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.

It's a kind of self-worship, but it lacks the external forms of religious ceremony which they associate with religion in general (as a kind of stereotype). So they think it's just the religious people out there who have beliefs, and they themselves are on to the way the world works. In practice, a very large share of secular humanist-socialists are know-it-alls waging an inquisition; they've defined themselves out of recognizing their own I-know-how-it-really-works patterns, so they repeat them until they *become* inquisitions.

[Cicero]

If the government (i.e., taxpayers) promotes one religion over others, it is by definition "establishing" a religion.

This really is not true. "Establishment" of religion had a clear meaning at the time the Constitution was written, which unfortunately the Supreme Court severely twisted, mainly on account of anti-Catholic bigotry on the part of some of the justices. The constitution merely says that there shall be no official, national religion, like the Church of England or the Catholic Church in pre-revolutionary France. That is why the Church of England is also referred to in England as the Established Church.

Government has a perfect right to do what it thinks is right, subject to the agreement of the voters and legislators. We should be very hesitant to outlaw most religions. Personally I would say that Wicca is foolish and superstitious and leaves room for worse things to enter, but that in most cases it is merely harmless silliness. Probably Satanism has entered here, and I think the government has a perfect right to outlaw Satanism.

But apart from outlawing religions, government has a right to favor some and disfavor others. I don't think we need Wicca chaplains in prisons, for instance, or that Wicca should get any faith-based government money. And obviously when practitioners turn to the dark side like this, they need to be punished and possibly that particular cell or congregation needs to be investigated and dispersed.

[Grut]

Damn, and here I thought it was the Jews who murdered babies. These turkeys don't sound like Wiccans anyway, they sound like Satanists passing as Wiccans, or dabblers too stupid to understand the difference.

If the bad examples define a religion, who can be a Christian if they aren't Fred Phelps?

[Lindykim]

Your reasoning is flawed. It implies the possibility that our gov't can function as a morals neutral entity. If so, then tell me what guides the reasoning of this morally 'neutral' entity?

[Zeroisanumber]

Sounds to me like it's more about being crazy than it is about being Wiccan.

[Lindykim]

snip...You mean like the pagan Greeks and their democracy, or the pagan Romans and their constitutional republic?



You forgot to mention some pertinent facts, Junior. Like how females were considered to be sub-human creatures; abortion, infanticide, and child abandonment were commonly practiced; and slave population numbers most usually outnumbered the citizens. Not so hot after all, eh?

[Lindykim]

snip...And why in the WORLD do you think it would be a good idea to divide Americans in that manner?


Your rant describes, NOT America as she was founded....One Nation Under God. No, your rant describes the Canadian/EU Franco-Germanic "we are one big inclusive family of sameness' socialism model. You're describing a theoretical utopiia.

[Liberator]

And the MSM will be reporting THIS news?

Yeah, in our wildest dreams.

Is Wiccan included as a protected "religion," on a par with say...Christianity? Yep. But "tolerance" is the new mantra that protects 'Wicca,' satanism, and that "Religion of Peace" -- Islam.

This is insanity run amok.

And I wonder how many 'Wiccan' chaplins are there in the U.S. Armed Forces?

[Lindykim]

snip...I think it was G.K. Chesterton who wrote "First you dabble with the demons and, in the end, the demons dabble with you.


That sounds like Chesterson. He was great at knocking charlatans and mountebanks off of their soap boxes.

Great description. I really appreciate how it reveals their hypocrisy, conceit, and denial of reality. Something tells me they won't enjoy it though :-)

[Lindykim]

Defining religions by their worst case examples wasn't the point of my response. The point was that our unique form of gov't was made possible through adoption of Christian principles and our Founders belief in an all-powerful, omniscient, intelligent Creator. America was not given birth to by Budhism, animism, etc. And if we all want to continue to be free people blessed with Constitutional rights found nowhere else in the world,including the right to worship, then all of us, no matter whether Budhist, Wiccan, or whatever, had better respect and protect the source of those freedoms......Christianity and God of the bible.

[TASMANIANRED]

Wasn't all the child murders in Satanic cults debunked in the 90's.

This can't be true , from these nature loving wicans.

Obviously the coroner has made some error.

Not.

[nmh]

What's this the right to "Freedom of Religion"?

Watch for that to be the defense.

This is SICK.

[iconoclast]

Sounds to me like it's more about being crazy than it is about being Wiccan.

And your post sounds like a redundancy to most of us.

[Long Cut]

" Government has a perfect right..."

I stopped right there. The US government has NO rights whatsoever...only its PEOPLE do.

"I think the government has a perfect right to outlaw Satanism..."

Why, if the Satanists are harming no one?

" government has a right to favor some and disfavor others..."

Once again, the government has NO rights. However, if you feel it has that POWER, please cite that clause in the Constitution granting it. We'll wait.

"And obviously when practitioners turn to the dark side like this, they need to be punished and possibly that particular cell or congregation needs to be investigated and dispersed."

OOOOKay...please leave my country, as it is not the place for one with your views. Here in America, we do not imprison or sanction religions, and our Constitution forbids this.

Why don't you just admit it...you want the government to "bless" Christianity as "America's Religion", and outlaw thoswe with which you disagree. Your post makes this abundantly clear.

[Treeless Branch]

It is spelled "Buddhism" and it is not pantheistic.

[CDHart]

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

Amen.

[Treeless Branch]

The Kingdom of heaven is within
Fear not, I am with thee.

Lord Jesus has already come for me.
In fact, that is not correct, because he actually never left me in the first place.

[R. Scott]

I was taught that the Crusades were a bad thing...an attempt by the Church to consolidate its power.

I was taught that they were the only way the Pope could get the European knights to quit killing each other – he had them focus their attention outside Europe.

[Long Cut]

"The point was that our unique form of gov't was made possible through adoption of Christian principles and our Founders belief in an all-powerful, omniscient, intelligent Creator..."

Uh, no. It was made possible because some very intelligent and enlightened men decided to apply the principle of representative government, with enumerated rights, to it. Those came from the ancient Greeks and Romans, with help from the English Common Law.

" America was not given birth to by Budhism, animism, etc..."

No, it was given birth to by Reason. Christianity is not mentioned in either the DOE or the Constitution as a source.

"And if we all want to continue to be free people blessed with Constitutional rights found nowhere else in the world,including the right to worship, then all of us, no matter whether Budhist, Wiccan, or whatever, had better respect and protect the source of those freedoms......Christianity and God of the bible."

See above. Fortunately, there is no requirement whatsoever in law for anyone to bow down to YOUR religion, or you to bow to theirs. It's called "freedom". You theocrats should learn about it, it works pretty well.
