Police in Las Vegas are asking for the public’s help to find three missing people across the valley, including one adult who has been missing since November. On Friday, officers released photos and descriptions, saying the cases span different parts of the region and urging anyone with information to come forward.
Who Police Are Trying to Find
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has identified the missing as 41-year-old Heidy Cipriani, 35-year-old Deedwin Washington and 31-year-old Shaunte L. Neff, according to News 3 LV. Cipriani, who has been missing since November, is known to frequent the Fremont Street Experience, while Washington and Neff were reported missing earlier this month, the outlet reports.
Descriptions and Last-Seen Details
Police also released some distinguishing details for each person. Cipriani has hazel eyes and brown hair and has tattoos that include a marijuana leaf on her back and a skull on her hip. She is also known by the nicknames “XOAS” and “SPINNING LADY.”
Washington was last seen around 6 p.m. on Feb. 9 near the 600 block of Shadow Lane near Alta Drive, carrying a red duffel bag and wearing a brown, shoulder-length wig. Neff was last seen on Feb. 1 along Meadows Lilly Avenue near Rancho and Cheyenne, according to News 3 LV. The station notes that anyone with information about their whereabouts is urged to contact LVMPD at 702-828-3111.
How Common Are Missing-Person Reports?
