Brianna Denison 19yo Reno NV #5

The bend in the nose, has facial hair...Leviosa, that looks like a very interesting match.

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!

WOW, so much more of a resemblance then "myspace guy," IMO. TY, for the links.

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.

Lion

I may be wrong on this but I thought the victim he took home stated that he threatened her with a gun. Am I mixed up on this?

 

[10EC_Dad]

Prostitution is illegal in Washoe County (and Clark County, where Las Vegas is). IIRC the law allows it in counties with populations of under 300,000.

His appetite may not subside but he may be too afraid to attack again. It is very possible he will use a prostitute this month.

Armchair quaterbacking is a great sport, huh?

Unfortunatly, we do not know all that LE does, even though we all have relatives or friends in law enforment. Example, my husband is a pilot but I have no idea how to fly an airplane)
You guys don't know all the details, the talking heads are great at drama including Mark F
I think Reno PD is doing what needs to be done. And don't forget the FBI is involved as well

It's very easy to blame LE for "not doing something sooner" or say "they should be letting us search". Most of these outcrys come from people without a clue about evidence preservation or crime scene integrity or due process. It is indeed easy to conduct an investigation from ones armchair and keyboard.

Let me preface here I am talking about the second vic, then Bri.

We know he returned her to her place of residence..that freaked me out right away, who lets a rapist take you home? I am wondering if he didn't take her back to her place and rape her again....and then he burglared that place on Jan 19th, why , because he thought she would be there to rape, when she wasn't there, he looked for another vic, Bri which was on the 2oth of Jan. this is someone who rapes about 1 x per month..again I say we are looking at him doing this again either this week or next.

LE needs to be very vigligant and so do women in this area of the college. And I live in PA so I don't know the vic..just profiling here.

I have been wondering how he knew her address. Did he make her tell him? Or had he been stalking her and knew where she lived already? I think this is an important question to look into, because of the stalker element. That means he very well could have stalked the Mackay Court house prior to Brianna's abduction, or stalked her the night before at SWAT, or as she was leaving that house to go to SWAT. Or, one thing I haven't heard put out there is whether or not the perp could have followed Bri from her mom's house in another part of Reno. Remember that either KT or her friend picked Bri up from her mom's and took her to Mackay Court.

I am glad they are conducting safety seminars on campus and stepping up security at the college. Those are positive steps.

It is a very scary scenario to think he could strike again within that time frame. Yes, it could happen.

It does bother me that he went back to victim #2's apt. the night before he abducted Brianna. He is very bold to try to go back to rape her again. Was he going to kill her instead? Did he realize he had made a mistake in leaving a witness? Is this the reason he killed Brianna?

Maybe he came back again to see if victim #2 was home and not finding her there...he happened to see Bri through the open doors and windows. He was already in his predatory state and seized the opportunity. Makes sense to me.

Aren't there some rapists who try to turn their victims into "dates?" I just saw a case like that on some show. The rapist dropped the victim at the house and actually came back a few nights later to bring her a Christmas tree and take her "out." I think at that point the cops were already staking out the place. Could this perp have been hoping the Taiwanese girl could be his "steady" victim?

 

[10EC_Dad]

Refocusing on the suspect, I want to restate my "profile" of the perp and get your thoughts.

Male in early 30s
Married/recently divorced
Lives in suburb within 30 mins of crimes ( I have suspected an area like North Valleys based on proximity and demograhics obtained from Google Maps and Census websites)
Works within 15 mins of crimes
Chose his "territory" due to the availabilty of chosen "targets"
Is quite, no close friends, however can be charming
Has no previous criminal record

I may be way off base in my opinion. I would greatly appreciate others' "profile".

I do not think murder was his motive with Brianna. It may have been contemplated but not the ultimate objective. I think the murder is an example that his sickness is writing checks that his intelligance can't cover. Thus, Brianna was found in an unlikely location not indicitive of a well thought out disposal plan.

