RENO, Nev. -

Reno police released a composite sketch of a suspected rapist linked to a

sexual assault cases near the University of Nevada, Reno campus,
investigators say.

Profiler looks at Denison case

“The concern I have is that a lot of serial killers were serial rapists before they killed,” said John Kelly, a psychotherapist and forensic social worker. “This guy is definitely a budding serial killer and I don’t think he’s going to stop.”

Kelly is a member of the private profiling company System to Apprehend Lethal Killers (STALK). His team of detectives and forensics experts are developing a profile of Denison’s killer.

Reno retailers selling out of pepper spray and tasers:

http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080220/NEWS01/802200444/1016/NEWS

Area retailers said they can't keep up with the demand for pepper spray.

Local sporting good stores and gun shops have sold thousands of the aerosol spray canisters that can incapacitate an attacker by causing temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, a runny nose and coughing.

The killing of Brianna Denison by what police say is a serial rapist has many young women looking for any line of defense, retail clerks said.

There is an article in today's Reno Gazette Journal about blue ribbons being distributed to area schools to raise awareness of personal safety. It does not appear to be on line so I cannot post a link yet.

Denison blue-ribbon campaign launched

On Labor Day, tying a blue ribbon around your tree, mailbox or vehicle antenna in memory of Brianna Denison will remind the community of the importance of personal safety.
That's the hope of Denison's family and the board members of the Bring Bri Justice Foundation, aimed at making sure all women and children are safe in Nevada. Denison's killer, who authorities say was a serial sexual predator targeting college neighborhoods, has yet to be caught.

On Monday, the group is launching "Tie a Ribbon for Bri Day" to coincide with school returning to session. Blue ribbons will be available at Reno and Sparks area Starbucks and Scolari's locations.
