Wow excellent photos FXSTS! I never realized that all these incidents took place with a block or two of each other. The perp knows this area like the back of his hand.Yes, it does seem he knows the area well. However, LE literally went door to door canvassing the immediate vicinity for anyone resembling the description of the perp or the truck. Either he doesn't live right there or they somehow missed him.

Doesn't it make you want to walk around the neighborhood and eyeball anyone close to the description and just say "I know it's you" and see what happens.It sure does! If I lived there, I would be out in the middle of the night checking out what goes on around there and who is out n about at that hour.

Is there a common laundramat in that block?

I am wondering if that could be what is sitting on the corner of Sierra and College with the parking areas in front and back. It looks like a business, but I can't tell what kind. FXSTS said he will check it out.
ETA: According to Google, the nearest public laundromat is 1.8 mi from the house. So I guess there is not a laundromat in the immediate area. The apartment complex would have one onsite tho.

I've never thought he lived so close by, but instead just hung around there at night looking for victims. After Brianna's murder, he's probably far away, imo.
I wonder if the home where Brianna stayed had any work done to it recently or sometime prior to attack.
I wonder if the perp is someone who works in the area ie) roofing, home repair, etc. Someone who people wouldn't take a second look at because he's in a company vehicle, scopes the areas out and comes back in the darkness to attack. Someone who had access to this house to do repairs.
My mind is going all over the place with this.

I started looking at Pizza places. The nearest one is called Pubs and Suds. I don't know if they deliver, but they are located at 1000 Ralston St which is .4 mi from the house and 1 minute away.
Pizza delivery guys are overlooked a lot in a neighborhood. You expect them there. They have contact with you in your home (front door), they can figure out quickly who orders what and how much (would know how many live there), and would have knowledge of the area. They might also recognize how many vehicles are parked at a house time after time, too. (If there were normally three or four...it would be easy for them to tell some were gone since they have to park to drop off the pizzas.)

Newshound, I had to find a refresher on the clothing and it doesn't sound like a Domino's uniform to me. It doesn't mean it couldn't be related to another place which is local tho. However, I wouldn't expect him to be wearing his delivery clothing at that time of the morning either. My point was he might have been there before and been aware of the living arrangements.
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, another shirt underneath with wrist-length sleeves, unknown color pants – regular length – not jeans. The pants reminded the victim of basketball pants as the material was smooth but they made no noise when he moved and they had an elastic waist band and no zipper.

I have always wondered if he isn't a former student who used to live in that area. Late 20's would be about the right age for that. This could explain the familiarity with the area and LE not finding him in their interviews with neighbors. He is VERY comfortable there and this allows him to take the risks he takes in these crimes. He may still have college buddies in the area which allows him the opportunity to scope out current residents without seeming out of place. I know there was some speculation that he could have attended a house party on College Ave. the night Bri was abducted, or knew about the party and saw it as an opportunity to find a victim. I continue to believe this was a random crime of opportunity. That neighborhood is/was his hunting grounds and Bri was so very vulnerable.
SeriouslySearching
04-23-2008, 08:16 PM
It is my understanding they checked out the people who attended the party nearby that night and came up empty (meaning no POI was identified).
I tend to think he is older, but could have some form of association to the school. I don't see him being among the average college crowd tho.
I think it is a crime of opportunity, too.
SS, good thinking. I never thought of Pizza delivery, but it's possible. They get off work in the early morning hours and as you mentioned they would know the area. I wonder if any of the victims frequented Pubs/Subs?

I know they asked to talk to anyone who attended that party but don't recall hearing anything about the outcome. Too bad that didn't bring any significant info, well at least that LE was willing to reveal. I don't know that he would have actually attended if he was planning an attack. He seems to want to avoid being seen and has been described as likely a "not standing out in a crowd" type of person.
I agree that he likely isn't your normal college guy (we can only hope :eek:). However, I do think he does or has lived in that area. LE repeatedly states that he is not someone you would suspect, so he likely blends into this area. If Bri is his first murder then the age range they suspect (late 20's to early 30's) fits into the offender profile. If they have canvased the area as throughly as they say I don't see how he could have gone unnoticed if he still lives there. BUT it isn't unusual for the killer to have been questioned early in the investigation and pass muster, only to resurface later on when more evidence is found.
I feel like I'm talking in circles now....no wonder LE said this case gets so frustrating.

