Brianna Denison 19yo Reno NV #5

You are absolutely right, unfortunately. If he isn't caught, he will strike again. Like I said earlier, given his current pattern we are getting very close to him attacking again.

I know! Patterns can change depending on what state of mind he is in and what other things are going on in his life. But, his cooling off period might be about over. His compulsion will likely redevelop soon if it hasn't already. Huge media coverage with people everywhere talking about this case might keep him in check for longer than if there was no coverage. But, eventually he will likely give in to his twisted needs.

I disagree. Most of men who do crime in control situations will use what works for them. The gun worked...he will use it again. The fact he did not brandish a weapon tells me it is not the same person. The other man who attacked these women used his strength and mind as weapons. He did not bring anything else to the situation. It would have been easier for him to do this. You don't go backwards. The ultimate factor was that he strangled her. It tells me he had no other weapon.

Police say DNA links Brianna’s killer to the man who tried to sexually assault one UNR student in November and who kidnapped and raped another UNR student in December. A third attack on another student who said she was raped at gunpoint in a UNR parking garage has not been linked forensically, but police say they are looking at it as being connected.

Philamena,
Thanks for the links, to the one above and to the other one posted after that one.

It's good to know that the police are getting hundreds of tips!

In a report from the RGJ, they state that they've had to put 6 more detectives on the case, just to handle all the tips that are coming in. They're pulling the additional detectives from other cities in the county to aid the Reno police.

That is great news! They need additional help! I can't wait til they get this Bast@$D! WOOOHOOO! They need to get him off the streets NOW!

I agree that in most instances a criminal will stick with what works and that he/she is more likely to graduate to using a gun versus no longer using a gun. And, there could very well be two different slimes involved. Yet, in this case if Brianna's killer was responsible for the October attack, I can see the logic in no longer bringing a gun.

If he found that it did nothing for him psycho-sexually to bring the gun, and he developed the confidence to use his hands to disable and control his victims (which he seems to prefer), I can picture him ditching the gun. I may be totally off base, but I can see the logic in it in this case.

So you think a person will just defy HIS norm and drop a weapon to commit such a crime?! No way. I will always believe they are two separate people who commited the crimes. They do need to find the guy in the sketch...he just is not the guy that killed Brianna.

Perhaps he felt he needed it the first time, and then found it was not necessary. Using a gun only leaves him with 1 hand free. Not using a gun, he has two free hands.

But the gun worked for him the first time!! He raped her! OK I didn't want to have to get into this...but the second victim only said she was orally raped. Now...since we heard tonite that they were gone for three hours...this could be in the first commission of his crimes. We have only heard about her testimony of being raped in his truck.

Where did you hear all this?

O/T Did anyone watch Prison Break tonight?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

The woman who was the spokesperson for the Denison family, told this tid bit when she was discussing Brianna (That the second victim was held for 3 hours.) She also mentioned the shoe was from a 3yo or younger. This gives us good information.

It is good info - at this point we'll take anything!

I hope tomorrow's headlines read: Brianna's Killer Found!

Good Night.

OK NO I do not watch Prison Break EVER. Sorry. LOL I heard all of this by following every ounce of this case. There are so many links in the first threads that I refuse to get them for you.

Good Night.

I cannot wait until that day!!! WOOHOO! Let's just pray for justice tomorrow!!

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I don't think I was clear that I thought the sketch of the man that raped the October victim should be pursued. I want him to be posted with national attention! Of course, he should be caught and prosecuted!

I think there are two perps in these cases. I simply do not think they should have blended the two. It puts stress on this case to come up with that perp..when they have no indication it was really him. The day they connect this one with DNA...I will be behind them One Hundred Percent. (Until then...not so much.)

I was out today (in Reno) and I never noticed before that almost everyone in town drives a friggin' truck or an SUV - needle in the haystack time.

People are really paying attention. The place I had lunch had big screen TVs all around and when a story came on about Brianna most of the patrons stared at the sceens transfixed.

Now, now for a really huge stretch. STRETCH.

I have read the perp's shirt described as, "Suspect clothing at the time of the Kidnap/Sexual assault: red (not maroon) short sleeve shirt described as being made of material similar in feel to a Fubu jersey-type shirt (silk/rayon/polyester type) with a medium blue-colored neckline, short printed (possibly embroidered) word on the upper left breast area..."

Unfortunately, I have no idea what a "Fubu" shirt is like and my googling didn't help much, so in my mind I just had colors. While I was out I went to Lowe's. The employees wear interesting shirts - to me anyway. What do you think?

More of a vest - but I was looking at the colors.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Yes, they do! I also found that the colors of Reno High were the same. Bright blue with red. (And they do jerseys.)

 

[Chicogirl36]

Whew!! This is great to see…that this case is generating so much…even leads! Okay I saw this person on the original "Our Fave Suspect" myspace page. He was listed as a friend of the main guy. However, when I saw this person—the loopy eye, ears, facial hair, and stature was enough for me to investigate more; then when I saw that his profile was set to 'Friends Only' I got suspicious.

Then when the sketch was released the resemblance was way too close to ignore. Anyway, if you want to you can visit: http://onemorecup.wordpress.com/4-ws/ and I've tried to put a comparison up for you to view and hopefully give your opinions on.

If there are any problems with the WordPress blog "The Thinker" one can also go to http://img402.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img402/4237/1203387936v4i.smil where the photos actually look better. CHEERS!

Let's keep the intensity up!

OMG- I checked this out and you have found an excellent match!! WOW- this looks better than some famous perps that have been captured and convicted off of a sketch. The hair color may be off, but the similarities of the facial structure are so close, this cannot be overlooked-IMHO Reno/Sparks is a small area for locals that age group. Myspace just may be the way to track someone down and looking at friends is always a great place to start. Look over at Chester Stiles thread how we tracked down the "family" thru Myspace, and learned quite a bit about their lifestyle.I dont see that anyone has responded to your pic./post. It was busy on the board and maybe got overlooked? I hope that you have passed this on to RPD- If you haven't, I will. :waitasec:

If prostitution was illigal in Reno, it would be a great time for a sting.

I don't know how to show you the mapping I have done with not only the four incidents they are talking about...but I have mapped other rapes, murders, attempted rapes in the area dating back to 2003 that I could find. There are a few which have occurred along the corridor of Virginia Ave. between where Brianna was abducted and found. The most striking thing for me was the descriptions of others indicated similarities, but stopped when olive skin and Hispanic came into play.

Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't it Virginia Street?
