Las Vegas prosecutors seek death for man accused of killing couple, storing their bodies for 10 years
Prosecutors in Las Vegas are seeking the death penalty against a 52-year-old man who pleaded not guilty Thursday to killing a couple in their 80s, hiding their bodies in storage for more than 10 years and cashing their Social Security benefits.
A judge set trial in October 2016 for Robert Dixon Dunn on murder, robbery and theft charges in the slaying of Joaquin Sierra and Eleanor Sierra.
Prosecutor David Stanton says Dunn kept drawing benefit checks totaling $200,000 or more from the Sierras after they were last seen in February 2003.
Dunn's public defender, Amy Feliciano, declined to comment.
Stanton calls Dunn an accomplished con man, and says investigators aren't sure if he had victims in places including northern Oregon, Southern California, central Pennsylvania and upstate New York's southern tier.
