Police keep hope alive in Denison case
http://www.keyt.com/news/local/19265014.html
Police in Reno, Nevada continue to investigate the rape and murder of Santa Barbara City College student Brianna Denison. Authorities say they're following up on leads, but confirm the amount of tips coming in has dwindled.

I read a post on WS that a rape occurred in a hospital parking lot in Reno around May 20 but could not find any reference to it on google, and it wasn't picked up for discussion on the WS board. Does anybody know anything about this?
I am sooooooooooooo suffering from withdrawal from the long weekend w/o this board.

I'm not here to post about the case because someone here seems to have issues with my views about it.But I still follow the case and discuss it with a few people who live in the Reno area.
Apparently some of Brianna's friends are organizing a flag football event to publicize the case so someone can google that and post a link.If you live in the area of Reno you can participate. [/*]
Atlantis, all views should be welcome here. This is a message board and all case aspects can be discussed. I'm regretful that you think your views are unwelcome here. I'd like to know what they are. We never know what good idea may spark forward movement in the case or a better understanding of it. :seeya:

I couldn't find any report of another assault and it's not on the Reno PD site either...
There was news of assault/murder in *Reno County* ...in Kansas. Maybe that's what the poster was referring to.

Hi Politigal, I just went back to find the WS post:
http://www.ktnv.com/global/story.asp?s=8350163
"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."
This was in Vegas, not Reno--sorry for my mistake. I wonder if it could be the same perp in a new locale.

Interesting! A little younger than thought, but that may not mean anything. And the part about hoping the police don't think he has a real gun - they always have to assume he has a "real" gun, it would be silly not to.

Apparently his fake gun resembles one carried by the alleged perp in an October attack in Reno.
I hope they do dna testing on him to see if he matches any of the other Reno attacks, particularly Brianna's..... [/*]

Come to think of it, they may already have his DNA since the roommate turned him in - there must be something in the apartment, or even on the journal that would provide his DNA.

I am very interested in seeing what becomes of this guy. I highlighted his about me section of his myspace so it could be read, and it says he works with horses and spends the winters in LV. Looks as though his last log in was a year ago, but it just makes me wonder. The Briana POS is known to have a "farmer's tan" so to speak as if he works outside. We also know he has a goatee. ALSO...I read one of the above statements that said something about him shooting a porn movie?? I didn't see a link so I didn't quote it, but that could explain the "shaved" parts if it turns out to be legit.....????

Lots of interesting things on his myspace - dark blond/brownish hair, 5'9", 165 lbs..muscular, likes to work out, do a lot of outdoor stuff - hunting, fishing, riding horses, works on a dude ranch and trains horses in the summer, sometimes 16-18 hours a day (yep, farmer's tan fits), vacations in Las Vegas in the winter, though that summer, 2007, said he was in Vegas and was considering making it his permanent home but had decided not to. Interestingly, he says "if you think you can impress me because you have a nice body, big t*ts, or a nice a**, you're wrong by a longshot - I can get laid any time of day by some ditz" - goes on to say he's looking for a lasting, serious relationship and likes older women, then goes on to say he's off the market, he found his true love - a 42 year old woman who left a comment. Still confused though why it says he's 27 and the news stories say he's 19.

It is definitely him - I can tell by the picture he has posted there - it's him, just confused whether he lied on his myspace (because he likes older women) or if LE got his age wrong, which I HIGHLY doubt.

Yes I did and that was my response too LOL!!! I also found that strange. Why would he be rooming with this guy if he's still married?? Bc he evidentally isn't married anymore, and possible DID have a child with her?? Like I said....merely speculations of course, but very interesting. I can only hope they are presently working on comparing the dna
But about the age thing,... yes, many people lie about their age when they create them for various reasons. That's really common. I only know, bc I live on myspace half the time, lol. Many do it just to keep from giving out their actual date of birth though, bc their are a lot of hackers on the site....;)

I got the impression from his page that he's divorced or separated, looking for true love and he's a father, or maybe never married the mother of his child but says he's a proud parent- so maybe a baby.......it IS quite odd that he was rooming with this guy - that was quite a page! LOLOL Not that I minded seeing it of course. hahahaha, just not quite exactly what I'd have expected.

Ahhhh, he may have simply lied on his page then. I did have a myspace, but when I was following the leah hickman case, I clicked on her sister's page from her friends list and within 3 hours, my friends were emailing me saying random porn was being sent out from my myspace name.

It does seem to be him - and yep, his myspace said he grew up in Montana - interesting that he stole his grandfather's PICKUP TRUCK. I really do hope, I'm sure they are, comparing DNA, because they may very possibly have Bri's killer in custody - right height and weight, hair color, goatee, farmer's tan and most likely drives a pickup truck,if not always, at least from time to time - and he's a "proud father." The pieces sure fit and it sure would be fantastic to have her killer in custody. :::fingers crossed::: 19 is really younger than the suspect description, but I don't put a lot of stock in the age they gave, since the victim who gave the description didn't even see his face.........and he looks older than 19 also.

