Unsolved murders and missing people in Nevada
Most Nevadans live in and around Las Vegas, where the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Section works more than 1,200 unsolved killings. Its cold case team leans on retired homicide detectives, and private donors have paid for DNA testing that reopened decades-old cases.
Metro’s Missing Persons Unit doesn’t close a case until the person is found. Each story below lists the agency handling the case and how to reach it.
New update. Ron Rudin
Ron Rudin vanished in Las Vegas in 1994. His wife's murder conviction was later thrown out. Three decades on, no one stands convicted.
