Vanessa Eileen Zambrano was a female infant whose body was found on March 4, 2006, in a marsh area of Lake Mead near the Government Wash boat launch ramp in Las Vegas. The discovery occurred at approximately 4:45 p.m., and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated and determined her death to be a homicide.

Authorities have not been able to establish the circumstances that led to Vanessa’s death or how she came to be in that location. The case remains cold: no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Law enforcement is still seeking information that could lead to a break in the investigation.

If anyone has information about Vanessa, her family, or activity near the Government Wash boat launch in early March 2006, please contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