Very good point! Odd that on his myspace page, he'd finally found true love with a 42 year old woman - but the article I just posted here said he was caught shoplifting at Best Buy with his 17 year old girlfriend. Hmmmmmmm...strange. of course, that myspace was in 8/07, things could've changed since then. It sounds like this guy's been in trouble all his life. It makes you wonder what other attacks he's committed where he DIDN'T get caught - I highly doubt this is his first rape.

I also find it interesting that this guy's MO involves parking garages. The Oct. and Nov. Reno attacks were in parking garages and the Dec. victim was abducted from a parking lot IIRC. I believe a lot of assaults happen in parking garages so it may not mean much. However, it certainly seems like an environment this perp is comfortable in.

Yep! It's very frightening if he's not related to Bri's case or the rape a couple weeks ago to think there are/were THREE of these freaks running around that area? I think, though, if not related to Bri's case, they're going to find this attack is just the tip of the iceberg on this guy, IMO.

I wish the public would put pressure on LE to release information but I do not know how to put pressure on them.... any ideas (you guys always have amazing ideas!!)? I will gladly do what I can. [/*][/QUOTE]
You must be really frustrated, I know I would be if I lived there. It is NOT fair to just leave the women there in fear and wondering - If this guy, Bri's killer and the attack a couple weeks ago are all separate, that is much more frightening than if it's all the work of one person and if LE has any common sense, they would know that certainly doesn't do much for Reno public relations either. If they don't have a darned good reason for being this silent, then I don't know WTH they're thinking. :confused: I'm useless as to ideas on how to pressure them, other than circulating a petition demanding more info, although that's a catch-22 if they really DO have a reason for being this silent - but the very least they could do is publicly state "we have a reason for staying silent"! :flamemad:

I have gotten a couple of emails from one of the detectives...
He answered a few of my questions:
1) the assault at 900 S Meadows is *definitely* not linked to Brianna's case
2) the November victim (at 401 College) had just walked home to her apartment there - from the University - when she was attacked
3) Police are not releasing which door they believe Brianna was removed from at 1395 Mackay
4) Police are not releasing info on whether the panties found with Brianna were tied in any type of knot
5) Police do not believe that releasing the names of the male residents at Mackay would help the case
6) Police have found *no* link between the victims

That was interesting! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I did not have a good feeling it was the same person. So the answer is there are at least 2 in the area that LE knows of. I don't want to even think about those we have no idea about or those who just have the thought to hurt others but haven't acted on it. What a sad world we are living in.
But looking at the bright side and trying to stay positive, that was great of LE to answer your email and provide information. I sill want to believe they have more information then they are letting on and I know they are still diligently working on these cases. Did they respond quickly?

But I was thinking tonight...
I know that the man named Ian that gave one of the girls a ride home that night was cleared.
But, I wonder if Police have checked to see if Ian has a roommate, or someone living with him, that he could have told about the girl - being alone, being possibly intoxicated, and where he dropped her off at....
I've looked at various people searches and found at least 27 Ian's in Reno...1 even resides at 401 College.....

Ohhhhhhhh good point! I like the way you think :beer: She said he chastized her about picking up a ride with a stranger - logically, if he lived with someone he would go home and say "geez, I can't believe this girl I just gave a ride to, drunk and picking up rides with strangers." I'd have never thought of that.

Hi,
Ian was not the stranger that Jessica got a ride home with. He was the friend who gave Brianna and KT a ride home.
I don't think the name of the man who gave Jessica a ride was ever released to the press.

Just read some interesting things: Trost's roommate said it is difficult to turn in someone you LOVE. So I guess he was more than a roommate?

These are some very good ideas.
Butterfly, I think you and all your friends/family in Reno should start writing LE for updates. Since they seem willing to answer questions, maybe if they hear from enough "concerned citizens," they will hold a press conference or at least let you know if you should be on lock-down.

BTW you guys have done some really good sleuthing in the last couple of days. I don’t know if your Las Vegas rapist is our guy but nothing I have seen here rules him out and a number of things point in his direction.
I have been busy on another thread here as well as doing a profile for ForeverSearching. FS asked me to look at the case of 16 year old Amy Fitzpatrick who went missing 1/1/08 on the coast of Spain. Sadly I think there is a good chance Amy was murdered.

It is odd that a statement hasn't been released if he's NOT a suspect in Bri's case. How long would it take to do a DNA comparison test? I know some DNA results take a long time to get back -- but then, I know very little about the process. I'd think (perhaps naively) that it would be a pretty simple matter to rule him out based on DNA.
The porno flick / shaved pubic area really seems to fit ... that's the first "logical" reason I've heard for the perp shaving his privates.

ITA - and of course, I would assume his DNA testing would be a STAT rush - but I don't know much about it either, not sure how long it would take - they were pretty quick to say that the S. Meadows attack was definitely not related, so they must've gotten that DNA pretty quickly.

