FAMILY ARRIVES; VEHICLE FOUND

More information is coming out regarding the events leading up to the mysterious disappearance of Debbie Flores-Narvaez. The Las Vegas “Fantasy” show dancer has been missing since December 12, 2010.

Debbie’s sister, Celeste Flores-Narvaez touched down in Las Vegas from Georgia to help in the desperate search for her sister. Like many families with a missing loved one, she is completely devastated and is holding out hope that Debbie will be found safe. Statistically, it seems the deck is stacked against them, but although I don’t know the family, I would like to keep them in my thoughts and prayers in a positive light by keeping that hope alive.

Debbie’s vehicle, a maroon Chevy Prism was found and reported to LVMPD on Monday, December 13th in a not-so desirable area of Las Vegas. At the time, the car was not investigated, as it was not reported stolen and Debbie had not been reported missing at the time. By Wednesday, December 15th, the woman who reported the vehicle noticed that the Maryland license plates that were on the vehicle previously, were no longer on the vehicle. Reports regarding the contents of the vehicle  are conflicting. Some outlets are reporting there was a small bag similar to a makeup bag found in the car, others are reporting it was Debbie’s purse. The authorities are keeping details close to the vest, as they should, and as far as I can tell, there has been no official confirmation of what contents were in the vehicle.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE  AND STALKERS?   

On Debbie’s MySpace account, she makes several references to stalkers. As you can see from the screengrab on the left, she clearly tried to keep her work locations somewhat of a secret because of her apparent fear of stalkers. Whether these fears were warranted because of any incidences or just a precaution, is not clear. No information has been released that would lead one to believe that Debbie had any stalkers, although with her profession and her obvious beauty, it wouldn’t be an unlikely scenario.   

Her passion for dance and music led her to Vegas. The former Washington Redskins cheerleading Ambassador is definitely not what you would call a one-trick pony. She is well educated with degrees in law and finance. Her choice was to pursue her dream of dancing. I have read some of the most despicable things regarding Debbie and her profession. None of them are worth repeating and have nothing to do with how or why she went missing, in my opinion.  

Listening to Debbie’s sister talk, it seems extremely unlikely that Debbie would have left on her own or willingly. She had a lot to look forward to. She recently was promoted to have a solo spot in the “Fantasy” burlesque show. Certainly it was an opportunity that Debbie would not have simply walked away from. However, her former boyfriend, Jason “Blu” Griffith paints a different picture. He was the last person to have allegedly seen Debbie before her disappearance. He described her as depressed and living out of her car. Friends and family claim that the root of Debbie’s personal pain was Blu Griffith. An altercation between the two in late October 2010 found Blu Griffith charged with domestic violence and coercion. He allegedly kicked and pushed Debbie to the ground while she was attempting to get her iPhone back from him. He allegedly pulled a chunk of her hair out and had caused bruising on her legs. And he allegedly took her phone away to prevent her from calling authorities.  All of this according to an arrest report.  Blu Griffith was supposed to appear in court

today on those charges, but did not. It is important to note that the authorities have not called Blu Griffith a suspect and have so far described him as cooperative in the investigation of Debbie’s disappearance.  Until evidence is released or authorities decide to announce new information, one can only speculate any of the many possible theories surrounding Debbie’s disappearance. One thing I will speculate to is that I don’t believe Debbie was a depressed wilting flower, as her ex-boyfriend described. Obviously, I do not know her, but anyone who has read even a small portion of her MySpace account would get the impression that Debbie is a intelligent, strong, and resilient young woman. She doesn’t seem like the type that would let much of anything get her down, certainly not long enough to where she would feel the need to just leave without telling anyone.
