I don't think it is, Mabel. I can't believe she'd take him back after he raped her underage sister, but you never know.

Here is a quote from the krem link above:

Tuggle was convicted in 1995 for the statutory rape of his sister-in-law in Shoshone County, Idaho. Tuggle?s father-in-law wrote a letter to the judge during the sentencing phase for his statutory rape conviction in which he claimed seeing Tuggle beat both his wife and daughter.

He was subsequently sentenced and served almost nine years in prison. He was released from an Idaho prison in January of 2004 and moved to Colorado where his brother lives.

Tuggle had traveled to North Idaho from Hayden, Colorado for a four-day visit to see his daughter, who he apparently hadn't seen in ten years. He told his daughter he was taking her to the mall but took her up into the woods instead, where he allegedly stabbed her five to six times and left her there.
 
He isn't charged with kidnapping, so I am assuming that he had Mom's consent to have her. Stupid people!

This is unbelievably horrid.What a monster in all sense of the word. Hope he is put away for the rest of his natural life.
 
News at five ...

There was nothing said about the girls mother.
Tuggle picked her up with alleged intentions of taking her to the mall. He took her up into the mountains instead. The sheriff said that IF it hadn't been for those people, looking for a place to camp, discovering the girl, he felt sure the girl would have died.

The phone number to call if this creep Tuggle is spotted is 208-556-1983.

Oh, almost forgot ... this little girl attended the same school, Fernan Elementary, as Shasta and Dylan Groene! Those poor little children are being subjected to entirely too much trauma, in their young lives!

What is it with these guys??!!??
In Fla. right after Jessica L. there was a rash of abductions and attempted abductions. It is like the news stirs them into a frenzy or something!

I do often think that's true, mysteriew.
 
There is a $10 million dollar warrant out for his arrest.

She is recovering from almost bleeding to death. At 6pm PDT, the girl was conscious and being interviewed by federal investigators.

He stabbed his daughter 6 or 7 times yesterday afternoon around 1 pm. She crawled off into the woods and he drove away. Five or six hours later she was found by the people searching for a good campsite, when they heard her screams.

God bless her heart!
 
The girl was covered with stab wounds and was in critical condition at Sacred Heart Medical Center in nearby Spokane, Wash., Reynalds said. She is expected to live.

Reynalds said the girl was found lying in brush alongside a road in the Lost Creek drainage, north of Wallace, by people who said they heard her yell as they were searching for a campsite. She was bound and had stab wounds "all over" her body, Reynalds said Tuggle was believed to be driving a red 1989 Ford Escort with Colorado license plates and "is known to carry large knives on his person and in his vehicle," the sheriff's office said on a wanted poster.

In Colorado, Routt County Sheriff John Warner said Tuggle was living outside of Hayden, Colo., with his brother, Chris.

He registered as a sex offender in Routt County on Feb. 2, 2004, and has fully complied with Colorado law regarding his sex offender status, Warner said.

Tuggle most recently worked as a painter in Steamboat Springs, Colo.

Wondering if there is any news of the capture of this vile piece of crap. There is no mention of her mother or other relatives , etc. That confuses me. This guy has probably stolen another vehicle by now. I can't believe the mother let her go anywhere with this guy by herself when he hadn't seen her in 10 years and the biggie of him getting out of prison after 9 years on rape charges. Unfreakingbelievable.
 
Just found an update in the cdapress.com. This guy is a piece of work. He raped his ex-wife's younger sister and was sentenced to 9 years "statuatory rape" and after his release, they didn't think he needed to be supervised, he only had to register??? WTF????

Here's an excerpt:

Tuggle, a registered sex offender, lived in the Silver Valley before he was sentenced to serve nine years with the Idaho Department of Correction in 1995. Tuggle was found guilty of statutory rape of his ex-wife's younger sister, who became pregnant from the incident.

Tuggle was released Jan. 30, 2004, and eventually moved to Colorado. He was not under state supervision except for the requirement to register as a sex offender.

Patrick Maroney, the agent in charge of the Colorado Bureau of Criminal Investigation's sex offender registry unit, said Tuggle had registered in his hometown of Hayden, Colo.

But his conviction in Idaho for rape of a child under 18 did not rise to the level necessary to place him on the state's Web site. Maroney said that law has since changed.