The fact that LE was willing to release this info in an e-mail is even more frustrating to me. Do they believe it isn't newsworthy? Maybe rape and brutalization of women has become so common in Reno it doesn't even make the news?
Both of these perps are especially brutal, one has murdered a young woman and the other tortured and threatened at least one woman....and I think there is a very good chance he would have killed her if not interrupted. Maybe LE doesn't want to highlight the point they have been unable to catch one of these monsters let alone both of them. What about the attack in 2006? At one point they believed it was related to the May assault, so this guy has been free to "do his thing" for 2 years. Is the FBI still involved in Bri's case? Their freedom means the women of Reno have very little...they have to be in fear for their safety 24/7, even in their own homes.

logic- I can't disagree that the system continues to give out slaps on the hand until these people have multiple victims or kill someone. Ask anyone in the mental health field and they will tell you 95% of these perps cannot be rehabilitated...yet they continually let them back out to hurt more people. I personally think this has it's basis in the "blaming the victim" mentality about sexual crimes. Most of the time you will get more time for stealing someone's car then you will if you rape them. It is a wonder that you don't see more vigilante justice when it comes to these freaks.

I agree totally. Sexual perps are known to be unable to be rehabilitated. It makes me want to look at remedies such as surgery or chemical alteration--seriously--but that won't happen in our male-dominated society. Not male-bashing here, not at all--just saying it the way I think it is.

Side note: Mark mentions the POS changed his MO so they didn't yet think all the attacks were related, however DNA proved otherwise since the video aired. This video gives a good view of what the house looked like the night Brianna went missing.

Wow...thx for the video. I had not seen this before & I didn't realize that the glass back door was straight back from the front, thru the kitchen. After viewing this, IMO, the killer definitely took Brianna out that back door, since her blanket was found in the kitchen floor. I noticed in the video that in addition to the 2 male residents (that were in Oakland at the time of Brianna's abduction) that there was another upstairs - female resident who was also gone that night --- her name was Melissa.
Darn I wish I could get last names on the males & and on Melissa.

I don't know whether he came in through the front door or the sliding glass door, although I think the front door was more concealed due to a tree.

It is odd that they can say they're certain, but they must have info they're holding back that makes them sure. ITA about parking in the alley behind the house, where he knew there was less chance of being seen carrying her out.

Yes for certain Go-Tan is the asian man in the picture. As the other man is who the profile belongs to.
Also find it interesting that they are all intertwined with the Kellison circle of friends.
Victim description of perp. does not fit Go-Tan.
Although, again I am going back to my KELLISON feeling...
HE TOLD SOMEONE THAT HE WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN!
IMO - The investigation should focus in on the week prior to Brianna's attack. Looking at EVERY move Kellison made!
Look at every receipt, who he saw, where he went, old school friends he bumped into!

When I looked at his profile before, it was public and he's a pig, IMO - another one with zero respect for women, and a lot of talk about how he drank so much he blacked out the whole weekend one weekend and didn't remember a thing, etc. HEAVY partier and no respect at all for women - the general attitude in his and his buddies' comments was we're all tramps to be used. Odd that he has on there "Mood: Anxious."

Also find it interesting that they are all intertwined with the Kellison circle of friends.
Victim description of perp. does not fit Go-Tan.
Although, again I am going back to my KELLISON feeling...
HE TOLD SOMEONE THAT HE WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN!

MY HEART IS POUNDING ON THIS ONE...
I will explain....
In 2000 IGT released the Pink Panther Gaming Machine.
I read about it months back. It always did interest me.
*Was there a release party?
*Promotional Items?
*Did someone from the IGT project's significant other buy the Pink Panther panties as a joke or surprise for hard working sig. other.
So again we talk about IGT, MK, the "intertwined" computer science field etc.
*Again I go back to reading about the Pink Panther IGT project and WHO's NAME is on the project but one of the 2 of
MK's partners from
the senior project...
*I Will not post the name but here is the link.
***NOTE WORTHY..THIS IS A COMMON NAME.. and may not be the same person, but very INTERESTING!
Tell me what you all think?

The above mentioned name Brian Mckay who was a part of the Pink Panther Manufactured Machines by IGT, is a prominent Reno citizen.
My feeling is the Senior Project was worked on by his son, by the same name. As I have found it to be a family name.
This man who worked on the project is 60plus years old and retired from IGT.
Does he even have a son?
Is his son working there?
If he did have a son his son would (possibly) go by the same name as his father. As I understand it is a family name.
All of this I do not know.
The whole thing just baffles me?

