For around two weeks, Jazlynn Roush — a Las Vegas woman accused of killing her 68-year-old roommate with fentanyl-laced cocaine — allegedly went about her day with the slain sexagenarian’s body stowed away in her freezer , according to police.
It wasn’t until an office manager at the property where victim Monique Gilbertson’s mobile home was located began noticing things, such as Gilbertson’s car being parked differently and her dogs barking louder than normal, that Roush’s chilling secret was exposed, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reports .
On Nov. 6, authorities got a call from the manager to perform a welfare check on Gilbertson after attempts to contact her were unsuccessful. She had been living with Roush — who was identified by cops as Daniel Roush, despite her legally changing her name in Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District in 2022 — after meeting her at a Home Depot and hiring her to do handy work, according to her arrest report, which was first obtained by the CBS affiliate KLAS and Las Vegas Review-Journal .
