I'm not sure if this is a correct way to highlight these two cases. From the link of former member 'Sly', comes the information about another young girl, Jody Miller.

Note: This is from 2006.

NV - NV - Jody Miller, 13, Las Vegas, 21 June 1971

This case was just added to the LV cold Case Corner same link as in post above. Her picture is also on link & is now the story before Jody Miller's.

Ret. Hom. Det. Kevin Manning thinks they may have been killed by the same killer. She disappeared just 10 days before Jody Miller and was just a year older. Also found close to the same location as Jody Miller.