I sure hope LE has looked into this. It is a HUGE coincidence if nothing else.
I also wonder how they were able to arrest Go-Tan so quickly...what was their evidence? Had they been "on to" him before? As always, there is a sexual assault WITH an arrest and absolutely no media coverage. Is this guy still in custody? What are they holding him on? Has he admitted or denied the offense? It is frigging unbelievable that the people of Reno allow this lack of information to go on, especially when the victim was a child in this case.
When John Walsh was saying he was shocked there hadn't been an arrest in this case I thought he was being a bit harsh. However, I am beginning to fall on that side of the fence. This game of "I've Got a Secret" with every sexual assault in the city is beginning to wear thin...instead we get articles about the police presence on campus...how bogus. :flamemad:

This isn't a court of law and we are allowed to speculate as long as we don't lie about people. Saying someone may be the son of someone isn't slanderous IMO. To sum up what we know to be true..
-Someone named Alvin Go-tan was arrested for sexually assaulting a 13 y.o.
- Someone named Alvin Go-tan was in the same class as Marc Kellison, who used to live, or presently lives, in the house Bri was abducted from.
-Someone named Alvin Go-tan works/worked at IGT, which is about 250 yards from where Bri's body was found.
-Someone named Brian McKay was in the same class as Kellison and Go-tan...and on the same project team as Kellison.
-Someone named Brian McKay is a big wig at IGT, which made a Pink Panther gaming machine...and employed Go-tan.
-Someone named David Tyson was in the same computer class, posted a pic of himself and Go-tan and also works down the street from where Bri's body was found.
It may be coincidence or mean nothing in regard to this case. However, it is worth discussing.

Notice how the house at 1395 Mackay (where Brianna was abducted) sits on a lot that declines from College Dr. And, notice the *rocks.* IMO, it appears those rocks would have obstructed the view from someone just driving down College St.
IMO, whoever the killer is - most likely came from that drive behind the house, and that's how he saw Brianna.

Looking at the pictures that were sent in of the house where Bri was taken from I am shocked that nobody saw anything at all that night as well. I can't believe whoever this POS is has gotten away with murder and rape and absolutely no witnesses saw him at all and even his family, friends and perhaps SO have not even come forward with any information that we know of. It saddens me so much that Bri's family has had to wait so long for word on who took away sweet Bri. The total lack of LE's public relations has me saddened too, for both Bri's family and the women of Reno who deserve to be kept informed that an extremely dangerous killer/rapist, possibly 2 are on the loose. Hopefully justice will be coming soon. :rose: [/*]
ITA, angeleyes - someone knows something. I think our mind's natural defense mechanism is to disregard when we have a thought like that, "oh, how silly, it couldn't be Joe." Yes, it could be. I can't even imagine what her mother, brother, extended family and friends are going through, with no justice and no word. When LE clams up like this, like in the Leah Hickman case, I can't help but think they have nothing and they're hoping it will just fade into the background. It never will in my mind, I'll be following this case until someday, somehow, the POS is caught and brought to justice.

I've concluded that the sketches can look like any number of perpetrators. This sketch looks like the man arrested for the attempted abduction of the woman walking home AND Edwin Hall, who was already arrested for murdering Kelsey Smith:

I can't find the article on the arrest for the attempted abduction near Reno.

Oh, how sick that a woman was in on this with him! This just goes against nature. Bad enough that a man does it, but have that natural instinct to protect children - normal women, at least. And it sounds like they were responsible for a lot more than they've been charged with yet. SICK.

Regarding Bri I am wondering why LE has not come out and at least told us if they looked into that rapist in Las Vegas, Roy Trost and let us know whether or not there is a link with his DNA to Bri's case. Since he was arrested May 21st I would think the DNA results should be back by now. At least them coming out and saying whether they have eliminated him as a suspect would at least let the public know they are still working hard to find Bri's killer. The total silence from them makes it seem like they are just letting it go cold. The last announcement on the Reno Police Dept. website was on April 4. Why the silence? I can't figure out a good reason for them to not at least talk with the media maybe once a week or so and inform the women of Reno to be on the lookout. It also might help refresh peoples memories too and someone might remember something. They don't necessarily have to give out any new information just be respectful and friendly with the public about how active and determined they are is all and to get awareness out there. I hope to God they have more information than us in the public do and they have their reasons for being quiet but I am losing confidence in how LE is being so quiet and the local citizens must be as well. :flamemad: JMO

I wonder if his pic / audio of his voice / have been shown to the other victim (actually I surmise the answer is yes).
I, too, agree that there's way too much about this guy that is coincidentally the same as the perp of the pre-Bri victim that should mean a closer look at him re: being Bri's killer. DNA tells the tale; maybe they didn't have his, but only DNA from the panties, as someone else suggested.

I'm so happy this waste of flesh is behind bars. When are they going to learn that violent sex offenders DO NOT change? The rape and stabbing of the high school girl was no "he said, she said", it was an extremely violent and premeditated attack. There really is no way a mental health professional can accurately access the risk when the low-life had been in prison for 20 years...what was he basing his opinion on?? These creeps tend to be master manipulators and there is absolutely no way I would try to say someone with a history like this POS's would ever be less than a high risk to reoffend.

Hi everyone!
While it is great the Reno LE has Lange behind bars, I am afraid that they have already determined that he is not linked to Brianna's case. They ran the DNA found in the So. Meadows vic's home prior to arresting him. That DNA did not match the DNA from Brianna's and the other UNR victims’ cases. This is why LE has issued statements saying that there was no forensic evidence linking the two sets of cases. The crime lab compared Lange's DNA with the DNA from the So Meadows crime scene and found a match. This was June 13th the same day he was arrested. Unfortunately, he is not responsible for the attacks around UNR, Bri’s kidnapping and murder.
It is incredibly frustrating to that this guy seems so right to be the perp when he is not. Hopefully, something will break soon before someone else is harmed because there is no way he is going to stop.

