The Murder of Brianna Denison

Briana Denison was a 19 year old psychology student at Santa Barbara City College who was back home in Reno, Nevada over the winter break in January of 2008. The night of Saturday, January 19, Brianna stayed the night on a friend’s couch, but the next morning, she wasn’t there. Her cell phone, shoes, and her purse had all been left behind, as well as a few drops of blood on the pillow where she’d been sleeping. But there was no sign of Brianna anywhere.
