Summary

Dana MacKay was born in Los Angeles, California, on February 12 1956. Dana had a daughter, Misty, born around 1980, with a woman named Alifonsa. Dana was a well known personality in Las Vegas in the late 70’s and through the 80’s. Dana was the image of the King, and even in candid family photos he looks like he could pass for Elvis. He didn’t just look like Elvis, he sounded like him, too. Dana was able to perform the king's hits with a backup band and his own vocals. He eventually decided to hang up his white rhinestone jumpsuit and focus on his other passion which was landscaping. However, Dana wouldn’t be able to fulfill his new dream of running a successful landscaping business. This is his story. Cold case detectives believe the case can be solved with more input from the public. Anyone with information is urged to call LVMPD Homicide Section at 702-828-3521 Resources: https://themurderdiariespodcast.com/episodes/template-m3hzg Music Used: Walking with the Dead by Maia Wynne Link: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Maiah_Wynne/Live_at_KBOO_for_A_Popcalypse_11012017 License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Fretless by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3777-fretless License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Chill Wave by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3498-chill-wave License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Our Links: Website: https://themurderdiariespodcast.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themurderdiariespod Buy Us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mdiariespod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themurderdiariespod/ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdgBwpV1/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@themurderdiariespod Edited by: https://www.landispodcastediting.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
