Irene Bertha Huber was 29 and working as a blackjack dealer at the Sahara Hotel when she was last seen leaving her shift on September 22, 1978. Her failure to show for work prompted concern, and on September 28 Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers forced entry to her Koval Lane apartment for a welfare check. Inside her bedroom they found her dead from an apparent gunshot wound; the room’s condition suggested a struggle had occurred.

Detectives explored multiple leads, including a possible link to a gambling scam, but no clear suspect or motive emerged. No arrests have ever been announced, and the case remains an unsolved homicide. If anyone knew Irene, her movements in late September 1978, or observed suspicious activity near Koval Lane or the Sahara around that time, please share what was seen or remembered.
