Delmar Bright, a 29-year-old porter at the Fremont Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, was murdered on August 7, 1975 and found in his apartment on August 11, 1975. He was discovered bound and stabbed multiple times, lying on his bed.

The investigation connected Bright with 21-year-old Billy Lee Chadd, a recent arrival in Las Vegas who had previously visited Bright’s apartment and shared drinks with him. On the day of the killing, Bright left briefly to collect his paycheck; when he returned he offered Chadd $20 to pose for nude photographs. Chadd later confessed, admitting he tied Bright’s hands behind his back and stabbed him repeatedly. The motive is not stated.

Anyone who knew Delmar Bright, his work at the Fremont Hotel, or has information about his last days is asked to come forward.
