On October 31, 1978, the body of 29-year-old William Leone, a McCloud Street resident, was found in a drainage culvert at Clearacre and Whitfield streets in Reno, Nevada. The location and condition of the scene suggested the body had been deliberately concealed, and investigators treated the death as suspicious rather than accidental.

Despite an initial investigation, leads dwindled and the case went cold. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The death remains an unsolved homicide and law enforcement continues to seek information that could clarify Leone’s final hours.

If anyone knew William Leone, saw him in late October 1978, or has information about activity near Clearacre and Whitfield around that time, please come forward.
