On February 18, 1987 hikers found the nude body of a woman about three-tenths of a mile south of Lake Mead Boulevard in Las Vegas. She was identified by fingerprints as 36-year-old Angelique Jeanette Hayes, a Caucasian woman whose remains investigators estimated had been at the remote desert site for three to four days before discovery.

An autopsy determined Angelique died of asphyxiation; the medical examiner listed strangulation as the cause of death. She was last seen at the Par-A-Dice Inn Motel, 2217 East Fremont Street in Las Vegas, but what occurred between that sighting and the finding of her body is not known.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated but the case went cold; no suspects have been publicly named or arrested. If anyone knew Angelique, saw her at the motel, or has information about her movements in mid-February 1987, contact investigators with what they remember.
