I think it is VERY STRANGE...
I would fax or email it to Reno PD along with a phone call follow up!

There is a registered sex offender in the Reno/Sparks area with that same name.

Great Find ..

What an interesting find! Very strange, indeed. Name is very common, wonder if it's real, though...

Sexual Assault Reported At UConn
September 7, 2008

I feel sure this case has nothing to do with Brianna's but I felt it was worth a link because it points out once again how dangerous college campuses can be if you don't take the proper precautions

There have been numerous sexual assaults or attempts near college campuses in the past few months - one in a university parking garage -

I wonder if any of the cases are related to Reno....

Hi Bittersweet,

This attack potentially fits the profile. It sounds like the perpetrator stalked the location, not the woman, and then looked for a victim of opportunity.

As you know I have felt from the very early stages of the Brianna Denison investigation that is how the Reno attacks took place and nothing has surfaced to change my mind.

The composite generally fits the profile of the Reno rapist/killer; I would be interested in learning what the physical characteristics of the victim were. It sounds like the have the perps DNA so they should quickly be able to identify if his is in the system.

LOL BitterSweet,

I hope she was arrested for giving false information to the police.

Let me guess; was she was trying to avoid explaining where she was and who she was with?

Mom continues 3-year search for missing daughter
By Jaclyn O'Malley • jomalley@rgj.com • September 14, 2008

The heartbroken mother of a former showgirl-turned-scholar, who disappeared more than three years ago, is visiting Reno to pass out fliers in the hope that someone will help find her daughter.


"My family needs answers, closure," said Carla Brown of Salt Lake City, Utah. "I don't believe she would run away this long. She had too much going for her."

Jennifer Casper-Ross was a 30-year-old mother to a toddler boy and was attending the University of Nevada, Reno on a NASA scholarship when she disappeared on May 5, 2005. She was a ballerina who later danced professionally as a showgirl in casino performances in Las Vegas and Reno.

Her career ended after she broke her tailbone during a show.

During her college career at Truckee Meadows Community College and UNR, Casper-Ross was a physics and math tutor, and was torn between becoming a veterinarian or a scientist working on a cure for cancer, her family said. She was one year shy of graduation when she disappeared.

Casper-Ross's life was also swirling in mental illness, drug abuse, financial and marital troubles, and she had recently been fired from her job as an exotic dancer. Her mother said she stripped to earn money to pay for the home she recently bought with her husband, Sean, and to care for her son, nearly 3.

Police say her husband has always cooperated in the investigation. He was granted a divorce several months after his wife disappeared, and has custody of their son.

Weeks before Casper-Ross disappeared, she had been hospitalized for mental illness issues and had previously tried suicide, her mother said.

"I have no inner peace," Brown said. "I need some piece of mind and heart. My family has lost a piece of themselves."

Brown does not think her daughter committed suicide but believes she is dead and is a victim of foul play. She ruled out suicide because no body has ever been found.

"I want to find her and give her peace," Brown said." She is not resting in peace wherever she is."

Inspired by the family of slain college student Brianna Denison, Brown said she will be in Reno the next few weeks to keep her daughter's memory alive, and hopes someone with answers will finally come forward.

Denison, 19, was strangled and found in a field in February. Her family and friends ignited an awareness campaign through passing out blue ribbons and holding several public functions focusing on community safety and finding justice for "Bri."

Brown has been passing out fliers for the past week with her daughter's photo and information.

She has asked tourists to bring them back to their hometowns and is grateful when shop owners allow her to post them on their windows.

"I just want to find her," Brown said. "Someone has to know something. She didn't just vanish off the side of the road."

Reno police robbery/homicide detective Dave Fogarty said he's been waiting for answers, too.

There has been no trace of Casper-Ross since she was last seen barefoot hopping a fence near the downtown Reno cab company.

Casper-Ross is classified as a missing person and her DNA is in a national database.

Throughout the years, Fogarty has received tips that led him to unidentified bodies that were not Casper-Ross. Recently, a tipster from out of state thought he found a woman he knew was Casper-Ross, but it was later determined she was not.

"We've never come up with anything solid to lead us in any one direction," Fogarty said. "We are always following up on leads. We want answers just as much as her family."





Chronology
May 4, 2005: Carla Brown sees her daughter at a Reno grocery store with her grandson. Jennifer Casper-Ross asks her to come over to her home, but she can't. Later, Jennifer calls a friend and cancels plans for the next day.
1:30 a.m., May 5: Jennifer's husband finds her home, drunk, with cuts on her arms and wrists. They have a fight and she leaves carrying a bag of clothing. Sean Ross finds cryptic notes covered in blood in her bedroom that designated who could see her son and have her possessions if something happened to her.
About 5 a.m.: Jennifer is at the Peppermill Hotel and Casino having drinks with a stranger. She uses his cell phone to call her father in Las Vegas to tell him she wants to see him.
5:30 a.m. to 6 a.m.: Jennifer is at a Reno taxi company on Gentry Way looking for her mother, who works there. When she's told Carla Brown had the day off, she becomes very upset and leaves. She broke the heel of her shoe and then hopped a fence.

