Johnsie M. Bame was 61 when she was last seen in Las Vegas on September 23, 1979, and was reported missing soon afterward. Her remains have never been recovered, but authorities concluded she had been murdered. She was described as White, very small in build, with gray hair, blue eyes, scoliosis that caused a stooped walk, a hearing aid, and missing teeth. She did not have access to a vehicle and there was no indication she flew or traveled by bus before she vanished.

The investigation eventually produced an arrest and a guilty plea in a no-body murder case; the same person was also convicted in the 1979 slaying of another woman and received a sentence for both murders. Despite the convictions, Johnsie Bame’s body has not been found and her case remains listed among unresolved recoveries.

If anyone knew Johnsie, saw her around Las Vegas in September 1979, or has information that could help locate her remains, please share what is known.
