New Reno Rapist Description Released

The Reno Police Department has released to the media an updated description and other information about the suspect in the Brianna Denison murder and at least two other sexual assaults in the area. Detectives hope the updated information will help acquaintances or family members of the suspect to identify him.

From the victims of previous attacks, investigators were able to compile the following information:

  • A male that appeared to be Caucasian with the skin on his abdomen, groin, and upper legs noticeably lighter in color than the skin on his hands.

  • Likely in his early 20s to mid 30s.

  • Likely between 5'9" and 6'3" in height.

  • Large and somewhat heavy build - not overly muscular.

  • Medium to dark brown head hair. Body hair and facial hair were the same color as head hair.

  • Facial hair consisted of at least a mustache and goatee with a noticeable gap (without hair between the ends of the moustache and the top of the goatee).

  • Clear fluent English with no accent or regional dialect.

  • No visible tattoos on his hands, fingers, lower abdomen, groin, or genitals.

  • Genital and groin areas were without hair - skin noticeably smooth and consistent with use of a hair removal cream or similar hair removal process.

  • Large hands with "meaty" thick fingers..

Brianna Denison, 19, was kidnapped from the home of friends on Jan. 20. Her body was discovered Feb. 15 in a field south of Reno. She had been sexually assaulted, police said.