So what is this ?

Suicide, accident or homicide ?

Although suicidal I think she was murdered by someone who knew she was vulnerable.

I was researching this last night....I found online that her husband sold his home 11/06 (per Washoe property records)....I'm not sure where he moved to...but I'm curious if police ever thoroughly scoured that property....

I believe her (ex) husband has been cleared and very cooperative with police?

We have gone here there and everywhere with our "Sweet Bri's" case.
Have we ever suggested the "Cab Driver" theory? I am NOT trying to be suggestive...I am just to lazy to read thru...

I know I have posed this question before but will again...Does Mackay Court have curbside "permit only" parking?

So Jennifers Mom worked at Reno Sparks Cab Company on Gentry...
She now lives in Washington..
Lasty, why did Jennifer run and jump the fence at the cab company, breaking her shoe in the process...

Anyone want to start a new thread for Jennifer...

I've wondered about the cab driver angle in Bri's case too. And it wouldn't be unusual for a cabby to be out & about at all hours, but not generally in a pickup truck.

I wondered about the Cab company angle also, but in this story they state that Jennifer's scent was tracked from the fence to the street then they lost it.

I find it strange that if Jennifer was suicidal her remains have not been found. Even if she wandered out of the city you would think they would have found them during the search for Brianna.

This story says "on the morning of May 5th, 2005, Jennifer and her husband were arguing." and we know she called her dad and tried to contact her mother, it sounds to me like she was reaching out for help.

IMO, even her mother thinks the husband may have had something to do with it with this statement:

"The most logical thing would have been go home and get a pair of shoes," says Carla.

just read a short article about the case on the CNN website. i like to do tarot readings** on cold cases, so take this with a grain of salt. thanks.


here's what i "got" from my reading:

- he's still out there, most likely stalking more women right now
- let down your guard in the media now, and he will try to strike again
- he will revert back to an old stomping ground soon of one of his previous victims
- seems as if he is married w/ family... may give the pretense that he is happily married to others, yet dreads the life he has at home
- a woman-- most likely wife or girlfriend-- suspects something, yet too afraid to come forward and is in denial
- strangely enough, something that will help might be... a priest? it seems this man is very religious... he might have a habit of confessing his crimes to a priest... i know priests are bound by their vows or whatever, but... it seems religion is this guy's weakness... and he's confessed many times over to some religious figure...
- check strip clubs... he also seems to be someone who frequets strip clubs for some reason... check sources there and start your investigation. can't really say which place, but for some reason i have a feeling you already know where to start looking.
- oh-- has strange markings on his back



** please note i like to do tarot readings on "cold cases." i'm not saying they are right or wrong, but i just like doing them. if they can help, that's great. if not, i'm sorry-- i'm not trying to incite mass hysteria... just trying to perhaps help and "stimulate the muse". so please don't take too much offense to my posts.

New article on CNN today.

Serial rapist suspected in student's slaying

i agree. i think most psychics are fake-- especially when they seek fame and/or fortune. that disgusts me-- people who try to profit or inflate their egos off of the misery of others.

anyway, i'm also not claiming what i wrote above has any merit, and it's obviously very vague-- i never claimed to be great/specific. lol. but... i dunno. sometimes i see cases posted on CNN's site and i like to comment on them with a reading. a "comment section" wasn't allowed on that article, so i googled until i could find a message board to post my reading on. and i found this. but anyway, unlike other psychics, i prefer anonymity (and obviously don't charge $!). and i don't need to know if i'm right or wrong either. i just need to post what i see. that's all.

anyway, all i read about the case was what i saw on CNN's site today. never heard/read about it before (i didn't start reading the news until a couple months ago, really-- and i don't watch tv). although all these other theories are quite interesting.

i hope whatever happens, they do find this man and bring him to justice. i feel that they will-- and rather quickly too. there will be a victory coming soon. and closure finally.

[BitterSweet]

Thank you for your input hangedman and welcome!
I appreciate and respect findings which as Atlantis pointed does have similarites to our perp.

I also feel he is religious...

My feeling is that he grew up in a family which imposed STRONG religious views and restrictions. I also believe that he does not drink or smoke because his religion mandates barr these activites.
Which possibly in his mind warrants the murder of a college girl who has been social drinking and partying?

This latest article is a little puzzling to me. Previously the suspect was described as not having a flabby belly but not a firm belly, or something similar to that...and in this article it says he has a pot belly. There aren't too many young men that have a pot belly - unless they are a little bit overweight, or they drink a lot of beer, etc. I'm really wondering if the guy might be older than they think, hence the pot belly...?

Too..with a victim id sometimes the victim is traumatized and their identification isn't as objective as it might otherwise be...
It's also possible the police reinterviewed the witnesses hoping they might recall some details they missed in the initial interviews and refined the id based upon that...That may or may not be a good thing ....

that's the bad thing with this case.....I think Brianna was probably the only one who saw this guy face to face...
