Gabriel Vincent was last seen in Las Vegas in November 1979. By then he reportedly led a transient lifestyle and had prior convictions for robbery and car theft; he was renting a storage unit on Teco Avenue from local landowner David Dale Morgan and was driving a 1970 Dodge van. Vincent never collected a final paycheck and did not renew a driver’s license that expired in 1980, and searches of motor vehicle records did not find a new license in his name.

Multiple accounts say Vincent had taken compromising photographs of Morgan’s second wife, Marie, and attempted to blackmail Morgan. Two employees who lived at the storage facility later claimed they heard gunshots and that Morgan asked for help disposing of Vincent’s body; one of those men allegedly said they placed a body in Vincent’s van and buried it in the desert off U.S. 95 near the Mount Charleston turnoff. A separate alleged confession to Marie’s sister described an ambush, torture, a fatal shooting and burial with quicklime. Despite a tip about the burial site, searches turned up nothing and Gabriel Vincent has never been found.

Does anyone remember Gabriel, the 1970 Dodge van, or seeing activity at the Teco Avenue storage units in late 1979?
