An elderly woman named Monique Gilbertson was found dead inside a locked freezer in her Las Vegas home. The man accused of killing her was not a stranger. He was her former roommate, Daniel “Jazlynn” Roush, a 39-year-old man who identifies as a transgender woman.
What followed was not just a homicide investigation, but a horror story of entitlement, fixation, and a deliberate attempt to erase a woman and take her place. According to multiple reports, the victim met Daniel Roush at Home Depot and agreed to let him stay in her home in exchange for rent and handyman work. The arrangement deteriorated quickly. Court records and reporting describe Monique Gilbertson complaining about Roush’s drug use, filth, and sanitation issues. She had reason to be concerned.

She eventually kicked him out, changed the locks, and told him to leave. Records show she even attempted to have his belongings removed from her home. Prosecutors allege that instead of leaving, Daniel Roush force-fed Monique Gilbertson massive amounts of fentanyl, smothered her with a pillow, and killed her. After her death, the suspected killer did not call 911. He did not report an overdose. He folded her body into a freezer, locked it, and continued living in her home as if nothing had happened. Monique Gilbertson was found “folded up” in the freezer during a wellness check (video). “I put her in the icebox, because I didn’t know what to do,” Roush allegedly told police. “Until I could figure it out, I had her in the icebox,” according to reporting by Law&Crime.

Investigators believe Roush lived in the mobile home for roughly two weeks with Gilbertson’s body in the freezer. During that time, he drove her car, slept in her bed, intercepted her mail, and took over her home while her body remained hidden just a few feet away.
Daniel Roush’s wife, Gina Roush, was not an unwitting observer. Gina Roush was operating under the alias “Gina Lopez” and according to arrest reports and grand jury transcripts, Gina Roush was staying at Monique Gilbertson’s house on and off after the fatal overdose.

Gina Roush admitted knowledge of the body while living in the home and actively participated in concealing the crime. She knew that the owner of the home was stuffed in the freezer – she helped Daniel Roush move the dead body. She later told police that Roush provided Monique Gilbertson with the drugs, claimed the elderly woman overdosed, and then he smothered Monique Gilbertson with a pillow before placing her body in the freezer.
Gina Roush is currently incarcerated at the Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center after her probation was revoked in an unrelated child abuse case (Offense Code 2144). She has been previously charged with child endangerment, neglect, and abuse. Gina Roush was indicted on multiple charges, including residential burglary and multiple drug possession counts. Prosecutors allege she obstructed justice by helping conceal the murder. When police conducted a welfare check at Monique Gilbertson’s home, after she went silent for days, they encountered Daniel Roush. He answered the door, dressed in women’s clothing and claimed that he was “house sitting.” Officers later discovered methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl inside the home. Roush initially denied giving Monique Gilbertson the drugs, but then later admitted to purchasing the narcotics. He claimed panic. Prosecutors allege intent.

Clark County Deputy District Attorney James Puccinelli told the court that Daniel Roush deliberately committed the crime because he had plans to take over Gilbertson’s life and home. In one blunt statement, Puccinelli said Roush gave Gilbertson massive amounts of fentanyl “so he could go into her house and take over her life.”

This case is not just about taking a victim’s life. It is about taking over the victim’s life. Daniel Roush himself referred to his alter-ego, “Jazlynn,” as a separate person, telling police that Monique enjoyed Kahlua and pain pills, but “Jazlynn” didn’t party with her. Reports allege that after Gilbertson’s death, Daniel Roush attempted to step fully into her life and take over, using her home, her car, her belongings, and her routines while wearing her identity as a costume.
The details of this case align with warnings long raised by trans widows – the estranged wives of trans-identified men. Trans widow testimonies reveal a pattern: their husbands would obsessively observe, mimic, and ultimately attempt to replace their wives by transitioning. “Most relationships in these cases involve married heterosexual males, many of whom have fathered children,” says journalist Donovan Cleckley. They come out as transgender and start identifying as women after many years of crossdressing behind closed doors. “It is their wives who suffer,” Andrea Dworkin wrote in 2003.
Married men with transvestic disorder often feel sexually aroused at the idea of turning themselves into their wives and assuming the role of motherhood. Their autogynephilia fetish empowers them to take over the lives of their victims completely – usually a woman they’ve been living with. Some women embrace this fetish and have TikToks that celebrate the fact that their husbands want to become them. The Daniel “Jazlynn” Roush case shows how that obsession escalates to homicide.
Daniel “Jazlynn” Roush’s social media history is very alarming. It is evidence of a warped mindset – the very same mindset that the trans agenda funnels into community messaging, school programming, and family life.
Multiple posts celebrate “Trans Parent Day” as a substitute for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Substitute. Not “additional,” not “support,” not “celebrate parents who are trans.” It is framed as a REPLACEMENT for motherhood and fatherhood, as if some of the oldest roles in human society are just outdated labels in need of a woke update.
It is the same rhetorical move we see everywhere: take a social reality, call it “exclusionary” or “oppressive,” then insist it must be deconstructed for the comfort of mentally unwell adults and their paraphilic obsession with objectifying the bodies of women and girls. Erasing moms and dads has nothing to do with inclusivity and everything to do with destruction.
The posts glorify “affirmation” as a virtue, while quietly redefining what love is. One post praises parents “affirming their trans kids,” claiming these parents “advocate for trans rights.” It reads like applause for activism, not good parenting advice. It turns raising a child into a political job description, and it frames any hesitation as betrayal.

