15 Years Later: Who Killed Josh Dufort?

Josh Dufort was 23 years old, living in Las Vegas, and trying to build a career in acting. He was described as always smiling, always positive, and the one who always made others feel included. 

He had a big family, a girlfriend who loved him, and a wide circle of friends who genuinely enjoyed being around him. He hadn’t even come to Las Vegas for acting at first, but once he got here, he found a path and started chasing it. He found work wherever he could, including some acting roles and a gig at Rehab, the legendary pool party event at the Hard Rock Casino. 

On November 7, 2010, Josh left a party after getting a call from a close friend and business partner. The next day, his loved ones learned what no one is ever prepared to hear. Josh had been murdered.

The circumstances didn’t make sense. Nothing was taken from him. There were details that suggested this wasn’t random, that this was something deliberate and personal.

As the investigation unfolded, attention turned toward someone Josh trusted. What investigators uncovered raised serious questions, including evidence that pointed to something calculated happening behind the scenes. Despite everything that was uncovered, it wasn't enough to close the case or lead to an arrest. 

More than 15 years later, no one has been charged, and Josh’s family is still left without answers, without closure, and without justice.

There is much more to this story: details about relationships, decisions, and evidence that make this case as frustrating as it is heartbreaking. We walk through all of it in this week’s episode of Sins & Survivors.
