Venita Holzman Missing: Las Vegas 1963 Mystery Uncovered

Missing Person: Venita Gale Holzman (née Bowers)

Details from a government source (might be paraphrased):

Venita Holzman was last seen in 1963 at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, after working a shift. No vehicle or additional details provided.

Last contact: 1963

NamUs says January 1st of 1963 is when she went missing but "January 1st" is likely just a placeholder date. Her birthdate was July 19th, 1940 and her age at the time of her disappearance was 22. Based on this, presumptively, she was last seen between January 1st, 1963 and July 18th, 1963.

Last location: Las Vegas, Nevada - Flamingo Hotel (modern address is 3555 S. Las Vegas Boulevard)
Age when Venita Holzman disappeared: 22
DOB: July 19th, 1940
Sex: Female
Height in inches: 67
Weight in pounds (lbs): 120

Unraveling the Mystery: Key Insights and Updates

By: Shane Lambert
Original time of writing: August 17th, 2025

Tonight, I had a look at the enigmatic disappearance of Venita Gale Holzman (née Bowers), a 22-year-old White/Caucasian female who vanished from Las Vegas, Nevada, sometime between January 1st and July 18th, 1963. The disappearance occurred after her shift at the Flamingo Hotel. Unfortunately, there were scant details beyond her workplace exit. I did not find a missing persons report about this case in journalism from the 1960s.

The MP was involved in 1957 divorce filings that did not come to fruition until 1959. She (or someone with the same name and city of residence) was in a minor house fire incident in June 1957, which would have happened in the months after her marriage went south. Zel Holzman, who was her husband (may have been Joseph Zel Holman/November 2nd, 1952 Fresno Bee), is someone she sought divorce from for reasons of extreme cruelty.

I think this Zel Holman was involved in another divorce in 1956 from someone named Joyce Marguerite Holzman. Furthermore, this woman, Joyce Marguerite, was involved in an injurious accident that appeared to involve brake failure around the time of her marriage to Zel turning south. Zel, which could be short for Zelick, and Marg were married from 1951 or 1952 to 1956. Joyce Marguerite reportedly alleged cruelty as the reason for divorce as well.

April 2nd, 1955. The Fresno Bee.

I did consider it eyebrow raising that both Marguerite and Venita were involved in potentially life-threatening incidents around the times of their divorce proceedings to Zel, a car accident and a house fire respectively.

Venita's tumultuous marriage could be set aside because it seemed to be finalized in 1959 and she did not go missing until 1963. However, anytime you see the phrase "extreme cruelty" alleged by a woman who goes missing, I think it's only natural to look at the person that she was talking about.

Yet, if that is set aside in the name of trying to look at the whole picture, Venita appears to have disappeared during her work commute. That is what I am taking the reports of her being last seen at work to mean. Commuters are usually in a fairly predictable pattern, which brings a potential stalker into the equation, someone who could have figured out her patterns and planned accordingly.

Zel Holman did marry again and he seemed to be involved in a divorce again. He remarried in 1959 and sought a divorce in 1966 with one Bernice L. Holzman. This time he was the one citing cruelty according to the newspaper clipping below.

Venita's missing person report at NamUs was not created until May 4th, 2025. That's a 62-year gap between her last-seen time and the NamUs creation date without any documented missing person report that I could find.

Missing Person Report: Alana M. Vasquez - Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

By: Shane Lambert
Original time of writing: June 18th, 2025

Case Overview: Alana M. Vasquez

Case Number: NamUs #MP143619
Name: Alana M. Vasquez
Age at Disappearance: 16 years
Current Age: 16 years
Date of Last Contact: May 5th, 2025 (2PM-7PM)
Missing From: Sinking Spring, PA
Last Known Location: Taco Bell, Wyomissing, PA

Physical Description:
Sex: Female | Race/Ethnicity: Hispanic/Latino | Height: 5’4” | Weight: 110 lbs | Hair: Brown | Eyes: Brown | Distinctive Features: None

Circumstances: Alana was dropped off at Taco Bell (1199 Berkshire Blvd, Wyomissing) on May 5th, 2025, at 11:00 AM for her shift. She finished work but didn’t return home, last seen between 2PM and 7PM. She has ties to Reading and Philadelphia, PA.

Commentary and Insights

Alana’s disappearance is alarming due to her young age and sudden vanishing after work. One opinion I have with people who are missing after work is that it increases the likelihood of stalking. I think someone who is in their commute behaves in a more predictable and patterned way. However, this is speculative.

