I imagine that this slime returned the one young woman to her home after raping her was used to help to, "profile" him.
Where is the composite sketch!? I have the utmost confidence in LE's abilities but damn, you'd think there'd be SOMETHING by now!!!
ETA: Nevermind. "The UNR student who was assaulted did not see his face but said she saw a baby shoe inside her attacker's truck." http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080129/NEWS01/801290351/1321/NEWS

Isn't that what LE said? That's how they got his DNA and a description.
Dee, Yes the suburban dude and Ian have been cleared.
It's quite possible that Brianna KNEW her attacker, according to statistics presented in the article below.
Predators seek vulnerabilities JACLYN O'MALLEY

Sexual predators rely on two factors: opportunity and the isolation of their victim, said a national safety expert.
"The one thing a predator needs to be successful, if they know you or not, is privacy, control and isolation," said Mathew Obenaus, co-founder of Virginia-based SAFEU, which uses education to empower citizens against sexual predators.

"He said those who prey on strangers are rare and that about 90 percent of these offenders are known to their victims. He said they use interaction with their victims as a setup for sexual abuse. By testing boundaries, they are able to see how far they can go. They also use charm and manipulation."

This looks like a series of attacks focused on college girls in a particular geographic location. It may be further focused on body type.
The perp may very well be white, early thirties, married, one child, employed, loner but semi-socialable (sp). He is very disconnected to reality. He is manipulative. Is showing a chronological pattern to his attacks as in a continued cycle of events that escalates his disconnect, tolorance for risk, and increase in intensity.
He has to be getting very nerveous and feeling like its all "crashing down". Depending on his level of arrogance, he may turn himself in soon.
I recall an unusual case that was featured on, "Unsolved Mysteries" where a rapist abducted a young woman from the woman's front lawn at night. The woman was outside on their front lawn with her female roommate close to their own house. The rapist took her away raped her and drove her back and dropped her off close to her home.
I imagine that this slime returned the one young woman to her home after raping her was used to help to, "profile" him.
One thing that sticks in my mind is that he attacked two women who lived blocks from each other. Attackers often attack within their, "comfort zone". I think it is possible that this scum lives or works near that area, or he knows (or has known) someone and visits (or visited)someone near where both young women were attacked/abducted. I also imagine that they may have enlisted the help of a geographic profiler for this aspect.

I agree, Dad. I think your perception is very good, but I hope that his need to escalate did not include murder. If he is married or lives with a gf, then if Brianna is still alive where might she be? I don't mean to be unnecessarily negative, but it is highly possible that Brianna didn't survive.

I have thought and posted here that he must live close by the victims. I am rethinking that now. I hate to flip flop but would it make sense to be that risky?
I am changing my mind and now believe that while he lives in the Reno area, he does not live in the neighborhood. However, I bet that he does work within 5-15 minutes of the neighborhood. He "scouts" it out before, during, or after work.
If that assumption is correct, where could he be employed within that proximity and those hours? Anyone that familar with Reno?
Yet, he went back to within blocks of the same area a second time. It is not uncommon for serial rapists/killers abduct their victims within a one mile or so range. But, for this slime to have attacked two within blocks of each other seems to indicate that he possibly has a strong tie to that particular area--even more so and more specific than an attacker who chooses two victims one mile apart.
Lion
It could be that he considers it to be "target rich".
Where/what are the main suburbs in the area for an income of 30k to 60k?
I think he targets girls he know's he wouldn't have chance with, just thinking out loud...
I think so too, paddy. I've seen Brianna's pic, and she is a very pretty young lady. I wonder how close in description the other victim is to Brianna's.
