On the evening of August 8, 1975, Las Vegas cab driver William Tinnell was killed. Horton later described the killing with apparent indifference, saying he didn’t think Tinnell deserved to live.

Horton, who had a documented history of violent crime, was already in custody on other serious charges when he confessed to Tinnell’s murder and to the slaying of Edward Buccieri, a shift boss at Caesar’s Palace. Horton admitted Buccieri had been shot five times in the head three months earlier after an attempted robbery. During court proceedings Horton reportedly giggled while describing the crimes. He pleaded guilty to the murders of Tinnell and Buccieri in a deal that resulted in other felony charges being dropped.

Does anyone have memories or information about Tinnell, his work as a cab driver that night, or witnesses who might not have been interviewed?
