Mariela Moreno’s body was discovered near Sunset Park February 29, 2008. She had been missing since the early morning hours of January 1, 2008.

The 20-year-old vanished without a trace. Her boyfriend, Isidro Munoz, was the last person to see her alive. He told police he had dropped her off at her home after a New Year’s Eve party but pulled his car away before she walked into the house.

In a February interview, Henderson police raised their suspicions. “From the moment detectives started working this missing person’s case, we felt there were some suspicious circumstances,” said Henderson Police Information Officer Todd Rasmussen.

For the past week, the coroner’s office has been working to positivity confirm her identity.

The Clark County Coroner says Moreno died of blunt force trauma to the head. Police are still investigating the case.

A valley woman has died after being shot by a Henderson Police Officer.

Police say he threatened officers and himself. Then he got his wife on the phone and she showed up in her ice cream truck, with her two children.

Police said she was irate and came out of the ice cream truck with a knife. She then held the knife to the throat of her young son. Police were able to get the child away from her and he was not hurt.

Officers then tried to use their Tasers to subdue her but they didn’t work.

Police say they then shot the woman after she made aggressive actions towards them. She was taken to Sunrise Trauma where she later died from her injuries.

The children were taken to Child Haven and are okay, but the husband is in jail, charged with obstruction of justice and his traffic citations.
