Hundreds Search For Evidence of Missing Woman

Hundreds of people searched a local desert area looking for the remains of a missing Henderson woman on Saturday. Lindsay Harris, 21, disappeared last May. Harris' boyfriend spoke with Eyewitness News and gave us some more insight into this mystery.

More than two hundred volunteers and police personnel scoured the desert looking for clues that might lead to Lindsay Harris or at least her remains. Police were able to gather some evidence out there, some things that might turn out to be some of Lindsay's personal items. Some bones were found as well, but scientists ruled they were animal bones.

Robert Harris, missing woman's father, said, "It's been eight months, eight long months and emotionally this family has a long way to go before we ever get back to where we were before our baby girl left us."

Volunteers searched on foot while police used horses and ATVs. Police say some evidence was found, but they would not get into specifics.

Lindsay Harris has been missing for eight months. She was last seen at a Henderson bank. Her family says they are broken without her. Robert Harris said, "If she could get in touch with us she would."

Her family didn't know Harris worked as an escort. She moved to Las Vegas from New York with her boyfriend Solomon Barron, a music promoter. He did not want his face shown on camera. He recalls their last phone conversation. "She did not say anything out of the ordinary. She told me she was leaving the Monte Carlo."

Her car was found between the Luxor and Excalibur. Barron, who is aware Harris is an escort, says she didn't tell him of any person whom she was afraid, but did say, "She had fears. Everyone has fears." Barron said Harris wore a heart-shaped diamond studded blue Corum watch worth about $7,000.

The Harris family acknowledges that her job may have put her in harm's way. Robert Harris adds, "No matter what you've done as a young person it does not overshadow the fact that no one deserves to be murdered.

Police are still treating this as a missing person's case, not a murder. The Harris family isn't hopeful that Lindsay is alive. They say if she is she's being held against her will.

Henderson police will now examine the evidence they found in the desert to see if it did indeed belong to Lindsay Harris.
