Details of Disappearance​

Leone resided in the 3000 block of West Tecos Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada with her boyfriend, David Dale Morgan, and their two children. A photograph of David is posted with this case summary. Leone and David met in 1981, when she was 16 and he was 50 years old. She moved into his home and started working at one of his businesses, Abacus Mini-Storage, shortly afterwards.

There is a long-standing history of domestic violence in their relationship. David was charged with her attempted murder in 1989 after he beat her with a pipe and Leone suffered numerous fractures. The charges were dropped after Leone refused to testify against him in court.

David was arrested for additional alleged domestic violence incidents in May 1997 and March 1999. He was also charged with child endangerment in January 1992. Leone continuously refused to cooperate with authorities and all domestic violence charges were eventually dropped against David.

Leone was last seen in Las Vegas sometime during February 2000. She left all of her personal belongings behind at her residence, including her clothes, money and vehicle. She has never been heard from again.

David never reported her as a missing person. He claimed that Leone was having an affair with a man named "Tim" and said that she left Las Vegas with him. One of Leone's family members alerted law enforcement about her disappearance in October 2000, eight months after she vanished.

Leone and David's seven-year-old daughter told authorities that she witnessed her parents having an argument the night before Leone disappeared. The child said that David pushed Leone through a plate glass window inside their residence, then smashed her head into their refrigerator.

It is believed that the fight revolved around David's belief that Leone was conducting an affair. Authorities stated that they located a male friend of Leone's in October 2000. Reportedly, David believed that she was romantically involved with the individual.

Investigators said that there was no evidence Leone and the man were having an affair. Officials are still attempting to verify the existence of "Tim."

The couple's home was searched in November 2000 and investigators announced they discovered evidence that suggested Leone did not leave of her own accord. Authorities said that foul play was suspected in her disappearance......

There is much more to read if you click the link.
