Ruby Estelle Dorman, 78, disappeared after finishing a mid-afternoon shift as a buffet hostess at the Flamingo in Laughlin, Nevada. She changed out of her uniform, drove her white Honda Accord to what should have been a short, 15-minute trip home, but never returned to the mobile home where she lived with a roommate. The car was later found at the residence with Ruby’s purse and keys inside, but Ruby was gone.

Investigators focused on Ruby’s daughter, Juliann White, after the roommate reported seeing White return to the mobile home alone that afternoon, driving Ruby’s Honda, then transfer to her own Jeep Cherokee and leave without going inside. Earlier that day White had called the roommate for directions. When questioned, White gave inconsistent statements and denied seeing her mother or driving the car, contrary to the roommate’s account. The daughter’s long-standing mental health problems, prior threats against Ruby, and a history of a strained relationship are noted in the investigation.

There is no body, no crime scene that produced enough evidence for charges, and authorities are treating the disappearance as a homicide. Does anyone have information about Ruby, her daughter, or that area of Laughlin on the day she vanished?