It appears obvious that his sickness is progressing. He is loosing more control of his actions and covers his fear with quite arrogance. He will strike again but not on his monthly cycle this month. Will likely go to a prostitute this month.

Someone suspects it is him, but beyond the coincidental indicators, he does not have the "personality" of someone who could do these things. The person who suspects is afraid of falsely accusing someone with no visiable signs of being such a monster. We should all pray for this person to have courage.

If this person does not call in the tip, the perp will strike again. He will be careless and hopefully caught while pursuing the victim.

Again, I would appreciate others' similar posts.

I think you are on point with this train of thought, SS. I honestly think that the perp had already escalated prior to Brianna's abduction, and when he got away with it, he realized he should not have left a witness alive and went back for victim #2. I'm sure if there were another obvious abduction or missing person, that LE would have connected that, or tried to. But what about a prostitute, runaway, or drug user??? Someone who wouldn't be noticed missing right away??? Someone to ease him into the new phase of his urges without a lot of risk???

I also think that while LE and Reno residents should be very vigilant right now due to the time of the month that the "KNOWN" attacks happened. But to be honest, statistically, more than half of rapes are NOT reported. I just really can't make myself believe that we or even LE know about all of his attacks.

10ECDad,

I didn't see your last post before I posted mine, but I see that you have had a similar train of thought to mine, just a little differant.

Very good post.

It would be interesting to futher discuss the purpose of his return to the victim's apartment. Did he know she was not there? If so, what was his purpose? I don't recall, did he use a key or tried to force entry? What alterted him to flee?

 

[dee10134]

The best case scenario is they will find this bast$#d now. The worst case scenario is that he will haunt Reno for years. Perhaps he already has...we just don't know.

Who knows if he has other victims? He may even be raping and killing prostitutes for all we know. Maybe we should look up missing persons cases in Reno over the past few years and see if any may correlate with this guy's MO? (If it hasn't already been done, of course...)

 

[dee10134]

I agree. I think this may be like a strategic game of cat and mouse to him. He preys on his victims but waits until the most opportune time to strike. He can't strike now. There's too much heat in Reno right now. He will wait until things simmer down before he abducts his next victim. Hopefully he's caught before then. In the mean time, I fully believe he will be utilizing the "services" of prostitutes. It wouldn't surprise me if they find one dead in the next few weeks...

You make a great point to look outside the known linked attacks.

It does seem though that he has escalated with the known linked cases. If he has killed before, it seems odd that he would not have killed the other two know victims.

It is wise to look at any recent (past 12 months) reported rapes/attempted rapes. If he started with prostitutes, it is unlikely they reported the rapes though.

Interesting column about Brianna and another serial rapist/killer who "fit in" too well and was not caught for years:

I am afraid that you are correct and this is the type of person we are looking for.

Rolex,

Nothing mean-spirited intended here whatsoever; but what exactly is your point? Find me one person in LE that does not appreciate what we're doing here.

Far be it from me, but any number of photos offered on this site alone, could and may well in fact have evidence unbeknownst to the photographer(s).

What you're saying to ME is they've got it under control, get out of the way. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Every single day I see and hear some community member or LE or mostly both, ask for continued assistance in the case.

 

[Leviosa]

If he started with prostitutes, it is unlikely they reported the rapes though.

10EC Dad:

If this were to happen in any other town I'd probably agree. However, we're talking Reno here; I love the place, darned near moved there in fact. Yet killing a prostitute there, is cutting in on someone else's turf which probably carries a death sentence without judge jury and the perp would never be found. (If you follow me) :crazy:

Yet, I don't think he has killed a prostitute but may have raped them.

Yes, I follow you. I grew up in an area, here in the South, that had the reputation for the same type of justice. Mess with the family. . . disappear in the mountains. Like most reputations, has a basis that is factual, but it is greatly overstated.

I think there is a good chance he will go back to a prostitute for a while.

 

[jennyjwv]

Do you think she could have resisted or fought back and that is the reason she lost her life? Maybe the other victims just went w/it and didn't offer any resistance......