The problem could be he may be much older than they believe which has caused them to overlook potential suspects.
While the party might have been still going on at 4:30 am- 9:00 am, I don't think it would have mattered to him. Most college students, if they are still up partying at that hour, wouldn't care or notice someone in the neighborhood. The other bad thing is...if someone did see something leaving that party...would they remember it clearly or at all?!

IIRC the party ended around 4:00. I agree that college students likely weren't paying much attention while leaving the party at that hour.
I would hope that LE isn't eliminating anyone because he isn't in that particular age range. I tend to think he is in that age range and would be surprised if he is much older. What leads you to believe he is older and how much older do you suspect?

IIRC, the 4:30am-9:00am window was when Brianna was abducted. I agree though that no one would be paying any attention and when questioned by LE later probably wouldn't remember who they saw that night because they were intoxicated. I think it's possible he used to live in the area, or attend the university, but he could also just be someone who knows that is a good area to find the victims he wants. As for the pizza delivery, don't those places usually hire college students?

I doubt he would be raping women in the neighborhood he lives in simply because there's an extreme risk of the victim seeing him and calling LE.
I truly wonder if he was in that house and took the other girls underwear previously to grabbing Brianna. Maybe the other girl was the intended victim. LE should really retrace her steps between the time of the last attack and Brianna's abduction.
Yeah poor Taylor. Difference was that scum knew her very well in fact.

I don't know how concerned he was about being recognized by the first two victims. He covered their faces and neither woman got a good look at his face. There was no sketch done from those two attacks and I am sure he probably kept a close eye on the Secret Witness site to check. The rest of their descriptions are vague, too...so he still may not be concerned.

Food delivery is a good idea, based on uniform description. However, the one victim's noted lack of smelling anything unusual about the perp would probably remove food delivery or handling out, if the assumption was that he did the crimes after his work (rationale for being out so late).
Food prep and/or delivery could be smelly. You know how you can go into a gas station or convenience store where the clerk smokes and you pick that up after just a few minutes in there? The same thing would happen with a guy delivering hot tomato-based products with cooked yeast. You'd be able to smell it.
I think it is possible to think that the guy does use the truck for work since there were papers describe by the Dec victim as having type written wording on them. It could be school related or work related, but the consensus is that he seems to look for victims late at night when he has a legitimate reason to be out at that time (his family or SO wouldn't think it unusual for this person to be out and about after midnight.)
Either his job is very sanitary with no physical effort involved (no sweaty smell to him) if he did go straight from work to committing his crimes, or he had had an opportunity to shower after work.

Previously posted by SS-Newshound~ I would like to know where the missing items are, too. I see what you mean about another crime scene. I believe he took her somewhere else myself before dumping her. The nearest place to Bri's was a straight shot to that quarry. I hope they scoured it well.
The December vic (will have to find the link now) mentioned she was driven "up an incline" after she was in the truck. (Another thing that FXSTS could check out from Virginia Ave!)
That could indicate a parking garage as well?? Not sure what is in that area but multistory parking garages usually have inclines. He seems to like parking garages.
SeriouslySearching
04-24-2008, 10:56 AM
I know the location of the parking garage seems ironic to be so close, but again...I don't believe the Oct. attack in the garage is related. There is also a certain "sound" when you are in a parking garage and driving not to mention the short upward motion then quick turns. I will have to find it where she mentions driving up the incline for a few minutes. (It might have even been in the Secret Witness report.)
I think the time of the attacks this person had showered and was clean. Pizza places close much earlier than that so he had plenty of time before. As far as getting out of the house away from a SO...I know many women who can sleep through their man going out at night. Maybe he had "insomnia" and made it a habit to go drive around.

