Reno police arrest suspect in Denison killing

KOLO 8 News reported a man named James Biela was booked into the Washoe County Jail on charges of murder, kidnapping in the first degree and sexual assault but could not confirm he is the suspect in the Denison case.

Reno police took a DNA sample from the suspect and said it would take 12 hours to process, according to KTNV channel 2 news

[Politigal]

There was a TPO filed against him in 2002

There's a picture of Biela at this site.

[GumShoeJoe]

Wow. It's been awhile since I heard anything about this case.

[Politigal]

I am just so thrilled that they found this animal...and what a Thanksgiving for Brianna's family and for the other victims as well.

I'm really curious how police came upon him.....did a female provide a tip that the pink panther panties were hers....or did another victim come forward with info....I can't wait to hear the details...

[iluvmua]

OMG! I hope this POS is the man responsible for her death.

JUSTICE FOR BRI!

[Jpanda]

Omg!!! Finally!!!!!

[Jpanda]

I just read about the arrest in the Braking News forum and I'm so happy they got him!!!! I was really concerned for all Reno residents - I can't wait to hear all about who this POS is.

Justice for Bri, sweet girl!!

Other good info is available on the Brianna Denison thread.

Fox reporting that Biela was arrested at a child care facility! :eek: Creepy!

also, some of the victims remember seeing a child's shoe in the vehcle when they were assulted. This guy has a 4 year old son that he was dropping off at that daycare.

this could very well be the guy police have been searching for.

[Politigal]

If you search James Biela's name on www.Pipl.com or www.411.com you can see the address where he was living...and other people also named at that address.

[Politigal]

According to the press conference - Secret Witness received a tip 11/1 from a girlfriend of his girlfriend's. He had left the state to work construction/plumbing in Washington in March & sold his extended cab Toyota Tacoma truck while in was in that area. Then he returned to Reno. Reno police have recovered that truck to gather evidence.

Detectives went to interview him after receiving the tip that he might be a possible suspect & they spoke with him, but he refused to give up a DNA sample. So, they kept him under surveillance for the past few weeks, and then they were able to get DNA from his child (a 4yr old) and it was a match.....

They arrested him yesterday approx 5:30pm as he was going to pickup the 4yr old at day care. They took a DNA sample from him last night & again...it was a positive match. They have charged him with sexual assault, kidnapping, murder & may possibly charge him with more. The DA hopes to seek the death penalty.

[juliekan]

there's a Brianna Denison Murder thread that has updates from the presser and other articles today.

[Breazy]

I followed this case from the get-go and was so pleased when I received an email stating an arrest had been made. Thank God for not only her family's sake but also for every other young woman in Reno. It's been a long time coming.

[Maelstrom5]

Really, Really, Great News.

The tip line worked. Its just a guess on my part but without it I don't think the witness would have gone to the police to tell them her hunch.

I wonder if this guy committed any crimes while in Washington?

[Politigal]

from the Reno news today

10:35 a.m. -- Someone in the community left a tip with Secret Witness saying that James Michael Biela may have been involved in the murder of Brianna Denison, according to the affidavit for his arrest warrant.

Following that tip, Reno police Detective Adam Wygnanski met with Biela, but he declined to give a DNA sample. He also said that his girlfriend, Carleen Harmon, could provide an alibi for him during the time of Denison’s disappearance, the affidavit said.

Harmon was interviewed and said she had a son with Biela, but said “she could not account for his whereabouts on the early morning hours of either Dec. 16, 2007 or Jan. 20, 2008,” the affidavit said.

She also said she and Biela has “a tumultuous romantic relationship” and it was common for him to leave for days.

She said he moved to Washington between March and September for work, and sold his Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck before he left.

While visiting him there, she said she found a “petite sized women’s thong style underwear/panties inside his vehicle,” the affidavit said. She said she confronted him, and he told them he had stolen them from a laundromat in Washington.

Harmon provided a DNA reference sample from her 4-year-old son to be compared with DNA evidence found during the investigation.

The Washoe County Crime Lab matched the sample with Biela.

-- -- Martha Bellisle

So, I'm wondering if he assaulted another woman while he was in Washington, since his girlfriend stated she found some thong underwear in his vehicle when she visited him there...

Wow

He could have, but he also could have told her the truth. Remember one of the possibilities discussed on this thread was that the Pink Panther panties found with Brianna may have been stolen from a Laundromat.

