Nick Chamberlain walked with his former high-school sweetheart into the woods behind Service High School on Monday during lunch break with the promise of a silver ring, told her to close her eyes and lift her head, then plunged a pocket knife into her neck, according to documents filed in court Tuesday charging him with attempted murder.
He continued stabbing the girl until he had inflicted 29 wounds, the documents say.
The attack was so brutal that at one point he bent the 2 1/2 inch blade of the folding knife he was using. The attack ended only after a skier confronted the 16-year-old student, who shouted curses and slashed at the man, spattering the witness's glasses with blood. The boy then walked off into the woods, according to court documents.
....
According to the documents, Chamberlain told police he had been dating the girl for about nine months but that the pair broke up a week ago and she was seeing someone else. He planned to give her a ring on Monday, he told police, and lured her out with that promise. Whether there really was a ring remained unclear.
"He claims that there was," Assistant District Attorney Clint Campion said Tuesday, adding that the investigation is ongoing. "We haven't found it yet."
According to an affidavit Campion filed in court, Chamberlain told the girl to stand under a tree near the school just before noon with her eyes closed and head lifted while he performed a "magic trick." The girl, however, was cold and wanted to go back inside.
"He took the knife out of his pants pocket while her eyes were closed, opened the blade and plunged it into the left side of her neck," Campion wrote. "He heard (the girl) screaming and begging (him) to stop. He kept stabbing her as she screamed and even when confronted by witnesses. ... At one point, he admitted that the knife blade bent as he stabbed her in the skull, so he put that blade away and opened a saw-type blade, continuing to stab her."

Victim of Service High stabbing may leave hospital soon
Lory Miebs, 17, was stabbed at least 29 times by her ex-boyfriend after he lured her to the woods behind the school with the promise of a silver ring, according to police and prosecutors. Miebs suffered injuries to her head, neck, back, arms and legs and was initially listed in critical condition, though she was stabilized after undergoing surgery, police said.
In a brief phone interview Wednesday, her mother, Lynn Miebs, said Lory is alert, conscious and holding up pretty well, considering the circumstances. She's still in the hospital but could be released in the next few days, her mother said.
"She's doing well," Lynn Miebs said. "We appreciate all the prayers and all the support from the school, from everyone in the community."