Yes, Rick. I used to think he used the front door, but I didn't know about the alley until FXSTS posted the photos. It makes sense now. The only reason I thought it would be the front was because his vehicle would be closer.
I was on another site that talked about Brianna. It mentioned that there is a gym and Chinese restaurant near by. FX can you confirm this? Another place that delivers????

The Chinese restaurants here have only chinese delivery drivers (family businesses maybe), but it is possible I guess. The nearest one is called Samurai Sam's at 400 W. 5th St. and is 1 mile from the house. I don't see on their site that they deliver.
The gym, IIRC, is very near to where he dumped the body. I don't remember hearing of one close to her house. St. Mary's Fitness Center is located at 645 N Arlington Ave which is .9 mi to the house and approximately 4 minutes.

Absolutely, your post is on to something. How do you steal other peoples underwear without knowledge- you gain access to their house in a non-suspect way and grab it when they are not looking.

I don't know what to think about the fact that he didn't go that far. Either he wasn't familiar with the area and figured no one would recognize his car, so he just didn't even try to go that far. Or, he is known to be in the area and felt like no one would think his truck out of the place there. I guess it could go either way. It makes me wonder how far he took Brianna.

I know nothing about the area so I'm not sure how far he could have driven in that time considering possible traffic lights, one way streets, etc. You'd have to think there wasn't a lot of traffic that time of night. It's hard to tell if the turns happened after stops, such as a stop sign, or if he was on a winding road. He obviously wasn't on a freeway considering the speed and turns. I'm not sure how much time LE is spending on trying to find this location. It may not provide much useful information at all. They already know he is familiar with that area. Unless he somehow left other evidence there it may provide little insight into his identity...but what do I know??:cool:

You're right, it might not provide much to identify him, but it seems odd to me after looking at the satellite map that he didn't drop Brianna's body closer and instead took her to the other end of the city. Maybe to throw off LE? It might just be something we'll never know.

I was thinking the same thing that he has some tie to the area he chose to drop Brianna's body. I just wonder if he did that right after her abduction or later on? If it was even a few days after he abducted her, that would say a lot about where he lives or if he has a storage rental unit, imo. I know LE said she'd been there at least a week, but with the snow it's hard to know just when he put her in the field.

I think he put her there immediately after killing her. Why LE is trying to keep it a secret...I don't understand. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he isn't going to keep a body around for days and days due to the decomp.
I agree. :)
I'm curious, does anyone know if psychics have been used in this case?
If yes, what info have they come up with?

Food delivery is a good idea, based on uniform description. However, the one victim's noted lack of smelling anything unusual about the perp would probably remove food delivery or handling out, if the assumption was that he did the crimes after his work (rationale for being out so late).
Food prep and/or delivery could be smelly. You know how you can go into a gas station or convenience store where the clerk smokes and you pick that up after just a few minutes in there? The same thing would happen with a guy delivering hot tomato-based products with cooked yeast. You'd be able to smell it.
I think it is possible to think that the guy does use the truck for work since there were papers describe by the Dec victim as having type written wording on them. It could be school related or work related, but the consensus is that he seems to look for victims late at night when he has a legitimate reason to be out at that time (his family or SO wouldn't think it unusual for this person to be out and about after midnight.)
Either his job is very sanitary with no physical effort involved (no sweaty smell to him) if he did go straight from work to committing his crimes, or he had had an opportunity to shower after work.
You may find the information on this link interesting talking about Brianna's case. http://www.briansdreams.com/MISSING/publicr/603.htm
There is more ...but the info below was garnered from a person who is using Remote Viewing to see what happened to Brianna...The Aramark truck is a food vendor..hmmm
My friend sees a truck belonging to ARAMARK in her RV. She sees Brianna alive for a while after her abduction – 10 days approx. She saw an image of a street sign “GrandView” during the first 3-4 days, which is close to UNR – she did not know this area at all – we found it on Google Maps. We drove the streets right after she was reported missing and she felt she was alive in a cellar, dark and damp. She feels she was in a home that was occupied by someone other than the kidnapper – possibly parents or an older family member.
We looked for anything for 4 weeks – but there is something that happened to Brianna that I just found out about and can’t mention due to the high sensitivity. My friend saw it happening to Brianna and she was alive and crying. This occurred within 7 days of the kidnapping. When she came to work and told me about it, we both felt “how crazy” it was and too weird to imagine, so we figured she was obsessing about this case. IT WAS A TRUE RV. After that she saw the ARAMARK truck and felt she had passed.
My friend, who I have known for 16 years, is absolutely distraught about this situation. She knew she was alive, she knows what he did to her, and now we are left with ARAMARK truck. Please see if there is anything here that helps you see some details about this man. My friend predicted her father’s death 6 months before it happened, predicted her own serious injury in Oct of 2006, and helped the family of a missing man many years ago. I have seen her “work” and believe she has important information. The police are not interested because she has not done this work before, publicly. I am the only one she told about what Brianna had done to her, and I found out just Thursday that this was indeed one of the things this guy did. I am the one that told her that it was too sick to think about.
Appreciate your time,

