section for other paragraphs --> Luella Beckley was last seen on December 15, 1953, by her landlady. Luella worked as a waitress and had stepped out of her apartment at 210 Center Street presumably to get her paycheck. She never returned home. She left behind all her personal items, including her devoted pet dog. Luella's mom received a telegram, purportedly signed by Luella, the week of Christmas. The telegram was sent from Las Vegas. The content of the telegram wasn't released to the public, but in a letter sent to Reno police from Luella's mom, foul play was suspected. Luella had previously been employed at the Nevada Club and Bank Club in Reno.
