Krista Lee Elliott, a 21-year-old Caucasian woman, was found murdered in a room at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas on June 2, 1982. A hotel maid discovered her deceased in bed with numerous stab wounds. The room had been registered to a man who paid cash and used the name Gerry Simms and a false address. He became the primary suspect but has never been identified.

Authorities described the unknown suspect as a white male, about 25 to 30 years old at the time, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing approximately 140 to 165 pounds. No arrests have been made and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continues to list the case as open.

If anyone has information about the man who checked into the Frontier Hotel as Gerry Simms or recalls anything relevant to Krista Lee Elliott’s last known movements, please come forward.
