Just days before the 30th anniversary of the murders of a Marine and his wife, the surviving family members learned the man convicted of killing them was denied his requested parole.
Marine Pvt. Ronnie Curtis, now 62, killed
James and Joan Lotz in their home on Camp Lejeune on April 14, 1987.
James Lotz, 28, was Curtis’ commanding officer in the Marine Corps. Curtis, then 21-years-old, went to his home.
Curtis said he had been in a car accident, and asked to use the phone. In the kitchen, he stabbed Jim Lotz twice in the chest. Joan ran out from the bedroom. Curtis stabbed her seven times in the chest, back, head and neck. He sexually assaulted Joan, then made a sandwich and watched TV.
