NV NV - Venita Holzman, 22, Las Vegas, 1 January 1963 *NamUs #MP143151*

I would suspect she worked at a New Year's Eve party and staff often are there until 1:30-2 cleaning up so that would mean Jan 1.

Help me out here. So if we are looking for a body, it might have been discovered any number of years later.

Thoughts on this for a possible match? https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/software/main.html?id=1235UFCO

There is DNA available according to the Doe Network.

P.S. No exclusions yet.

Very strange, no? Someone found a human skull in Durango, Colorado and instead of contacting police in that jurisdiction they brought the skull all the way to Balch Springs, Texas?
In the 1970s that would have been a very long drive (about 16 hours).

These details raise concerns.

Hopefully they’ve done forensic facial recognition on the skull.

Heres’s a video about the process.

I sent in the skull to Nevada LE to see if there is a match.

Did anyone ever do a facial reconstruction from that skull?

Related: I found 3 marriage records in Clark County for a Zel Holzman/Zelik Holzman. Ruth Leonard, Bernice Regeir, and Matilda Bloom. I did not find any for Venita.

Zel , went by Joe Holzman. Thats my grandfather, he passed away but never lived in Las Vegas. He lived In Fresno, California. Which is where he and my grandmother Venita lived. His last wife is Marlene

 

[Stephanie5243]

wow, he was quite the womanizer

He was an absolute womanizer and extremely abusive. Zel ( Joe Holzman ) is my grandfather who has now passed on but oddly treated me very well.

Thank you for being open and honest here about your grandfather. It’s not easy to share that online. I hope the case for Venita, your grandmother, can be solved. This must be difficult for your family. Not knowing what happened or where Venita ended up.
So young and beautiful.