There has been absolutely nothing stated by LE or the family that would indicate Bri was held captive while alive...actually the info has been to the contrary.
If the purpose of considering the food industry was that it would give someone (delivery person) the chance to become familiar with the residents of that neighborhood, then ARAMARK doesn't present that opportunity (at least IN their homes).

I think he dumped her there because he drives by there often for some reason. He was keeping an eye on her...so to speak. He still drives by and relives his crime, imo. (Probaby part of the reason they put up the cameras)

I had thought with the light brown hair and stubble in a pattern that looks like he has worn a goatee in the past plus the slightly pudgy build and meaty fingers that he could be a possibility.
What got me more, though, was the accessibility he had to campus during construction and to a work vehicle for hunting/committing the assaults, the possiblity brought up by other posters of the perp being in construction b/c of the tanned arms but otherwise light skin and his office only being a little more than a mile north from where Bri was found.
Also, the man has been going through a divorce/custody battle/child support case according to the court records I found through Google and posted above. This, in addition to some sort of rejection by a wife or SO, has been discussed before on here as possible triggers for why this perp started this string of attacks. It's probably nothing, but I figured I'd throw it out there!

I'm really confused now.Yes, it does say that. Which means at the time they released that sketch and the first description they got from the other two victims...that could be a possibility. However, as the descriptions from the Virginia Ave victim progressed...the sketch became less likely to be part of these cases, imo. I have always felt that LE needed to clarify this, but they have not. Putting out a sketch in the first place which clouded the investigation was a poor decision on their part. Yes, the guy should be caught for the other attack, but should not have been automatically associated to this. He used a gun in that attack...not the mo of the perp in these attacks. Now the physical description doesn't match the sketch, but so many people will still consider it and will be thrown off by it.

It has been months since any new information was released about Bri's death or the perp. It gets frustrating as I totally agree that someone knows something. However, as we have seen in other cases they may have reported their suspicions and LE either a) did not see them as related, b) talked to the perp and he passed the "look test" c) haven't followed up on the tip yet, or d) have him in their sights. The only other scenarios I can think of would be that he is so good at hiding his dark side that NO ONE has a clue or he truly is such a loner that no one even notices him. Although I guess someone could be protecting him and just not saying anything. Unfortunately, that is all too possible as well.
It seems that in these cases if an arrest isn't made relatively soon then it does tend to go cold. However, there was a case locally where a college girl was murdered and they arrested someone last year, almost 10 years later, after he was arrested for another crime and the DNA was matched.

A lot of people agree with you. I just have never heard anything that would lead me in that direction. It appears that his MO has been random attacks. The one uncertainty to me in this regard is my suspicion that he was familiar with the house. Of course, he could have scoped out the layout while he watched Bri and waited for her to go to sleep. Unfortunately, there were lot of uncovered windows which allowed him to see the entire common area. It is even possible that he lived there, or knew someone who did, at some point.
ITA that this case will begin to fade from awareness for most of us. I hate to admit that but it is understandable. Unless you live in that area and/or are privy to inside info you are very limited in how you can help. (There are several posters here who have done some good detective work with limited information. :clap: ) LE needs to review their evidence and reconsider what might be useful to the public in helping them ID this guy. The longer this goes on the more time he has to cover his tracks and possibly hurt more women. For example, it wouldn't look as suspicious if he were to pick up and move at this point.

