A 20-year-old Massachusetts man has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing his “twin flame” to death.
In April, Stow Police Department officers arrived at Shane Curry’s home in Stow after his mother asked for a wellness check, according to an indictment obtained by People. When they arrived at the scene, Shane apparently refused to open the door to the bedroom he’d locked himself in. Police chief Michael Sallese was then called to the scene, as he reportedly had built a “good rapport” with Shane following a previous mental health incident, according to the indictment. When he arrived and knocked on the door, Shane told the cops to “get the f**k out,” calling them “creeps,” before ultimately opening the door “slightly.”
When he walked in the bedroom, Chief Sallese saw Shane lying on a mattress next to 17-year-old nonbinary teen Nevaeh Goddard, who used they/she pronouns. The two were under a blanket, which the officers pulled off to reveal Nevaeh lying lifeless with cuts and bruises covering their body. Poor Nevaeh was deceased.

Shane was detained and escorted out of the bedroom. He reportedly admitted to officers he and the LGBT teen — his significant other — had gotten into a “brawl-level argument” earlier, confessing at the time it was why the body was “so bruised up.” He further told cops that during the heat of the “brawl,” he had been “hitting” the teen — but it was “not working.” He recalled thinking:
He then admitted he “stabbed” the teen with a sword multiple times, which was later found alongside a knife in Shane’s bedroom, according to the indictment. He called his own attack “horrifying,” and claimed he tried to die by suicide by cutting his arms before realizing his lover “was dead, dead.” He went on to call Nevaeh his “twin flame.”
How completely incomprehensible. What a tragedy.
