60 years later, Nevada homicide victim identified as missing Calgary woman

Nearly 60 years after she went missing in the Nevada desert, a Calgary woman’s remains have been identified, but the circumstances surrounding her death remain murky.

Anna Sylvia Just was initially reported missing by her sister after she was last seen boarding a bus in Calgary on Aug. 17, 1966.

She was 29 years old at the time.

Two years later, Las Vegas police filed a missing person report for Just after her belongings were found near the city of Henderson, Nev., around 26 kilometres outside of the Gambling Capital of the World.

But it would be more than half a century before DNA technology would allow investigators to make the connection between that woman who boarded a bus on the Prairies with the victim in the Mojave Desert.
