Michigan authorities traveled to California with an arrest warrant for Michael Leon Curry. On March 17, the 51-year-old suspect was transported back to Michigan and charged in the 1986 slaying of a nurse’s aide.
Last summer, a Michigan felon then living in Southern California powered up a Facebook account and let rip.
“A lot of people didn’t believe [his confession] at the time,” Tim Wydick, the original police investigator on the case, told WOOD. “People thought he was trying to get attention.” Wilkinson, 59, had bruising around her neck. The dead woman’s nightgown had also been tampered with, police would later determine. The top of the gown was pulled down, and the bottom was lifted above her waist. The victim’s underwear were also missing from the body. An autopsy ruled Wilkinson’s death a homicide.
Despite knowing the details of the crime — including the color of the underwear taken from the victim — the police were suspicious of Curry’s confession, an investigator told WOOD. Curry’s account lacked other specific details.
