You are right and national statistics back you up. The vast majority of kidnap/rape victims who survive are let go within a few hours, and most kidnap/rape/murder victims are killed within 3 hours of the abduction.

But this is not always the case

This story out of Alabama is a case in point. Roy Stillwell, a long haul trucker, kept his victim alive for 4 days. On the 4th day she managed to signal for help, it is unlikely she would have seen a fifth.

“Roy Stillwell was arrested last month after the woman was found tied up and screaming for help at a Loxley truck stop”

“During a preliminary hearing, investigators testified Stillwell abducted the woman December 8th in Montgomery, choked her unconscious, cut her clothes off, tied her up, raped and sodomized her almost a dozen times over four days.”

“For four days, Stillwell drove from state to state with the woman tied up in the back of his truck. As they approached Alabama, investigator's say the woman began to fear for her life because of something Stillwell said, according to Dixon, "It was referring to driving near water and there was a reason they were driving near water which would be upcoming past Loxley." [/*]Thanks. I hope you're right, but it's been more than 4 days. Way too long. :chicken:

I would contact the Reno NV Police Dept and ask them. I have not seen where you could make donations or send them to.

Does anyone find these snippets from a news story about the Brianna Denison case as disturbing as I do?

Students want more cameras, lights.
TAMMY KRIKORIAN
RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
Posted: 2/6/2008

“The forum, led by Associated Students of the University of Nevada President Sarah Ragsdale, gave students information on campus security efforts and heard student concerns and suggestions following recent reports of four assaults on or near campus, including the Jan. 20 abduction of Brianna Denison.”

“Others complained of dim lighting in the Whalen parking garage, where a woman reported being raped on Oct. 22, behind the Lombardi Recreation Center and in neighborhoods surrounding campus.”

Responding to a student, Shannon Ellis, vice president of student services, said no cameras would be installed in parking garages. UNR police Officer Eric James said emergency buttons are available on every floor of every parking structure.

"I had no idea those were even there," one student said.

Officials said cameras on campus are minimal because it was a privacy issue for some students in earlier years.

"You might need to do another poll," senior Elisa Hanna said, saying students might be willing to sacrifice some privacy in light of recent events.”

These comments come from the same University officials who keep insisting they have a safe campus.

Safe?

Hello, there were 4 sex crimes against students in as many months, on or near, this campus.

They have emergency call boxes. Big deal! Does anyone really think a mugger or rapist is going to attack you when you are in arms reach of a safety box? They are great for reporting a crime AFTER the fact, but useless in stopping one.

Why are there so few surveillance cameras on or near this campus? Well it seems they took a survey and the students objected to them. I guess they were more worried about being seen lighting up a big fatty then getting mugged or raped. As you can see one student suggested that maybe the University should re-survey the students to see if their views have changed.

The Reno Police Department will teach residents how to keep themselves and their homes safe at a seminar of Friday, Feb. 15 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Double Diamond Room in the museum at Rancho San Rafael Park.

Near-by residents have expressed concern for their safety since the kidnapping of 19 year-old Brianna Denison from a home near the University of Nevada.

Officers say they will go over crime prevention techniques and teach residents what to do if they find themselves in an unsafe situation. They will also describe how to make your home safer through lighting, door and window lights and even landscaping that can deter criminals.

This is extremely frustrating for everyone. :(

But yes she is somewhere and people are not giving up. You cannot drive by more than a few houses without seeing a sign of Bri in a yard and her missing posters are still in many business windows. There are new articles about the search and what LE is doing almost daily in our local news- online and on TV. We talk about her on here even if it to express frustration that nothing new is happening. People are not going to forget Bri nor will they give up until she is found.

I believe Reno is a difficult area to search because there are so many mountains. We are also very close to California (about 20 minutes from the border) near Truckee. I do not know how far out of town people have been searching but locally the volunteer search organizers have been sending teams to go over areas previously searched because the weather is clearing up. I hope we do not have to wait until spring/summer to find her.

News Now-KOLO 8
Last Updated: 6:13 PM Feb 13, 2008
Reporter: Auburn Hutton

It's been nearly a month since 19-year-old Brianna Denison disappeared...but police, her family, and the community continue to search for the missing woman. For other local families, it's been 20 or more years since one of their loved ones went missing...but today, those cases also remain unsolved.

An 11-year old girl named Jennifer Martin mysteriously disappeared from her Lemmon Valley neighborhood back in 1987. While her face may not be as recognizable to you as Brianna Denison's is...Jennifer's family has not forgotten.

