Sister Pleads for Return of Missing Las Vegas Showgirl
Debbie Flores-Narvaez Hasn't Show for Work at Luxor Hotel For a Week
December 20, 2010

Las Vegas police are searching for a lawyer turned showgirl who has been missing for more than a week, and her sister believes the dancer may be in danger.
"Bring her home. Let her go. Let us know something. What is it that you want?" Celeste Flores-Narvaez said in an open plea for her sister's return.

Debbie Flores-Narvaez, 31, is a burlesque dancer at the Luxor Casino's "Fantasy" show. When she didn't turn up for her performance on Dec. 13, friends and loved ones were worried.

Police found her car in a parking lot in the northwest section of the city and are now conducting forensic testing. Investigators reportedly found a purse or makeup bag in the back seat.

"I just wish an officer could've come out, and somebody could've found her address from her license plate," her friend Theresa Howey said.

Woman Gave Up Law for Dance

Dancing was Debbie Flores-Narvaez's dream. According to her Facebook page, she had a law degree and a master's in finance. Her sister said she'd also been a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins.

Debbie Flores-Narvaez put all that on hold to grab a spot at headlining on the Las Vegas strip.

"It's not (like) her to go missing," Celeste Flores-Narvaez told KTNV TV, ABC News' affiliate in Las Vegas. "It's not her to take a small vacation like this."
Sister Believes Missing Woman Alive

Deon Ridley, a friend who danced with the dancer for three years, said Flores-Narvaez had expressed concern over obsessed fans.

"Being in the industry that she's in, being in a burlesque show, it's very risqué for any female in Las Vegas. Her safety is very important," her partner said.

The missing dancer's sister said police have a few persons of interest, but she is adamant that her sister is alive.

"There is no hope or prayer because she is okay. There is no ifs, ands or buts," she said.

Only the bf mentions she was sleeping in the car.  If true, why?  I believe she is dead too, Klaas.  I also think the bf did it.  Wonder if his prints were around license plate area.  I know if they were together then his prints should be all over the car but not necessarily where you attach the tag.  Bless her and her family. 

[Nut44x4]

IMO, this doesn't look good.  I believe he killed her.

I have to agree.

Five Things You Need to Know About Missing Vegas Showgirl Deborah Flores-Narvaez

Forget Burlesque or Showgirls. A real Hollywood-worthy mystery is unspooling in Las Vegas after a Sin City showgirl seemingly vanished five days ago.

Deborah Flores-Narvaez, a 31-year-old former burlesque dancer for the Luxor's Fantasy revue, failed to turn up for a rehearsal on Dec. 13. Speculation over her whereabouts has become a hot topic on the Strip and beyond.

Here are five things you should know about her strange disappearance.

1. Who Is Deborah Flores-Narvaez? A quick glance at her MySpace page reveals that she is Puerto Rican-born and - raised but grew up in Baltimore, where her family now resides. Before she was a showgirl, she had a law degree and a master's in finance. But the 5-foot-5, 120-pound beauty always dreamed of being a dancer, having studied various genres. She was also a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins during the 2007-08 seasons, plays guitar and loves to perform in front of the camera, whether it's acting, modeling or dancing. She once tried out for So You Think You Can Dance and has been living in Las Vegas for the past two years.

2. The Facts So Far: Deborah's sister, Celeste Flores, has said that the family first learned Deborah went missing after a phone call from her roommate, who said she had failed to show up for rehearsals at the Luxor. This raised eyebrows because Flores-Narvaez never missed those sessions. The family contacted police and investigators found Flores-Narvaez's maroon, four-door 1997 Chevrolet Prism abandoned in a lot in the northwestern part of the city. Her purse was left on the backseat but there were no traces of her. A forensics examination is now underway. Flores-Narvaez's last known sighting was on Dec. 12 at around 7 p.m., when she left her Vegas home to visit an ex-boyfriend.

3. The Vacation Theory? While some have suggested that Flores-Narvaez might have gone on an impromptu vacation (her MySpace profile says she's "naturally curious and analytical, which makes me pretty adventurous and willing to try almost anything once"), her sister says that's unlikely, especially since she failed to notify her family, friends or bosses at the Luxor.

4. Her Dark Fears: One of Flores-Narvaez's friends and fellow dancers, Deon Ridley, told ABC News that Flores-Narvaez had expressed concerns about obsessed fans. "Being in the industry that she's in, being in a burlesque show, it's very risqué for any female in Las Vegas. Her safety is very important," Ridley said. Anita Mann, owner of Anita Mann Productions, which produces Fantasy, released a statement last week on Deborah's disappearance: "Our hearts and prayers are with Debbie's family through this difficult time. We strongly urge anyone who may have information about her whereabouts to contact Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, immediately."