That's true...it's a possibility, but it was also reported he took the panties belonging to the December rape victim, and he also took panties from one of the girls who resided at Mackay Ct where Brianna was abducted...I'd bet there are probably more victims out there.

[Politigal]

The police are supposedly searching the house, so they might find his souvenirs and evidence of other crimes...

yep, I also read another article that said police were digging in his backyard for something...

AT LAST!!! Justice for Bri. :rose:

joy joy joy bliss bliss bliss. this just goes to show, that even as time passes and you think you've gotten away with rape and murder, persistance will always find you!!!!

This is the best news I've heard in a while, so happy for Bri's family and I know Bri is up in heaven smiling down on everyone. You can finally RIP sweetie.

[kaylynn]

I was so happy when I went to Foxnews.com this afternoon and saw that Briannas killer had finally been arrested. GREAT work to the Reno Police and the FBI, and I pray that this allows her family to finally have some closure.

:rose: For Brianna. You can now rest in peace.

[cherylt]

I am glad for Brianna's family & friends. I hope Brianna can rest in peace now. All we need now is for the GUILTY verdict or the plea of guilty & then justice will be served. It won't bring her back, but hopefully it will bring about some peace for all those that loved her....

Ooops, I was so excited I forgot the link: Tip + DNA
CNN has this GREAT NEWS only as a one liner, the Mumbai attacks made me almost miss it.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/11/26/brianna.denison.arrest/index.htmlPolice in Reno, Nevada, say they have solved one of their most haunting cold cases, arresting a construction worker in the slaying of 19-year-old college student Brianna Denison.


James Michael Biela, 27, is accused of killing 19-year-old Brianna Denison.

1 of 3 A secret witness tip and DNA samples taken first from the suspect's son and finally from the man himself cracked the case, authorities said Wednesday.

James Michael Biela, 27, was arrested Tuesday night and booked on suspicion of kidnapping, murder and sexual assault in connection with Denison's slaying and an attack of another woman the previous month.

The arrest marked a major milestone in a 10-month-long manhunt for Denison's killer. Police said they received 2,278 tips.



Oh my gosh, I'm speechless! There was just an arrest in the Anne Pressly case too! WOW! Prayers for Brianna's family! :rose:

I really feel sorry for the young woman who had his child & lived with him....but I question why *she* never went to police....She had to have known about his vehicle & the similiarity to the vehicle description put out by police. Also, it was said that she since told police that she couldn't account for his whereabouts the night of the December rape nor the day of Brianna's abduction. I can't help but wonder - *if* - she had gone to police when he wasn't home in December 2007, that Brianna might still be alive.

[Maelstrom5]

Hi All,

I think for a group of armchair sleuths we did a pretty good job of coming up with the theories we did early in Brianna’s case.

I and other’s felt that James Michael Biela was a serial rapist who had escalated into a killer long before the police stated that was the case. Most felt this guy would turn out to be an ‘everyman’ when he was caught and we mentioned that long before the press did. I am not suggesting here that the Reno PD did not suspect those things also, in fact their quick DNA links points to the fact that they did.

One place some of use differed was over the fact of where this guy lived. Some felt it would be in Reno, close to where the crimes were committed. I and others felt he knew the area because he had lived there at one time or worked in the area, but lived some place else. We now know that he lived in Reno as a child but moved to Washington with his mother and graduated from high school in that state. He returned to Reno in 2002 and worked as a pipe fitter for a time at University of Nevada, Reno but he has lived in Sparks since 2005

It will be interesting to see if there was a catalyst for the rapes and Bri’s murder. It will be worthy to note if we find out that there was a downturn or prolonged series of arguments between Biela and Carleen Harmon, preceding the advent of the rapes. In September of last year the couple applied for a marriage license, but apparently never got married. Could that failure have been the spark?

We have known since Brianna’s body was found that Biela had a fetish for women’s underwear. I think there is a good chance that he is a peeping tom also. I still feel that if the door had been locked that night there is a good possibility Bri would still be alive. Although I also feel that with out a question other women would have been attacked.

[Maelstrom5]

Respectfully, how did you (we) know that Biela was the murderer "since Brianna's body was found?"

Biele lived in Sparks, NV during the crimes, moved to Washinton after description was made public, but returned to Sparks. GF had found undies during her visit to Washington.

