A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts. Both alleged victims claimed that the Las Vegas man used a firearm to threaten them. Non-virtual sex work (i.e., physical prostitution) is a dangerous line of work, especially in large cities like Las Vegas -- where rates of non-virtual sex work have increased by 50% in recent years. Prostitutes -- especially street walkers -- are often victims of violent crime and robberies. It's fortunat...
Lisa Irwin was only 10 months old when she vanished from her family’s home in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother had been the last person to see her on the evening of October 3, 2011, but by four a.m., the following morning the infant was missing. It’s been nearly 13 years since anyone has seen the missing girl, and with each year that passes the updates in her story become fewer and farther between. Meanwhile, the facts that do remain in the disappearance of Baby Lisa strongly implicate her parents, but police have never made any arrests over the course of this lengthy and fruitless search.
From the very beginning of the search for Lisa Irwin, police have described her parents as being non-cooperative. To make matters worse for the missing baby’s parents, her mother Deborah Bradley, publicly admitted that she’d failed a polygraph test administered by authorities. On top of failing a polygraph test, the parents of the missing child were brought under further scrutiny when cadaver dogs ‘hit’ on the odor of ‘deceased human remains’ on their property.
Even with all of the circumstantial evidence against the parents of Lisa Irwin, authorities in Kansas City have never arrested them or declared them the primary suspects in their investigation. This could be for a number of reasons, such as witness sightings of a man seen carrying a baby in the area of the Irwin home around the time that Baby Lisa would have disappeared. It should be noted that these sightings have never been fully confirmed, and investigators have never been able to track down this phantom person. On the other hand, plenty of controversy surrounded Deborah Bradley and the people that associated with her around the time of Lisa’s disappearance, including friends that lived in the neighborhood. With so many different possibilities surrounding the disappearance of Lisa Irwin, it’s easy to see why police haven’t been able to get to the bottom of things.
Sadly, the last update in the search for Lisa Irwin wasn’t really an update at all. Instead, it was merely an article at the end of 2023 serving to remind the public that this baby remains missing. In fact, if Lisa Irwin were alive today — and she probably isn’t — she’d be 13-years-old.
Will we ever have answers behind the disappearance of Lisa Irwin?
