Gwen Takely Lewis was 35 when she vanished from Las Vegas in the winter of 1985. The last confirmed sighting was December 15, 1985, at the Starview Motel on East Fremont Street; the last person known to have seen her was her boyfriend. The official missing person report was not filed until September 26, 1986, more than nine months after she was last seen.
Lewis is described as a Black female with red hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 2 inches and about 95 pounds. Investigators note an extensive list of aliases tied to her identity, including Gwendolyn Tackla Brook, Gwen Brooks, Gwendolyn Cato, Gwen Collins, Latanya Davis, Gwen Harris, Marie Collins Hopkins, Irene Botella Hooper, Faye Jackson, Barbara Jackson, Toya James, Toya Jones, Karen Willcox, Gwendolyn Williams, and Delores Young, which complicates efforts to trace her movements.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is handling the case and it remains unsolved. If anyone knew Gwen, her movements in Las Vegas in 1985, or recognizes any of her known aliases, can you share information that might help locate her?