I think you might be on to something there, Rick. Either the perp got much bolder in the manner in which he abducted his victims or he had familiarity either with Brianna, someone who lived in the house, or the house itself ~ like he tried to break into the apartment of the Dec. victim the night before. It's also very coincidental to me that the two male roommates weren't home that weekend almost as if abducting Brianna was made too easy for this monster. I'm not saying they were involved, but it could be someone they know or who knew they'd be gone and the doors unlocked.

He has light brown bushy hair. He was wearing a dark-colored long sleeve shirt, mask, and blue jeans. He was carrying a dark-colored back-pack.
Sounds like it could be Bri's perp...

I was wondering if anyone has quick access to the pictures of inside the MacKay Ct. house. I've looked in the picture forum and I know they are on here somewhere, there are just sooo many pages to go through. If anyone knows where I can find them or has them I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!

The only place I have seen the inside is on Gretawire in the interview with Mark Furhman where he does the walk-thru. This took place not long after she went missing. I will try to track it down for you. :)

SS,
Thank you. That's actually even better than what I was looking for. You know I'm a young girl, actually I'm around Brianna's age 19. Generally I probably wouldn't give things like this much thought or if so I don't think it would stick with me like this case has. My heart just breaks to think of what she had went through that night whether she was conscious or not, whether the worst things that happened to her she felt or didnt. I think from the little statements that LE has made, and even her own mother there are certainly some things that were done to her that we couldnt fathom. The reason I wanted to see pictures of the inside of the MacKay Ct. house was because I was kind of wondering where exactly the laundry room was. I really don't know how important it is to know which door the POS came through, but I honestly happen to think it had to have been the back door. One reason being, I remember reading somewhere that the blanket Brianna was sleeping that night was found in the kitchen area, which was on the way to the back of the house. Obviously, my only thought with that was he was carrying her out and he dropped the blanket. But, what I was wondering about was obviously he picked up one of the females' from the house's underwear. I know she states she doesnt know when they went missing or how. But, if you look at that tape the POS had to pass the laundry room, my conclusion is he picked them up there. I think what happened that night is a lot more simple than we think, in so many words. I think it was a crime of opportunity and that somehow it all just fell into place for him. I don't think he really had to go out of his way to accomplish anything, I don't think he's willing to try that hard, if that makes any sense at all. I just hope and pray that as time goes by he starts to feel safe because when people feel safe that's right when they slip up. And there isnt anything I would love to see more than when this guy gets what he has coming to him.

Welcome to WS, LanieCoz~ I happen to agree with you on the theory that he probably did pick them up at the time and in the laundry room. I cannot imagine another plausible explanation for them to have been used and I certainly cannot imagine Bri wearing another girl's panties if they were dirty or clean for that matter.
Yes, I think this case haunts us for different reasons. Mine is because I have a daughter that age. It is frightening, shocking, and unnacceptable this case has gone on so long already. I wait every day for the news of an arrest or even a Person Of Interest to be named. So far...nadda. My opinion is they are no closer today than they were before Bri went missing. This POS should have been taken off the streets after the first sexual assault attempt and we would not be here pondering the what ifs of Brianna Dennison's killer. :(

It's good to see new people (and people that have been here from the beginning, SS!) on here following this case. I am surprised at how slim this particular forum has gotten :(.
This is the case that also brought me to Websleuths, Lanie. I have a sister who is Brianna's age. In addition, I also lost my father at a young age like Bri did. I have not been able to get this case out of my head since it happened. Every day, I check for updates before I check my local news, and I live more than 2,000 miles from Reno. It is soooooo frustrating that the person who did this is still walking the streets and threatening the safety of other young women.

