Charred body ID’d as that of woman, 26

One of two charred bodies found in a torched car left at a remote desert location this month was identified as that of 26-year-old Kristin Cicali by the Clark County coroner's office Tuesday.

The coroner's office did not release the woman's city of residence or the specific cause and manner of her death.

Las Vegas police found her body Nov. 12 in the back seat of a torched Cadillac near state Route 160 and Hualapai Way.

Police initially said there was only one body in the car, but then found another body underneath the first.

The second body has not yet been identified.

Homicide Lt. Lew Roberts said last week that the victims were boyfriend and girlfriend who were both shot in the back of the head. He said police hadn't determined a motive for the slayings and had no suspects.

In a separate case, Henderson police asked Tuesday for the public's help in identifying a man whose charred body was found Friday off Las Vegas Boulevard at the southern end of the valley.

Police are investigating the death as a homicide.

Henderson police spokesman Keith Paul said its investigation is not related to the Las Vegas police investigation involving the two burned bodies.

Henderson police described the male victim as having a medium to dark complexion and a height between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches.

The man was wearing a white polo shirt with horizontal red and green stripes, Sean John pants, Polo boxer shorts and a Pro Club tank-top undershirt.

Four set of keys were found with the man, police said.

Anyone with information about the man is asked to call Henderson police at 267-4750 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
