Parole hearing set for man convicted in brutal kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley

CAMBRIDGE — One of the men convicted in the brutal kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley of Cambridge in 1997 is trying to get out of prison.

Charles Jaynes is scheduled for a parole hearing on March 31, according to Robert Curley, Jeffrey’s father, who was notified of the hearing on Friday.

Jaynes was convicted of second degree murder in Jeff’s case.

Jeffrey Curley was abducted from Cambridge and smothered.

Jaynes and another man, Sal Sicari, were convicted of taking Jeffrey’s body to a New Hampshire apartment where it was molested, before placing the boy’s body inside a rubber container and dumping it in a Maine river.

The case was so heinous that Massachusetts came within one vote of reinstating the death penalty.

Robert Curley told Boston 25 News that he is taking news of Jaynes’ parole hearing in stride.
