LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A woman found dead in a freezer reportedly called police about her ex-roommate weeks before that person allegedly killed her, according to a 911 call the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.
As 8 News Now first reported, Daniel Roush, 37, faces a second-degree murder charge for the death of Monique Gilbertson, 68. Gilbertson’s cause and manner of death remained pending as of Friday.
Gilbertson met Roush, who identifies as Jazzlynn Roush, at a store and invited him to live with her, police said. Roush would help Gilbertson around the house but she later became “upset about how filthy Roush was,” documents said. Around Oct. 22, Gilbertson kicked Roush out of the house and changed the locks.
On Nov. 6, police responded to Gilbertson’s home, which is located in a 55-and-older community near Nellis Boulevard and Vegas Valley Drive, after an employee on the property called for a welfare check.
“She called you guys about two weeks ago,” the person told a dispatcher in the 911 call. “She had a roommate issue, and she called because in her roommate’s stuff, she had found a gun, but I don’t know how far she got with that phone call. She said that she couldn’t get a hold of you guys she was going to like throw it in the trash.”
