Paula Bowling was found dead on February 13, 1989, in scrubland off Paradise Road, south of Robindale in the Las Vegas Valley. Her body was discovered at about 5:30 p.m., in a lonely stretch where pavement gives way to sand and creosote; investigators marked off the scene as winter light faded. She was 21 and also known as Paula Howard and Chardon Jazzmen.

Detectives classified the death as a homicide but the case file lists no identified suspect and no arrests connected to her killing. The case remains on Metro’s cold-case rolls.

If anyone knew Paula, saw her around Fremont or Eastern in early 1989, or has information about that stretch of Paradise Road, please come forward.