Jennifer's older sister, Colleen, says she now believes Jennifer is dead. But like Brianna's family, who continues to search for the missing co-ed, Colleen says she was long convinced her sister would still be found alive. She says it took her years before she could call Jennifer's case a recovery.

"Finally I was able to convince myself that she most likely was murdered and would not be coming home," said Colleen Martin.

Jennifer Martin vanished after walking to a 7-11 store within just feet of her Lemmon Valley home. Colleen says police and volunteers quit their search for her sister after only a week.

"On horseback and on ATV's and just walking through sagebrush and everywhere they were allowed to go searching for her. But it wasn't anything that was organized," said Martin.

Brianna's search team is still looking for the missing woman, even a month after she disappeared. The entire community has stepped in...and forensics specialists are sorting through DNA samples, hoping to find more clues. Colleen says 20 years ago, none of this was possible.

"We had to actually go into the print shops and go everywhere and say 'we need these posters. She was abducted. We need it this way and oh by the way, can you do it for free?' Most were generous and did it for free, but nothing like what's going on with Brianna. It's so different."

Still, Colleen wears a "Bring Bri Back" bracelet in support of Brianna's family, saying she understands their pain. She says it hurts too much to get personally involved in the Brianna search, but she prays for Bri's family, and for her missing sister, each and everyday.

"Don't give up hope. You can always hope. You can always hope," said Connie.

Colleen says she still keeps in touch with local police and sheriff's investigators, just in case there's a development in the case. Whenever another kidnapping takes place, she says it's a reminder that opens up her old wounds.

Colleen says media coverage has changed as well. Her sister's disappearance mostly stayed only in the local news. After Jennifer disappeared, Colleen and her family contacted "America's Most Wanted," but they weren't all that interested in the story. Only after the local community petitioned heavily, did the show finally pick up the piece.

Colleen says in the case of Brianna Denison, the woman's family continues to head up the search effort...and she says she stands by their decision to stay brave and optimistic.

Snippet from this news story;

"But the sheriff’s department shouldn’t have to be placed in a situation where it’s “hired” by individual interests. What does that mean for the lower-profile cases of missing persons—missing drug addicts, prostitutes, the homeless and mentally ill? Do their cases sink to the bottom of a file while the prettier, better educated, more loved people rise to the top?'

The answer to this question is, Yes they do.

Has anyone ever heard of HEATHER JANELLE LEWIS?

Heather went missing on Apr 4, 2003 from Ely, Nevada.

Two things have plagued her case, (1) She is still listed as a endangered runaway even though what little is known about her case points to the fact she may never have left Ely at all.(2) The last mention of her in the press was two years ago.

It is not that her parents have not tried, in fact they maintain what is for the most part a lonely vigil at her MySpace page.

Last Nov. I saw that Heather was going to turn 18. I contacted her folks and asked them if they would like me to put together a MySpace message for Heather. Her mother replied and said yes, she was overjoyed that someone remembered her daughter.

Outside her family and friends; no one else in Nevada did.

The last article I read about the searches said that the headquarters were moving from Circus Circus to St. Mary's Hospital which is just a block or two away. So I believe they are still going on but I do not know who is running it. It has been the Laura Recovery Center but I believe that was until the 10th. Hopefully they have been able to extend their stay. I plan to go down there this weekend to search again so I will post after I do. The weather is still staying nice and there has not been any more snow. So let's hope it stays that way!!

"Police have cordoned off about two acres as a crime scene in a field where the body of a woman was found this afternoon. But they are declining to speculate whether the body was that of missing 19-year-old college student Brianna Denison.

Reno police spokesman Steve Frady says the body was found about noon in the brush-covered field on the city's south side near a light industrial area just east of U.S. Highway 395.

About 45 law enforcement and crime lab personnel, including an FBI agent, are processing the scene and securing the perimeter. Frady says the time and cause of death will be determined by an autopsy. He says they have "no ID, not even a tentative ID."

Frady says they don't know how long the body has been there and no estimate on age. Denison was abducted January 20th by a serial rapist linked by DNA to a string of attacks near the University of Nevada, Reno campus......"

"How fast a body left in the open breaks down — key to establishing when a person was killed — depends heavily on temperature, moisture and other environmental factors, Williams said. In relatively dry, cold conditions, like those found in these mountains in the winter, it can take months for a body to decompose to skeletal remains."

Thank you.

