Just thought I'd start a new thread for today's press conference and following discussion. I'll ask CW to sticky it....

Hoping for some good news and that he is behind bars!!

Maelstrom5 · #2 03-06-2008, 01:19 PM

Good Move Jpanda,

Hopefully there will be a lot to discuss.

jace · #3 03-06-2008, 01:20 PM

Is the press conference going on now?

No, it is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. PST. It is 9:22 there now, so a little over an hour....

And thanks guys - This was actually my very first time starting a new thread - baby's growing up!

Brattnt · #5 03-06-2008, 02:08 PM

I sure hope this is him!....

Fox News just reported that the press conference will start in about 30 minutes.

They said new info will be given - that the perp is younger than previously thought and would blend in well in the environment.

I'm paraphrasing - will wait for the PC. Nothing was said about anyone being arrested or in custody.

Wow!! I know some of us were speculating that he could at the very least LOOK younger than what they originally first thought.

No wonder they are holding a press release - if he is younger, that is a HUGE development that all college-aged females in Reno should be aware of. They could have felt safer around someone their own age these last couple months, but they need to know to be aware of EVERYONE.

I'm trying to find a live link for the press conference but can't find anything yet - where are you butterfly??? Doesn't your job know you have more important things to do right now??

Well I am here now so I will let you know as soon as we hear anything... I wish we at least had a TV at work. I cannnot find a place to hear it live online or on the radio. If anyone else finds on please let me know.

HarlettOhara · #10 03-06-2008, 02:36 PM

We have found some interesting information... I will give you a link instead of moving it all here.

ruby · #14 03-06-2008, 02:45 PM

I can't listen either, at work.

Whoever gets the first info, start posting away

Please and Thanks.

butterfly28 · #15 03-06-2008, 02:46 PM

Well it is over now. I only heard something about another pair of underwear with black checkers. Was anyone able to hear it?
Hopefully our local paper or news stations will update with new info quickly. I also think the Reno PD site is supposed to update.

I came in in the middle of it - thank you for the link! No arrest

All I heard was that at one time, he was in possession of the pink panther underwear, another pair with his and Brianna's DNA on it AND underwear belonging to the owner of the Mackay Court resident. I missed the rest!

All I caught was that he was also in possession of underwear belonging to the owner of the residence and a pair with his and Brianna's DNA--so it sounds like he had been in that residence before, stealing undies IMO

butterfly28 · #18 03-06-2008, 02:49 PM

The owner of the Mackay residence or one of the girls who rented the house? (Bri's friends?)

Maelstrom5 · #19 03-06-2008, 02:50 PM

Hi All I just caught the middle of the press conference but it sounded like two pairs of panties were found at the crime scene and they were entwined. The second pair was pink and had the perps DNA along with Brianna’s on it.

I could well be wrong because I got the link too late but thats what it sounded like.

SameHere1 · #20 03-06-2008, 02:50 PM

Darn it! I was hoping Fox would carry it live! Nope - there is breaking news on yet another college student - beautiful young woman - shot and killed yesterday - they are looking for her car.

Student body President at the University of North Carolina. They're trying to see if there is a link between this and the Auburn student..

Man, this is just so sick.

butterfly28 · #21 03-06-2008, 02:53 PM

So the pink panther under did not have the perps DNA but the other pair did. That explains why there was the mix-up...

She said he had the undies of the owner of the residence, but maybe she meant KT?

Maybe they did it just to clarify the incorrect information given about the underwear?

I keep trying to find the new info on our local sites but they have not been updated yet. Very frustrating!!

Thanks for that link!! So am I understanding this correctly? The second pair of underwear that was intertwined with the pink panther pair is either KT's or her roommate's? Is that right?
Oh my god, how scary!

That is what I take it to mean as well. So he was in there previously? Maybe a friend of one of the roommates? That would also explain how this person knew the 2 male roommates were out of town that weekend.

Brianna's DNA is on it too, I don't get it - was she wearing someone else's underwear, like K.T.'s?

Yes, a bummer about the PC, I really think they had to do it just to explain the DNA mix-up.

SameHere1 · #33 03-06-2008, 03:29 PM

Thank you for the link about the PC.

I swear they said more about it on Fox News re: younger than previously thought - would blend in - etc., etc....

WTH is up with that? Can Fox or any news source get things right? They just spew words out there and then don't follow up.

I'll keep listening though - putz that I am!!

I was confused as to why her DNA was on there as well but if the underwear just touched her couldn't her DNA be on there?

I agree about the PC...

That’s what it sounds like. It sounds like KT's or Melissa’s underwear were taken and at one point Brianna came into contact with them and left her DNA. This does not necessarily mean she was wearing them, they may have been forced in to her mouth to keep her from screaming.

#36 03-06-2008, 03:39 PM

I'm sorry but why the heck did they announce this press conference 2 days ago to release this information? It does not seem that this was set up to help the public gain a better understanding of this perp but, instead to address any negative media LE may have gotten due to the DNA screw-up. Quite self-serving and misleading. I would think the purpose of releasing information about evidence is to educate the public so they can be of more help in identifying this killer. Maybe I'm not getting it but how does this PC address that? They know whose panties and whose DNA already. Sorry to rant but IMO they set this up as important, but important to whom??? I was hoping for some good news, something more about this guy that will enable someone to finally recognize him...these panties really tell us nothing more than we already knew. Nothing like waiting 2 days to have someone waste your time and attention.

Oh well, I am just really disturbed by the case and by the lack of progress. Have they interviewed everyone in the neighborhood and traces anyone who moved out withing the last year?

Justice delayed

[/*]

We all feel the frustration but I feel confident in our local LE (although I know that others on this board may not). I have seen them work cases before and I cannot tell you how dedicated they are. A lot of these officers on Bri's case are putting in well over 80 hour work weeks since this has happened putting this before anything in their own lives (although this is their job and should be the case). I know I may be in the minorty here but we have an excellent police department and I strongly feel they will solve this case.

I did hear something on the PC about receiving over 2,500 leads so they are not just sitting around waiting for something to fall in their laps- they are chasing down leads. I pray something will come of it quickly!

I wasn't too fond of the press conference, but I have faith in LE too. (I think only cause my family is filled with cops!)
