Widow seeks ring lost in Vegas

Tammy Bishop is asking strangers in Las Vegas to help her find a specific gold band.

The ring belonged to Will Mulroy, her late husband, who lost it during their wedding celebration on Oct. 20.

The couple married at the Viva Las Vegas Chapel. After the ceremony, they boarded a party bus to tour the Strip.

Bishop said Mulroy noticed the ring was missing when they arrived at a bar.

"He looked down and his band was gone. He lost it. He started crying," Bishop said.

Mulroy had recently lost weight, and the ring had become two sizes too big. Bishop believes it slid off on the bus or while he transferred into his wheelchair.

The couple retraced their steps and asked the bus driver and staff to search. No one found the item.

Bishop joked the next day that he lost it in less than 24 hours. The group laughed, but the humor faded quickly.

Mulroy died three days after the wedding. He was in pain during the drive home to South Dakota.

He planned to visit the emergency room upon their return. The following morning, he was congested, so Bishop told him to skip work. She could not wake him and called 911.

Doctors declared him brain dead at the hospital. He remained on life support for 24 hours. His heart stopped three times in the ER.

Mulroy and Bishop met in July 2023. They began dating in March 2024. A week after starting the relationship, Mulroy was in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed. He kept asking her to marry him, and she agreed this summer. On her Oct. 4 birthday, he told her the Vegas trip was fully booked. He first saw her in her wedding dress when she stepped out to the party bus. He worked at Fleet Farm and had experience with party buses. The couple planned to start their own party bus business. Bishop described him as mechanically inclined and self-reliant. The rings were blessed. "It would mean a lot," Bishop said. "That was him and how much it meant to him. That is why it means so much to me."