She went missing from the UNR area which is downtown Reno. This body was found in South Meadows which is about a 10-15 minute drive from downtown.

This is a truly shocking location for a body to be found especially with all of the searches. (Not to mention how many businesses are nearby.. it's been described as industrial which is true but it is also a newer area. Only in recent years have they developed this part of town). I do not know for certain that this area has been searched but I would have to believe it was because the searches were covering so many areas many that were further than this. This was basically right under our noses and that upsets me terribly. Also I work about 5-7 minutes from South Meadows and there is not that much snow that it would've been covered her until now. In the mountains maybe but on the valley floor there is hardly any snow left.

If this is Bri, I cannot imagine her being there this whole time.... but it doesn't make sense that someone would keep her then put her there. And why there? This was a place where she would clearly be found yet there areas where she would most likely never been found (like the mountains or an old mine shaft). I have so many more questions now but definitely feel the suspect is still in Reno. I think if he had left town, he would have put her somewhere out of town on his way.

Everyone seems very sad tonight around town. Although this outcome could not come as a surprise, it does not seem to lessen the pain everyone is feeling. :(

I have learned through these boards that Reno is thought to be a higher crime area. Someone had posted statistics that were honestly surprising to me. We have only 10-12 murders a year on average and with our population that is not a huge rate but I'm learning it is all relative to what you are used to. Having grown up here (I am 28 years old) I always felt safe. As with all cities there are bad areas but you stay out of them. We could go to the store at night or out with friends and feel safe. Now no one feels safe. To think someone like this is here in Reno is still hard to believe. Brazen is a good word to describe his actions and it is frightening!

Prostitution is not legal in Reno. It is legal in certain counties of Nevada but not in Washoe county (or Clark county where Vegas is). However, if you drive to the rural areas of Nevada you can find legalized prostitution.

Probably no body ID before Saturday
KRISTIN LARSEN
RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
Posted: 2/15/2008

Authorities likely won’t positively confirm the identity of the woman found dead in southeast Reno until Saturday at the earliest, Reno Police Department spokesman Steve Frady said.

“It will probably rely on the autopsy,” Frady said of positively identifying the body. “We anticipate the autopsy happening tomorrow, but that is up to the coroner’s office to schedule.”

The body of a woman was found in a vacant, grassy field near Sandhill Road and Double R Boulevard and reported to the police department about 12:13 p.m. Police found the body about six minutes later.

“There are a number of young women that are missing through out the United States,” Frady said. “Until we have a chance to go through the autopsy protocols and determine the cause of death and (make) a positive identification, we can’t speculate on who this may or may not be.”

Oh and I agree someone knows this man!! So many of us keep stating it but it is true. There has been so much local coverage of this case that the details were not likely missed. I am starting to wonder if someone is just afraid to come forward. The sketch looks like many young guys in Reno (like my boyfriend and several of my friends) but the other details MUST stand out to someone as they are so specific. We can't let Bri down- we need to find this man before he does this again.

Right now, I have a horrible feeling this is Brianna. This case has been one of those that got close to my heart and the sadness, disappointment, anger, etc. is overwhelming. My heart aches for her family right now, sitting there wondering if their nightmare has come true. God be with them as they endure the longest night of their lives.

Foxysly you asked the question of CT but maybe I can answer it for you.

From Wikipedia

"Brothels have been tolerated in Nevada since the middle of the 19th century. One brothel in Elko has been in business since 1902. In 1937, a law was enacted to require weekly health checks of all prostitutes. Reno and Las Vegas had red light districts, when Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the suppression of all prostitution near military bases in 1942. "

Prostitution is not currently legal in Reno, but that does not mean it is not prevalent. A quick Google search for Reno will pull up numerous web-sites were escorts advertise their services. Eros Guide/Reno-Tahoe lists 30. Here is a couple of typical ads.

As far as working girls and Brianna's abductor goes I don't think they are going to be of much help. He has been going after Coeds, if he wanted to make working girls disappear it would have been easy to do.

CT said he hates women and she is right. More to the point he wants to take his anger/hatred out on a certain type of women .

I think when he is caught we will find that the catalyst for this rampage was a young woman not much different then Brianna and the other women he has been attacking.

If that's true, he had to know he was entering a home in which young women were sleeping. And unfortunately Brianna wasn't behind a locked door like KT and Jessica.

wandering,
Sandhill road looks like it is a access road. Placed there to help local businesses out. The field looks like it is a commercial lot that has not been developed yet. BTW the body was only 10 feet or so from the side of this road and a few hundred feet from Double R road which looks like a busy road in the daytime, but probably has little traffic on a early Sunday morning.