Well the way I see it is, I'm sure they are doing the best they can do on the case now (or atleast want to believe that). However, I know from experience when you report a rape or a sexual assualt, no matter what LE you are dealing with, they make you feel as if you are the person who has done something wrong and try to persuade you not to go any further with a case because its a long process. They down play it. It always takes something more serious for them to get their butts in the game and it shouldn't be that way. Granted, they can't protect every one from every thing but they need to take the information from the very beginining because that's when they can try to prevent it from happening again. Every weekend I wonder if this is going to be the weekend. I honestly feel that he's going to become comfortable again, he already feels like no one suspects him, and I think he will most def. hit again. Time is his key and he is using it.

It appears they can discuss it from now on since Reno LE hasn't found anything to go on and this case has gone beyond cold to frozen. I hope their faith in LE is going to sustain them through the next one...and probably the next one...unless the killer decides to turn himself in since they can't seem to find any clue which leads them to his door.

Welcome to WS LanieCoz!
I check this forum every day to see if there's anything new, but don't usually post because it seems like we've discussed just about every aspect of this case.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the perp has left Reno. He attacked young women several months in a row, and then, nothing. I'd look carefully at rapes/assaults in other major cities in nearby states.

This one?
On May 3, 2008, at approximately 1 p.m., Reno Police Officers responded to a report of a robbery, kidnapping, and sexual assault that had occurred in the 900 block of South Meadows Parkway, Reno. Officers learned that a female was sexually assaulted in her home by a masked intruder on May 3, 2008. The suspect also forced the victim to withdraw money from an ATM machine before fleeing the area. Reno Police Detectives responded to the scene and have been investigating the crime. Detectives believe the case may be related to an unsolved November 2006 sexual assault and burglary in Reno and are currently conducting additional investigation into this possible link. There is no forensic evidence that links this sexual assault to the Denison murder investigation.
The suspect is described as a white male, adult, mid 20s, approximately 6’1”, 170 Lbs, light brown bushy hair, and last seen wearing a dark-colored long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, a mask, and carrying a dark-colored backpack.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Reno Police Department Sex Crimes/Child Abuse Unit 785-8605 or Secret Witness at 322-4900

I looked forever trying to find anything on the Nov. '06 incident and found absolutely nothing. It could have been a case where the victim filed a report but didn't want to take it any further. Otherwise, you'd have to wonder about the lack of any information. The change in MO doesn't convince me it's not the same guy. It would make sense to change the time of the attack, and the mask makes sense in the daytime. However, I'm leaning toward believing it's not related. This attack did take place about 2 blocks from where Bri's body was found.

Here you are given a choice as well...I have no knowledge of the laws in Nevada. Did it say the '06 incident was a burglary/sexual assault? If so, LE should explain why the public wasn't warned about a rapist on the loose.There isn't even anything about the '06 incident on the Secret Witness website.

I would think the first thing they checked was the DNA or other evidence for a connection to Bri's case. Evidently, they didn't find anything. However, it does sound a bit like it could connect to the case in the parking garage and that sketch!
It will be interesting to see in the coming days or weeks what info the police will release on the the latest attack.
Was the victim of the May 3rd attack driven to the bank in her car or the perp's vehicle?
Getting back to Brianna's case. I wonder if the perp is someone who comes to Reno every month either to visit a parent or a relative and while he is here, he does his attacking. Maybe he grew up in this area and has moved away, but has good knowledge of the surroundings. He comes back to visit let's say a elderly parent or a sister/brother and borrows their vehicle to drive around. The baby shoe seen in this vehicle, could belong to a grandchild or a niece or nephew.
I know this senario doesn't seem to fit the geographical profiling, but he could be attacking where he is living too and also when he comes to Reno.
SeriouslySearching
05-12-2008, 07:09 AM
Since it has already been since the 3rd...I don't think they will release anything else to be honest.
I think that if there is a connection to the other assaults that LE would let the public know.
I guess there is a fine line as to what info LE will release to the public. If it's something only the killer would know then of course they wouldn't. There's too many copycats out there looking for their 15 minutes of infamy.
Where I'm from - Ontario, Canada we had the infamous Paul Bernardo who turned out to be the Scarborough rapist. He stalked and raped women for years before moving to the Niagara area. He lived in small town with his young wife Karla. Lived the idyllic life, he was an accountant, romantic wedding. Turns out he killed 2 teenage girls, 1 girl he ended up decapitating and throwing her body parts into a small lake around here. The other girl was abducted (with the help of his wife) and tortured before she was killed. It's always been felt that his wife was more involved with the murders that she said. Makes me wonder how a significant other can be involved in something so sadistic as this. If I remember correctly, I think she did turn him in eventually.
I wonder if Brianna's perp is married and the spouse does know something, but is afraid to come forward.