Yes, BobbiKinkaid, if you have more links that would be great. Like I mentioned a few post above, do we know the actual "source" of the DNA from Bri's case? Do they have DNA from her body? If not, or if we do not know for sure...to me, it would still be possible. I'm by no means trying to play smarter than LE, of course, but unless the "obvious" was on her body and that being the DNA they compared too, I wouldn't be so certain. We do know there were ALSO other female dna at the scene other than Bri's friend that lived with her. So, to make a long post shorter....the only way that I would rule him out is if there was dna taken from Bri's body from the sexual assault. I think her killer put those underwear there to do exactly what has happened...and that is to throw them off.

Good morning everyone,
I am from Reno and have been following this case very closely as you all have and I have post other info regarding case here as well. As requested, here are two links stating that LE does not believe that they two sets of cases are linked.Both of these are from KTVN
http://www.ktvn.com/Global/story.asp?S=8280787
http://www.krnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8491022
Politgal has stated she received an email from RPD where they stated there is no link.
I did copy both these links directly off this forum and it seems like you are asking me for addition info to support my statements that this is not the guy. The only thing I can offer is my understanding of the two sets of cases and DNA.
So here it goes:
The DNA found in Brianna's case was found at the residence she was taken from. I do not know what it was or where it was found.(LE has not released this info) It was this DNA that linked her case with the 2 previous attacks at UNR and that was made prior to her being found. If the DNA at found at the residence is not the DNA of the man who took Bri then her case would no longer be linked to the UNR Nov. attack and the UNR Dec. Rape. Also, keep in mind that all the info we have regarding this perp comes from the Nov/Dec victims. They are the ones that reported his height, weight ect... including the shave body hair.
Finally, there are several differences between this Lange's crimes and the UNR attacks:
Apparently, Lange knew or had contact with both of his victim's and even learned of one victims plans.
Both women were older, in mid 50's.
He assaulted them for several hours in different rooms in their homes.
He brought clothing for them to put on and posed them.
He made both of them wash after.
He robbed both.
http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080618/NEWS01/806180438/1004/NEWS19
I am sorry guys, since Lange's DNA does not match the DNA recovered from the UNR Nov. attack, the Dec. Rape and DNA recovered from the residence that Brianna was taken from, I do not believe that this is Brianna's killer.
Politigal
06-19-2008, 04:00 PM
changing the subject....
I think what bothers me the most about Brianna's case is that darn baby shoe, that the December victim saw in the killer's vehicle floorboard.....
Knowing that this unstable/deranged cowardly man is possibly a parent or in contact with a child, is really unsettling to me.
BobbiKinkaid
06-19-2008, 05:59 PM
Hi Politigal..I just realized that I mispelled your nic in my previous post. Sorry.
As to the shoe... I agree that it is bothersome. It is the one thing that I wish LE would provide more info on. (if they had it) I mean, what kind of shoe was it. A small bootie type shoe might indicate newborn infant, while, say a larger tennis shoe might point to an older infant or even a very young toddler. Heck, with as much as the victim was going through at the time the size of the shoe could be slightly distorted. I have also wondered, and I am sure this is wishful thinking on my part, that maybe the item was mistaken for a baby shoe. The only thing I can think of though, is a shoe for a doll or stuffed bear. Anyhow, it frustrates me to have so little info on that item but I am sure LE has reason for holding it back. I do hope this guy is not around any children as much as you do, unfortunately though, as we have seen time and time again, when these types of guys get caught, they often have families.

Heck, with as much as the victim was going through at the time the size of the shoe could be slightly distorted. I have also wondered, and I am sure this is wishful thinking on my part, that maybe the item was mistaken for a baby shoe. The only thing I can think of though, is a shoe for a doll or stuffed bear. Anyhow, it frustrates me to have so little info on that item but I am sure LE has reason for holding it back. I do hope this guy is not around any children as much as you do, unfortunately though, as we have seen time and time again, when these types of guys get caught, they often have families. [/*]
I did some wishful thinking too...hoping that maybe the shoe was one of those trinkets that hang on a rearview mirror, or maybe even a funky keychain. I've seen some with little flip flop shoes and even tennis shoes. I went ahead and emailed the detective today to ask if they have any more detail.

