Neal Ted Olson was killed after an apparent truck theft while working in Las Vegas on October 2, 1997. Olson, a Caucasian man employed by Lewis Homes, had parked a pickup at a model home in the 3300 block of S. Mountain Bluebird and left the keys in the ignition because he expected to be away only briefly. Responding officers believed foul play was involved and homicide investigators took over the inquiry.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continues to investigate and seeks anyone with information; the suspect who stole Olson’s truck remains unknown and no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Neal, saw the pickup or a person leaving that model home on October 2, 1997, please contact investigators with any information.
