Brianna Denison is a 19-year-old Santa Barbara City College student that has gone missing. Authorities believe Brianna Denison's rape and murder are linked to a serial rapist in the area.

The young lady went missing in the early morning hours of night she slept over her friend's house (February 2008). Denison disappeared from a Reno, Nevada home and police suspected foul play was involved.

According to a Press Release: Police said that there was a small amount of blood on Denison's pillow and they had already begun looking for a 45-year-old man they believe may have played a part in her disappearance.

According to Reno Police Department Lieutenant Robert McDonald, the man was considered "as a person of interest, not a suspect."

It's unclear if the serial rapist police are looking for is the same man. Denison was the only rape victim to be murdered in the area.
