Natasha Dahn told a really big lie that got Justin Hamilton, a 24 year old suffering from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, severely beaten by her boyfriend and three of his friends. She told her boyfriend that Hamilton had hit and assaulted her. Natasha convinced Hamilton to go out with her on a Friday night. Accompanying them were her boyfriend, 19 year old John Maniglia, 21 year old mentally disabled Timothy Ketterling, and 21 year old John Diepold. They took Hamilton to a secluded area where they punched, kicked, and hit Hamilton repeatedly over several hours on Friday and Saturday before demanding money from him. Hamilton offered them a few Xbox games that he had at his home. They took him back to the house and he thought everything was over.
Natasha somehow got Hamilton to go out with her again on Saturday night. They were together when Maniglia and Diepold drove up and forced Hamilton into a truck that was being driven by 33 year old Glen Ries. They beat him up worse than before by punching, kicking, and hitting him with a baton. They proceeded to tie him up to a tree and burned and tortured him to the point of unconsciousness. Natasha encouraged the beatings and even kicked Hamilton a few times herself.
Hamilton managed to get to a highway where a passerby picked him and took him to the police station. He was transported to the hospital where he was found to have two broken ribs, burns from a cigarette lighter, and bruises and cuts from head to toe.
The investigation revealed that Natasha Dahn told a really big lie. She made it all up to get attention. All five suspects has been arrested and charged with multiple crimes.
Hamilton’s family has set up a trust fund to help with the costs of his care. Donations can be sent to: Wells Fargo bank/For the benefit of Justin Charles Hamilton, 16817 Duluth Av., SE., Prior Lake, MN 55372.
