The charred remains of a woman found near the Hoover Dam last month have been identified as the owner of a Las Vegas escort service. She was murdered, authorities say, over a $9,000 debt.
The remains are those of 39-year-old Yung Park, according to court documents first obtained by the Associated Press.
Park’s body was found about a mile from the dam on December 23. It was found about the same time a Las Vegas burlesque dancer, 31-year-old Deborah Flores-Narvaez, was reported missing.
Flores-Navarez was last seen on December 13, and there was speculation that hers was the burned body found near the dam. That speculation was put to rest today — she’s yet to be found.
Last week, police in Sin City arrested two of Park’s employees at her escort service in connection with her murder.
Min Soon Chang, 30, and 19-year-old Keon Kyun Park were arrested
Thursday for the murder. Keon Kyun Park and the victim were not related,
authorities say.
