This case is so scary. David Morgan was considered the main suspect in four missing people cases: his wife, Marie Morgan and her lover, Gabriel Vincent; his former associate, Donald Cowan; and his girlfriend, Diana Leone.

Gabriel Vincent (1979):
Vincent was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada. He rented property from David Dale Morgan, a prominent and wealthy local landowner, at the time of his disappearance.
Vincent rented a storage facility from David in the 3200 block of west Teco Avenue, off of Sunset Road. David lived at the storage facility, Abacus Mini-Storage, with his family. Two of his employees, Fred and Avis Hackett, also lived there. Vincent disappeared on November 15, 1979 and has never been heard from again. He was last seen driving a 1970 Dodge van. He never picked up his last paycheck.
Vincent was apparently having an affair with David's second wife, Marie Morgan, in 1979. He took photographs of her performing sex acts and attempted to blackmail David with them. David was enraged by Vincent's actions.
The Hacketts reported hearing shots fired while they were at home around the time Vincent disappeared. Fred also admitted David came to him and asked for help in disposing Vincent's body. The two men allegedly loaded Vincent's corpse into his own van and buried it in the desert off U.S. 95 at the Mount Charleston exit.
David later confessed Vincent's murder to Marie's sister, Kim Smith. He said he ambushed Vincent at the storage facility, shot him in the groin and tortured him before shooting him to death. He told Smith he buried the remains and covered the grave with quicklime to hasten decomposition. Authorities believe he may have moved the body sometime later.

Marie Morgan (1980):
Marie was last seen in the 5800 block of Michelin Circle in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 10, 1980. Her husband, David Dale Morgan, is the prime suspect in her disappearance. Marie was reported missing by an employee of the Women's Crisis Center, a women's shelter Marie had sought assistance from when she wanted to escape David's abuse.
In 1979, Marie had had an affair with Gabriel Vincent. Vincent took photographs of her performing sex acts and attempted to blackmail David with them. David was enraged by this. Vincent disappeared on November 15, 1979 and has never been heard from again. Marie disappeared seven months after Vincent did. In 1985, David's sister, Deloris Morgan, came forward and said David had confessed to murdering both of them.
She said David had forced her at gunpoint to help him move Marie's remains in the Nevada desert in 1980. They buried the body along Highway 95 past Indian Springs, Nevada, near mile marker 124. Deloris says her brother forced her to move the body again several months later. He covered Marie's gravesite with cement. Deloris attempted to lead investigators to the location, but she was unable to identify the site. She died of natural causes in 1987.
