LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Police in two cities said they didn't see a connection between the discovery of three burned bodies in a week in desert areas of southern Nevada.
"Everybody is saying, 'That's weird.' We agree," Lt. Tom Monahan said Monday of two cases reported Dec. 13 and Dec. 14 in the sprawling area covered by Las Vegas police. "At this point in our investigation, we have found no linkage whatsoever."
Police in neighboring North Las Vegas reported Monday that the burned body of a man had been found Sunday afternoon in a remote area north of the Las Vegas Beltway.
"We suspect foul play, and we're treating this as a homicide, but we don't know the cause of death," North Las Vegas police spokesman Tim Bedwell said.
One of the three dead people has been identified. Ivonne M. Chacon, 52, was strangled, the Clark County coroner's office said Tuesday. Her body was found Dec. 13 in the back of a burned Toyota near a remote gypsum plant on Sunrise Mountain, about five miles east of the city.
A day later, police found a badly charred body in the trunk of a burned 2003 Jaguar sedan about a half mile off state Route 160 southwest of the city.
