Perhaps you've heard of the pair on the right, Nathaniel Marquis Petrillo and Rianne Celine Theriault-Odom. California authorities believe Odom and Petrillo doused an exotic dancer in Tarzana, CA with a flammable liquid and then set the woman on fire.

The 27-year-old victim suffered 2nd and 3rd-degree burns over 40% of her body. She is currently in a burn center in Sherman Oaks in critical condition.

Police say Theriault-Odom and Petrillo left the Babes & Beer Sports Bar after the assault in a gold, 4-door sedan.

According to the Ventura County Star, the victim's name is Roberta Busby.

Busby was more than an anonymous victim. She was a mother. She was trying to earn a living. She had children to support. 

That's why a fund has been set up to help Busby's children. KCAL TV reports that if you want to help Busby's children, you "bring a check in to any Washington Mutual branch, made out to "Rodrigo Busby For The Benefit Of The Children Of Roberta Busby" or send a check to

"3835 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., #256
Westlake Village, CA 91362
."

Emphasis was added.

If you have any information that might lead to the whereabouts of Rianne Celine Theriault-Odom and Nathaniel Marquis Petrillo, you may call detectives with the LAPD robbery-homicide division at (213) 485-2531 or (877) LAPD-24-7.