5. Was There a Mystery Man? "Debbie was kind of private when it came to her personal life," Flores said of her sister. On her MySpace page, Flores-Narvaez said she was looking for a love match, but was single.

Also on her MySpace page Flores-Narvaez left a message that suddenly could have a whole new meaning:

"It's important to live life to the fullest as you don't know what tomorrow will bring...or if it will be here, but still have a good outlook and presence for the future. And the most IMPORTANT thing to remember in this life... Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!"

Anyone with information, is encouragned to contact Las Vegas Metro's missing persons line at (702) 828-2907.

Family: Text points to woman's ex
December 20, 2010

A Las Vegas dancer and former NFL cheerleader who's gone missing sent her mother an ominous text message days before she disappeared, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday.
Police still are searching for Debora "Debbie" Flores Narvaez, 31, a cast member of Luxor's "Fantasy" show, who disappeared after leaving her Las Vegas home at approximately 7 p.m. on Dec. 12.

Her mother, Elise Narvaez, told the paper she was confused by a text message she received from her daughter on Dec. 1.

“In case there is ever an emergency with me, contact Blu Griffith in Vegas. My ex-boyfriend. Not my best friend,” the message read.

When Narvaez asked her daughter what she meant, she reportedly texted, “never mind, mommy. Just keep it for your records.”

Flores Narvaez apparently was last seen by her ex-boyfriend, identified by family members as Jason "Blu" Griffith. The woman was reported missing two days later by one of her roommates after she failed to show up for rehearsal.

Celeste Flores, the woman's sister, told FOXNews.com that Griffith, a Las Vegas dancer, has been uncooperative in providing the family with detailed information.

"I am the only one out here on behalf of my family and he doesn't want to sit down and talk to me," Flores said. "There are many inconsistencies."

Flores said Griffith told her in a phone conversation last week that the young woman visited his home around 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 12, and that the two spoke briefly at his front door.

He told me that she said she’s been depressed for the past couple of days because it was the holidays and she wasn’t around her family," Flores said.

"He also said she was sleeping in her car the past couple of nights," which Flores said was "unlike" her sister.

"Debbie was kind of private when it came to her personal life," Flores added, "but I understand from almost all of her friends that her relationship with Blu made her upset a lot."

Griffith could not be reached for comment when contacted Sunday by FOXNews.com.

Investigators reportedly found Flores Narvaez's car, a maroon 1997 four-door Chevrolet Prism, parked in the city's northeast section on Thursday. Family members told FOXNews.com that the car's Maryland license plates had been removed.

Flores Narvaez, who was born in Puerto Rico and lived with her family in Baltimore, Md., relocated to Las Vegas two years ago to pursue a dancing career. An accomplished performer, Flores Narvaez worked as an "ambassador" for the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders in 2007 and 2008, according to her MySpace page, and auditioned for the hit series, "So You Think You Can Dance."

Her profile also says that she holds advanced degrees in law and business.

"She is so kindhearted," Asia Bosley, a family friend, said in an interview Sunday. "She would give the shirt off her back for anybody."

Narvaez is described as Hispanic, 5-foot-5 and 120 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes.

No New Answers for Family of Missing Dancer
Posted: Dec 20, 2010 12:12 PM PST Updated: Dec 20, 2010 12:27 PM PST

LAS VEGAS -- Friends and family of Debbie Florez-Navarez are trying to keep their hopes up, but it has now been more than a week since the dancer disappeared.

Flores-Navarez was last seen a week ago. She is a dancer in the Fantasy show at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. She was last seen leaving the Onyx Condos near Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue.

Friends, family and volunteers searched near the Luxor this weekend, but so far, there is no new information on where she might be.

Las Vegas police says they will be questioning her most recent ex-boyfriend, who was apparently the last person to see her.

"It was a bad break-up," said Debbie's sister Celeste Flores-Narvaez. "I'm hearing different stories that it was good, it was bad. There were times when she was upset about it."

Theresa Howey reported seeing Debbie's car on Monday near an abandoned home at Carey Avenue and Lamb Boulevard. She says she saw the car on the other side of a chain link fence. "Between 3:40 and 4:15 Monday afternoon, it showed up," Howey said.

Howey wrote down the vehicle's Maryland license plate number, which matched Debbie's. Police told Howey they couldn't come out Monday, because the car was on private property. "Somebody knew that the lot was vacant," Howey said.

Police picked up the vehicle three days later. Authorities confirm they found Debbie's car, but are not confirming they found it at Carey and Lamb.

