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'm just catching up on what was posted today, so I apologize for commenting so late - and for saying things that may have already been said. Anyway...
I agree with most of your profile, but I doubt he lives in the North Valleys. I live there and there are very, very few apartment complexes, and the cost to rent a house in Reno is ridiculous, especially in the North due to the size of the properties. I don't see the perp owning a house. Even the wages for a "good" paying job in Reno are disproportionate to the cost of housing. I further don't think he has a "good" paying job.
There is also an element of compartmentalization here. What I mean is that people tend to stay in their own areas (around their residence or work). For example, you won't find people from the South, going up to Spanish Springs, unless for a very specific reason, like to visit someone. I think Adnoid will agree with on that.
I see the perp living near UNR, both for the lower rents and being familiar with the area. If he was just targeting students, as opposed to targeting students in a particular area, he could just as well be hunting at Truckee Meadows Community College. I think he knows that many of the UNR students live very near the campus and may walk home, giving him easy access. The area around UNR also has lots of winding little streets that might pose a problem for a perp unfamiliar with the area.
I think there is a tie to the university, and a reason he is targeting pretty, fresh-faced young women. If he just wanted a young women, UNR isn't very far from 4th Street, where most of the illegal prostitutes hang out.
He maybe targeting the sort of women who reject him (or looks like a specific woman who rejected him). Maybe he looks weird or something. Despite not being able to score with the sort of women he is attracted to, I agree with you that he is married/lives with a woman, or recently did. I think she has a child, probably by him, and he's lost interest in her since the baby came along. I'm not sure he even cared that much for her to begin with. She may have just been convenient. He may also be abusive to her, perhaps just emotionally, because she isn't up to his "standards". I think the baby shoe belongs to her child - it may even be her vehicle. I opined before that she may work nights at a hospital or casino, and he's supposed to be watching the baby, but instead goes out hunting when the baby is asleep. In that scenario, he wouldn't have to account for being out late at night.
It also occurred to me yesterday, that he might have had to work the day he abducted Brianna. My reasoning is that the area he chose to dump her body is undeveloped enough that he knew the body wouldn't be quickly discovered, but if he really didn't want her to be found he wouldn't have to drive very much further in any direction to dump her where she likely wouldn't be found for years. I don't think he wanted her body discovered, I think he ran out of time.
I guess I should go back to reading the 10 or so pages I need to catch up on, since it's very likely someone has posted similar thoughts or have already come up with a scenario that blows mine out of the water.
This is all speculation and I reserve the right to ammend my opinion about any/all of this should hard evidence come to light or I just change my mind.
