The crazy violent grandson of Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless?

I couldn’t resist the WWW reference.

Who killed him and cut off his head?

[allendale]

He axed his wife. Her relatives axed him. Seems like justice served. Perhaps he was “aided” in his “escape” from jail.

Thanks Artemis Webb.

• The mother of two Idaho siblings missing since September is not cooperating with investigators, police say
• Idaho Needs More Power but Parts of Oregon Object. Utilities are trying to build lines to transport clean energy across states but face local resistance

[wally_bert]

Sometimes that’s about all I’m good for.

Prize accepted.

Loveless didn’t kill himself.

“Who killed him and cut off his head?”

I am going to guess it was someone from the wife’s family. Loveless probably contacted someone for help and they contacted the wife’s family. Or, whoever helped in the escape was the one who wanted revenge.

This was a time when almost everyone butchered their own meat and met out their own justice. Odd, though, they dismembered him. That’s what leads me to believe it was a revenge killing. If it was just your average killing, they wouldn’t even bother burying him.

Who killed him and cut off his head?

Cut off? Maybe the rope and drop were just a wee bit much and it popped off and was lost in the bushes?

[Fightin Whitey]

Arrest him, give a fair trial and hang him high!

Well...okay...shoot him full of holes!!

“Loveless’ remains were found in the cave four decades ago—but not his head—....”

I can tell them where to look first but Mr. Robinson would bleep me.

Yes, but even without his head, he was taller.

A man whose headless torso was found in a remote Idaho cave 40 years ago has finally been identified as Loveless, an outlaw who killed his wife with an ax and was last seen after escaping from jail in 1916.

He kind of looks like Freddy Krueger, before he acquired his scars. 8>)
