Sheila Gay Griffith, 22, had recently moved from Oklahoma to North Las Vegas and was working as a cocktail waitress at Caesar’s Palace when she was last seen on the evening of September 23, 1979. She and her sister had been at the Silver Nugget Casino; Sheila was seen leaving the casino with a man and did not return.

Her 1972 Plymouth Satellite was found burned and abandoned behind a hotel in Eloy, Arizona on September 30, 1979; investigators noted a toolbox was missing from the vehicle. On November 27, 1979 a hunter found a nude female body inside a sleeping bag in a ravine near Whiskey Pete’s Casino, near the Nevada–California line. Dental records identified the remains as Sheila Griffith and the cause of death was listed as strangulation.

In early 1980, 32-year-old Edward Allen See, arrested in North Carolina for a robbery, told FBI agents he had persuaded Sheila to leave the Silver Nugget, sexually assaulted her when she rejected his advances, and strangled her before leaving her body in the desert. Does anyone have information about Sheila’s last night at the Silver Nugget or about movements of her car after September 23, 1979?
