Brianna Denison 19yo Reno NV #1

The blood on the pillow and the missing teddy bear make it sound like perhaps, someone woke her up as they held a knife to her. It sort of reminds me of the Elizabeth Smart case where she was told to go quietly, so that no one else got hurt. I can see the kidnapper letting her take the teddy bear because there wasn't time to argue with her and/or because there was blood on it. I am praying SO hard that this case ends like the Elizabeth Smart case and Brianna can come home with a survivor story to tell. She was majoring in psychology, so perhaps if it is a stranger, she can use her knowledge and instincts to stay alive. The biggest worry, IMHO, is that nasty boyfriend. Why has he not been located yet??? :confused:
 
LE needs to locate that boyfriend ASAP. Boyfriend was from Oregon, not sure what town. I don't think Oregon & Reno NV, are that far from each other. Aunt stated Brianna & boyfriend were in the process of breaking up, he was sending her nasty e-mails. That teddy bear thing, perhaps he bought this item for her.
 
I think it is pretty obvious since the man driving the truck hasn't come forward that he could very well be involved in her disappearance. Surely, they have his name since he was at the party. Someone had to know him!

They should look at the boyfriend, too. They need to investigate the situation anytime there is a breakup scenario.
 
In news quote, Brianna was sleeping on a couch inches away from an unlocked, glass front door. Anyone looking inside could have seen her. A brown stuffed bear that Brianna's friend had given her to support pillow is missing also. I was thinking, Brianna is only 5' & weighs 98 lb. she's is as small as 12 yr. old, plus sleeping with teddy bear, anyone looking in glass door could possibly mistaken her for a child.
 
I think I missed some information. Where is the information on the Dog not barking and the ex-boyfriend? I missed Nancy Grace and cannot seem to get the KoloTv link to work. Can anyone give me a quick update.
 
My first thought is "she's so tiny" anyone could pick her up. I have to search for new information on her...

Help find Brianna!
 
I can't find out whether the SUV guy had Nevada license plates, or if they were from another state...is the FBI going to tell us? Hopefully they say something soon...the plates should link the registered owner, what is taking so long? The sooner they get the info out, the faster she could be found, one would think.
 
Here is a bit more information:

http://tinyurl.com/2vzqbr
"The time frame of her disappearance was about five hours. Her friends in the house couldn't find her at 9 a.m."

"Suspected blood, about the size of a silver dollar, was found on a pillow she was using."

and from this link:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324568,00.html

"Hunter said there was no sign of a struggle, but they found a blanket Denison was using in the kitchen."

"But the commander of the Reno Police detectives division told FOXNews.com that Denison's boyfriend is not a suspect in the case and he was in Oregon the night she vanished.
"The aunt identified him as a suspect and that is just not true," said Cmdr. Ron Holladay. "He was of course very upset about that. ... At this point, we don’t have any reason to believe that he is a suspect in her disappearance."
The pair were text-messaging the night Denison was last seen, including "just prior to her disappearance," Holladay said.
 
the blanket in the kitchen is interesting...I mean, if the perp comes in thru the sliding glass door in the bedroom where she is sleeping (with the dog with her), then you would think the perp would just take her back out the sliding glass door, held at knifepoint. I wonder if she was already in the kitchen when the perp came into the house and she dropped the blanket then. Course then I don't see why she would have gone and laid down on the pillow, where the blood was found. The blanket in the kitchen and the blood spot (if it is blood) on the pillow just don't match up...I'm wondering if it is blood, maybe some other kind of stain? Seems if she was cut even a little, on her face, arm, hand, neck, then there would be a lot more than just a small stain. All those body parts bleed like crazy.
 
Dang. I was hoping that she was with the boyfriend. I'm inclined to believe that the guy in his 40's did not return to abduct someone later. The article states that the roommate approached him and asked him for a ride, not vice versa. He didn't come into the house. He could be a businessman, who just hasn't watched the news. I can tell you that my husband would not know that he was being sought by the authorities. He is way too busy and gets home way too late to watch cable news.

I'm wondering if somebody overheard the girls talking and followed one of them home later. This just seems like a crime of opportunity.

I think that Brianna did not scream because this guy had a knife. I think that he cut her neck when she initially struggled (blood evidence on pillow), forcing her to go with him. I think that it doesn't look good for her. :( I hope that I'm wrong.

In the link that Reannan posted the roommate had the dog in the bedroom with her and roommate also stated the dog didn't bark. Yeah, and that blanket in the kitchen, this story is getting stranger & stranger. Where is the guy in the SUV, seems LE & FBI would have located him by now!

I can see that. My Dad is very busy with his co. and I can see him giving a girl a ride rather than leave her by herself, and he doesn't follow news like this. :)eek: Can you believe it? ;))

I think the local rapes could be linked here. They are very recent. We had a electrician going around offering better deals here around our local university recently. Turned out he was "scoping out" who lived w/o males, the set-up of the house, etc. He frequently got in through unlocked doors/windows. He has been caught.:clap:
 
Thanks for the clarification on the dog...I guess my crime-solving approach is usually to take the simplest, most obvious route...a stranger drives the friend home from the casino (dumb idea) and then Brianna goes missing that same night. That's just too much of a coincidence for me, at least at this point, and the fact that the man hasn't come forward only adds more suspicion.

I do think there is more to this story here about the friend just going up to a stranger and asking for a ride...maybe they were talking in the casino previously? My niece is around their ages and there's no way she would go up to a 45 year old stranger. The friend couldn't get a cab in Las Vegas...that is almost laughable, if this wasn't so sad.
 
Here is a video interview with her friend whom she was staying with....K.T. and then the other friend who lived there as well.

You can forward through the video to around 2:50 and then just watch and listen until atleast 3:12.....after watching it again and again, I am sure that they are saying that IAN is the driver of the SUV on surveilance.

http://tiny.cc/5s6yC

The reporter says they are looking for the man driving this vehicle whom gave the girls a ride home after the party. Police have surveilance video of the man, then K.T. says,

yeah thats a good friend of mine IAN he gave us a ride home so we wouldn't have to get a cab or anything, but no he is harmless.

(She kinda seems confused or nervous as she talks about him.)

Then the news person says even while K.T. insisted the person that drove them home was harmless, police say they are still interested in talking to the driver of the SUV.


Kel.....
I am sure they are saying or implying in this video that Ian is the driver of the SUV....yalls opinion......???????
 
I would like to know if any of the girls in the house had a "Boyfriend" stay the night, or if there is a "boyfriend" who generally stays the night. I keep feeling like this is an "inside job", not a stranger abduction.

The dog did not bark, which tells me the dog either didn't hear (unlikely) an intruder, or there was no "intruder" as far as the dog was concerned, meaning that it was a person known to the dog, or someone already in the home. I also agree that it doesn't seem to make sense that blood was found on the pillow, the blanket was found in the kitchen, and the stuffed bear is missing, but Brianna's shoes, purse and cell phone were still there.

I keep feeling like someone hurt/raped Brianna in the home and possibly killed her, and removed the bear with her or her body, because it held evidence, and the blood on the pillow was missed. The blanket in the kitchen doesn't make much sense to me. But I thought if someone did hurt Brianna, maybe she was then taken into the kitchen to clean off some of the blood, but nothing has been reported about blood found on the blanket.

I REALLY hope this beautiful young woman, Brianna is found safe, but I don't feel good about this one at all.
