Man Accused Of Beating Woman With Hammer, Raping Her Child, Stabbing Dog

March 12, 2012 at 8:13 am by Jaded

Carpentersville, IL — The totally sane lookin’ fella to the left is facing a butt-load of charges after police say he beat a woman unconscious with a hammer, raped her daughter and stabbed her dog.

Daniel Happ was arrested early Wednesday morning after police responded to the woman’s home on a disturbance call. When police arrived on scene, they found a 23-year-old woman unconscious and suffering from numerous blows to the head. Also in the home, the woman’s 8-year-old daughter, who police believe had been raped by Happ. Police say the sh*thead threatened to bludgeon the child with the same hammer he beat the snot out of her mamma with as he defiled her.

In addition to the two human victims, police also found a dog in the home to be suffering from several stab wounds.

The woman was transported to the hospital for treatment, but because of her condition, she was unable to assist police with their investigation. The child was interviewed by professionals at the Kane County Child Advocacy Center and taken someplace safe, and the dog is in the care of a local veterinarian.

At this point, police say it doesn’t appear as if Happ forced his way into the woman’s home, but was invited.

He is now behind bars on $3 million bail, facing charges of attempted murder, armed violence, two counts of aggravated battery, one count of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and one count of aggravated cruelty to animals.

Christ. She invited him in? So i’m thinking either she knew him – and should surely have noted someting hinky with his disposition; or she was hoping to get her freak on with some random dude picked up from some random place. Either way i’m betting she’s going to feel mighty guilty when (if?) she wakes up.
That poor 8yo. That whole ordeal should have earned her the right to have at him with a baseball bat or *something*.

Parents – this is what happens when you think your little man is cute with those big ass ears and you cheap out on the otoplasty surgery. Take note.
malq

He stabbed the dog? prick!

I am surprised he has a 3$M bail. he near beat a woman and a dog and raped her 8 year old.
That’s a no bail if I ever saw it. he demonstrated he has nothing to lose. Then again some judge is betting no one will post the $300k to the bondsman. If I were his momma, I sure wouldn’t.
Zazen

It’s ok, CT. Ears like that make great handles in prison.
JohnQknowitall

I want to know the details of the invitation.
CT

OHHHH, good thinking!
Eliza Berntsen

What the hell is in that water they have over there? It has to be some sort of an evil experiment going on or something. Why else would there be this many nutjobs around?
JGo555

This is one creepy motherfucker that will most likely join the Aryan Brotherhood in jail. He will also be perfect for sucking cock as his neck tat & handlelike ears will make it easy for the bigger Bubbas in there.

As I said in the forums, was he trying to commit as many crimes as possible in one single bender?

Fuck!
buhbam

Kill him with fire!!!!! Dumb slore or not, she didn’t deserve this, but once she’s healed she should be slapped for exposing her kid to his crazy ass. (assuming he was aquaintance)

ot: 23-8=15, dang.

I don’t know about you guys… but he looks totally sane to me!
sugarpie

I pray for the little girl that this scary SOB get killed in prison. This guy is what nightmares are made of.
steelpin

i think the sob should be hung by his balls and the mother and daughter can take a baseball bat to him until there is no more life in him.
newstarshipsmell

I’d go with *something*, if that *something* were some rope, a whip, and a tank full of starved sharks.
kimbev69

Im guessing his profile pic was prob somewhat normal but still how does anyone put their child in harms way like this
newstarshipsmell

Someone who has their child when they’re 15…
EveryVillainIsLemons

He looks like he belongs under the jail.
girlygerd

Man…I think punishment should cnsist of a clothing donation box. lol POS Id like to kick his ass and his little dog too <—–jk about the dog part totally love animals! lol
sugarpie

I’d buy tickets for that show.
Lena60

*shivers* that has insane written all over it.
Sam

Ooh, i like. I was thinking more along the lines of razor blades embedded into the business end of the bat, but animal feed times are always fun!
steelpin

u buy tickets NO i would pay for everyone to see that sob dye
62julietandvoid

Anyone think he looks like that vandersloot dude. I’ve seen that look before.
Beth P

Dan was invited in. He knew the woman well for years now. His parents havent been in his life since he tried to steal from their home as well as other reasons. He has a 2 year old son and a girlfriend who is devestated that he would do this. Dan and I have known eachother for a year or more but now I don’t know him at all. I hope he rots away in jail!!!
CT

Well, stealing from your parents would automatically put him WAY down on my list of pals but is it possible she didn’t know all of this crap?
lespacino

Because it said he was “invited” into the home, I can’t stop picturing those old Land Shark skits from SNL…”I’m only a dolphin ma’am.” “Oh, in that case, come on in- I have some root beer and oreos.” Seriously, though, who invites that guy into their home?!
Jemimabean

And by the looks of his mugshot, next we’ll be hearing how “he heard voices urging him to do it,” or, “it was the Devil and his magical elves that coerced him to commit these heinous acts,” instead of what we would LIKE to hear from his grim, smelly little mouth, which is “I’m a waste of human life, I have no real reason for being a sick, perverted fuck, please shoot me in the face now.”

