twitterPolice still search for strangling victim’s guns
Thursday, Aug. 10, 2000 | 2:31 a.m.
Metro Police have not been able to locate two guns stored in the home of a 77-year-old Las Vegas man who was found slain in July.
Metro detectives are not sure whether the missing guns have anything to do with the slaying of Leo Spiegler, whose body was found July 21 in his ransacked home near downtown, Sgt. Kevin Manning said.
"We can't say whether they were stolen because he was sort of a pack rat, and the family hasn't gone through the whole house," Manning said. "He also owned several guns which were found, many of them stashed in some unusual places inside the home."
Spiegler, a retired sheriff's deputy from Chicago, was beaten and strangled, according to an autopsy performed by the Clark County coroner's office.
Manning said police are at a loss to pinpoint a motive for the killing. "We don't have any witnesses," Manning said.