The semester is coming to a close at UNR. If the perp decides to show his face in his known hunting grounds, it will happen this week.
I think there's a chance, if he's still here, that he'll strike somewhere in Reno more toward the middle of the summer, when there are more people out and about at night in the warmer weather and more tourists to shift his attention away from the lack of victims in the area of the college.
Unfortunately, the less this case is in the media, the more people will start to let their guards down again. I think the perp knows this and will take advantage of it.

I understand completely. Brianna was older than my daughter, but still, every time I look at her I feel a rage inside that such a thing could happen to her. What the hell is wrong with a man that he can hurt a woman - someone's daughter, someone's sister - in such a way?
I agree that some woman somewhere - an intimate partner - suspects that the man in her life may be the one. Why would she not come forward? I have tried to think through myself how I would feel if I fit the profile and was asked by LE to come in and talk. Would I suspect my wife? If I fit the description, would I blame her?
A couple of times on WS we have had a discussion about taking polygraphs. I have always felt - and I feel now - that if I came home and my family was missing, I would take a polygraph so fast it would make your head spin. I know the general advice from defense attorneys is not to take one, but I don't care.
So in the same sense, I would volunteer to be screened if asked, and if I had any idea that my wife had contacted the authorities I would do my best to understand - and I think I could.
This filth, this worthless scumbag, is hiding somewhere. Anyone that suspects him owes it to all of us to go to the authorities - now. It's unfortunate that there does not seem to be enough to locate him now. Look at BTK, Green River, and too many others - how long did those take?
It's a big world, but not so big he can hide forever.

STAFF REPORT
Reno police continued Thursday to look for a masked man who broke into a woman's home last week, raped her multiple times and possibly drugged her.
The incident happened about 2:30 a.m. one day last week on Caballo Alto Court.
According to a police report, the suspect surprised the woman from behind and held what she believed was a gun to the back of her head. He asked her a few times, "where's the money," the report said.
The man then wrapped a pillow case around her head and sexually assaulted her in different rooms in her home, police said.
Someone called 911 to report a sexual assault was happening, police said. But when officers arrived, the man was gone and all of the doors had been locked, police said.
Police don't know how the man got inside.
Police said the woman appeared groggy and may have been drugged during the attack.

One thing that really doesn't add up with that, though, is the dec. victim reported that baby shoe and a couple other things that she had seen is the guys vehicle.

SO means significant other. I'm pretty new to all of this also. So, I still dont understand half of the abbreviations but the more you read other post and all of the threads you'll start piecing it together.

I posted some pictures awhile back and shortly thereafter had a couple of requests for a couple more. I haven't forgotten. I've just been overwhelmed lately. It's also very unnerving being a guy and taking photographs of the crime scenes, house,etc. when the case has not been solved. I also would like to go by the Mackay house again and take another picture of the alley/driveway because I believe that I stated that it went through to the next street, but on google maps it sure doesn't look like it is possible, so I will verify that one way or another.

Tell me about it. Better be careful about posting pictures of your fingers as well. Lots of nutjobs out there.

I posted some pictures awhile back and shortly thereafter had a couple of requests for a couple more. I haven't forgotten. I've just been overwhelmed lately.