The limited news coverage on this case mostly repeats the NamUs data. But her shift likely lasted 3-6 hours (legal limit for a minor without parental consent). A recent case in Reading, PA, involves a 15-year-old found alive on June 16, 2025, in North Carolina with Joseph A. Rossomando, 32, arrested for kidnapping and related charges (NBC News, June 18th, 2025). Though unrelated, it highlights regional abduction risks.

Christine Marianne Harron - Missing in Hanover, Ontario Since 1993

Paraphrased details from government source**: On the morning of May 18th, 1993, Christine Harron stayed home from school as she was not feeling well. Around lunchtime, Christine and her mother argued about Christine returning to school for the afternoon. Her mother heard Christine leave the house at about 1:30 pm. Christine did not attend school that afternoon and has not been seen since. The investigation revealed that Christine left the house without her purse, money, or knapsack. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest and conviction of a male regarding the disappearance of Christine Harron, however, she remains missing.

VITAL DETAILS

Ethnicity: White or Caucasian
Sex: Female
Age at time of disappearance: 15 years old
Birthdate: Christine Marianne Harron was born between May 19th, 1977, and May 18th, 1978 based on her reported age at the last date of reported contact.
Hair: Brown, long
Eyes: Blue
Scar: None known
Height/weight: 5'3" and 110 pounds
BMI*: Christine Marianne Harron was in the normal range for BMI.
Tattoos: Christine Marianne Harron had no tattoos associated with her profile.

Christine Marianne Harron was last heard from on May 18th, 1993 when she was 15 years of age. This individual has now been missing for about 32 years as of early 2025. However, her disappearance is not as clouded in mystery as many other disappearances.

A man named Anthony Edward Ringel pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Harron's case. According to a National Post article from October 2016, he abducted, raped, and murdered the teenage girl before leaving her dead near the Saugeen River. When this river flooded in what I think was 1994 (as communicated by the NP article), the resulting currents and water flow may have moved her body.

Taking everything at face value, this isn't a case that amateurs will be able to help with much. People who go missing in water are often missing until a chance event of a geological nature or even real-estate developmental reveals them. Missing people in flooded areas are often buried underneath a lot of sediment. 

I would say that amateurs probably will not find a clue in this case. However, a news report in the area of human remains being found in association with the Saugeen River or even Lake Huron would be interesting. That said, people who are absolutely known to have fallen into a river often stay missing for decades and decades.

Christine's clothing could be cross-referenced against any Jane Does in the area. She may have had the following articles when she disappeared: a light-blue denim jacket, blue denim pants, black running shoes, and plastic glasses that were brown and had tape.

One interesting takeaway from this case is that the teen disappeared after an argument with her mother. Perhaps, that fueled the idea that Christine had been a runaway. But based on the conviction, it's clear that she met up with a clandestine individual.

There were many alleged sightings of Christine, all of which would be false if the words of Ringel were to be trusted. Given that he received a lengthy sentence for his admissions, it doesn't make sense that he's lying. But that many people reported seeing her even though she is conclusively dead is a point that can be taken away from this case. Unfortunately, sightings of missing people can be pretty frivolous. 

That does bring to mind a lot of cases involving missing people, like Paula Jean Welden. Sightings of missing people that are ambiguous should be taken with a big grain of salt in my view, but never discounted.

Thank you for reading. If have any information about this case, consider contacting the authorities.

Lillian Rochelle Holmes -- Missing From Pasadena Since 1984

Details from NamUs** (the time in the description below is disputed): 

"21-year-old Lillian Rochelle Holmes went missing in Pasadena California on 3/22/1984. Lillian was last seen by her father when she left her Pasadena home at approximately 6:30 am on her way to start a new job demonstrating products at Robinsons in the Santa Anita Mall located in Arcadia, CA. Lillian was last seen boarding an RTD bus in Pasadena carrying a blue dress over her shoulder. Lillian was never seen or heard from again. It is believed that Lillian never made it to the new job at the mall but it is unknown where exactly she vanished along her journey between her home and the mall."

By: Shane Lambert

Original time of writing: March 22nd, 2021

Lillian Rochelle Holmes was last heard from on March 22nd, 1984 when she was 21 years of age. This individual disappeared during her commute on what was her first day of a new job according to the NamUs description. She has been missing for about 41 years as of early 2025.

