Homicide victim found dead in 1979 near Las Vegas Strip ID’d as missing 19-year-old from Cincinnati
Associated PressLAS VEGAS — A body discovered in an open field in 1979 near what is today a busy intersection of the Las Vegas Strip has been identified as a teenager from Ohio who had left home that year in search of her biological father, authorities announced Tuesday. When the two friends returned to the Cincinnati area in August that year — the same month that Story was found dead — they told the teen’s family that they had left her in Las Vegas, police said. The police department says it is now turning its focus to those two friends and how Story wound up dead near the Las Vegas Strip. Earlier this year, Othram also helped Nevada State Police identify a victim who was nameless for 45 years after her heavily decayed remains were found in a garment bag in a remote area of northern Nevada in October 1978, less than a year before Story was found dead in Las Vegas.
