“Cincinnati Woman Gwenn Marie Story Identified as Victim in 1979 Las Vegas Cold Case”

Accident – Death – Obituary News : LAS VEGAS (WXIX) – In a major breakthrough, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has finally solved a 1979 cold case, identifying the remains found as those of Gwenn Marie Story, a 19-year-old woman from Cincinnati who had been missing for over four decades. The LVMPD homicide cold case section was able to make this breakthrough after DNA scientists utilized genealogy search techniques, which commenced in September 2022, to develop leads.

The victim, Gwenn Marie Story, had been referred to as Sahara Sue Doe for years, as her body remained unidentified since it was discovered in August 1979 at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the investigators and advancements in DNA technology, her true identity has now been revealed.

According to the investigation, Gwenn Marie Story, born in February 1960, embarked on a journey to California in the summer of 1979, accompanied by two male friends. Her purpose was to locate her biological father. Sadly, her friends returned to Cincinnati in August 1979 and informed her family that they had left her in the Las Vegas area.

Devastatingly, the Story family never heard from Gwenn Marie again after she set off on her quest to find her father in California. It has been a painful and uncertain period for her loved ones, who have tirelessly sought closure and answers for over four decades.

The LVMPD is urging anyone with information about Gwenn Marie Story or the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and subsequent murder to come forward. They can contact the homicide cold case section at 702-828-3521 or email homicide@lvmpd.com. Any leads or information, no matter how small, could prove crucial in bringing justice to Gwenn Marie and her family.

This breakthrough in the Gwenn Marie Story case highlights the importance of never giving up on unsolved crimes. The dedication of the LVMPD and the advancements in DNA technology have provided closure to a grieving family and brought us one step closer to ensuring justice for victims of cold cases.
