Metro Police are asking for the public's help in finding a dancer in Luxor's "Fantasy" show who went missing Sunday night.
Police said Deborah Flores-Narvaez, 31, left the area of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue about 7 p.m. Sunday and hasn't been seen since. She drives a four-door, maroon 1997 Chevrolet Prism that has Maryland license plate 73547CD.
Flores-Narvaez is described as about 5-feet-5-inches tall and 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
According to Deborah Flores-Narvaez's MySpace page, she is a ballroom, Latin and hip-hop dancer who previously worked for the Washington Redskin Cheerleader Ambassadors in 2007 and 2008. She is originally from Puerto Rico and says on her MySpace biography that she earned a law degree and a bachelor's degree in international business.
"I am well-cultured, quick witted, intelligent, considerate and humorous," her biography says. "I'm blessed with a substantial amount of common sense."
Her sister, Celeste Flores-Narvaez, said she is taking the "quickest flight out" of Atlanta on Friday morning to help with search efforts in Las Vegas.
Celeste Flores-Narvaez said her sister's roommate contacted their family in Atlanta when she failed to show up for a late-night dance practice Sunday and a show on Monday.
"She knew something was wrong when my sister didn't show up for practice," Celeste Flores-Narvaez said. "My sister is always at practice."
Deborah Flores-Narvaez, who goes by "Debbie," apparently stopped by her ex-boyfriend's residence Sunday evening, but he told their family she left before the season finale of the television show "Dexter," her sister said.
Celeste Flores-Narvaez said her sister's cell phone is shut off and there hasn't been any activity on her Facebook or MySpace accounts.
Celeste Flores-Narvaez described her sister, who has lived in Las Vegas for about two years, as someone who "wears her heart around her sleeve."
"She's very creative. She loves dancing," she said. "She loves people and being around her friends."
Deborah Flores-Narvaez typically wears bright colors and has a faded imprint of an old tattoo in the shape of a joker on her ankle, Celeste Flores-Narvaez said. She has lived at an apartment complex on Duke Ellington Way, which is near Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.
Anita Mann, owner of Anita Mann Productions, which is the producer of "Fantasy," released the following statement Thursday on the search for Deborah Flores-Narvaez: "Our hearts and prayers are with Debbie's family through this difficult time. We strongly urge anyone who may have information about her whereabouts to contact Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, immediately."
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Metro's missing persons detail at (702) 828-2907.

wow i met this girl about a year ago at check city when i used to wrk there, she was such a sweet nice girl i wish her family well
Boyfriend?
BF, exbf, husband... people rarely go missing randomly. I'm sure this will be solved quickly.
Random suave stranger, abducted.
I am friends with Debbie and I'm pretty sure she drives a Geo Prism.I am distraught over this. She is one of the nicest, smartest, and most genuine person I have ever met and I am in constant prayer for her and her family, we all just want her back safe.
Also, that last comment is disgusting, as a citizen of the United States you are entitled to the benefits of each state regardless of residence. Don't forget your economy is tourist dependent and I guarantee more tax revenue is generated from out of state individuals than residents.
Yeah, bghs1986, because kidnapping and/or death is an appropriate penalty to pay for not registering your car, right?
Some people's lack of compassion for other humans just boggles my mind. I hope Deborah is found safe soon.
Is she bi-polar? I ask because I have known more than one bi-polar person that has picked up and gone on "vacation" without telling anyone. We found a friends mother two weeks later in Hawaii and the only reason we knew she was there was because she was stung badly by a jellyfish. It took that long for her to recover enough to tell them her name.
I think I was pretty clear that we WOULD spend our resources investigating her disappearance. Still doesn't excuse her refusal to obey the law. Just because something bad may have happened to her, doesn't make he actions suddenly all good.

Perhaps her car was not registered in NV because maybe she was not the sole owner and the other owner still lived in Maryland. (My car was registersed in Illinois because we had an address and the ex lived in Illinois part of the time). So don't make such disgusting comments when you don't know the whole story. And just because her car was not registered in NV doesn't mean she was fair game for some whackjob to kidnap her. You're pathetic.
Peach on Earth, Goodwill Toward Man - seems like some people forget what season this is. But then most likely, they live with no peace or goodwill the rest of the year so why should Christmas time be any different.
There is no whackjob kidnapping people. BOYFRIEND did it. Wait and see......just playing the odds.
I second the x-boyfriend as a person of interest.
She has lived in Las Vegas for 2 years and has a Maryland license plate? Let's hope she's safe. If she is found safe, then make her get a LV license plate like the rest of us have to!! I know this sound insensitive to this young lady's plight, but I am sick and tired of seeing all the OOS license plates in this town when our state government and schools are so short of money.
Geeze people....forget about the license plates. This is a human life we are talking about!
Oh man, can this site not take a joke anymore? What was wrong with my harmless comment?
You people really have your priorities screwed up. This is a human being we are talking about and all your stupid comments about OOS license plates and quick flights defying physics are just sad and pathetic. She is a wonderful person who I know well and I am saddened by the fact that you choose to focus on asinine details and not the big picture. The most important thing is her safety and being found. If you are going to comment please only comment with helpful information and positive thoughts and prayers.
Ex-boyfriend?
I certainly hope she didn't just up and leave without telling anyone. Sounds fishy. I'm assuming they tracked ATM or credit card usage. 4 days missing isn't good without any clue turning up.
My assumption is that this will be solved pretty quickly.
Let's just hope they find her alive and well. I think the odds are against a happy ending but people do beat the odds around here from time to time. I wish her family all the best and I'm hoping that this is one of those times where we beat the odds and that the dice come up the hard way.
Hate to say it, but they need a long hard look at the last person who saw her, and in this case its sounds like the ex-boyfriend.
Hope they find her (alive)..
Missing people (female or male) need to be taken more seriously by law enforcement. The majority of people don't just up and leave (some do, but most don't).
I find it very unsettling the amount of adults who go "missing" in this country.
never stop by the ex boyfriends house alone, especially if he waches Dexter...

@helpdebbie - that's right - people are talking about her out of state plates. Just WHO is supposed to pay for these roads if not the people who live and work here? She is no exception now just because she turns up missing.
when i read this story, i quickly recalled the young hooters girls that went missing, only to find out her tragic death and most recently some young cali girl found dead south of LV in the desert.....Now this girl, sad, just sad....Of course i'm also hearing of the all too common phrase "stopped by ex-boyfriend" apt...
'Celeste Flores-Narvaez described her sister, who has lived in Las Vegas for about two years, as someone who "wears her heart around her sleeve."
Cool, two years later she still has her Maryland plates on her car. Must be cheating Nevada out of their taxes. Maybe Harry Reid Kidnapped her.
God help this girl and her family, I hope she is found soon..(safe and sound) .. That would be the best Christmas gift ever.....
