Crazy Meth-Head Mexican Whore Found Dead in Desert Near Las Vegas

Posted on | October 17, 2019 | Comments Off on Crazy Meth-Head Mexican Whore Found Dead in Desert Near Las Vegas

Esmerelda Gonzalez worked in ‘the adult entertainment industry,’ sources say.

Look, I realize “whore” is a strong word, but when a “model” (ahem) is described as working in “the adult entertainment industry,” it seems safe to assume she was engaged in, uh, commercial transactions. Also, she had breast implants and an Instagram account full of photos that were rather obviously intended to advertise her, uh, services. And did I mention that her family said she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and that police say she was doing methamphetamine before she was killed? Furthermore, Esmeralda Gonzalez was a native of Michoacán, so you combine these facts and calling her a “Crazy Meth-Head Mexican Whore” is simply objective journalism. Like Joe Friday: “Just the facts, ma’am.”

The body of a Las Vegas woman who was reported missing in May is believed to have been found in the Nevada desert, completely encased in concrete inside a “wooden structure,” court documents reveal.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were dispatched to a home on May 31 just before 7 p.m. concerning a missing person report. The victim, later identified by Las Vegas Review-Journal as Esmeralda Gonzalez, 24, had not been heard from for several days.
Several months later, on Oct. 8., homicide detectives recovered a body in the desert area just north of Las Vegas. Police said the body was found completely encased in “concrete and in a wooden structure.” Although police have not yet formally identified the victim, court documents obtained by the Review-Journal name Gonzalez.
Days later, police arrested Christopher Prestipino, 45, and Lisa Mort, 31, in connection with the discovery of the body.
According to a press release from the LVMPD, investigators believe that the victim had at some point been inside Prestipino’s residence. She was being held against her will and was subsequently “murdered.” . . .
The pair was arrested on Oct. 11 and Prestipino was charged with open murder, kidnapping in the first degree resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy murder.
Mort was also booked into the Clark County Detention Center on the charge of harbor/conceal/aid a felony offender.
According to court documents obtained by the Review-Journal, Prestipino strangled the victim and then injected her body with pool cleaner after leaving her “tied up to a bedpost for an extended period of time.” After she was killed, he reportedly transported the body to the desert using a rented U-Haul.
The victim, who was said to work in the adult entertainment industry and had a large following on social media, lived about one-tenth of a mile from the suspect, according to the report.
Court documents also stated that the victim suffered from mental illness and was captured on surveillance the day she disappeared walking around her neighborhood in high heels and lingerie asking for rides.

Additional background:

Gonzalez had more than 300,000 followers on an Instagram page laden with partially clad glamour shots; her Facebook and Instagram pages say she was also a college student. . . .
According to his LinkedIn page, Chris Prestipino worked as a “stagehand-Audio Visual Technician” at Bally’s/Paris Hotel in Las Vegas from 1999 to present. . . .
Clark County online court records show that Prestipino is a felon. He has multiple drug cases on his criminal history, including one for manufacturing meth. Mort is accused of harboring, concealing or aiding a felon. Prestipino is accused of murder and kidnapping.
Mort also has a drug history. She’s Prestipino’s girlfriend.
His felony case for drug dealing dates to 2001 and resulted in a suspended sentence and probation.

So, you’re a drug-dealing felon and one day you spot a crazy Mexican whore wandering around the streets in nothing but lingerie and heels, and you do what any drug-dealing felon in Las Vegas would do. How many dead whores are buried in the desert outside Vegas whose bodies have never been found? More than a few, I’d guess. Decades worth.

Is there any real cultural or political significance to this story? No, but John Hoge keeps accusing me of failing to maintain Rule Five standards, and this seemed like a convenient opportunity to even the score.
