Authorities today identified the body of a teenage runaway found in a shallow grave in the Las Vegas desert, while the male and female suspects in her kidnapping and murder were expected in court to face charges in her death.
Anne Osburn, 21, and Gabriel Yates, 31, have been charged with first-degree kidnap and murder in the death of Elizabeth Yegge, a 17-year-old runaway.
Yegge would have turned 18 this Friday, according to the coroner's office.
Gabriel Yates, 31, and Anne Osburn, 21, were arrested Sunday and charged with first-degree kidnapping and murder in the teen's death. Both are being held without bail and were scheduled to appear in court this morning. It was unclear whether either suspect had hired an attorney.
Authorities originally did not identify the victim, citing next of kin notification. Officials did not say when her body was found.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a tip July 28 that a runaway who had been living at a Las Vegas apartment complex had not been seen for several days and may have been the victim of a homicide.
Nichole was a prostitute who was pimped out by Yates, going as far as posting ads on CraigsList for the teen.
According to the arrest report, police surveillance heard Osburn telling Yates to strike Nichole because she told the couple she was leaving them and would inform the police of their pimping out an underage girl. Reportedly, Yates hit her and knocked her to the floor. Osburn then chocked Nichole to death. The couple then broke out Nichole's teeth, cut off her identifying tattoos, put her body into a hockey bag, and subsequently buried her in the desert. The report then states that Yates and Osburn disposed of Nichole's teeth and tattoos by throwing them into a lake.
Police believe Nichole's murder occurred inside an apartment on Koval and Harmon. Neighbor Gary Howard says he finds this alleged murder difficult to believe and paints a different picture of the couple. Gary claims Yates and Osburn were friendly and that Yates had even helped him when he was having car trouble.
Sadly, Nichole Yegee would have celebrated her eighteenth birthday this Friday. As for the couple, detectives say Yates and Osburn had just welcomed their own baby girl on July 6.

UCat, you fuckin' bitch. I read the title of thread, had my response all planned...and you stole it. Fuck. But seriously...is there some reason we're suddenly getting this bit of cultural education, over and over again?

I don't know what is up with that. It makes you wonder though.
Dumbasses. Could have spent a little time for "pimping", but will likely spend life for murder, now.
We're probably hearing a lot about juggalos because they're a clearly at-risk demographic. I'd say more "at-risk" than any other, except for maybe hard core "gangsta" rap.

I dunno, A-girl, i worry about the emo kids a good bit. I think Younger Spawn is gonna miss a curb due to the Emo Hair in his right eye one day. :D
My 15 year old sister is a total emo kid. And she is determined to move out at 17 and travel the world on magical money that appears in her bank account. Given her naivete about the cost of an iPod, i can't imagine she'll know how to avoid a predator like Gabriel Yates. So i talk to her, and she ignores me. It's how she rolls, because she needs drainpipes, pink hair, and the internal chaos that strips the soul and makes life a black hole of oblivion and endless pain more than she wants a clue. Bless her heart.

You have emo spawn AND an emo sib? My GOD. You are a brave soul, Imp.
I worry less about emos than ninjas (the other nickname of ICP fans, for those not "in the know") because, from my experience, emos tend to be more tended to by parents and more popular (in comparison). This causes them to be a smidge less reckless.
But the hair over the eye is definitely a risk that juggalos don't contend with. That being said, I'd rather a curb get my kid than a pimp. :p

Gabriel Wayne Yates, 31, is charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. His arrest report is grisly.
"Yates was heard to say he worked in a slaughterhouse as a teenager skinning animals, blood did not bother him and he knew how to get rid of a body," police said in the report.
For Yates, the murder arrest follows a memorable murder acquittal here in 1996, when he was cleared of beating and drowning 13-year-old Nicholas Bishop in a gang initiation ritual.
Bishop's body was found Sept. 13, 1993, floating in the Gulf of Mexico behind the old Beachmark Inn on Okaloosa Island.
"These guys were all wannabe gangbangers," said Assistant State Attorney Ace Grinstead, who prosecuted Yates, then 18.
Grinstead said much of the testimony was unreliable, as a man already convicted in the murder admitted that he'd lie under oath to protect a fellow gang member.
Yates, at that time also known as "Ghost," had a small amount of Bishop's DNA under his fingernails - but he claimed it was from a brief shoving incident in an elevator, Grinstead said. He maintained that he wasn't involved in gangs.
"I don't hang around with those kind of people," Yates told the jury. "I wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats."
When the jury acquitted him, he cried out, "Thank you!"
