Charles and Nona Rauer were found beaten to death in their Incline Village, Nevada condominium on Oriole Way; their bodies were discovered on December 4, 1994 and investigators believe the killings occurred the morning of December 2 or 3. The scene was described as horrific but showed no signs of forced entry. Several thousand dollars in jewelry were left behind, although Charles’ bracelet and a video camera were missing. The couple’s 1991 Mazda Navajo was also taken and recovered a few days later, covered by fresh snow a few blocks away in front of the local Justice Court.

Investigators reported the crime scene had been apparently wiped clean of evidence, but DNA not belonging to the victims was reportedly recovered, possibly from the murder weapon. Suspicion later focused within the family when daughter Barbara Wilson came to believe her brother, Charles Rauer Jr., may have been involved after the parents had reportedly cut him off financially; Wilson filed a wrongful death suit that was settled out of court. The District Attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge him criminally beyond a reasonable doubt.

Who in Incline Village around December 1994 remembers seeing the Navajo, the missing bracelet, or the video camera?
