Venita Gale Holzman was 22 when she was last seen in Las Vegas on January 1, 1963, after finishing a shift at the Flamingo Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. She had married Zel Holzman in Fresno in January 1957 at age 16, filed for divorce two months later citing extreme cruelty and seeking support for their unborn child, and by 1963 was working in Las Vegas.

Very few concrete details exist about her final movements after leaving work; the circumstances of her disappearance are described as mysterious and the timeline of her last known moments remains unclear. A formal NCIC or NamUs-type file was not created until decades later, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department still lists the case as open.

Does anyone have memories of Venita, the Flamingo in early 1963, or information that could help fill the gaps in her last known day?