The police profile was right on. The police sketch was right on.

Maybe I am being dense but I do not understand your question. I did not state that I or anyone else knew who the killer was until the police made the announcement. What I said was "We have known since Brianna’s body was found that Biela had a fetish for women’s underwear."We now know the name of the person so there is no longer a need to refer to him as an unknown perpetrator. There was extensive discussion about the fact that the perpetrator had a fetish for women’s underwear back in Feb. when the information about the Pink Panther panties along with the pair from KT's apartment was made public.

If you remember I felt he may well have taken them as trophy’s and used them as a talisman, a way to relive the crime.

I think she misunderstood your previous answer. When I went back and reread it I could see how it could easily be misunderstood. When you said "I and other’s felt that James Michael Biela was a serial rapist who had escalated into a killer long before the police stated that was the case."

I think you were simply just plugging the actual name in now that we know who it is. I think stopthemurde thought possibly you knew the name all along.

MOO

[QUOTE=Maelstrom5;12471930]

We have known since Brianna’s body was found that Biela had a fetish for women’s underwear. I think there is a good chance that he is a peeping tom also. QUOTE]

I agree. Peeping toms and people who expose themselves to others are the most dangerous of all because a lot of the time they will escalate to the worst type of crimes possible (rape, murder, etc) once they get bored with peeping/exposing.

I have felt from the onset that this was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bri did not know the house, she did not know about the fact that the door was at times not locked, so there was no reason for her to check it. KT did know that fact and according to one of the men living there it was usually locked after a certain point in the evening. The problem seems to stem from the fact that no one was responsible for seeing to the fact it was locked, coupled with the fact that KT was accustomed to securing her personal safety/privicy by locking her bedroom door.

Add to that the fact that the women had been drinking, it was 4 in the morning, they felt they had taken proper precautions, (gotten a ride home, and not driven themselves) and I can easily see how they felt they were home and safe. It is ironic that Jessica, the person who did place herself in potential danger by getting a ride from a stranger, did not suffer. But then again I think she probably will suffer for the rest of her life, she will probably have survivors guilt until the day she dies.

I think that James Biela was cursing, and was angry over the fact he was not successful in attacking his second known victim the night before. But I also think the reason he spied Bri was pure chance, a un-shaded window, girls possibly getting out of their party clothing and getting ready to go to sleep would have been more the enough to attract him and cause him to peep. the open door provided too much of an enticement for him to ignore.

[sunstar]

One question still lingers now that we know he relocated to Washington in March, selling his truck along the way in Idaho. He seemed to be establishing a pattern in Reno, with attacks in November, December and January. Does anyone besides me wonder if he's attacked other women since leaving Reno? :shrug: I'm praying he hasn't but still wonder.

I agree...I feel that there are some other victims out there...possibly one who owns the underwear he claimed to have stolen from a laundromat while in Washington...

Looks like they're still looking for the owner of the pink panther panties. She could be dead and unfound as yet - I hope not.

[BobbisAngel]

Would this guy have been able to look into the room that Bri was sleeping in... from the street... and see her laying there? It's kind of hard to imagine a person just out driving around looking at house after house in the hopes that a young girl would be there. Do you suppose he might have seen the other two girls come home at different times and go into the house and so he waited a while and then went in and there was Bri right in the frontroom sleeping? Why did he end up killing her and raping the other girls but not killing them? What was different.

It is heartbreaking to look at pictures of Bri. She was such a beautiful young girl. So young and just beginning to live her life. Such a shame.

I'm so glad for her parents that this creep was finally caught. There will never be closure for this family but maybe they can find some peace knowing that he is locked up and unable to hurt anyone else and eventially there will be justice for Bri. I just wish that after the killer is caught and sent to prison that somehow our girls could come back. That would be closure.

[Violet24]

Yes, he would have absolutely been able to look in there. The house is close to the road and at an angle where it is really easy to see inside, big windows and I don't think there were any blinds/curtains on them at the time. Plus there are people walking and driving on that street all the time even late night so no one would have noticed anyone sticking around for a while.

[BitterSweet]

I doubt Biela is this northwest rapist from Ohio.
The perp there used a victim's atm card which as we know Biela never did in any of the Reno cases...

It's pretty much sop for police who have unsolved cases in their jurisdictions to take a look at any rapist who gets captured to see if he might be a suspect in their unsolved cases.

