In 1979 a 19-year-old woman was found brutally beaten and stabbed to death near what was then the old “El Rancho Hotel” near the Las Vegas Strip. For decades she remained a ‘Jane Doe’ or as detectives nicknamed her, ‘Sahara Sue Doe’. In December of 2023 new DNA technology allowed a cold case detective with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department to contact a probable relative in California. The call paid off and Sahara Sue Doe became Gwenn Marie Story, a teenager from Cincinnati, Ohio who had initially planned a trip to California to find her real father. But the stop in Las Vegas with two male friends would prove deadly. Case #2, Detective Eric Ogaz with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department talks about Scott Echols, an 8-year-old boy who, in 1992, answered the door at his home late one night and mysteriously disappeared.
