The older sister of a slain Las Vegas dancer is bringing the 31-year-old woman's remains back to her native Puerto Rico.
The murder victim's older sister, Celeste Flores Narvaez, said Monday that the family will have a private funeral in Puerto Rico's capital. She says that her sister Debora Flores Narvaez was "extremely proud to be Puerto Rican" and would have wanted to return.
Narvaez's body was recently found dismembered and encased in cement at a Las Vegas home.
Police accuse a former boyfriend of strangling the Puerto Rico-born dancer during an argument in his home. Later, he allegedly sawed off her legs and tried to hide the body in plastic tubs filled with concrete.
