I find it strange that the Detroit PD had her fingerprints on file but not a mug shot. Surely there are other pictures of Mary out there, somewhere...
I’m trying to find more info on James Robinson. He isn’t on any databases. He may be a John Doe somewhere and they don’t know it yet.
The killer killed himself. Good for him and a lot of others. He would probably have continued murdering.Curry attempted suicide after being taken into custody and was pronounced dead January 7, 1983.
It is at a Catholic cemetery in Reno, I believe.Beautiful press release. No "we belong to the old boy school" there. Open, honest and to the point. How incredibly awesome DDP managed to identify both Mary and her murderer.
Awful the Detroit police haven't put everything online. What's the problem? Many who would volunteer to do that stuff so hardly financial. ??

**Rest in peace Mary! I'm so happy you were named at last. Never thought you would be a Mary though, I always thought you were an E name: Eileen, Ellie, Evelyn. Edith is good too. Rest in eternal peace.**
Where is her grave? Anyone know?

She is currently buried at Our Lady of Sorrows on North Virginia Street in Reno, NV.Where is her grave? Anyone know?

If I heard correctly during the live stream of the press conference, LE didn't know right now how or when Silvani and Curry crossed paths. I guess I am not the only one who thought Mary was killed by a SO, but who knows? LE can perhaps provide answers in time; just let them do their job.
Another thing, though: Curry confessed to three other murders, but not Mary's, right? Makes me wonder if he could be responsible for more deaths that he didn't confess to, or be linked to other Jane and John Does.
Mary Silvani's case makes me incredibly sad, but I am glad she's finally someone once again and that her story could bring answers in other cases.
It is & I found it fitting because it was catholic & many Italians are catholic so she probably was jmo on that thoughIt is at a Catholic cemetery in Reno, I believe.
I wondered that as well & only thing I can think of is maybe he knew he was caught on the California ones so he’d confess but since they didn’t know about sheep’s flat case no need to bring it up to them.Yeah, I was thinking about why he didn’t confess to Mary’s murder but the three others. Any theories??
Thank you. I thought same thing. If they still had her prints then they should have a mug shot. Also it’s strange that they don’t have a photo from a drivers license or state ID. I know many who don’t drive but they have ID to work, cash checks & prove identity for whatever.I find it strange that the Detroit PD had her fingerprints on file but not a mug shot.

I doubt he felt remorse, otherwise he would’ve told them about Mary. Instead, he killed himself most likely to avoid sitting in jail or the death penalty.Maybe he didn't confess becasuse he was too close to her, boyfriend maybe.
I'm still freaking out bc of the name thing. I felt E. I was 100% sure Buckskin Girl was a Maria, (I never heard the Marcia name) and Lyle Stevik had religion in his name, but I could never work out a catholic one, and I was sure he was. He was Christian. How simple isn't that. I know these things aren't really allowed on here, just felt I have to let it out.
Again, so greatful both her and her killer was identified. Sad she wasn't allowed to live her life, sad and frustrated the *advertiser censored* decided to take his own. Hopefully he felt regret and remourn in his last momensts. Maybe that's why he did it.
Maybe but I don’t know why he wouldn’t. If he was already caught and not getting out, why not just confess about the SF case? I’m not sure how long he was in jail before he committed suicide. Maybe he did it early on (he wasn’t even sentenced and his DNA wasn’t taken) and didn’t have time to confess about Mary.I wondered that as well & only thing I can think of is maybe he knew he was caught on the California ones so he’d confess but since they didn’t know about sheep’s flat case no need to bring it up to them.
