Essie Otten, also known as Essie Reed, was 57 when she was murdered while sitting on a bus bench at D Street and Paul Street in Las Vegas in the early morning hours of October 10, 2000. She had been waiting for a bus that would take her to work when the killing occurred.

No arrests have been announced. Detectives recovered surveillance footage from a nearby store showing an unidentified white male who used Ms. Otten’s bank card after her death. The man was described as 30 to 40 years old, with light brown hair and a goatee, wearing a maroon hooded sweatshirt and jeans. The motive has not been released and the person in the video remains of significant interest.

Anyone who knew Ms. Otten, saw someone matching that description in the area that morning, or has information about the bank card use is asked to come forward.
