The 27-yr.-old woman was inside the nightclub counting her tips when she was asked to step outside to talk to two people that she presumably knew. Once she was outside, Rianne Celine Theriault-Odom, 27, and Nathaniel Marquis Petrillo, 22, met her and suddenly doused her with a flammable liquid, then set her ablaze.
The victim ran back inside where others put her fire out and also saw the culprits leaving. She suffered 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns over 40% of her body and is in grave condition at a burn center.
Rianne Theriault-Odom has been identified as a woman who had applied for a lap-dancing job at Babes & Beer several weeks ago and was rejected.
Police are looking for this out-of-work dancer.
“The suspects had been identified by witnesses’ accounts, by people that were at the tavern,” said Deputy Chief Michael Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department. “When we find them, they will be arrested for this terrible crime. Given the condition of this victim, they may be responsible for ultimately her murder.”
Babes & Beer is described as a sports bar ”that offers full-contact lap dances along with a wide selection of wine and beer.”
The Los Angeles Times has the STORY.
The Los Angeles Daily News has identified the victim as Roberta Abdue Dos Santos Busby, a Brazilian national who recently took up “exotic dancing” after losing her job as a bill collector.
The Babes N’ Beer Web site advertises a “seductive night life” of bikini-clad women with a “free lapdance with every bottle of wine or alcohol” on Friday and Saturday nights. It also billed a “New Adult Store” of erotic movies, toys and more.