I would think he did steal some women's undies from laundromats....just only when he wasn't up to the task of assaulting anyone...

He probably has some trophies hidden somewhere so the police need to find those.

I don't know why he did what he did, what the trigger was.Acrimony in his relationship with his girlfriend perhaps. I guess it will be a while until the trial starts. I hope there is a trial and he doesn't plead guilty if the DA takes the death penalty off the table. I doubt the DA will take a plea but you never know.


I agree the Reno perp (James Biela) MO did not involve robbery.
I was only posting an update on further investigations into the Reno suspect.

I feel it would be naive to think that there are no other victims....sadly.

I just wish James were a Pinata and we could all have a good WHACK AT HIM!
ME FIRST!

And some people have posted that he might have started out as a peeping tom, etc. He could have looked into this house before and seen the other girls, except the door was locked or he did not try to go in. Then this night, he was back to look, and the door was unlocked, and....

[Violet24]

I still do find it odd, though, that he took such a risk. Was he watching the house for long enough to know who was in there, and that the door was unlocked? I'm sure he chose Brianna because she was the most easily accessible and matched his preferred victim type. Its funny how this case has made me feel "unsafe" even though the likelihood of being abducted is still really low compared to other things, and that there are other crazy guys out there besides the one who took Brianna. I was at a party a week ago a couple of houses down from the one in the case, and I made someone walk me out to my car. Little did I know this freak was all the way in Spanish Springs and about to be arrestd. Ha!

[BitterSweet]

Please correct me if I am mistaken....

I believe Brianna spent the night at Mackay court on Friday night as well? That night she and the other girls slept together in the locked bedroom? She went home the next morning and went to a movie with her Mom?

Was it Friday night that James Biela attempted to break in the back door on North Virginia?

If all stated is accurate, then it is safe to assume that he MAY have been peeping in at Mackay court the previous evening.

I think it's possible he'd watched the house before that night. It sure would've been easy with no blinds on the windows. He might even have known how many people lived there and the guys were gone. Or he might just have been lurking around that night and there was his opportunity, with Brianna in the living room. Whatever, he sure had a clear view of the inside of the house and could've been watching for a while until she lay down on the sofa. MOO

[BobbisAngel]

When it is starting to get dark I let my shades down. I can't stand to have them up when it is dark because it is like living in a goldfish bowl. Anyone can see in but you can't see out.

Those young people sure were trusting not to have any blinds or curtains on their windows. That creep had probably been snooping around there watching those girls for awhile just waiting for the rigiht time to enter the house and rape someone. I didn't realize how close to the street the house was and that there were no blinds.

I wonder if Bri fought him and that is how he ended up killing her. I guess his behavior could have just been esculating from rape to rape and murder though. Monster :flamemad:

[xxxx]

I think he not only murdered before but has been doing this for some time, after all he's 27 and didn't just start his crimes.

Another question no one has brought up, how did he and his girlfriend afford a $400,000 dollar house? I know the company she works for and they don't pay THAT well. Also how is he able to ask for a public defender he he has a house, are we the taxpayers going to pay for his defence?

I also hate we the media puts a "former or ex- Marine" on these people what does the serving the military have to do with it?

James Michael Biela in a Bulletproof vest...
Victim identifies him in court as her rapist, what an amazingly strong woman.

He doesn't deserve a Bulletproof vest. :cursing:

He won't have one if he is convicted. :tongue: Let the boys take care of him. :wink:

Awful sick and disgusting... U..James Biela!

I had not had knowledge of the attempts to hide Bri's body, it makes me ill to invision. I am happy that Bri's Mom and Brother left the courtroom.

Maybe one of you could answer this question?

Have investigators FIRMLY STATED Brianna's murder was a random act?

So we are to believe that James Biela had NO connection to Bri, or to any of the residents of Mackay Court. No one in her life, recognizes this man? Sat next to him at a bar, talked to him on campus,etc.

So he stumbled on the Bri, that fateful morning?

I am going out on a limb and saying that I find that scenerio hard to believe.
Maybe because that is so terrifying?

Wow,

Back when the two panties were reported several people wondered if they were used to kill Bri. I felt they were more likely used to bind or gag her, but I did not feel they were the murder weapon because I did not think the waistband would be strong enough; I was wrong. While his attempts to hide the body were crude, the Christmas tree would be effective.
