SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. -- Authorities in the Nebraska Panhandle are renewing their efforts to find the person responsible for a Scottsbluff man's death 15 years ago.

On January 2, 2008, 40-year-old Jason Vesper was found injured in his blue Dodge Dakota pickup. He would later die from his injuries, which included being stabbed.

Portions of the events leading up to his death were captured on security video, though winter weather prevented authorities from being able to identify a suspect.

Vesper died within blocks of his home.

In an email sent out Monday morning, Scottsbluff Police said it is attempting to find anyone with information connected to the crime. 

Anyone with Information is encouraged to contact the Scottsbluff Police Department at (308) 632-7176 or anonymously via Scotts Bluff County Crime Stoppers at (308) 632-STOP (7867).
