Garrison was the only prosecutor to bring charges against an individual in connection with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His investigation and subsequent trial was portrayed in the movie JFK. Long before Hollywood told the story of Garrison, John Barbour was attempting to get the news about this investigation out to a wider audience.

Barbour claims that he twice tried to get the news about Garrison’s investigation out to the mainstream media, but each time his attempts were thwarted. He also claims that the New Orleans conspiracy investigated by Garrison has ties to Las Vegas as well. According to Barbour, the assassination plot against Kennedy began with the CIA recruiting Vegas mobsters to kill Fidel Castro. He believes that some of those same individuals were later involved in Kennedy’s death.

While he was largely unsuccessful at drawing attention to Garrison’s work, he did create a documentary that has been widely received. Titled “The Garrison Tapes”, parts of it can be viewed on his official website johnbarboursworld.com.

Visitors to the site can check the photographs and physical descriptions of suspects, most of who are believed to still be in the Las Vegas area. Those who recognize an individual should not attempt to apprehend that person, but instead contact Metro police at 702-385-5555 or text the information to “crimenv.”

There are currently seven men that are wanted for murder listed on the agency’s website, one of who has been sought by police for more than 18 months. There are also several men and women wanted for offenses such as pandering, living from the earnings of a prostitute and pandering a child.

The Las Vegas FBI also posts wanted suspects on its website. There are currently three men who are wanted for murder listed on this agency’s most wanted page. In addition, the FBI also operates an additional page devoted to suspects wanted for bank robbery throughout the state of Nevada. They also offer a reward for individuals who provide information that leads to an arrest.

All suspects should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Las Vegas residents are encouraged to check “most wanted” websites frequently and contact the appropriate law enforcement office with relevant information.

Many people enjoy listening to police scanners in order to keep them informed about what’s going on. The problem with this is that when an individual is out of the area, a scanner will not be useful to them. Police scanners can also be expensive and are cumbersome to carry around from place to place. Now there is a way to listen to the Las Vegas police and fire departments at any time or any place via the Internet.

Several websites have Vegas police feeds including vegasscanner.com, broadcastify, dxzone, tunein.com and policescanner.info. These sites will allow citizens to listen to police dispatchers online much as they would normally do with a scanner. Some programs are even compatible with mobile devices such as iPhones and tablets.

Listening to police activity online is generally more convenient because residents can listen while they are at work or on the go. It also allows people to keep up with the events that are happening back home whenever they happen to be out of town. Tourists who are planning a visit to Las Vegas might find listening to an online scanner helpful, as this could alert them as to which areas of town they might want to avoid.

There is a down side to online listening, and that is when Internet service is interrupted, users are unable to hear police activity. Even so, the benefits more than outweigh the disadvantages.  Residents will begin to understand the complexity of crime and legal implications after listening to feeds like this for an evening.

A Las Vegas crime victim who was beaten in October 2011 has died as a result of his injuries. Police say that Nathaniel Young, 57, passed away on April 23 after suffering for a year and a half with head injuries. Those injuries were the result of a physical attack that remains unsolved.

The attack occurred on October 21, 2011, when Young was discovered by Metro police officers lying in the street unconscious and severely beaten. They took the man to University Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries. It is not known what kind of treatment he received for his injuries since that time. There are also few details available about the circumstances surrounding his death.

The Clark County Coroner determined that Young’s cause of death was blunt force trauma resulting from the October 2011 attack. As a result, the death has been ruled a homicide. An investigation is now underway to try to find the person or persons who are responsible for the October 2011 attack and bring them to justice.

There are currently no suspects in this case, so police are asking for help from members of the public. Those who have information on Young’s beating can contact Crime Stoppers at 385-5555. They may also contact the homicide division of the Metropolitan Police Department at 828-5321. Callers may remain anonymous if they wish.
