Opal Ruby Bessent, 77, was seen tending roses outside her East Las Vegas apartment around 7 a.m. on a Saturday. A few hours later, in late morning, her son arrived and found her inside the residence having suffered fatal blunt force injuries. Police treated the small complex near North 28th Street as a homicide scene and determined she had died by violent means.

Despite a narrow window between the morning sighting and the discovery, investigators have not announced any arrests or named suspects, and no clear motive has been identified.

If anyone knew Opal, saw someone near her door that morning, or has information that could help identify who entered her home, contact investigators who are still seeking answers.
