William Jay Shaw, 63, disappeared from Las Vegas on January 25, 1989. A friend arrived that day for a pre-arranged ride to the airport and found Shaw was not home; he never made the planned trip to New York and has not been seen or heard from since. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was notified on January 31, 1989, and opened an investigation that remains unresolved.

At the time he vanished Shaw was described as a white male, 5 feet 5 inches, about 160 pounds, with graying hair, blue eyes and eyeglasses. Subsequent inquiries found he was a cash-rich gambler in Las Vegas who placed bets funded by a sports betting group known as the Kosher Boys, which also used illegal bookmakers; he reportedly sent winnings to the group by express mail.

Does anyone have information about Shaw’s last known movements in Las Vegas or recall seeing him around January 25, 1989?