What stands out with this case to me was the fact that it was her first day at a new job. I considered the possibility that she was not entirely familiar with her commute. When I research modern routes, the trip between Pasadena and the mall should not have been complicated for Lillian. Evidently, things did not go as planned.

I found her in high school yearbooks from Pasadena in what would have been earlier times of her life. It's clear that she lived in the area for at least seven years prior to disappearing. She is in the 1978 Pasadena High School yearbook as a freshman. That picture is below but the one at the top of this article is from closer to the time she disappeared.

A search for journalism regarding this case failed when I used my membership at Newspapers.com. However, she was definitely covered somewhere as NamUs included an uncredited newspaper article in their profile. Apparently, this newspaper article wasn't in the newspapers that are included in the Newspaper.com database at the time of this article's research.

In reading below, you will note that the missing person had a blue dress in her possession that she had just gotten from the laundromat. The location of this laundromat would be interesting to learn. Also, the journalism indicates that she was last seen later in the day than what the NamUs description states.

I would like to credit this article to the source. If you know where it appeared, then please comment at the end of this blog post.

NamUs says she was last seen at 630AM by her father, whose name was Kenneth Holmes. However, the newspaper article clipped above says she was last seen between noon and 1pm by a bus passenger. There is a contradiction here to try and make sense of.

I think her day likely involved leaving home at 630AM, going to the cleaners, perhaps going for lunch, and then taking the bus from the laundromat to the mall where she was to start her job. That scenario is how I've made sense of the contradicting information in this case.

The following clippings are advertisements from the Robinson's store that she was going to work at. One of them may even have been the job that Lillian applied to as the timing is about right.

Sun, Feb 5, 1984 – 660 · The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) · Newspapers.com

Sun, Mar 4, 1984 – 613 · The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) · Newspapers.com

I think trying to trace her exact commute would be useful. What laundromat she used is one question in this case. Where she might have gone to lunch would be a point to note too, however, that seems difficult to figure out after all these years. 

I'm picturing an abduction in this case because of how attractive Lillian was and the fact that I think she was showing up for work eager to make a good first impression in the type of job where looks mattered to the employer. Sales Associate or Product Display positions in department stores usually feature well-dressed and attractive women. That would also attract a lot of attention her way during her commute.

Abduction on a city bus is hard to do with a grown adult like Lillian. A commotion would create witnesses. The same could be said inside the mall. In my opinion, the part of her commute where she was most vulnerable would be the mall parking lot. That is my presumptive area of interest for where she might have been abducted.

Along these lines, a similar case would be that of Cindy Lee Mellin. She was a department store employee that was practically known to have been abducted in the parking lot of the mall where she worked. In Mellin's case, it happened during her commute as well but after her shift. Mellin's disappearance was 14 years earlier in 1970 and about 80 miles away in Ventura. Mellin was 19 and she a female. That's pretty close to the same demographics as Holmes. 

These cases may be unrelated but, if you agree that the mall parking lot was the most dangerous park of Lillian's commute, then they do have some interesting similarities. If either missing person is to be found then certainly a lot of work remains to be done.

Cellastine Wade -- Missing Since April 26th, 1968 from New Jersey

Details from NamUs**: Cellastine was last seen by her family in Jersey City NJ, approximately 1967-1968, where she disappeared after work. Her family never heard from her again.

Missing Person: Cellastine Wade
Last-contact date: April 26th, 1968
The area where the MP was last seen: Jersey City, New Jersey
Link to government source: #MP77996

VITAL DETAILS

Ethnicity: Black
Sex: Female
Age at time of disappearance: 18 years old
Birthdate: between April 27th, 1949 and April 26th, 1950; might be November 30th, 1949

• The range is calculated using the missing person's age on the date of her disappearance.

Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Scar: None indicated
Height/weight: 5-foot-3 to 5-foot-6 and 95 to 110 pounds
BMI*: Cellastine Wade was in the normal range for BMI.

• Please, Google-search BMI if you aren't familiar with the phrase. I think it's an important tool to be aware of when working on missing person cases.

Cellastine Wade, a missing person, was last heard from on April 26th, 1968 when she was 18 years old.
She has now been missing for 53 years as of the original publication date of this blog post.

One detail, in this case, is that she went missing in 1968 and yet her profile was not uploaded to NamUs until February 2021. That's an enormous gap and it can't be ignored. It's possible that she is among the known Jane Does of America already. However, there is not a lot to go on for cross-referencing her case to Jane Does. She could match up to many with the details that have been provided.

