Debbie Flores Narvaez was brilliant, determined, and on the verge of a dream come true — her debut in one of Las Vegas's most coveted burlesque shows, Fantasy at the Luxor. But the night before she was set to take the stage, Debbie vanished without a trace.As the days pass, a tangled web of toxic relationships, jealous exes, and disturbing secrets emerges. Investigators dig into her past, but it's a tip from an ex-girlfriend — and a chilling confession from a roommate — that finally blows the case open.In this episode, we trace the rise and horrifying fall of a dancer who gave everything to the spotlight… and lost her life in the shadows.Sources:https://www.oxygen.com/sin-city-murders/crime-news/jason-blu-griffith-dismembered-dancer-debbie-flores-narvaezhttps://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000463602_01/750372ef-b15f-3de1-9312-56b9a1947172https://lasvegassun.com/news/2014/feb/09/final-hours-luxor-dancer/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/case-slain-las-vegas-dancer-debora-narvaez-goes-jury-n111581https://abcnews.go.com/US/arrest-made-debbie-flores-narvaez-case/story?id=12572432https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/two-employees-indicted-in-slaying-of-illegal-brothel-owner/Send us a textEmail Residue: residuepodcast@gmail.comFind RESIDUE online:Instagram: @residuepodcastTik Tok: @residuepodcast Facebook: Residue:A True Crime Podcast Credits: RESIDUE is Hosted/Produced/Researched/Edited by Chrissy Champagne THEME SONG: "Dance Of Death" by Purple Planet Music collection written and performed by Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey.

Hatshepsut is one of the most famous pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, and not only because she was a woman. Her reign of more than twenty years was prosperous and saw an intense building activity that can still be admired, especially in Thebes (present-day Luxor). In tonight's story, I tell you about the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt and the Eighteenth Dynasty. We will see how a princess and regent like Hatshepsut could occupy a throne that should have gone to her nephew Thutmose III, and what she achieved during her reign. I will also tell you of a few other queens of Egypt that preceded her and did occupy the throne of the pharaohs, like Sobekneferu, or could have reigned in uncertain circumstances, like Setibohr or Merit-Neith.