Police found a purse in Debbie's car. They are also planning to examine her cell phone records.

Anyone with information about Debbie Flores-Narvaez's whereabouts is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 385-5555 or visit the Crime Stoppers website.

Missing Dancer's Ex Arrested In October
Text Message Adds To Missing Dancer Mystery

POSTED: 3:32 pm PST December 20, 2010
UPDATED: 6:25 pm PST December 20, 2010

LAS VEGAS -- A text message sent from a Las Vegas woman days before she disappeared has added a new twist to what’s become a nationally talked-about story.

Debbie Flores-Narvaez’s mother, who lives in Georgia, said she received the message on Dec. 1, 11 days before the 31-year-old dancer went missing.

Elise Narvaez told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the message read: “In case there is ever an emergency with me, contact (Jason) Blu Griffith in Vegas. My ex-boyfriend. not my best friend.”

When she asked her daughter what that meant, Elise Narvaez said Debbie told her to keep it for her records.

“To me it doesn’t make any sense,” Flores-Narvaez’s sister, Celeste Flores-Narvaez, told FOX5 on Monday. “Just, like when you’re texting really quick, to me it doesn’t make sense.”

Celeste Flores-Narvaez arrived in southern Nevada late last week to aid in the search for her sister.

Debbie Flores-Narvaez, who at one time was a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins, is a performer in the "Fantasy" show at the Luxor hotel and casino.

After she went missing, police found her car abandoned, with its license plates removed, in a northeast Las Vegas neighborhood. There have been no statements about evidence found in the vehicle.

Authorities have spoken to Griffith, but he has not been named a suspect in the disappearance.

According to a police report, Griffith was arrested in October for violence and coercion against the dancer.

At the time of the report, Flores-Narvaez told police she had been dating Griffith for a year and was pregnant with his child. She told police that while she was in her car following a visit with an ex-girlfriend of Griffith's, he had approached her, opened her car door, taken her iPhone and elbowed her in the left chin.

The report said Flores-Narvaez had no visible facial injuries.

After following Griffith to another location, she asked for her cell phone to be returned, but Griffith threw it, Las Vegas Metro police said. When she went to pick it up, Flores-Narvaez told police that Griffith kicked her, pulled her hair and tried to take her phone again.

Police said that she had bruises on both of her legs and a chunk of hair was pulled out. Flores-Narvaez told police that after Griffith kicked her and pulled out her hair, he left in his car.

She again followed him in her car and when Griffith came to a stop, he got out and kicked the side of her car, she told police. Police said no damage was seen to her car.

Griffith told police that he got into an argument with Flores-Narvaez but didn't hit her. He said he threw her cell phone because she was taunting him with it.

“I think there is foul play somewhere,” Celeste Flores-Narvaez said. “My sister isn’t the type of person to leave and be gone this long.”

Friends of the missing dancer have set up a donation fund on Facebook, urging individuals to donate $5 to the search.

The site had raised nearly $4,000 by Monday afternoon.

Celeste Flores-Narvaez is hoping to use any money raised for a reward.

“Somebody knows something, somebody saw something. You don’t have to say your name. Just give [police] a call,” she said. “It’s the holidays. Please bring her home for the holidays.”

Police To Discuss Dancer’s Disappearance
31-Year-Old 'Fantasy' Performer Last Seen Dec. 12

POSTED: 8:22 am PST December 21, 2010
UPDATED: 8:35 am PST December 21, 2010

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas Metro police were set to hold a 10 a.m. news conference on Tuesday regarding the disappearance of Strip performer Debbie Flores-Narveaz.

At the same time, Flores-Narveaz’s ex-boyfriend, Jason “Blu” Griffith, was due in court to face a charge of coercion following an arrest in October.

According to an arrest report, Flores-Narveaz claimed Griffith took her iPhone, elbowed her in the chin, kicked her and pulled her hair following an argument.

The 31-year-old, who performs in the “Fantasy” show at the Luxor hotel and casino, was last seen on Dec. 12. Police said she stopped by Griffith’s home that evening and he was the last person to report seeing her.

Griffith has not been named a suspect in Flores-Narveaz’s disappearance.

She gave up her law degree for this?

What a shame. This has every sign of not having a happy ending. Past history of domestic violence, ex-boyfriend wanna be rapper, car found w/o plates and her last movement was in his presence. I just hope I am wrong.

I wonder if she was still pregnant when she went missing?  The Oct. report says she was pregnant then.

According to a lawyer on FOX NEWS she was pregnant, so I guess she was still pregnant. Hmm, last person to ever see her was the ex Blu and she is never seen from again. Sounds a little like Vander sloot and Natalee, eh?