This promises to be a difficult case for Websleuths or amateur investigators. The missing person did not have any articles or items associated with her in the missing person's reports that I consulted.

I was not able to find her in Ancestry easily. Nor did her exact name produce any hits in Newspapers.com. I did find a couple people that I thought might have been relatives, however, I'm not certain as to that status either. I think this case takes on new life for Websleuths or amateur investigators if a family member that knows details of Cellastine opens up about them.

For lack of details on this case, I decided to use Grok for information (X's AI tool/March 6th, 2025). The bot admits that there are sparse details available on this case. I decided to use the cross-out feature to eliminate things that I didn't like while still leaving it readable to the reader. So note, that the crossouts are added details.

"Long-Shot Lead:

• • Cellastine Wade may have been connected to an unidentified workplace incident or transient population tied to Jersey City’s industrial scene in 1968.
  • Potentially linked to a Jane Doe case in a neighboring state.
• Basis:
  • NamUs states she was last seen “by family after work” on April 26, 1968.
  • Jersey City in 1968: a hub of factories, warehouses, and shipping (e.g., textile mills, chemical plants, Colgate’s waterfront facility).
  • Cellastine, 18, from a working-class background (1950 census: 629 Grand Street), likely worked a low-wage job nearby.
  • “After work” might hint at more than a casual detail—possible trouble (accident, predator, or spontaneous decision) tied to her workplace or commute.
  • No foul play noted; JCPD may have assumed voluntary departure.
  • Photo’s survival (via NamUs API) suggests family insisted something was wrong.
• The Stretch:
  • Jersey City’s location near highways (e.g., Route 1/9 to Holland Tunnel) and rail lines made vanishing—or being taken—across state lines feasible.
  • Long-shot angle: check unidentified remains from 1968–1970 in nearby states (New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio) where transient workers/runaways surfaced.
  • Example: Jane Doe found 1969 in Columbia County, NY (120 miles north)—young Black woman, 16–20, no origin, speculated on Websleuths as a Cellastine match.
  • No DNA/dental link yet, but timing and “after work” clue could fit if she hitched a ride or was trafficked post-shift.
• Why It’s a Long Shot:
  • No evidence pins her to a specific job or confirms she left Jersey City.
  • JCPD likely limited investigation to local inquiries in ‘68—cold case inertia and under-resourcing typical for a Black teen’s disappearance then.
  • Photo shows family persistence, but no 1968 workplace records (e.g., factory logs) or witnesses make it a needle-in-a-haystack scenario.
  • Jersey City’s industrial churn produced many missing persons—some ending as unidentified Does elsewhere.

Kierra Coles -- Pregnant Postal Worker Missing Since October 2018

Ethnicity/Race: Black
Sex: Female
Age at time of disappearance: 26 years old
Hair: Black
Eye color: Brown
Height and weight at the time of disappearance: 5'4" and 125 pounds

Tattoos: Tattoo of a heart on her right hand/wrist; "Lucky Libra" tattooed to her back

Pregnant: 3 months into pregnancy at the time of her disappearance
Clothing: Postal worker uniform

Vehicle: found in front of her apartment with her purse, cell phone, and a packed lunch still inside

Social Media: Facebook Group

Hashtag: #WhereIsKierraColes

The case of Kierra Coles is one that is popular in the media and it has received a lot of coverage.

One factor in that is that Coles was a postal worker. I'm assuming that since her clothing at the time of her disappearance was a "Postal worker uniform" that she went missing while on duty or while on her commute. That is a significant part of this case, in my opinion. 

Below, is a news video that covers some details of her disappearance. The posting date of the video is September 2020. It includes a segment of a surveillance video that may be of Coles. However, the father expresses his disbelief in this.

That Kierra was in her work uniform indicates that she was in her daily routine. I don't know of any cases of missing people where the MP was a postal employee on duty at the time of her disappearance. 

However, there are plenty of cases of missing women who went missing during their work shifts or commutes. An attractive woman who goes missing while she is in her daily work-related routine may have been abducted by someone who had daily visual access to the area where she was last seen.

Whenever a woman goes missing, the boyfriend or husband might draw some attention. That may be all the more the case when pregnancy is involved. However, it's also important not to develop tunnel vision. 

If Kierra went missing while walking a route that she used day after day, then questions of who knew her route and who was attracted to her should come into play. If her pregnancy wasn't yet showing, then she might have still been attractive in the eyes of an abductor that was somehow familiar with her routine.