The next part reads: “Trans kids who have been made to feel that a parent’s love is conditional.” Daniel Roush’s social media activity must be formally documented. It sends the message that moms and dads who do not play along with their kids’ new special gender pronouns they learned at school are bad parents who do not love their kids. Emotional blackmail is used to shame parents into compliance.
One infographic attempts to reassure the reader that “big changes are always stressful for kids,” so adults should “answer all their questions,” as if the only responsible path is to normalize drastic identity upheaval inside the home. Another claims there is absolutely no evidence of influence or indoctrination…while simultaneously encouraging parents to model “diversity of gender identities and gender expressions” to their kids as something to be taught, celebrated, and repeated. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot insist there is no influence, then market the influence as the whole point.
The most disturbing aspect is Daniel Roush’s fixation on little girls. Roush posted: “Everyone Has A Little Girl Version, See Yours.” paired with an image of a young girl wielding a gun. That is NOT the same as an adult saying, “I was a tomboy,” or “I liked dolls when I was a kid,” or “I liked both blue and pink when I was growing up.” This is a man with a fetish disorder projecting his paraphilic delusion onto a little kid…and then inviting others to do the same. The girl in Daniel Roush’s post is pictured holding a rifle and smoking a cigarette. If “trans kids” can consent to having their healthy body parts amputated, then why not let children smoke or buy guns?

When a grown man’s identity is built around “little girl” imagery, that is not a civil rights story. It's a public safety issue. Little girls are not a concept for twisted men to inhabit. No one is claiming a social media post is a crime, but it must be noted that some report that David Roush has a young daughter, and any normal society would treat it as a glaring safeguarding red flag when a father publicly romanticizes “a little girl version” of himself and pushes “protect trans kids” content, while also having a documented criminal history that includes a prior felony child abuse conviction.

The pattern across these posts is the same pattern that keeps showing up in larger institutional messaging:
1. Language Contamination – erase sex-specific terms (like mother and father) and replace them with gender-neutral labels or therapeutic word salad.
Language Contamination — Courage Is A Habit
2. Dehumanize Moms and Dads – erode parental autonomy by redefining mothers and fathers out of existence.
3. Deconstruct Childhood Innocence – force adult sexuality onto children and expose them to inappropriate concepts they are too young to grasp.
4. Child Sexual Autonomy – allow minors to make decisions with their bodies that they are not mature enough to properly consent to.
5. Affirm…or Else – label parents who disagree with pediatric transgender procedures as harmful or unloving.
6. Abolish The Family – diminish parental authority and childhood innocence as outdated concepts, demonize parents as oppressors, form a wedge, and then claim to “liberate children from their families.”
7. Wrap it all in feel-good slogans like “you are changing the future!” so anyone with objections looks cruel.
This is social conditioning at its finest – training society to see boundaries as bigotry, while treating little girls as props to affirm sick adults.

Monique Gilbertson tried to remove a dangerous person from her home. Court records and prosecutors say he responded by killing her, hiding her body, and stepping into her life. The entitlement, objectification, and refusal to accept NO for an answer have earned Daniel “Jazlynn” Roush a spot on our watchlist. The alleged killer murdered an elderly woman, stole her home, her property, and her identity, and then attempted to wear her life like a costume.
Men’s fetishes do not make them women.
Women and girls are female. No substitutes.
When the harsh reality of transvestic sadism is ignored, to “Protect The Dolls,” it is women like Monique Gilbertson who pay the price.