Osubbfan, I've said it before, these sexual deviants do NOT change. There is NO chance of rehabilitation. The recidivism rate is high because when released, they do it again.
I really think rapists should be physically altered--turned to euneuchs. But then I'm afraid their anger would turn to other forms of abuse and murder. :(

While it is great the Reno LE has Lange behind bars, I am afraid that they have already determined that he is not linked to Brianna's case. They ran the DNA found in the So. Meadows vic's home prior to arresting him. That DNA did not match the DNA from Brianna's and the other UNR victims’ cases. This is why LE has issued statements saying that there was no forensic evidence linking the two sets of cases. The crime lab compared Lange's DNA with the DNA from the So Meadows crime scene and found a match. This was June 13th the same day he was arrested. Unfortunately, he is not responsible for the attacks around UNR, Bri’s kidnapping and murder.
It is incredibly frustrating to that this guy seems so right to be the perp when he is not. Hopefully, something will break soon before someone else is harmed because there is no way he is going to stop. [/*]
Thanks, Bobbi, and welcome. How weird that there are at least TWO perps who shave body parts before attacking their victims. What school did these creeps go to? It's horrifying because it smacks of pre-planning--nothing spontaneous--this is a project for these guys and they go prepared. :(

I don't think they know each other. They are acting out ultimate fantasies for themselves, I think, and I don't think guys share that with each other readily. I think this is something the perp would keep TIGHTLY held to himself--not risking anything to get caught. Maybe part of the heightened excitement to him is that only he knows ... also I think if they knew about each other and confided in each other, they would act together in attacks.
The shaved body hair is mind boggling to me, but maybe these guys watch CSI and similar shows (I wonder about the danger of giving too much info to criminals and perps, via entertainment TV). Never would I have thought that shaving body parts would be a norm. (I dated a competitive swimmer in college and he shaved his chest and legs, and that was a little too weird for me).

Hi everyone,
I think that it very possible, like crimeq says, that these perps get ideas from forensic heavy shows. We know that Lange, spend 20 years in prison, he may have picked up the shaved body idea from there. He clearly went to a lot of trouble to hide his identity and from leaving DNA but was unsuccessful in the end.
The perp, from Brianna's case seems to have an incomplete understanding of how DNA is transferred because he went to all the trouble to shave but still left enough DNA behind to complete a profile. In my opinion, he was less organized than Lange.

IMO, in Brianna's case...the shaving was not done to try & hide evidence....since he left his DNA in her case & the others.
Reno is a college town with lots of young men, and it seems to be a common practice to shave, just as it is with young women. I have two daughters in their 20's and they tell me that all their friends do this - male & female.

You could very well be right. I am unfamiliar with the trend for males to shave, but now that you mention it, I do recall hearing about it; probably from you, earlier in the Brianna discussion threads.

THIS IS UNREAL!
MGM article 2001.
More than I EVER expected to come across!
MGM Consumer Products ran an e-mail campaign designed to boost sales of Pink Panther underwear to girls age 13-17, reports A.J. Rhodes, Coordinator of Worldwide Marketing for MCP (phone: 310-449-3000). The company sent 60,000 RadicalMail e-mails to girls in the southern U.S., based on names from the MGM database and teen sites Alloy.com and Seventeen.com.
The e-mail allowed users to view a short Pink Panther video and to download vouchers for a gift in exchange for trying on Pink Panther Intimates at Parisians, Carson Pirie Scott, or Younkers stores. The e-mail also offered a Panther screensaver and allowed recipients to send the voucher via e-mail to up to three other friends.
In addition to the e-mails, another 100,000 postcards urged teens to visit the stores, Rhodes says. The campaign was designed to raise brand awareness and increase traffic and sales at Pinkpanther.com, a site that sells to the general public but is designed to appeal almost exclusively to teen girls. This regional test may be expanded in other areas, including in California in 3Q '01, Rhodes says.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Looks like some sex offenders are fighting the new law. Well maybe they should have thought about that before they assaulted their victim. I think this will be a good thing for the public to feel safer. [/*]
wow...am I reading this correctly - that under their current law -- rapists aren't even listed on the sex offender database???
The lawsuit does not name the offender, but he is identified as a man who was convicted as a 20-year-old Marine in 1984 for raping a 20-year-old female soldier in the barracks while he was drunk.
Under the current laws, Roske’s client is considered by authorities as a low risk to re-offend, meaning his information is only shared with law enforcement, courts and prosecutors. His information is not posted on the state’s Web database of sex offenders.

Police said Lange tried to commit suicide after his arrest Friday by shoving tissue down his throat. He was booked after being evaluated at a hospital.

RE: Curtis Lange case.
UPDATE: During a brief meeting with Lange at the jail this morning, he declined to talk about his arrest.
He didn't want to say "I'm innocent," or "They've got the wrong guy" or whatever ... he said nothing in his defense to the multiple sexually violent charges that have been filed against him.
He did, though, want to tell me he is mad at the media for publishing his address and showing his house on TV because he thinks his family is in danger now, and can't go home. He said he's frustrated, and wanted to know if I was the one who put stuff out about him on the Internet ...I said YES.
"Whether I am guilty or not, why put my family in danger?" he asked me.
I had to tell him that his physical address has been on the state's sex offender Web site for some time ...
I am disappointed he didn't want to talk about what's been going on. His commentary, perhaps, could have cleared up some things?
It would have been nice to hear his own words on why he's sitting in jail without bail, accused of horrible, horrible things that police say he linked to through DNA and a variety of other evidence.
Anyway, he had his chance... and said nothing.

