I disagree on the "type" theory. I think the perp prefers small, petite women with long, dark hair. The Taiwanese woman was petite, as was Brianna. Both were small, around 100 lbs. IIRC.

This would make sense considering he took the Taiwanese victim from behind. He probably did the same to Brianna. He probably prefers smaller women because they're easier to control and probably has a preference for women with long dark hair. He could also be going after long haired women because he can use the hair to his advantage (by pulling/grabbing it) to control them further.

BTW, if the plate at the base of the doorknob has screws on it, he could remove the screws on the plate to facilitate easy removal of the doorknob.

I think he picks petite woman for the simple fact that he can overpower them easier than a large frame woman. Most asian women are petite. He would have more control over them. I was tickled to death that the one victim kicked him in the head & fought back!
 
Reno police are asking the public to be aware of anyone who might have changed his personality, appearance or might have suddenly moved or sold a truck, following the announcement of a revised suspect vehicle description in the Brianna Denison abduction.
Wednesday was the 10th day since Denison disappeared from a home near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Authorities have linked her abductor to the man who kidnapped and raped a UNR student on Dec. 16. Police said they believe the suspect lives in the area and is familiar with the neighborhood where the student was assaulted and Denison was abducted. (more at link)

Hi all,
Don't get to get on here much during the school year, but I can't sleep! I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but I didn't see it. Yesterday on the Mike and Juliette show they had the police chief on. He verified that the blood was Brianna's and one of the hosts asked him if the DNA of the guy was semen. He actually started to answer that and then said he couldn't say exactly what it was, but then, he went on to say that natural oils on fingers can leave a transfer or something and that is what this guy left. So, he did tell them!

This site is so great...always learn more here than on TV!!

Welcome to WS, Tori2! I didn't see it and I am so glad you brought it up!! I keep saying there are other forms of DNA and I am having a difficult time believing he left seminal fluid or his blood at the scene.

Off topic, this is a great place to come when you can't sleep. You can read forever here! I come here first before I check out news sites. LOL If it is news from anywhere...it usually is picked up by a sleuth or Chicoliving immediately! (WTG, Sleuths!)
 
According the the link above, it appears that LE has not gotten any significant tips. This tells me that this guy is so off the radar that no one suspects him at all. LE needs to hold pressers telling the public that exact thing and beg, beg and beg for tips.

The police are saying the suspect could have already left the area, which may be why no one is phoning anything in. Maybe we should browse the papers online in some of the places surrounding Reno, or even in surrounding states....maybe there are some rapes or abductions that have occurred there that could be linked to this guy. If he already went somewhere else, he may have felt more comfortable about starting up his behavior right away. And he has the advantage of everyone intensely following Bri's particular case - makes it a bit easier to overlook other similar crimes that he may commit if they are outside the immediate area. JMO.
 
I believe that everytime a cop says he uses his "gut instinct" he is using the same intuitiveness we all possess, but few rely on. Not much different than a mother's intuition (which we all agree is pretty darn good, yes?). I agree that people here do not realize how much of what we do is intuitive. Call it a hunch, gut instinct, or whatever you will...I think it is something that goes hand in hand in trying to solve difficult cases.

You bring up some valid points. We don't know how far he would have taken the first attack since she fought back effectively, but he did not have actual intercourse with the second victim. While this could have been a time issue for him or he had other fantasies in his head, we can't know. The theory of him building up his courage could be correct. In order for him to hold her indefinitely...he would have to have help. Something to consider certainly would be another female he had control over, but I don't feel he is this type for some reason. (I feel he doesn't neccessarily control his spouse/gf.)

Thank you Utopia for the welcome. I do not live in Reno. I am an intuitive and have certain ideas on what may have happened. I know many of you don't believe in intuitives however after reading websleuths for many years....I find all of you very intuitive and perhaps aren't aware of how much you all know and are close to being right.

What if this guy is someone that is in the area only once month, So far the attacks have all been around the middle of the month and then don't occur again until the next month. Maybe if he was leaving the area after the attack then he doesn't worry about being seen afterwards. The vehicle that he used could have been borrowed from a friend.

Hunting for evidence is what we do here. That guy just seemed to fit so many of the things we know about the perp. The odds are HIGHLY against him being the guy, but as long as his name isn't put out there, he's not being wronged.

Maybe I'm mistaken Rick, but hunting for evidence is what LE does...
 
Thanks for clearing that up, Dee~ The SWAT having different ages in different groups makes more sense as to her parents letting her attend.

You are right about the attendees, too. LOL I don't know what I was thinking that he would have to be a snowboarder. Still, I don't see him following her home because the odds are insane he would find a girl so close to his last victim.

I am glad Mark F. agrees with me on this one! It was an opportunist. He didn't know she existed until he saw her before he abducted her.

I agree. If he controlled his spouse/gf (IF he even has one) then what would be his need for rape? He has all the control/power he needs at home, right?

Rick meant clues, I am sure. :) Didn't ya, Rick?! And we do hunt for clues here! We try to read between the lines, come up with logical theories, and find anything to help piece together a case.
 
I think that is a good point about somebody who visits the area around the same time each month...maybe goes to the casinos, either for work or recreation. I keep thinking about that older man who kept the young hiker in his truck for three days before finally killing her. It would be very hard to hide somebody for this amount of time unless he has a remote mountain cabin or someplace like that, which is possible in the Reno area.

It's so hard to say, I mean, we've seen cases where a guy will just grab a victim and kill them, just the one time...like the case where the girl was abducted from outside the Target store. It was the neighbors who ID'sd his truck in that case, so I think that's where the best tip might come from...somebody knows that truck. I wish they would show the model on TV or something similar..it's hard for most people to envision unless they actually see what one looks like.
 
LE keeps putting out there that they think the perp may live in the neighborhood. Someone must know of someone that hasn't come out lately, left over a week ago, or changed thier daily habits in some way.
 
I'd bet neighbors, co-workers, family etc have thought of a certain person. As in that kinda sounds like "Joe". And he drives a truck, etc, etc. Then they think about the "Joe" they know and decide.....no way! People who know this guy are going to have to be convinced it is him. And after he's arrested, they may still have a hard time believing it. I feel this guys identity is going to be a shock to many.

LE has subtly stressed the above, but they need to do it in capital letters and exclamation point!

Oh yeah...I can already hear it..."I never would have thought it was HIM!"..

I really try to put myself in someone's shoes when I hear that sad and typical response. Honestly though, I just want to smack them! Especially when they show up on a sleuthing board somewhere cussing everyone else out for daring to think different. I know, I know, it's hard to admit to being so wrong about someone's character. I've been there myself.

I guess deep down we want to believe the best in people, and thats not reality.
