Investigators using DNA technology have identified a woman slain in Lake Tahoe and the man they say killed her 37 years ago, authorities announced.
A facial reconstruction image of Mary Silvani is shown with the only known photograph of her, from a 1966 high school yearbook.
They would later learn Silvani’s father died when she was a teenager and her mother was in and out of mental hospitals across the nation, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said. Silvani moved to California between 1974 and her death in 1982, but detectives still don’t know where she lived and have not been able to identify anyone who knew her.
Washoe County officials didn’t share the news immediately, though, and instead began hunting down Silvani’s killer.They used small samples of DNA taken from Silvani’s rape kit. After 2,000 hours of research by Fitzpatrick and other genealogists, forensic scientists narrowed their search and found a potential match with James Richard Curry.“I have to give them a lot of praise for that,” Balaam said.