Hi osubbfan,
Very interesting and informative article. Note that Lange deliberately shaved his privates in a attempt to keep from leaving DNA, and just like the man in Brianna's case he failed.
This story supports those of us who think that Bri's killer shaved on purpose not because it is the "In thing” to do.

Hi Osubbfan - thanks for posting this - I've been crazy busy and missed a lot. He told his wife he shaved his chest, legs and privates because of heat rash - and she must've known about his previous conviction for rape - but she didn't notice there was no rash? Sorry, I just get really angry when these women turn a blind eye or are stupid to what's right in front of their face. If my husband shaved those areas, even without a prior rape conviction, I'd damned sure know something was up. However, I agree, he should have thought about his family before he did this - they're victims now, too, suffering for what this filthy POS did. His picture sure doesn't look like his myspace persona of the happy-go-lucky just like to laugh, have fun and be silly guy. Filthy pig.

She had to know he's a convicted sex offender, shaving those areas should have been a big red flag for her.

It makes me sick. Its proof positive to me that these criminals cannot be rehabilitated. Time and time again they are let out and go back to their ways of harming others. From what I understand sexual predators and child molesters are the most at risk to re-offend when they are let out. I don't understand the system at all when it comes to them letting out someone early like in this case. He should have still been in prison doing time and those poor women would not have been attacked. :(
Also I too don't understand why the wife didn't think it was a red flag that her hubby shaved suddenly. Given his background, which she most likely knew about, that should have given her reason to wonder. He must have also hid his "rape kit" somewhere. He would have had to bring that home at some point and hidden it away along with the pictures the victims said he took. I am surprised that she wouldn't have come across it somehow. A backpack is not small and from all the things that he had in there it would have been hard to hide something that big. Its all very strange. :shrug: [/*]
Hi Angeleyes! He was probably so convincing in telling her that he learned, prison changed him, he's a new man, etc etc but still, with his background, you'd be attuned, you would certainly think, to anything out of the ordinary, and shaving his chest, legs and privates was just a *little* obvious....or would have been to most people! I don't know if women like this are stupid, naive, or just choose to turn a blind eye, but it's infuriating. This is probably the same thing that's happening with Bri's killer, that he has a wife, ex-wife or SO that KNOWS it could be him, if she used her head and common sense but for whatever reason isn't coming forward. The victim apparently scratched this guy, they said that's how they got his DNA - so your husband shaves, is gone at the time this rape occurred and that night has scratches on him - helllloooooo! Not to mention, he could not possibly have been acting completely normal that night - if you're intimate with your husband, these are all things I would think you'd pick up on - I'm certain I would!

That is what I found so appalling about his complaint. I'm sure the families of his victims wanted their loved ones to be safe as well. However, this POS is the only one that matters in his eyes...selfish arse concerned only about what directly affects him.

UNREAL ... Sicker than Sick ... Reno Again
How does this happen?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Hundreds of people have been arrested and 21 children rescued in what the FBI is calling a five-day roundup of networks of pimps who force children into prostitution that targeted 16 cities, including Reno and Las Vegas..
The Justice Department says it targeted 16 cities as part of its "Operation Cross Country" that caps off five years of similar stings nationwide. Many of the children forced into prostitution are either runaways or what authorities call "thrown-aways" - kids whose families have shunned them. Officials say they are preyed upon by organized networks of pimps who lure them in with shelter or drugs, then often beat, starve or otherwise abuse them until the children agree to work the streets. "We together have no higher calling than to protect our children and to safeguard their innocence," FBI Director Robert Mueller said today. "Yet the sex trafficking of children remains one of the most violent and unforgivable crimes in this country." In all, authorities arrested 345 people - including 290 adult prostitutes - during the operation that ended this week. Since 2003, 308 pimps and hookers have been convicted in state and federal courts of forcing youngsters into prostitution, and 433 child victims have been rescued, Mueller said. The cities targeted in this week's sting are: Atlanta; Boston; Dallas; Detroit; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; Montgomery County, Md.; Oakland, Calif.; Phoenix; Sacramento, Calif.; Tampa; Toledo, Ohio and Washington. The problem of child prostitution has taken on a new urgency in recent years with the growth of online networks where pimps advertise the youngsters to clients. The FBI generally investigates child prostitution cases that cross state lines. The cases aren't easy to convict. In April 2006, for example, charges against a Nevada man resulted in a hung jury after his 14-year-old victim refused to testify against him. Months later, however, a second jury found Juan Rico Doss of Reno, Nev., guilty of forcing two girls - ages 14 and 16 - to sell sex in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland. A University of Pennsylvania study estimates nearly 300,000 children in the United States are at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial uses - "most of them runaways or thrown-aways," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "These kids are victims. This is 21st century slavery," Allen said. "They lack the ability to walk away."

Investigators call a "throw away kid" ? Is that a foster child who turns 18?

