It’s a mystery even local historians can’t crack.
Are the statues local history buff Jeff Young acquired in a recent estate sale survivors of the notorious MGM Grand fire that killed 85 people in 1980?
Available evidence appears to suggest they are.
Young wants to know the answer because he believes that if the statues are truly survivors of the fire that they should be publicly displayed as the artifacts they are.
A photograph from the fire in the Review-Journal’s photo archives could provide some answers.
