The murder rate in Las Vegas from the early 1970s to the late 1980s was 3 to 5 times as high as it is now. Given the technology of the day and the fact that Las Vegas has always been somewhat transient with people constantly moving in and moving out, it was often difficult to identify victims.This week and next week, we’ll cover the cases of two teenagers who were murdered in Las Vegas during this time, reportedly as they were just passing through town on their way to California. It would be over 40

It's easy to think that DNA is the panacea that will solve every cold case. The technology has come mind-blowingly far and has been used to solve many many cases including the murder of Stephanie Isaacson that we covered just a few weeks ago, and of course, DNA and Investigative Genetic Genealogy helped identify the Golden State Killer James DeAngelo in 2018.That’s not how it worked out initially for Nadia Iverson though. Investigators knew exactly who she was, and it was clear how she was murdered,

In the early morning of Saturday, October 4th, 1997, a resident of east Las Vegas was woken up at 6:30 am by his dog barking incessantly. He walked into his backyard, where he could see the narrow strip of desert between the highway and his yard just beyond his fence. Under some bushes, he saw the body of a young woman. The police were stumped that no one had reported a missing teenager, especially because she was wearing designer jeans and had a fresh manicure. She remained a Jane Doe for 3 days

Marillorky Tamayo-Cruz moved to the Las Vegas area in 2018, for a reason it feels like we’ve cited a lot in recent cases we’ve covered: to find a better life for herself and her children.She was, as it so often happens though, married to an abusive man with a pattern of domestic violence, and just a couple of hours after she was granted a divorce and full custody of her children, the unthinkable happened.http://sinspod.co/episode36sourcesDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesBecome a

In January 2009, it seemed like the murder case against Thomas Randolph would be moving forward to bring him to justice for the murders of Mike Miller and his wife Sharon Randolph. Finally, he would face some accountability for the decades of pain he had caused.Throughout his life, Thomas Randolph always seemed to be able to escape serious consequences for his actions, even being acquitted of the murder of his second wife, and serving a light sentence for conspiracy to commit murder for hiring a

When the story around Sharon Randolph’s murder seemed to be increasingly full of holes, the investigation into Tom Randolph led investigators to find out about the 5 previous wives that Tom Randolph had had and sent them down the rabbit hole trying to learn more about his history and to interview the two women who had lived through being married to Tom.Tom Randolph’s second marriage to Beckie Gault is a much longer story than the others, and just as tragic and horrifying.

On May 8th, 2008 Las Vegas Metro PD received a panicked 911 call from Thomas Randolph. He was distraught and stammering, and he told the dispatcher, “My wife’s been shot, and there’s a guy in my house, and I shot him.” At first glance, this case appeared to investigators to be a botched burglary… case of a couple walking in on a burglar, that burglar killing Sharon Randolph with a single gunshot, and the homeowner killing the burglar in self-defense, saving the day.Something seemed off to Detectives
