Felon arrested in Henderson death
A convicted felon was charged Monday with the suffocation death of a 33-year-old mentally handicapped woman in her Henderson house last week.
Henderson Police arrested Cornelius Eugene Rogers, 35, last week on possession of stolen property charges after reportedly finding items stolen from Julie Hold's home inside his apartment. Rogers was held in the Henderson jail and, on Monday, police charged him with murder, robbery, burglary, possession of a stolen firearm and other charges.
Holt was found dead on the floor of a bathroom inside her house on Stetson Drive, near College Drive and U.S. 95, March 13 by her father when he returned home.
Rogers was released from Southern Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs in November after serving about seven years of a 22-year sentence for burglary, robbery and battery convictions.
Residents can testify in LV
Southern Nevada residents who want to testify on a resolution to locate an alternate train route to a proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain can attend, via teleconference, the Senate Transportation Committee hearing.
The committee, chaired by Sen. Bill O'Donnell, R-Las Vegas, will open its hearing at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Carson City with a televised link to the Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave.
Senate Joint Resolution 4 urges the U.S. Department of Energy to build an alternate railroad route to Yucca Mountain, 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, in the event the government deems the site safe to bury 77,000 tons of highly radioactive waste.
