Metro Police say someone exited this white car at Hooters on the Strip and approached the vehicle of a woman who was later found dead in her abandoned car.
A woman's body was found in an abandoned vehicle last week southeast of Las Vegas and police today are searching for a person who was seen approaching the woman's vehicle the previous day at a Strip casino.
Boulder City Police found the body at 10:45 a.m. Jan. 15 in a blue 2006 Jeep Liberty with Nebraska license plates, a police report said. The abandoned vehicle was found near U.S. 95 and Nelson's Landing Road south of Boulder City.
Metro Police homicide detectives believe the victim, identified by the coroner's office as 21-year-old Prisma Contreras of Las Vegas, is the same person reported as missing the previous day. The woman was last seen entering her vehicle at 5 a.m. Jan. 14 at the Hooters casino on the Strip, where she worked as a service assistant.
Police said surveillance cameras show an unknown person exit a vehicle -- possibly a 1995-1998 model Nissan Sentra -- and approach the victim’s Jeep. That was the last time the woman was seen, police said.
The cause and manner of Contreras' death haven’t been determined, the coroner's office said Tuesday.
Anyone with any information about the woman's death or the white vehicle seen on video surveillance is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or the Metro homicide section at (702) 828-3521.

Hooter's Casino is not on The Strip.
(The woman was last seen entering her vehicle at 5 a.m. Jan. 14 at the Hooters casino on the Strip...)
Lots of white cars, lots of workers have Midwestern plates because they come up the US 81 corridor and stake out in rural towns or the rural routes until they have someone elsewhere they can contact who is working and can vouch for them.
we need FACTS
Poor girl but at 5AM she should have asked security to escort her to her car. Hooters is off the strip.
Maybe Ed Scheetz had something to do with it.
