Gary Wayne Hayse was 30 when his body was found on the evening of July 23, 1998, in the desert east of Bramblewood Mobile Home Park in Las Vegas. A resident made the discovery and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police homicide investigators determined he had been severely beaten; the Clark County Coroner ruled the cause of death blunt force trauma.

Hayse had lived in Las Vegas for 14 years and worked in construction. He was a father to a son, Cameron, and a daughter, Tiffany, and was survived by parents James and Patricia Hayse and three siblings. Detectives were unable to locate witnesses and no one came forward with information that clarified what happened.

The case remains unsolved and open with no suspects publicly identified or arrested. If anyone knew Gary, saw him around July 23, 1998, or has information about that area east of Bramblewood Mobile Home Park, please come forward.
