Letter from friend Yuki Takagi:
My dear friend, avid hiker, and one of original Red Rock activists, Billie Jean James, has been missing since Thursday afternoon. Since she came to the Red Rock Overlay hearing on Wednesday, you may have met her there. You may know her husband Bill James who volunteers for the National Park Service, the BLM and various wilderness or archeological organizations. The Metro Police (including search dogs on the grounds & helicopters w/ an infrared camera from air) and a number of volunteers have combed the area of the James’ house near the South Point casino since Thurs. night. “Missing Person” flyers have been distributed around the area. As of 7:00 am Sun., we have no further news. A Metro detective told us that a missing person can “move” up to 20 miles in the first 24 hrs. It’s been almost 72 hours since she was last seen at her home….her pickup truck, wallet, purse and cell phone were all left behind.
Would you print out the attached flyer and distribute it to your neighbors, friends and local stores? If you know/hear anything, please contact Metro (828-LOST).
Thank you.
Yuki Takagi