The uniform, the tattoos, and the fetus may all produce leads in this case, having to do with a Jane Doe ahead of DNA testing. Additionally, it would be wise to note any broken bones that she may have suffered at any point in her life in her NamUs profile.

Kierra Coles Case Update: Family Marks Birthday on September 24, 2023, Amid Ongoing Search for Missing Pregnant Postal Worker

There was an update with this case in late 2023. Nearly five years after she originally disappeared, on September 24th, 2023, her family gathered to celebrate what would have been her 31st birthday, as reported by NBC Chicago.

The event highlighted their ongoing resolve to find her, with her mother, Karen Phillips, expressing the emotional toll of her absence and frustration with the lack of progress from the Chicago Police Department. Coles, three months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, left behind her car with her purse, phone, and packed lunch inside, deepening the mystery. The family continues to push for answers in this unresolved case.

Jessica Heeringa Missing From Michigan Since 2013 -- Gas Station Employee Vanishes

Author: Shane Lambert

Original Time of Writing: December 22nd, 2020

All articles are subject to editing after the original posting.

Missing Person: Jessica Heeringa

Last seen or contact date: April 26th, 2013 (Friday) late in the evening, likely between 1050pm (time of her last sale as a clerk) and 1115pm. She may have been behind the building as a small drop of her blood was found there.

Where last seen: in Norton Shores, Michigan. She was working at an Exxon Mobil gas station as a clerk at the location that was on East Sternberg Road. The gas station was between Grand Haven Road and Highway 31. Google Maps: 43.15449809998207, -86.21656688503997.

Jessica Heeringa has been missing from Norton Shores in Michigan since April 26th, 2013. She was working at an Exxon Mobil station as a clerk. A customer, no later than 1120pm, found the gas station open but no one was around. She disappeared late in her shift, leaving her personal belongings in the store -- including $400 in her purse. The station did not have surveillance. One early article that was published a few days after her disappearance is snipped below.

Jessica Heeringa Mon, Apr 29, 2013 – 2 · Livingston County Daily Press and Argus (Howell, Michigan) · Newspapers.com

This case was treated as an abduction since an early part of the investigation. In the early coverage, they communicated interest in questioning a white male with a silver Chrysler minivan (sometimes called a van). The cash register was untouched so this didn't look like a robbery gone wrong.

The witness in the case was an off-duty employee, a woman who drove by the Exxon store. She noticed a van behind the store and circled back. I think she may have been the one that gave the description that lead to a composition sketch of the suspect and the report of the van.

Jessica Heeringa Mon, May 27, 2013 – Page A2 · Detroit Free Press (Detroit, Michigan) · Newspapers.com

The van was thought to have been captured in other footage from businesses in the area. This suspicious van may have passed Coin Zone on Grand Haven Road at about 11:04pm. They also had a video from a tavern, one that also allegedly showed the vehicle in question.

Jessica Heeringa Tue, Apr 30, 2013 – 2 · Livingston County Daily Press and Argus (Howell, Michigan) · Newspapers.com

The person of interest in the case was Jeffrey Willis, now convicted. At the time of writing, he was in prison for a separate crime that involved killing a female jogger in western Michigan. Willis is a reasonable match to the composite sketch that was generated of the driver of the minivan.

Jessica Heeringa Sat, Dec 28, 2019 – A5 · Detroit Free Press (Detroit, Michigan) · Newspapers.com

There is some closure in this case in the sense that her abductor has been brought to justice. However, Jessica remains a missing person. On that matter, her direction of travel could be speculated on.

Coin Zone, the name of the company that had the footage of the vehicle in question, is permanently closed at the time of writing. However, I found an address of 4300 Grand Haven Road in North Shores for the expired business. There's a possibility that Jessica was in this vehicle, meaning her direction of travel was northern from her last known location.

Jessica's distinctive physical characteristics, listed below, are not likely to aid in this investigation. If we assume that she is long dead then her tattoos and lazy eye would not be ascertainable should a Jane Doe be found that might be her (decomposition). Her short height of 5'1" is what should be remembered in this case, as well as the distinctive clothing that was wearing.

There is some reason to believe that she was buried near Sheridan Road and Laketon Road "near abandoned railroad tracks." However, leads on this tip have not been fruitful. 

If she is buried in the area, then future amateurs working on this case could note any human remains at future construction sites in the area. An area that may have been secluded in 2013 might be developed at a future date. Sometimes construction workers unearth human remains as the lay groundwork for foundations and that's where the strongest likelihood of finding her maybe.
