The Lane County Sheriff’s Office has announced the arrest of Curtis Lee Larmore, a 38-year-old man, in connection with a rape case, primarily due to DNA evidence. The investigation commenced in late January 2024 when deputies were dispatched to the River Road area following reports of suspicious conditions. Upon gathering and analyzing the evidence, law enforcement was able to link Larmore to the incident. Sheriff’s deputies stressed the critical role that DNA evidence plays in resolving such cases and ensuring that justice is served. This arrest comes as part of a broader initiative to address sexual assault and support victims in the community.

Authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information about the case to come forward. The Lane County community is reminded of the importance of vigilance and reporting suspicious activities. As this case progresses, further updates are expected from the sheriff's office.