See, not all bikers are the scum of the earth:clap: http://www.renohd.com/custompage.asp?pg=page15You did a great job on those photos. Thanks! Actually, I would be happy if you would just check out the quarry at the end of that street and take the drive back to the house on Virginia to note if there is an incline or not.
Yes, I would advise against taking photos of yourself if any part of you is listed on the suspect's profile provided by LE. Might make some people wonder. LOL
I don't think all bikers are scum! It is great what they are doing!
You are probably aware of B.A.C.A., but others might not be: http://www.bacausa.com/ They provide a wonderful service to children by giving them security until their perp is in jail or has gone through the system. Great organization!

AirBubble: Do you mind me asking what SO means? I keep going over everything I have read about heard about and so on and trying to piece it together. I origionally thought that her body was only in the field for about a week but just yesterday I read it was there for at least 2 weeks, so now that has me thinking even harder. I actually have a box of all my notes I have taken, also have photos and so on. The case is going cold and that is what i fear the most.
Sorry, Air...let me give you a crash course! We forget our manners for new people sometimes. :blowkiss:
LE: Law Enforcement
SO: Can be Significant Other or Sex Offender (depending on who is using it and the context)
POS: Piece of S&%T (Mostly used to describe perpetrators)
COB: Same as a POS (Someone meant to type cop talking about Bobby Cutts Jr. and it came out cob. We use it to describe men who abuse/kill their SO/Wife/Children)
COD: Cause Of Death
Those are all I can think of at the moment. If you see one you don't know...don't hesitate to ask! :) Also...please feel free to share your notes and things here. This case could not be colder if it were in Siberia!

LionRun- I LOVE the picture of Shep. We had a Collie/Sheppard mix for 15 years who looked soooo much like Shep in the face and coloring. He was THE most wonderful pet and companion. We lost him about 2 years ago and I still feel the void in my life today.

I still think he probably left her body there right after he killed her but the snow kept her covered up so no one found her. I believe LE originally said she'd been there "at least a week". It may be possible too that the perp doesn't live in Reno but somewhere around there and only made occasional trips there. MOO :)

I still think he does live and work in Reno. Nothing tells me otherwise. The truck having personal items such as a baby shoe and the paperwork on the floor indicate to me he is a local. The knowledge he has of the area, the way he has been able to fly under their radar, and actually the lack of another incident matching his MO.
I think maybe he is older than the suspect description and it has thrown them off (Also that sketch hurt them). If they are not looking in the right age group...they will pass up people they need to check out.

This just happened in Vegas, it sounds like the same thing briannas and the other girls rapist did. Could it be a match? the only difference is the guy is described alittle difference

SS, do you think he's a longtime Reno resident or that he just moved there in the last few months/year?
I keep checking UNR's crime blotters to see if there's been anything suspicious around campus these last few weeks of school (http://www.unr.edu/police/blotters/). They have not posted anything since April 25. Judging by the fact that multiple crimes (including drug possession, underage drinking) seem to take place on campus nearly every week, I'm curious as to why nothing has been posted.
I wonder how many students stay on or around campus after school ends.

I agree he was most likely using his own personal vehicle, and has a good working knowledge of the area, maybe from having lived there. But what made me think he might live outside the Reno area was the timing of the attacks approx. one month apart (like someone driving into the city for whatever reason on those dates), which seem to have ended with Brianna's murder in January.

Wow! His description might be a little different, but notice the facial hair. Doesn't that sound like what the Dec. victim described? He could've bleached it and added the glasses and cap to try to disguise himself, and may also have lost weight. It also fits in with the time of the month the Reno victims were attacked. :eek:

In Bri's case and the other two, no...he doesn't match the most recent description. However, in the case in the parking garage...he could.
I'm just curious regarding the men who did not want to give their DNA. What happens next to them? I know this topic was brought up before, but I'm curious are they protected under the Constitution or how does this work. If I were LE I would be trying to get their DNA somehow (I'd be waiting for that coffee cup or something)!!!!

I just want to clear this up before I make my comment; I am in no way knocking or looking down on anyone. With that said, I honestly just do not understand why an innocent person wouldn't allow for a DNA test to be done on them to rule them out as a possibility. I'm sure people have their resons but I just am not awa
