In a heart-stopping turn of events, Las Vegas police uncovered a gruesome crime during a simple welfare check. Officers responding to concerns about a missing woman made a grim discovery—a body folded inside a freezer. The investigation led to the indictment of her ex-roommate, Daniel Roush, on charges of murder and other offenses.
Welfare Check Leads to Chilling Discovery
On November 6th, officers arrived at Monique Gilbert’s residence in the East Valley after she hadn’t been heard from in nearly two weeks. A locksmith assisted police in gaining entry when nobody answered the door. Inside, they encountered Daniel Roush, who pretends to be a woman named “Jazzlyn” and claimed to be house-sitting for Monique.
Officers quickly grew suspicious after Roush delayed letting them into the home for nearly 15 minutes. His defensive demeanor raised red flags as officers pressed to search the property.
Officers Find a Body in the Freezer
The search ended in a horrifying moment—Monique’s body was discovered in the freezer. Her remains were folded and packed inside the appliance, confirming investigators’ worst fears. Photos from the scene revealed drug paraphernalia, including white powder, scattered throughout the house.
Prosecutors later alleged that Roush force-fed Monique a lethal dose of fentanyl—200 times more than what’s needed to kill. These findings led to a Clark County grand jury charging Roush with murder and additional crimes related to her death.
Evidence Raises Questions About Suspect’s Intentions
Court records uncovered a tense relationship between Monique and Roush in the weeks leading up to her death. Text messages presented during the investigation showed Monique had asked Roush to leave her home. She stated that his belongings were left on the porch and expressed her desire for him to stay away. Investigators believe Monique likely died shortly after October 22nd, the date she reportedly forced Roush out of the house.
This troubling story has shaken the local community. What began as a welfare check escalated into a murder investigation, and questions remain about Roush’s motivations. Court proceedings are ongoing, as loved ones of Monique Gilbert hope for justice in the wake of this tragedy.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
