Although Schumacher wouldn’t speculate, the body could belong to veteran Vegas casino host Johnny Pappas. Pappas disappeared on Aug. 18, 1976, after telling his wife he planned to meet someone interested in buying his boat.<\/p>\n
Less than a week later, on May 7, 2022, another body was found on a sand bar near Lake Mead\u2019s Callville Bay. Foul play is not suspected in that case, since the coroner\u2019s office is investigating without assistance from homicide police.<\/p>\n
