Bonnie Marie Rice, 52, was found dead inside her North Las Vegas apartment at the La Serena at the Parque complex on September 13, 2014. A family member discovered her around 11 p.m.; the Clark County coroner later determined she died of multiple gunshot and stab wounds, and investigators treated the death as a homicide.

Police quickly identified a person of interest who knew Rice and arrested 44-year-old Christine Sanchez a few days later. Authorities said Sanchez was found in Rice’s car and charged with murder with a deadly weapon and robbery with a deadly weapon. Witnesses told police Rice had loaned Sanchez the car and had been trying to get it back; a friend said Rice had seemed unusually afraid of Sanchez in the days before her death.

Prosecutors pursued charges initially, but Sanchez was released pending further investigation after blood tests failed to link her to the scene, and the Clark County District Attorney’s Office voluntarily dismissed the charges in June 2017. The Rice case remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Rice, her last days, or the vehicle she loaned to Sanchez?
