Timeline

2010

While his crimes were quickly forgotten after his suicide, the case of the Sheep's Flat Jane Doe became a primary focus of local and regional law enforcement, who attempted to uncover the victim's identity for decades. Sometime in the mid-2010s, criminalists from the Washoe County Sheriff's Forensic Science Division attended a lecture on genetic genealogy hosted by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, a geneticist known for her work with the DNA Doe Project and Identifinders International. Following this, detectives and criminalists started working with the organizations in an attempt to identify the Sheep's Flat Jane Doe.

1983

Through the operation of his business, Curry became acquainted with 39-year-old Gerald and 34-year-old Sharon K. Novoselatz, a couple who owned a rival self-storage facility. Curry would later claim that his dispute with them stemmed from a 1981 Christmas party, when he alleged that a drunken Gerald was being rude and obnoxious and that he had criticized his business. On January 2, 1983, the Curry went to the Novoselatzes' apartment in San Jose, as Gerald wanted to purchase a .45 revolver from him. When he began inquiring on how to handle the weapon, Curry took it, aimed it at Gerald, and shot him once in the head, killing him on the spot. He then stole $400 from the apartment, raped Sharon, and forced her into his yellow Lincoln Continental, from where he planned to drive to the San Francisco International Airport and put her on a random plane. On the way, Curry stopped the car along State Route 92 to relieve himself - at that time, Sharon attempted to run away but was chased down by Curry. After he captured her, he proceeded to sexually assault and then shoot her in the head, leaving her body near the Crystal Springs Reservoir.

1982

Sometime during the following four years, Curry purchased a self-storage yard in Santa Clara, where he would store some items stolen from his future victims. Through this business, he came into contact with 38-year-old Richard Lemmon Jr., a Bakersfield native who wanted to store his two motorcycles, a truck, and other belongings in one of the storage lockers. The men developed a cordial relationship, but sometime around early 1982, Curry had a falling out with him and decided to kill him. On February 28, he lured Lemmon to the storage locker and shot him once in the head with a .38 revolver. After killing him, he stuffed his body in a wooden crate, sealed it, and left it in the storage locker. Curry would later give Lemmon's motorcycle to one of his sons.

1976

While working in Waukena, Curry became acquainted with a 40-year-old fellow locksmith named James DeWitt Robinson. He learned that Robinson had received $10,000 as settlement from a 1976 personal injury lawsuit and had done property dealings in Tulare, leading some to speculate that he wanted to steal his money. Sometime in 1978, Robinson vanished without a trace and has still not been found to this day, but since he was not reported missing at the time, his disappearance was not investigated by the authorities.

1974

After providing a sample of the victim's DNA, it was uploaded to GEDmatch, where geneticists were able to track down Silvani's parents and positively confirm that she was the murder victim after they linked her fingerprints to a 1974 misdemeanor arrest in Detroit, Michigan. In the same press release announcing her identification, authorities also announced that they had linked Curry's DNA to the perpetrator's thanks to the cooperation of his two children, officially closing the case.

1946

James Richard Curry (November 16, 1946 – January 7, 1983) was an American serial killer and rapist who killed between four and five people in California and Nevada from 1982 to 1983. A few days after his arrest, Curry hung himself in his jailcell. He is best remembered for being posthumously identified as the killer of the Sheep Flats Jane Doe, who was identified alongside him as Mary Silvani.

Little is known about Curry's early life. Born in Bexar, Texas on November 16, 1946, he was the illegitimate son of a man and woman from Dallas who had had an affair, with only his mother deciding to raise him under a different name. Sometime during the late 1960s to early 1970s, he was arrested for robbery and assault and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment at the Huntsville Unit, where he remained until his release in 1977. Curry then decided to leave Texas and move to California, settling in the small community of Waukena, where he soon found employment in a locksmithing company.
