Brianna Denison, a 19-year-old Santa Barbara City College student, who was home in Reno, Nevada, on winter break, went out partying with friends Saturday night Jan. 19, 2008 and then spent the night on their couch. When Denison's friends woke the next morning she had disappeared, leaving her clothes, cell phone and other personal items behind.
Her body was later found in a field near a Reno business park and an autopsy confirmed that Brianna had been strangled and sexually assaulted.
