I don't see any connection to Katie's case. Katie and dog were attacked in a central park in a large city...a public space. Briena and her dog were attacked inside a camper van in a small town of less than 1200 people, far away from Atlanta. Of course stranger things have happened!
It’s hard to know at this point. We need to know what her injuries are and how how her injuries were sustained. Katie’s killer could easily have scope out a new location. And, the attack doesn’t need to be in a public place or the same size city. But the attack happening to a woman and her dog at about 12:30 am are enough to make you wonder. What’s important are the type of injuries and what the killer used. Also, that area around Cripple Creek can swell to 22000 people. It’s a big resort area not far from Colorado Springs.
I would have to see something more compelling, before I could connect these two cases. There is a public post here Woodland Park - Community Page - search Briena's name to pop it up.

Not saying they are absolutely connected. Just saying it’s worth knowing more and keeping an open mind. Hope Briena is going to recover.I would have to see something more compelling, before I could connect these two cases.

Hope Briena continues to recover from her injuries and TCSO was able to find evidence to solve this horrific crime.
In October 2023, her Facebook page says she was working as a porter at Colorado Grande Casino. There's also a picture of her camper.

Tried repeatedly to find an update, none found yet, just hoping that further info. is not being held back until it is known whether BK survives or not.
I hope police are not holding back as well. This practice of police not making public information about these horrific crimes seems so counter productive, imho.
My heart goes out to Briena, her family, and oh my world, the brave Ida... who might never see her human again. Imagine being in your safe space, with a dog, and having to withstand this brutal attack.
I'm hoping beautiful Ida bit the heck out of the perp! Poor Briena, I am praying for her.
Since it was brutal, chances are there is blood from the attacker on the victim or her dog and LE has DNA IMO. Also, neither were killed which tells me that the attacker had to leave, IMO.
Or, her attacker thought she was dead. It could also be that once Ida was injured she hid somewhere in the camper. I do hope there is useful forensic evidence in the camper or on Ida. Horrific.
Thanks for linking. Too bad there isn’t updated information. What is Briena’s condition now. Who are they looking for? What kind of evidence was at the scene?Aug 21 '24
