Joseph Anthony Tarricone (January 7, 1925 – September 29, 1978) was an American businessman who was murdered by his girlfriend, Renee Curtiss, and her brother, Nicholas Notaro. His dismembered remains were discovered buried on the property of a home in Puyallup, Washington, in June 2007. After divorcing his wife in the early 1970s, Tarricone began dating Renee Curtiss (born August 1, 1953), a 25-year-old secretary who worked for his company. Tarricone's daughter alleged that the age difference was mitigated by the fact that Tarricone lavished her in gifts. In mid-1978, Curtiss broke off the relationship and relocated to live with her mother, Florence Geraldine Hess, in a rented home on Canyon Road in Puyallup, Washington. In the late summer of 1978, Tarricone visited his ex-wife, Rose, and his children in New Mexico, where they were living at the time. On September 29, 1978, while Tarricone was visiting Seattle en route back to Alaska, Curtiss and her adopted brother, 30-year-old Nicholas Notaro (who had previously been charged with manslaughter and served time for a killing committed in Alaska the previous decade) shot him to death in the home Curtiss shared with her mother in Puyallup. Curtiss had lured Tarricone to the home under the pretext of him repairing the washing machine. In the basement, while Tarricone inspected the washing machine, Notaro shot him twice in the head, killing him. Afterward, Curtiss and Notaro dismembered his remains with a chainsaw before burying them in the home's backyard. -Excerpts from Wikipedia