Poor little girl. Brian Christ, what a horrible thing to have to endure.
reapre

A girl I tutored through math was 34, with a 19 year old daughter. She has 5 kids, and her mom had kicked her out of the house, and so she had been emancipated since, her mom found out she was pregnant with her first kid, when she was 14.
StarTheory

I just read the linked article and he’s on suicide watch? Let him off himself and save taxpayers their money. POS!!
Tenbux

”Come on over, we’ll get hammered. Keep a sharp lookout for my dog!”
Athena

Jesus.

I’ve never really understood that, parents booting children because of pregnancy. ”I fucked up and raised you poorly, now get out!”

If, heaven forbid, my child gets knocked up before adulthood, I’ll take responsibility for the mistakes I made that contributed to the situation. But, I suppose people who hate their children to begin with don’t think like that.
Lena60

What color are you going to dye him?Pick red, pretty please, pick red.
Jemimabean

I’d watch him commit suicide.
Lena60

Thanks for the info Beth. Does this guy look as creepy in real life as he does in his mugshot.Also is he a devil worshiper? When I saw his mug, thats the first thing I thought of.
DangerousKindOfSnark

I would also like to point out that those aren’t beauty marks all over his neck and cheek. And don’t you just want to get at that chin thing with a razor?
girlygerd

am I wrong for liking this? I might have some underlying issues myself but at least I pretend to b sane lol
Califboy

Well, if you have any daddy issues I am available for intense 1 on 1 counseling, just saying!
Califboy

I could stand on his chest while attempting to perform CPR !!!

Why would a
kid-raping mom-beating dog-stabbing asshole want to go to hell early? Savor the prison-toilet flowers of life before the real hard-time begins – maybe he’s just not an optimist.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_R7EKXOMLBJQ6YPSBV42ZCYHQOM Andrea

that’s some scary shit, I live 1 mile from c-ville. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this dude around.. thank the lord. On a side note, he had to use three different weapons? I use the term weapon loosely, seeing as how one of them is his mini-chode.
hicusdicus

Handles for what? If I got that desperate I would have it removed. There are limits to what a man will stick his thingy in.
hicusdicus

No not a razor. A dull chain saw.
hicusdicus

Why are there this many nut jobs around??????? How long you been on DD?
hicusdicus

He just likes to party hard.
hicusdicus

What is a person who can actually do math doing posting on DD???????
hicusdicus

Wow! Scott, where have you been? I finally found someone I could be friends with.
hicusdicus

I am positive I saw his face in one of my morning dumps. I know it was not Jesus cause he wasn’t smiling. Any face that showed up in one of my dumps would not be smiling.
hicusdicus

I would help him.
Lena60

Candy gram mam.

Is this from American Psycho ?
LilHoney

I think turning him n2 a human bonfire would be a cool way to end things >:)
Eliza Berntsen

Clearly not long enough, as I still get amazed by the sheer amount of idiots that get featured here.
hicusdicus

This after all is the, if I can do something really stupid, I will be on here forum. It makes weenie whackers like my self numb with disbelief that I have so many clones.
hicusdicus

Have hammer and stabby tool will travel.
hicusdicus

Can you imagine the pollution? The last thing I want is this turd up my nose.
Abroad

“Intense”? Is that when you are in and she is tense?
Beth P

We all have backgrounds. But stealing and attempted mrder,rape, and animal cruelty is another
Beth P

nope he isnt a devil worshiper just a bipolar, depressed, manic guy who refused to take his pills. Like I said he is the las person I would think could do this. we are all devestated and wondering why. We wonder if who he was, was even real or if it was a lie. The older woman doesnt remember anything the young girl is actually doing well, the dog is recovering.
Beth P

dude shut the fuuck up she was friends wiht him for a long time so keep ur fucking mouth shut no one ever though he would do something like this so whtchnwhat the fuck u say asshole
Heather4877

Police responded to the home on a disturbance call. Who called it in? How was he caught? Red handed? Just curious.
buhbam

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Awwww Beth! I alway whtchwhat the fuck I say! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Beth P

oooow im so scared those 2 girls are the victums u prik so shut up u dont know anything u people love talking about this stuff but what if it happen to ur family u wouldnt want people talking were all hurting so just shut up
LeaveMeBe

Hang around, we’ll cure you of that malady.
LeaveMeBe

I’m sincerely sorry y’all are hurting Beth. My heart goes out to all of you. And you’re right, I wouldn’t want people talking about my family if this happend to me, but the truth is it’s a fact of life that people will “talk” and you won’t be able to stop them. The best thing to do is to stay away from any type of media or social networking at this time and surround yourself with supportive people. It only makes it harder on you to read about it. I’m really not trying to be a bitch just trying to dispense some caring advice.
LeaveMeBe

I just have to ask……Brian Christ?
Gee

Wow… This is horrible. Could this guy have sunk any lower? I hope he gets all that he deserves.
Jemimabean

I always thought he was the guy from Python’s “Life of Brian,” but according to Howard Moon (The Might Boosh, Future Sailors,) Brian was, in fact, the cousin of Jesus.

