According to Las Vegas police, Jason "Blu" Griffith, 32, was booked Friday night and being held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center in the case in Flores-Narvaez's disappearance.

At a Saturday news conference, police said a tip led them to the dancer's body in downtown Las Vegas, but declined to divulge any details.

Police also declined to comment on the details of Griffith's arrest.

Police Lt. Lew Roberts called the murder investigation, "fairly complicated" and said additional suspects could be arrested.

Flores-Narvaez, 31, was reported missing Dec. 14 by her roommate who became worried when she failed to show up for a performance of "Fantasy," the nightly burlesque show at the Luxor hotel and casino where she worked. Police say she was last seen two days prior with Griffith.

Flores-Narvaez and Griffith had been dating for about a year when police responded to a domestic violence call involving the couple on Oct. 22. According to police, the dancer told authorities that Griffith beat her while she was pregnant with his child. Griffith told police that they had been in an argument, but denied hitting Flores-Narvaez.

Flores-Narvaez moved from Maryland to Las Vegas to become a dancer. She served as an ambassador for the Washington Redskins in 2007, a non-performing position that sent her into the community.

The cause of her death will be released after an autopsy Monday.