What might that tell use about this man? That he knows the area, and knows that he would have the time necessary to remove the body from his vehicle without being spotted.

I keep going back to the fact that he may travel to Reno periodically to work. This is a industrial area, could he come to Reno to service one of the businesses in that area?

If instead he is a local then there is a better then even chance he works or worked in the area. Or lives in the upscale community that is close to this area.

You know what worries me this most is the person who did the raping of those other women and took Bri is someone that lives in that area or travels there for business and knows the area very well. This person is sitting back watching the news and laughing...jmo thinking that he is never going to get caught.

I think CT said it better when she said now he has going from a serial rapist to a murder. HE has esclated and now that scares the heck out of me...

This guy is someone's brother, husband, son and nephew. They have to know who he is, but on the other hand of saying that he could be real good of covering up what he does. Like someone who travels to Reno on business on a regular basis. I know I am babbling but just through stuff out there...this of course just mo.

Serial Rapist: A Criminal Profile

From a ABC documentary on Serial Rapist.

“James Perry lived a double life. On the surface, he was a loving husband and father—but for more than five years, the Madison, Wisconsin, construction worker committed dozens of sexual attacks against children and young women.

The man known as the “mall rapist” was finally caught, his massive collection of digitized images and videos provided chilling insight into the mind of a psychopath”

From BEHAVIOR EVIDENCE:
UNDERSTANDING MOTIVES AND DEVELOPING SUSPECTS
IN UNSOLVED SERIAL RAPES THROUGH
BEHAVIORAL PROFILING TECHNIQUES
by Brent E. Turvey, MS
June, 1996

“By definition, the serial rapist is a successful criminal because law enforcement fails to connect his crimes, fails to understand his motives, and subsequently fails to identify and apprehend him. It has been demonstrated that the serial rapist, as a career sex offender, develops over time any number of means for keeping his identity unknown, and evading detection by law enforcement (Hazelwood[21]).

The serial rapist knows how to position himself for rape activity, engage in rape activity, and continue to rape successfully, without any concern that law enforcement will understand, identify, and apprehend him. This is because his fantasy motive is a personal dynamic, and because his MO is progressively flexible. The occurrence of these traits in a single offender, who is committing multiple rapes, gives rise to the need for relevant, objective forensic tools specifically designed to assist in the execution of investigations into rapes for which their are no suspects, and for which the motive is not understood by law enforcement.

Behavior profiling can be one such forensic tool. It is, however, not the only forensic tool that should be used in the course of an investigation into a series of unsolved rapes. Any behavioral profile is only as good as the lab that collected and examined the physical evidence, and only as effective as the investigators charged with acting on, and extrapolating from, information provided by the behavioral profile. Additionally, a behavioral profile cannot compensate for a lack of investigative skill, as it requires investigative skill to compile and implement. It does not promise psychic answers, and it cannot guarantee the complete and positive identification of specific suspects. It's primary roles are to assist the investigator with the development of potential suspects, show insight into offender motives, focus investigative strategy, and finally assist with offender prosecution.”

In order for him to have gotten Brianna out of the home where she was sleeping -- either he had to be living *very* close by, and he simply walked her to his place, or he had a vehicle parked nearby. If he had a vehicle there, I tend to think that he may have followed Brianna and friends from the casino.

The police have been going over the details of the suspect again in the press conference. Very specifically asking people to look at everyone they know.

They also said:

They feel he lives in the UNR or NW area but may work in the SE (S. Meadows area).

Manner of death is officially strangulation. There will be further tests.

They feel body was there more than a week.

Area where she was found had high weeds which could have helped to hide her.

A reporter asked about cameras on the buildings and they are looking at that with the help of FBI. Businesses have been volunteering their video.

Officials found other items of evidence in the field but would not disclose what.

butterfly28

02-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Family was notified late this morning.

Autopsy complete but toxicology and other tests not complete.

They confirmed they still feel this is the work of a serial rapist. They feel his behavior had to have changed in the past month or 2 and it should be clear to someone.

They have no doubt he will be caught. They believe he is still in local area (however they say if someone you know has left town recently be aware).

They will not say whether she was sexually assaulted but feel with the circumstances that this was a sexually motivated crime.

Most likely someone who lives and works in NW or UNR area and knows area well.

