On a cold January night in 2008, 19-year-old Brianna Denison vanished from a friend’s home in Reno, Nevada, leaving behind only a small bloodstain on her pillow. What began as a missing persons case soon unraveled into a chilling hunt for a serial predator responsible for a string of sexual assaults in the area. Tragically, Brianna’s body was found weeks later, confirming every parent’s worst fear. In this episode of Mama Mystery, we recount the heartbreaking details of Brianna’s abduction and murder, the relentless investigation to track down her killer, and the DNA evidence that finally led to his capture. Join us as we explore the story of a vibrant young woman whose life was stolen far too soon and the community’s fight to ensure her memory lives on through advocacy and justice.
