Brianna Denison - Some might say she was just another beautiful Nineteen year-old California college girl enjoying a school break in Reno, Nevada. Full of laughter pretty blue eye's and brandishing a gorgeous smile...
Though friends would later remark online that she was sort of shy.
And it was just another night in Reno after recent snowfalls the weather had cleared a little.
After hug's and good nights all around Brianna fell asleep on her buddies couch with a blanket and a teddy bear.
Soon tragedy would strike -Sometime in the middle of the night she was abducted right out of her friends house as they all slept.
The next morning as dawn broke Brianna was gone...
Most of her possessions and warm clothing was still there but Brianna was gone.
A small amount of blood and saliva was all that was found at the scene.
By noon the news began to hit the airwaves and internet, and a miracle began to occur the local community poured out to help any way they could, the local news media covered every detail, and Brianna's story exploded on the internet.
It's obviously a whole new world of near instant communication, and nearly real time information out there and as we began to research the story that morning we found pictures, addresses, crime reports, sexual offender information, Find Brianna Blogs(1)(2), facebook profiles and Brianna sites(3)(4), myspace pages, local media information ton's of information all somehow linked to what would become Brianna's story...
Brianna's story took shape as thousands of people all over the U.S.A took interest and made sure that this story was going to stay on page one real world and Cyber world and not forgotten on a local newspapers third page.
Thousands of people online had fallen in love with this little blue-eyed firecracker and in some sense we gathered around her story determined to solve the mystery and get Brianna home safely and to catch the perpetrator of this evil deed.
The story came and went on the big guns such as Fox news, But the local media such as the Reno Gazette stayed on the story nearly every day for a month without let up.
The Internet buzzed with information, speculation, and most of all real concern.
The ground and door to door searches were well organized went on nearly everyday during the height of winter.
Then they found a body...
We waited and prayed...

I live all the way in Pennsylvania, but I, too, was gripped by this case, to the point where I've spent much of my time on the computer searching for updates and clues as to who may have done this. Your writing is very succinct and well put. While people, especially women, are victimized every day, very rarely do we hear of one who made it home safely onlt to meet harm. Thank you for your insight.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much! Comments like that make it worth it!
ReplyDeleteI fear this guy is a bad one and escalating, and he picks on small petite girls.
They need to scream, kick, gouge,if necessary bite it off! whatever they can do he is a very dangerous predator.
Stay safe, Bob
