Probably white victims, but don't have the photos to prove it.

Man charged with 1st degree murder and two counts of 2nd degree murder

A twisted and gruesome story of murder unfolded Thursday in the Treasure Valley, resulting in the deaths of an innocent mother and her little girl, and the decapitation of the suspect's ex-wife in her Nampa home.
Police say the story began Wednesday night, where a man brutally killed his ex-wife, cutting off her head, according to officers. Thursday,
the story ended with two more victims, an innocent mother and child traveling on Franklin Road near Cloverdale.
"At about 6:30 we had a Boise police officer who was eastbound on Franklin Road,” says Mike Webb, Deputy Chief of the Boise police Department, “he saw a truck in front of him swerve into a car in the oncoming lane and crash into a passenger car."
Inside the car were a mother and her two young daughters. 37-year-old Nina Murphy and five-year-old Jae Lynn were killed instantly, leaving eight-year-old Sydney as the lone survivor. Police say the driver of the pickup, 50-year-old Alofa Time purposely drove his truck into Murphy's car. But the story doesn't end there.
Deputy Chief Webb goes on to say that “As other officers arrived on the scene they found a horrific piece of evidence, a severed female head lying on Franklin Road."
Because of that discovery, and information from Time, Nampa Police rushed to his home.
"The
y gave us information that they had gained from a person involved in the crash that he had been involved in a homicide in Nampa,” says Lt. Leroy Forsman of the Nampa Police Department
And it was there at the Lotus Spring Subdivision, where officers found the decapitated body of his ex-wife, 47-year old Theresa Time in the garage.
"The female was sitting in the driver's compartment of the vehicle,” says Canyon County Coroner Vicki Degeus-Morris. “Obviously, she had been decapitated."
Time had a history of violence. According to court papers, just this Spring, Alofa was charged with domestic battery against Theresa. A "no contact" order was issued at Theresa's request, but she later asked a judge to lift it. A judge originally denied that request and asked Theresa to first take a domestic violence victim's class. She did, and on May 30th, just 16 days ago, the couple was allowed to see each other again.
Neighbor Pete Romo says he never heard noise
come from the Times’ home, so when he learned what happened just a few houses down, he was shocked.
They were just really quiet people, kept to themselves, and never really said much. We would wave every now and then… but they were just really quiet people."
Now it's up to detectives to figure out why Theresa was murdered. Her body is with the Coroner’s office, and the blood stained car she was found in, a part of police evidence.
Degues-Morris was still shocked by the entire day’s events, “In my 22 years, this is probably the most brutal I've seen, given the whole picture."
Newschannel 7 is told that Sydnee, the eight year old accident victim, is doing much better as she recovers in the hospital. Her grandfather and step grandmother are with her now.
Alofa Time is charged with two counts of second degree murder in Ada County and one count of first degree murder in Canyon County.