They asked that people still keep their eyes open for the bear or anything that may be linked.

Tips have come in from people who work in the SE part of town who have seem suspicious things but still ask people pay attention to the NW.

They will not say whether she was found in the same clothing for obvious reasons.

LE reminding people to lock their doors and pay attention to their gut instincts.

They are worried his is still out there and that someone else will get hurt.

They will not guess as to whether she was strangled where she was abducted because they do not know. They would not say where they feel the blood came from on the couch.

They said they are going to review whether the area has been searched and said the volunteers of the community searched many, many miles and did a great job.

Look out for people who have changed their appearance recently.

They again reiterated that he will be found and they are on a hunt now. They want to keep the pressure on and are asking for help on this "community issue".

They just left the family's house. The family would like to thank the community and volunteers and ask the community to hang a blue ribbon until the is laid to rest.

They ended stating that if you think you MAY be a victim please come forward.

University’s heart goes out to the Denison family
Story by: University Communications
2/16/2008

Dear Colleagues:

Today we learned of the loss of Brianna Denison. Our hearts go out to her family and those who came to know her through the search during the past month. Reno police have confirmed that the body found in South Reno today (Friday) was that of the 19-year-old Reno native who had been missing since Jan. 20.
This news is a tragedy. We are filled with sympathy for the Denison family and Brianna’s friends, many of whom are UNR students. Today is a time when I ask that everyone at our University direct their thoughts and prayers to those affected by this loss.

The University is making available free, professional and confidential counseling services to help graduate and undergraduate students who might need assistance dealing with this tragedy. To access these services, students may visit the counseling office located in Room 202 of the Thompson Building, just south of Getchell Library, or by calling (775) 784-4648 for information or an appointment. After 5 p.m. on Friday and through the President’s Day weekend, individuals can access counseling via the service’s after-hours phone number, (775) 544-0492.

This news also reminds us to continue to be vigilant in regards to personal safety. University Police advise that you remain aware of your surroundings and avoid situations that put you at risk, such as walking alone at night or leaving doors and windows unlocked. They also ask that anyone witnessing a suspicious person or activity call 911
.
Please be safe and please look out for the safety of your friends and colleagues. This is the time for our campus to come together as a community and to look out for one another.

Milton Glick
University President

For Brianna, and her family and friends

Here's an updated article ~

"Autopsy results confirm that body is that of missing teen Brianna Denison"

Reno Police confirm that the body found Friday in South Reno is that of missing Reno teen Brianna Denison.

A man walking in the area of Double R Boulevard and Sandhill came across the body Friday just after noon and called police.

Denison went missing early on January 20 from a home on Mackay Court near the University of Nevada.

Police say that Denison was strangled to death, and the crime was sexually motivated. They say her body had been in South Reno for at least a week, and they have found other evidence in that area.

Police say they believe Denison's kidnapper and murderer is still in the Reno area. They also believe he is a serial rapist. Police found DNA evidence at the scene of the crime that they say links the suspect to other sexual assaults near the UNR campus.

They describe the suspect as white man with light brown/dirty blonde hair. He is 5'8'' to 5' 10'' with a slender to medium build. The victim said the suspect was wearing a dark hooded pull over sweat shirt with no zippers or markings, athletic type nylon silver sweat pants with black stripes, and white tennis shoes.

Police are also looking for an extended cab pick-up truck or SUV with an interior dome light above the windshield. The vehicle is tall enough that it requires a step up to gain entry, but that step is not an added "aftermarket" step. There is a floor-mounted console described as "fairly skinny" that opens in front, and the radio has blue and red LED read-out. The vehicle also has cloth seats and an automatic transmission. There was a baby shoe on the front seat floor board, and 8 ½" x 11" white pieces of paper with typing on the floor board of the front seat.

If you have any information, call the 24 hour tip line at 745-3521 or Secret Witness at 322-4900.

I am very glad that I didn't see any of those posts. It amazes me how some people continually look for something bad about a victim, no matter the situation.

I do hope LE can catch this POS soon, especially since he's now escalated his crimes to include murder.

Yeah, with so many attacks occuring in such a short time he could easily grab another girl before he's caught. This guy is about as dangerous as it gets.

I was kind of shocked reading those posts, it was so reminiscent of the Natalee Holloway case, casting doubt and suspicion on friends, looking for coded messages in pleas that Brianna stay safe and things like that, its a weird mindset.

Very sad for her family but at least they know what happened and it seems likely that this guy will eventually be caught since they have his DNA.