****’s girlfriend imprisoned for helping enslave teens as prostitutes
By Alex Wood
Journal Inquirer
Published: Wednesday, April 2, 2008 12:22 PM EDT
Shanaya “Toni” Hicks, who was sentenced Tuesday to almost four years in federal prison for helping her boyfriend run a prostitution ring from a Burnside Avenue apartment in East Hartford, grew up without her mother, a crack cocaine addict who engaged in prostitution and spent considerable time in prison.
When she was in her early 20s, Hicks took on the role of guarding the locked door of a room in the Burnside Avenue apartment, behind which two teenagers were held and forced to engage in prostitution seven days a week.
The two young women — who had passed their 18th birthdays, but not by much, according to prosecutor James G. Genco — were let out of the room to use the bathroom or to “work,” Judge Christopher F. Droney said.
Genco commented on the irony of Hicks’ life story during the sentencing in U.S. District Court in Hartford. Because of her “deprived background,” the prosecutor said, Hicks, 25, might have been able to relate to the young women who were victimized in the prostitution ring. Instead, he said, she engaged in “egregious and callous conduct.”
Hicks pleaded guilty to helping her then-boyfriend, Brian Forbes, coerce the two 18-year-olds into prostitution. She also pleaded guilty to involvement in his use of two girls younger than 18 as prostitutes.
At one point, Genco said, Hicks took one of the underage girls to a tattoo parlor. The parlor’s staff refused to give the girl a tattoo because of her age, but Hicks told them she was the girl’s guardian, the prosecutor added.
Hicks has admitted that she and Forbes lured the two older teenagers into working for them with promises of jobs that didn’t include prostitution, Genco and Washington-based federal prosecutor Andrew J. Kline said in a sentencing memorandum.
Hicks and Forbes then employed isolation, drug addiction, and violence to break the girls’ wills and keep them working as prostitutes, the prosecutors continued.
Note from Peter:
I am very interested in this group of p*mp's and there operation. I believe there may be a connection between this operation and a New England teen who has been missing for over 4 years.
I spoke with Alex Wood, the reporter who wrote this article, and he was kind enough to go over his court notes with me. All the young women and underage teens forced into prostitution by Paris and Forbes were from out of state.

That's not meant to be racist....I just am not sure she's the type of target UNR is interested in.
If I had to guess she had a jealous boyfriend/wannabe boyfriend and he did something to her and it's not UNR.... [/*]
ATLANTIS,
Bri was Caucasian. The December attack was against a woman who heritage is Asian. There is no connection in regards to race, but there is a connection when one looks at physical attributes.

I am not saying that she is or is not. We know very little about Yulma outside the fact she is missing. My point was that I think it would be wrong to rule one way or the other based on race, because it is clear that race is NOT a deciding factor.
Body type may be based on the previous assaults.
Yulma is 5'2" 120 lbs “with a thin build,” and long dark hair. Maybe in other parts of the country that does not fit the definition of petite, but here in Connecticut it does.

I hope that she is found safe and this isnt the POS that took Bri striking again. She is very petite like Bri with long dark hair from what I could tell by her photo. Only 23 years old. She has been missing since Saturday. I wonder why it took so long for Reno LE to ask the public for help? This should have been in the news allot sooner. [/*]
This report made my heart sink!

and I meant to also say- even tho' this latest young woman is Hispanic, I definitely think she fits the general physical description of young women that Brianna's killer went after....young, petite, long dark hair, etc.

Does anyone know posibble INVESTIGATIVE reasons LE may have for not releasing information on her missing earlier?
Not looking to bash investigators, just interested in insight?
JMO ...
She DOES fit the physical description of the UNR, murderer and rapist.
Also, we know nothing other than a pic. of her, until more is released, I definately feel the connection is possible.

I was checking out the news in Reno for any updates, hoping that finally there has been some movement on this case. Unfortunately, the silence is deafening. However, I did find this article on a man sentenced for a rape and burglary in nearby Sparks. The last sentence beautifully summarizes what these predators are all about and is another example of the extreme self-centeredness that makes them so charming...barf
Viloria said Mendoza-Lobos, when asked by an evaluator about how he thought his victim felt, said, "I'm sorry. But what about me, and what I'm going through?" :rolleyes:
Sparks man must serve 44 years for rape (http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080627/NEWS01/806270489/1004)

Back to Brianna's case....
I keep going back to the December victim...and her location. Where she parked her vehicle & was abducted is actually on the back side of Virginia or ...Terrace Drive. It's not a busy street.
I love the new google maps - they show real time photos of the addresses you input now. 1425 Virginia - is where the victim was attacked. If you pan around, you can see that she parked directly across the street from 1430 Terrace Dr - where there are several residents. IMO, someone living or visiting there would have the best view of someone parking where the December victim parked.
(Go to googlemaps.com and input 1430 Terrace Dr and look at the street view - in Full View -- and pan around. You will see the back of 1425 N Virginia.)

I've looked at Washoe County Property records and found owner info for the various properties where assaults occurred, but I'd be curious to know who actually handles the rentals/property management and/or maintenance for those owners.
