Twila Compaore, 37, was found inside a trash can in Las Vegas on April 11, 2008. Detectives then focused on reconstructing her last movements, retracing routes through neighborhoods, parking lots, and alleyways to establish who saw her last and how she came to be hidden in that way.

Investigators followed leads through the year and pursued threads that suggested her death may have been connected to other violent incidents. In December 2008 police arrested a man on suspicion of involvement in her killing, but accounts do not name the suspect or report the case’s outcome, leaving the official resolution unclear.

Did anyone in Las Vegas at the time see Twila or notice anything unusual along the routes investigators searched?
