Thirteen-year-old Jody Marie Miller slipped out of her Las Vegas bedroom window on the night of June 21, 1971, and was reported missing. Two days later a friend was the last known person to see her. She was a student at Garside Junior High School and reportedly had a difficult home life that may have led her to associate with people her family did not approve of.

On November 2, 1971, Jody’s remains were found in a shallow grave in a desolate desert area about 150 feet northwest of the corner of Jones Boulevard and Lone Mountain Road. Her body had been wrapped in a blanket, and the discovery turned the missing-person search into a homicide investigation. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated, but no suspect has ever been officially named or arrested. There has been speculation about links to other unsolved murders of young girls from that period, but no definitive connection has been established.

Does anyone who knew Jody, her friends, or the neighborhoods around Jones Boulevard and Lone Mountain Road in 1971 have information that could help solve this case?
