Case Story

Sex Offender Sought In Daughter's Stabbing

Idaho authorities and the FBI are trying to track down registered sex offender - John Tuggle - who they say sexually assaulted and stabbed his 12-year-old daughter, then left her on the side of a rural road to die. Cops say the girl was found by a camping family. She had been  bound, stabbed and was cowering in  bushes along a deserted road near Wallace, Idaho. Police say Tuggle showed up at the Idaho home where the young girl lived with her mother to take her shopping and boating. But, instead, cops say Tuggle drove her to the mountains to sexually assault and kill her.

Tuggle Has Troubled Past

According to officials, Tuggle had not seen his daughter in more than 10 years. Tuggle was sent to an Idaho prison in 1995 for the statutory rape of a relative. He was released from prison in January 2004 and registered as a sex offender in Colorado.
