Elko County Rose Garden

This is intended to be a community links page for Elko, Elko County and northeastern Nevada. These are not the only web sites Elko has to offer. They are just the ones I have collected thus far that are obscure, interesting and in a few cases even a bit bizarre. A conscious effort has been made to exclude boring, repetitive, profane, naughty or inappropriate sites. This project started out as a one page collection of internet sites in Northeastern Nevada. I was delighted to find that there are so many neat sites in our area. Many are not to be found on the big search engines and have been tracked down or submitted to this links page. I hope you enjoy these pages and contact or visit some of the places of interest in person.

THE MASS MURDERER HIT LIST

PART 3

"Laxma Reddy (3) On March 18, 1997, Laxma, a medical professional, killed his wife, her 13-year-old daughter and his father-in-law in Brookline, Massachusetts. The three victims were shot in the head execution-style in their beds. Three days later, after an All-Points-Bulletin was put out for him, he was shot and killed when he pulled a gun on a sheriff's deputy during an unrelated traffic stop in Elko, Nevada."
