Woman whose body found in freezer let suspects live with her, neighbors say

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - Police arrested 37-year-old Daniel Roush in connection with the killing of a woman whose body was found in a freezer in her mobile home.

On Thursday, neighbors told FOX5 the woman was in her 60s and had lived in the mobile home park community near 5500 Tres Piedras Road for more than 20 years.

FOX5 knows the identity of the woman but is choosing to not release it until the coroner identifies her.

However, FOX5 learned the leasing office in the mobile home park had called the police Wednesday morning to do a welfare check because the woman was seen every day walking her dog and neighbors had not seen her for weeks.

Neighbors also say the woman was doing work on her house and picked up two people to help with the labor.

The two would eventually start to live in the mobile home but when the woman's medication was stolen, neighbors say that is when they were kicked out.

Someone who would see the woman regularly tells FOX5, a few weeks ago the woman had expressed concern that the two people would come back and hurt her.

On Wednesday morning, police went to the mobile home to do a welfare check and found two people inside who they said were 'acting suspicious' and did not know where the missing woman was.

Police would later find the woman's body in a locked freezer.

By Thursday police would have arrested Roush.

FOX5 spoke to Christine Marshall who knew the woman for 20 years and told us the woman was too kind and too open with strangers.

'She was just very open and too much information, I told the cop last night any con artist who was out there hit a real payday," Marshall said. "She probably would have given him anything she wanted, she did not deserve that."

Metro police were also at the mobile home park Thursday and are trying to figure out exactly when the woman was last seen alive.
