The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department recently announced a significant move for its Evidence Vault—a repository that holds over a million items, including some rather peculiar pieces. Among the trove of stored evidence is the enigmatic monolith that has captured the city's imagination since its discovery north of Las Vegas in June 2024. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shared via Facebook that, in preparation for the transition to a new facility, the current Evidence Vault will experience a change of hours; it will be closed on Fridays until further notice.
The curious monolith—standing at 77 inches tall and constructed from reflective sheet metal folded into a triangular prism—has been in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's care after concerns over public safety and the environment prompted its removal. This relic of modern intrigue, as well as the countless other items that call the vault home, will soon journey to a new dwelling. Details about the change in operations can be found on the department's website.
For those curious about the move or interested in law enforcement’s evidence collection, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's has shared a link with more information. The attention on the monolith and other items suggests the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Evidence Vault holds more than just objects, but pieces of untold stories.
