The old saying that what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas can no longer be accepted when so many young people are disappearing from Las Vegas. Nobody disappears without a trace.

There are many sites on the Internet providing help to families of lost ones, but that is never enough. When a young person disappears without any reason whatsoever, law enforcement agents should immediately request the assistance of other jurisdictions.

It is normal to hear a police detective say, “People vanish. People who do not want to be found will never be found.”

That was the opinion of many in the case of young and beautiful Ginger Rios, a 20-year-old dancer with a band that played regularly at a hotel in Las Vegas, who disappeared on April 4, 1997 from the Spy Craft store on Maryland Parkway. The owner of the store killed her and her body was later found in Arizona.

Jessie Foster disappeared from the home she was sharing with her pimp, Peter Todd, on March 28, 2006. North Las Vegas Police believes Jessie “just wanted to vanish.” They never bothered to conduct a detailed investigation on Peter Todd, a pimp well-known by local authorities, maybe because his brother was a teacher with the School District and they didn't want to tarnish his brother's reputation?

Thirty-year-old Trevor Morse moved to Las Vegas from El Paso, Texas, in 2006 to work as an electrician for a major contractor.

On May 6, 2007, a taxi driver claimed he dropped Trevor off in the 3800 block of South Town Center Drive, a supposed affluent, upscale neighborhood located on the west side of Las Vegas. Surveillance footage from a “high class” nearby shopping center showed Trevor pacing outside the building, eventually walking southwest, out of the camera's view, and disappeared.

How can that be possible that young people just disappeared from Las Vegas without a clue?

On May 14, 2010, another man disappeared from Las Vegas: Heriberto Herrera, known by his family and all his friends by the nickname “Nony.”

Detective monitors missing persons cold cases for Las Vegas police

The grainy footage opens on an abandoned parking lot that borders the desert at the southwestern edge of Las Vegas.
 
For several seconds, nothing but some frail-looking trees swaying in a light breeze.
 
Then a taxi appears and stops at the side of the parking lot. Out steps a man, his features fuzzy in the security video.
 
He stands at the side of the lot for a while, maybe waiting for the taxi to drive away, then slowly walks toward the desert. He zigzags across the camera's field of vision several times, growing more distant with each turn, finally disappearing into the horizon.
 
The whole scene takes about three minutes on a spring after­noon in 2007.
 
The man hasn't been seen since.
 
His is one of scores of cases that have landed lately on the desk of Detective Dan Holley, who in June took charge of the Metropolitan Police Department's new missing persons cold case unit. The one-man unit's mission is to solve, or at least update, roughly 600 cold cases at least 60 days old.
 
The 27-year department veteran, who has worked in the missing persons division several years, believes his new assignment might be unique.
 
"There are tons of cold case homicide units," he says. "But I think we may have the only missing persons cold case detective in the country."
 
Holley, 54, now spends his days leafing through old case files, following up on abandoned leads, reinterviewing family members and friends of adults who have gone missing in Las Vegas.
 
(Missing children's cases, he explains, don't go cold. Detectives never stop actively working them.)
