Little girl had 40 puncture wounds and a snapped neck Pagan tattoos may match baby girl's wounds Photos of couple's religious markings studied in probe of toddler's death
Prosecutors have obtained photographs of a Springfield Township couple's neopagan tattoos in an effort to match the markings to puncture wounds on the woman's slain year-old daughter. Daniel Duffield and Vanessa McGlumphy are charged in connection with the neck-snapping death of McGlumphy's 13-month-old daughter Jacqueline Mae Cooper.
Aside from the fatal neck injury, the toddler's body was also riddled with more than 40 puncture wounds, 12 broken ribs and a lacerated liver. Prosecutors last week received permission from Summit County Common Pleas Judge Marvin Shapiro to photograph the couple to determine whether their religious tattoos match puncture wounds that appear on the toddler's feet.
According to court records, the child had puncture wounds on her foot in the shape of a Wicca or Celtic symbol.
In addition, prosecutors say that Duffield and McGlumphy told investigators that they wanted to raise the girl in their Wiccan faith, an earth-based religion sometimes called ``The Craft´´ or the ``The Craft of the Wise.´´
Duffield told investigators that he placed the Wiccan pentacle symbol on the girl's feet, prosecutors say. Photos of the couple's markings were taken last week at the Summit County Jail, where the two are being held. Duffield's tattoos include a skull and dagger, an anarchy symbol, a demon and a Celtic cross, prosecutors say. McGlumphy's include a goat head, Medusa and a she-devil.
Prosecutors say a needle containing the child's DNA was found near her crib around the time of her death. The child's puncture wounds, prosecutors contend, are evidence of abuse at the hands of Duffield and proof that McGlumphy ignored the girl's injuries. ``For (McGlumphy), Wicca is nothing but an appreciation and love of nature,´´ said defense lawyer Tom Adgate, who represents the woman. Adgate said his client ``didn´t notice -- and she didn´t condone´´ -- the symbol puncture wounds. ``And she doesn´t know when it was done.´´
Duffield's lawyers could not be reached for comment. Duffield, 32, is charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and felonious assault involving puncturing the girl's feet and face. McGlumphy, 25, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and child endangering. Each has pleaded not guilty.
Both are scheduled for trial Monday, but Duffield has asked for a delay to allow his lawyers more time to prepare for trial. Shapiro is expected to rule on the request in a hearing.
The toddler died Oct. 6 from either a dislocation at the top of the spine -- from blunt impact to the head -- or a ``hyperextension/hyperflexion´´ of the neck, according to autopsy reports.
On Tuesday, a juvenile court judge granted temporary custody of the girl's twin sister to McGlumphy's father. The arrangement was agreed to by the child's biological father.

Buddhism is as respectible as Christinity. Wicca, OTOH, is a relatively new invention.
snip...Buddhism is as respectable as Christianity
Only if you can close your eyes and mind to some pretty horrendous issues, for instance, females being considered subhuman and the present-day practice of infanticide (Chinese, Thais, and other Budhists still 'throw away' unwanted babies & children) When I lived on Okinawa, I learned that infanticide was still being practiced on at least one of the outlying islands. After they killed the unwanted baby or child {via drowning, leaving as food for predators, etc}, they "honored" the murdered child by creating a representational 'doll'. Nice, huh?!? As respectable as Christianity? NOT!!!!!!!!
That depends on the ideological lean of the judiciary, and the propagandists of the Left -- doesn't it?
The official position of Buddhist teachings is that life begins at conception and that abortion and infanticide are therefore morally wrong.
Are there Buddhists who violate this rule? Of course. There are also many Christians who also engage in abortion.
As for women being considered sub-human, please point out where that is taught in Buddhism.
sad
We were talking about the number of Muslims in our military.
Only a very tiny number have been anything less than completely honorable.
I think we should keep an eye on all things Islam, but I personally think we have some Muslims that are loyal to this country.
It's of little concilation to those who've had the misfortune of serving with that "tiny number," of whom paid the ultimate price for a llife and death ottery-system style, "diverse" Armed Forces.
Moeover, are you naive enough to believe the Muslim grenadier was the only Muslim soldier to frag out in either Afghanistan or Iraq? Since that incident, the public consumption quota of "incidents" has been hush-hushed.
"I think we should keep an eye on all things Islam, but I personally think we have some Muslims that are loyal to this country."
A small percentage of "disloyal" domestic Muslims is dangerous enough. You can be glad you and your family aren't Coptic Christian Arabs living in Jersey City.
There is no refuting THIS fact around the globe:
Eventually -- as per religious instruction -- ISLAM = DEATH.
I am sick and tired of the way you are talking to me.
Please do not post to me again on this thread. All I seem to be getting from you are attempted insults to my intelligence.
You are argumentative and unreasonable.
I understand your point. You wish to exterminate all Muslims.
Got it.
Buddhism sounds good, but ultimately leads to the things I gave as examples because it teaches each man to find his own 'salvation." It also teaches that mankind is really nothing but a collection of molecules destined to reside for eternity with other molecules. {Secular Humanism=matter} This strips mankind of any intrinsic value. Hence, abortion, infanticide, etc.
Reincarnation & karmic teachings say you're destined to return. That leads to a disinclination on the part of society to alleviate suffering, injustice, etc., because the sufferer was obviously destined to suffer in his present life {fatalism/karma}, and he'll be returning anyhow, so why become involved?
"Theravada teaches that each man is responsible for their own this is reached by ones self-effort; "Be lamps unto yourselves. Be a refuge unto yourselves. Do not turn to any external refuge.... Work out your own salvation with diligence" (Mahaparinibbana-sutta 2.33; 6:10; from the Pali Canon)
In real terms this means that man is a moral sovereign unto himself, which is exactly the same reasoning employed by Secular Humanists. Buddhism and Secular Humanism are quite similar in their doctrinal beliefs, thus between Secular Humanism and New Age {neo-Buddhism/Hinduism/mysticism} America has been regressing into the ways of pantheism.......abortion, infanticide, child abandonment, euthanasia, sexualization of our culture, nature worship at the expense of mankind {Greens}, and so on. You said, "Many Christians engage in abortion." That is true. But they're doing that 'in spite' of and not "because of" Christian teachings. They are followers who have "fallen away" from Biblical teaching because they've become influenced by our Secular Humanist/New Age culture.
Don't be silly. There is no right to maim or kill as part of a religion. That is called assault and murder and is illegal already.
WOW!!!
There is a concept. Let's stay out of peoples lives and hope they do the same for us.
I wonder where I can find a place like that?
You funny.
Sounds to me like it's more about being crazy than it is about being Wiccan.
Not crazy, evil.
Agreed.
Is that Buddhism, or Buddhists? Many Christians and Jews engage in equally horrendous acts, but that doesn't mean that Christianity or Judaism promotes those acts.
It's of little concilation to those who've had the misfortune of serving with that "tiny number," of whom paid the ultimate price for a llife and death ottery-system style, "diverse" Armed Forces.
I suppose it's also of "little concilition" to those killed by Christian anti-abortion activists that only a "tiny number" of Christians kill abortion doctors.
So what's your point? That Muslims should be judged by their worst members, and Christians judged by this noblest pronouncements?
You become involved so you'll be reincarnated into a better situation. Sort of like heaven.
What a total crock !!
I re-cite your post only to underscore its sheer idiocy.
Do yourself a favor -- tell your barkeep to flag you and call a cab...
I guess if you're lucky, the millions of rabid gun-toting Christian activist-snipers won't mistaken you for an abortion doctor.
