Police seeking wife of man killed at condo

Las Vegas police said Monday that the person they were seeking in last week's fatal stabbing at the Panorama Towers condo is the wife of the man who was killed.

Also Monday, police in California said they had found a woman wanted in connection with a Las Vegas homicide.

San Luis Obispo police had been told by their counterparts in Las Vegas that the woman was at the Petit Soleil Motel and was suicidal. San Luis Obispo police said they found her unconscious in her motel room. She remained hospitalized in intensive care in San Luis Obispo Monday afternoon, and Las Vegas police were travelling to San Luis Obispo "to continue their investigation," according to San Luis Obispo police press release.

California authorities withheld her name and age and did not say for which Las Vegas homicide she was wanted. Las Vegas police would not confirm that the hospitalized woman is the wife of the man who was found dead of multiple stab wounds Friday night in a bedroom of condo 2300 at the Panorama Towers, 4525 Dean Martin Drive, near Harmon Avenue and Interstate 15.

Police said they had received an anonymous tip that the dead man, whose name and age continued to be withheld Monday, was in that particular 2,400-square-foot unit. Police said the owner of the condo, William Fry, was not the victim.

A real estate Web site lists a 2,200-square-foot Panorama condo as renting for $4,500 a month.

Las Vegas police Lt. Lew Roberts said his homicide detectives needed to interview the dead man's wife "and go from there." Police were looking for her through the weekend.

Laurence Hallier, chairman of Hallier Properties, the developer of Panorama Towers, said police asked him not to comment on the homicide.
