It's some fucked up shit happens to women, and I can't help but feel she'd be just another vanished hooker if she hung out with white guys. 

Did gangster-rap lifestyle claim Utah woman?
Another world: The Payson native was working as a call girl when she was shot dead in northern California

Police warned Lee Danae Laursen the pimps and would-be rappers she associated with were dangerous.

Some detectives offered her money so she could return home to Utah.

But Laursen - a former child care worker from Payson caught up in prostitution and a deadly feud in the rap music world - ignored their advice and declined their cash.

Less than three months later, the 21-year-old was found dead in the northern California town of Fairfield, shot twice in the head.

Fairfield police Sgt. Dan Pitcher said detectives have at least two theories for why Laursen was killed: her involvement with budding rappers or her work as a prostitute.

If she was killed for her connections to the music world, police say, it would make Laursen the fourth homicide victim in a series of crimes that spans three states.

"I don't know if she was brainwashed or what. But the lifestyle she ended up involved in was so far removed from the lifestyle she lived in Utah," said Todd Hendrix, a Las Vegas Metropolitan police detective investigating two homicides that may be linked to Laursen's.
