Author Spotlight

Carolina Sarassa

Author, news anchor and producer, Carolina Sarassa

“Every nine seconds a woman is beaten in the United States. As women, we have the power to walk away, to call the police and to say to ourselves NO MORE. It’s in our hands to stop this.”

This month’s featured author, Carolina Sarassa, has a cautionary message for women about the horrors of domestic violence. Carolina is producer and an Emmy award winning news anchor for Univision’s affiliate station in Las Vegas and now an author too with the release of Dancing on Her Grave: The Murder of a Las Vegas Showgirl.

We asked Carolina for some insight into why she writes. She replied with a cautionary tale of love and murder that emphasizes the dire issue of violence against women in our society:

“I’m a 31-year old Latina and a Journalist. We’ve all heard about it on the news, from a friend, or someone we know, who unfortunately have been victims of what’s called ‘domestic violence’. Just like many other things in life we think, “well, that won’t happen to me,” and that’s exactly what I always thought until I met Debbie Flores-Narvaez.

In reality, I didn’t get to meet Debbie in person; I met her after she was brutally murdered. Yes, I’m a crime reporter. It was December 2010 and someone sent me a message on Facebook asking me for help about a missing Las Vegas Dancer; her name was Debbie. She was a beautiful Puerto Rican attorney who at age 30, decided to leave her job in Baltimore to pursue a career as a dancer in Sin City. As odd as it may sound, and against her family’s wishes, she did it.Carolina Sarassa: Dancing on Her Grave

Not only did she find fame and a boyfriend, she found death in the hands of the love of her life. She was beautiful, smart and well educated. He was talented, charming and a ladies’ man. Debbie couldn’t comprehend how that man whom she loved so much could have eyes for other women. He abused her verbally, physically, emotionally, and ended her life. To cover his crime, Jason – her boyfriend- dismembered the beautiful dancer’s body with a handsaw and hid her in plastic containers filled with cement.

Her friends had warned her, and she knew that man was never going to change. Nevertheless, she continued to pursue that toxic relationship. She could have said NO, but love had her blindfolded. The truth is very cruel: Debbie is dead and her boyfriend in prison for the rest of his life.”

Read the rest of Carolina’s essay here, and look for her new WildBlue Press release this Summer: FEAR WAS NOT AN OPTION, the true story of two LA gangsters who got a second chance at life.
