An almost
three-year-old missing person case has been reclassified as a case of murder
after police learned that the body found near a rural desert road outside Las
Vegas on October 2011 turned out to be that of the person reported as missing
since December 2009.
On December
8, 2009, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department started its investigation
on the disappearance of 56-year-old Dragon Rnic, Sr. who was reportedly last
seen on December 1 driving a white Honda Odyssey mini-van. The vehicle was
found abandoned the next day on the side of the State Route 160 near mile
marker 20. However, there was no trace of Rnic. The case went cold after a
while.
In October,
a body was found in a desert area next to where the van had been found two
years before. The Clark County coroner's office has yet to officially release
the identity and cause and manner of death although the police already believe
the body to be Rnic. In fact, they have already named 54-year-old Blazenko
Jurasek as a suspect in Rnic's disappearance and probable murder.
A grand jury
has indicted Jurasek for murder and the police said this Friday that they have already issued
a warrant for his arrest.
