TL;DR Summary

The body of a teenage girl found in Las Vegas in 1979 has been identified as Gwenn Marie Story, a 19-year-old from Ohio who had left home in search of her biological father. The victim, previously known as "Sahara Sue Doe," was identified through advancements in DNA testing. Story's family reported that she had traveled to Las Vegas with two male friends, who later returned without her. Authorities are now focusing on these two friends to determine how Story ended up dead near the Las Vegas Strip. This breakthrough comes as genetic testing has led to more identifications and arrests in long-unsolved cases.
