The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is requesting assistance in identifying a person of interest in an active residential burglary investigation.
On June 5, 2026, a homeowner returned from a three-week vacation to find that his residence had been unlawfully occupied. Food and beverages had been consumed, personal property had been disturbed, and evidence indicated someone had been living inside the home.
The victim also reported that his birth certificate was missing.
During the investigation, deputies recovered a wallet containing a Visa debit card issued to Clarence Zillman, along with a Safeway receipt for the purchase of two packs of Camel cigarettes.
Investigators later obtained surveillance video from the Safeway store at the Round Hill Shopping Center that captured the individual who made the purchase associated with the recovered receipt.
The individual in the surveillance image was wearing a shirt and hat that the victim identified as his own. The shirt was later recovered inside the residence, while the hat remains missing. Investigators believe the receipt recovered from the residence is linked to the transaction depicted in the surveillance video.
Anyone who recognizes the individual in the attached photograph or has information related to this investigation is asked to contact Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Investigator JT Davis at the Stateline Office at 775-586-7253.
This investigation remains active.
