Reno cops arrest suspect in student death

Thursday, November 27, 2008 |
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Reno police say they have arrested a suspect in the January kidnapping and killing of a 19-year-old college student who was abducted as she slept on a friend’s couch.
Police say they will formally announce at a news conference the arrest of the suspect in the slaying of Brianna Denison. No further details were immediately released.
Denison was abducted before dawn on Jan. 20 as she slept on the couch at a home near the University of Nevada, Reno.
Her body was found Feb. 15 in a field in south Reno.
Investigators said DNA evidence gathered from the scene linked Denison’s killer to at least two other sexual attacks on women at or near the university from October to December 2007.
