| 3-year-old stabbing victim's funeral today |
| A funeral will be held today for 3-year-old Kristyanna Cowan, who was fatally stabbed at a mobile home in Mesquite last week while her mother was at a casino with her boyfriend. Services will begin at 11 a.m. at the Woodlawn Cemetery, 1500 Las Vegas Blvd., North, and are open to the public. Cowan's 10-year-old sister, Brittney Bergeron, was left paralyzed from the waist down after the Wednesday morning attack and remains hospitalized at University Medical Center. Beau Maestas, 19, and his 16-year-old sister, Monique, were arrested in Utah on murder charges and are challenging their extradition back to Nevada. Police said Beau Maestas has confessed to the killings, and said that he was angry because the boyfriend of the girls' mother had ripped him off in a drug deal. Donations for Brittney Bergeron can be sent to: T.I.P. (Trauma Intervention Program), 1823 Covey Lane, Las Vegas, NV, 89115. T.I.P. is a nonprofit volunteer program that offers grief counselors to trauma victims. Those interested can call ***-**** for more information. |