But then according to my eldest son, Jesus’ parents are known as Mary Christ and Joseph Christ, family of John The Baptist and Elizabeth The Baptist, so we might have the whole thing completely wrong on the surnames front.
LeaveMeBe

LOLOLOL! Your son is priceless.
Jemimabean

Yip, he’s a card, love him to pieces (the Christ thing came about after he asked about Mary Magdalene, and I quote: “Mom, this kid was talking about some book that says Jesus had a wife named Mary. But wasn’t Mary his mom?” So I explained that they’re talking about Mary MAGDALENE. “Oh,” he replies, “so not Mary Christ then? That would be so sick.” -_- Thanks a bunch, Dan Brown…
buhbam

Why you scurred girl?

Because I care for you I’m gonna offer you some good advice… stay away from websites like this. Or at least avoid reading stories and particularly the accompanying comments of said stories IF they involve someone you know personally.

xoxo,
prik
HASUCS4U

Poor dog…her on the other hand is just a dumb ass whore. She let him in her house and told him he could stay the night even though she knew how he was. She is a drug addicted whore. Clearly you get what you give, she is a shitty mom in the first place. And to top it off her boyfriends family are all crack head felons so it only fits that she would hang out with Dan. This story gives me great joy I love watching the Abrahmson family && their little trashy fuck buddies get what they all deserve A GOOD ASS BEATIN!!
HASUCS4U

OH AND EVEN BETTER SHE LET HIM STAY THE NIGHT WITH HER WHILE HER BOYFRIEND WAS OUT OF TOWN..hmm NOW WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A GUY STAYIN IN YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOUR MAN IS GONE…ONE THOUGHT COMES TO MIND…SHE MUSTA BEEN BLOWIN THAT NASTY FUCKER HAHAH
HASUCS4U

She put her child in harms way because her boyfriend was outta of town and she needed more drugs. Her whole family is trash as well as thfe ppl she associates with. Its not rocket science to figure out that the “mother” in the most loosely used way was not concerned with her child just drugs and sex.
kimbev69

Ahh that explains it and mommy should be charged if she survived
kimbev69

I need to correct myself, no matter what she did, use drugs or cheat on her bf as YOU claim it doesnt make a diff, i am sure she didnt think this would happen and no one deserves this to happen to their child
Beth P

Ok I don’t usually lash out. My friend is using my account to comment on here as well so you can see differenses in our spelling and language if you look.
As for your comment SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP YOU JACK ASS!!! She KNEW HIM FOR SEVERAL years, like 5 or 6 years. we all did! He dated her sister long ago and lived with them even. The Dan we knew would never do this!!!! He topped taking his meds he got drunk and turned into this motherfucker who betrayed his friends and family.
Clearly you don’t know no fucking rocket science!!!

SHE DIDN’T DO DRUGS AND SHE LOVED THOSE KIDS MORE THAN HERSELF. SHE IS A GOOD FRIEND, MOTHER, GIRLFRIEND, AND DAUGHTER. SHE AND I ALWAYS HAD FUN TOGETHER AND IVE SEEN HER WITH THOSE KIDS. SHES AMAZING. SHE DESERVES TO BE SEEN AS A VICTIM TOO.

HER MOTHER IS NOT TO BLAME EITHER YOU DIMWIT! SHE RAISED A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY.

We all mades mistakes that day. Their were signs that Dan was falling down a very bad path and we ignored them. We didn’t even figure it out till now

EVERYONE is suffering! Why dont you get how devestated ALL of us are!. Instead of making harsh comments when you really dont know what your talking about and you dont know any of the victims or friends and family and actually say something nice like I hope they recover from this or instead of blaming the victims in this crime BLAME THE ONE WHO DID IT!!!!

DANIEL HAPP!!!!!!!!!!

newstarshipsmell

So, Beth, tell us exactly who it is that is physically coercing you to come visit/return to this site, and subject yourself to the horrible trauma of reading that someone on the internet thinks your friend/family/whoever ought to be slapped?

I mean, the same comment you originally replied to also stated the attacker deserves a chance at playing bonfire. That’s a bit harsher than a slap. A bit.
steelpin

why don’t u learn how to spell with your dumb ass.stop being a cry ass to.
Beth P

wow big shot are we i hope you feel horrer in your life your nuthing but a low life like him so fuck off you would be upset if this happen to your family an you people love horrer until it happens to you so you know what i hope it happens to you since you love being rude an crule to the victums asshole