I live about 3 hours from Reno, but I will be hanging a blue ribbon on my front gate in a few minutes. I am also putting a blue ribbon on my blog for her. I think everyone should hang a blue ribbon somewhere today for Brianna and her family.

I stopped reading the Natalee Holloway forum because of the posters who so completely believe that she caused her own disappearance and who so completely believe that Joram could never do anything to harm anyone. Ugh. There are other forums that I stop reading as well, because of the insane "blame the victim" attitude...

My heart goes out to Brianna's family and friends. And I do have a blue ribbon hanging from my fence now, as well as one on my blog... The one on the blog will stay there as long as the blog is there. The one on my fence will stay as long as mother nature lets it hang there.

Another Martyr for Murder.

Stop the murder; stop the madness.

Stop the killing of innocent young women.

How? I don't know.

Law Enforcement can't seem to deter
the every-time-we-turn incidents of
murdered young woman.

Now if any ONE of the candidates in this
never-ending runup to the ELECTION
would put this problem on his/her Platform
I might be inclined to listen.

It seems nobody cares.

Why does a serial rapist escalate to murder?

How does he escape apprehension?

It defies my understanding.
It fills me with despair.
My heart cries for Brianna, her family, her friends.

This psycho needs to be caught asap, before he does it again.
If she was only there a week, that means that he kept her somewhere.
Maybe wife and baby are gone and that’s what set him off.

The news said she was strangled, so I'm thinking maybe he's a serial rapist who has escalated to murder now. What scares me is the previous attacks were Nov. 13, Dec. 16 and Brianna's was on Jan. 20 ~ so LE needs to find him before he gets the urge to commit a February crime.

Brianna was in Nevada. Jessie Davis was found in Ohio, in the summer, badly decomposed because of the heat. The thought was it was too bad it wasn't snowing there (in Ohio) to prevent the decomposition. :)

It is possible since they did not elaborate on how long they ago they believe she died. But they did say at least week so that could mean she has been there since right after her disappearance. :shrug:

While I never blame the victim in a missing person case, I think it is fair to ask the question; Did anything happen or take place just before they vanished, that sheds insight into what may have happened?

What do the following young women have in common?

Deidre Harm, Imette St. Guillen, Michelle Gardner-Quinn, Kelly Nolan, Stepha Henry, Emily Sander, and Brianna Denison.

The answer is twofold; all were out drinking with friends before they disappeared, and all are murder victims. Brianna’s case is extra heart wrenching because unlike the others she made it home safe.

You can never hope to understand what may have happened to a missing person if you do so in a vacuum.

Sometimes what you find out is disturbing; drinking, drugs, prostitution, a abusive relationship or child abuse. But if you shy away from discussing it because it is disturbing, you force yourself to ignore the very information that may give you answers.

We went on at some length here over the fact that the initial news reports of what happened the night of the 19th/morning of the 20th did not seem to add up.

We soon learned the reason for that, and as soon as we did, everything else fell into place. It was dropped at that point and the good peeps here moved on to discussing who the person who took Brianna could be and why it was so difficult for the police to catch him.

A few people did unfairly point fingers at KT & Jessica, questioning if they were someway involved with Bri’s disappearance, but most confined themselves to the statement about not drinking. Time, and the facts have proven those people to be correct.

I think CT said it better when she said now he has going from a serial rapist to a murder. HE has esclated and now that scares the heck out of me...

This guy is someone's brother, husband, son and nephew. They have to know who he is, but on the other hand of saying that he could be real good of covering up what he does. Like someone who travels to Reno on business on a regular basis. I know I am babbling but just through stuff out there...this of course just mo. [/*]

I disagree. I believe he will get caught. I just think it may take awhile and unfortunatly.. more victims. He is esculating.

Understanding the victim to better understand the crime is true up to a point but millions of women, young and old, go out drinking with their friends, out to parties and bars and only a tiny handful of them end up dead.

So, as a preventative tool, the cases of these young women aren't terribly instructive as far how not to be murdered unless we tell them not to go out, or drink, or get drunk which to me is neither realistic nor fair.

I don't want to beat a dead horse but I can tell you for a fact that the families of missing people are never reluctant to talk about ALL aspects of a missing loved-ones case.

Friends on the other hand frequently shy away for telling both the police and the family everything they know.
It can sometimes take weeks, even months, to gain the type of relationship that allows you to get 100% truthful answers to the hard questions
