A body found in rural Arizona is not that of Deborah Flores-Narvaez, a Las Vegas dancer and former NFL cheerleader who disappeared two weeks ago, a source in the Clark County coroner's office told NewsCore on Friday.

"We've ruled that out," said the person, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media. "I can't say any more, but we did determine it was not the dancer."

Hikers stumbled upon a woman's body on Kingman Watch Road on the Arizona side of Lake Mead around 11:30 a.m. local time Thursday, National Park Service spokesman Kevin Turner said.

The reportedly pregnant Flores-Narvaez, 31, was last seen at about 7 p.m. Dec. 12 before she planned to meet ex-boyfriend Jason "Blu" Griffith.

Her sister said Thursday that Griffith has been uncooperative in providing detailed information.

"I am the only one out here on behalf of my family, and he doesn't want to sit down and talk to me," Celeste Flores-Narvaez said. "There are many inconsistencies."

Investigators reportedly found Flores-Narvaez’s car — a maroon 1997 four-door Chevrolet Prism — parked in the city's northeast section last week.

In 2007 and 2008 she was part of the Washington Redskins cheerleaders' "ambassador" program, described by the team as an extension of the squad that performs off the field.
