Las Vegas Man Indicted In Slain Dancer's Death

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The 32-year-old ex-boyfriend of a Las Vegas Strip dancer found dismembered and encased in concrete has been indicted on a murder charge.

The Las Vegas Sun reported a Clark County grand jury handed up an indictment Wednesday against Jason Griffith in the slaying of Debora Flores Narvaez, 31.

She disappeared in mid-December.

Police say Griffith strangled Flores Narvaez during an argument Dec. 12 and tried to hide the body before it was found last month at a downtown Las Vegas apartment.

Griffith was arrested Jan. 8 at the Mirage hotel-casino, where he was a performer in Cirque du Soleil's "Love" show. He's being held at the Clark County jail pending arraignment Feb. 16.

Flores Narvaez danced in the "Fantasy" show at the Luxor.
