Since August 1994, the remains of five women have been found within a four-mile radius in the far eastern portion of the Las Vegas Valley, including the Lake Mead National Recreational Area.
Flowers was accused and indicted in Ms. Rios murder, offered the plea bargain of guilty but mentally ill on two counts of murder with possibility of parole after 20 plus 5 years. He appealed and due to new laws in AZ he is eligible for parole in 16 years.
