Thanks to DNA sleuths, a Jane Doe killed 37 years ago might finally get a headstone with her name on it
Police knew almost nothing about her, just that she was found shot to death near Lake Tahoe in 1982. And no one had been looking for her. But with the help of DNA sleuths, who used samples from the crime scene, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office was able in the past year to find some closure, identifying the victim and the suspect, whose names they announced Tuesday.James Curry was arrested in 1983 and charged with murder.
She became known as Sheep's Flat Jane Doe, a name given to her based on the trail where she was found.The trail to finding her killer was cold for many years.The case had gone on so long detectives who followed it had retired. And until five years ago the sheriff's department didn't have a unit that focused on cold cases.
