UPDATE I: Man Sought in Teen’s ‘Suspicious’ Disappearance
Brianna Denison Reported Missing Sunday After Friends Discover Blood on Her Pillow
Authorities have announced that they wanted to talk to an unnamed man in his 40s who may have information in Brianna Denison’s whereabouts. The man dropped Denison’s friend off at the house where she was staying after she failed to get a taxi cab.
A man in a sport utility vehicle picked up one of Denison’s friends around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino after she failed to find a taxi. The driver dropped her at the house where Denison was staying. While the ride was without incident and police are not calling the man a “suspect,” they say that he is a “person of interest” who may know something about the disappearance. “It’s a leaf that’s unturned,” Macdonald said.
Police today released surveillance image of a car driven by a man who they say may know something about Denison’s whereabouts.
Police in Reno, Nev., want to talk to a man they believe may have information about a 19-year-old woman’s “suspicious” disappearance Sunday.
Brianna Denison was last seen around 4 a.m. Sunday when she went to sleep on the sofa at a friend’s house near the University of Nevada in Reno. The two had been at a party at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino earlier in the night. The friend gave Denison a blanket and pillow before going upstairs to bed.
When the friend came downstairs later in the day, Denison was missing and a bloodstain the size of a “silver dollar” was on the pillow she had been using, Lt. Robert Macdonald, a spokesman for the Reno Police Department, told ABC News.
The blood caused some alarm for police, Macdonald said, but the bigger concern was that it appeared Denison had disappeared wearing no shoes and only the sweats and a light shirt she’d worn to bed. Her cell phone and purse had also been left behind.
UPDATE II: Search on for Woman Missing Who Disappeared From Nevada Home
A 19-year-old college student mysteriously vanished from a Reno, Nev., home early Sunday morning, and cops fear she may have been kidnapped.
“We’re treating this as an abduction case right now,” Lt. Robert McDonald of the Reno Police Department told FOX News. “A small amount of blood on her pillow is of interest to us.”
Cops are looking for a tan-colored, later-model GMC or Chevy Suburban and a white male, about 45 years old, who might be of Latin descent.
“He’s certainly a person of interest. We’re treating him as a person of interest, not a suspect,” McDonald said.
The man driving the vehicle had picked up a friend of Denison’s earlier that evening from the party both were attending when the friend was trying to hail a cab and dropped her off without incident at Mackay Court, the residence where she lived and Denison was staying, McDonald told FOXNews.com.
UPDATE III: Friends of Missing Brianna Denison set up FACE BOOK site
(Click here for full page)
Friends of missing teenager Brianna Denison have set up a “Find Bri” page on the popular social networking site Facebook.com.
The page, set up by Ashley Stern of Colorado, shows a photo of the 19-year-old who has been missing since late this weekend.
The page can be found here and encourages anyone with information about Denison to call a number listed at the bottom.
America’s Most Wanted
After leaving the casino, police say Brianna returned to a friend’s home at 1395 MacKay Court at around 4 a.m., and was reportedly last seen falling asleep on a couch. The residence is in an area close to the University of Nevada, and is populated mostly by college students living off-campus. That was the last time anyone saw the 19-year-old psychology student.
Earlier that night, a friend, who was also staying at the MacKay Court residence, solicited a ride from an unknown male. The girl arrived home safe and sound, and police say that the journey was without incident.
UPDATE IV: Reno Cops: Missing Student Was Abducted
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Investigators went door to door Tuesday searching for a 19-year-old college student who they believe was kidnapped from a friend’s home over the weekend. Brianna Denison was last seen around 4 a.m. Sunday when she went to sleep on her friend’s couch after a night of partying. She slept near an unlocked glass door and used a 2-foot-tall teddy bear as an extra pillow, police said.
When the friend awoke, Denison and the teddy bear were gone. Her purse, cell phone and clothes, including two pairs of shoes, were undisturbed, police said.
“We have not come up with any other clues, any of the items or anything that would lead us to Brianna at this time,” police Lt. Ron Holladay.
UPDATE V: FBI Joins Search for ‘Abducted’ Teen
Authorities Now Say Brianna Denison Was Likely Taken From Her Friend’s Reno Home
The FBI has joined the investigation into what police now say was likely the abduction of a teenage woman from a friend’s Reno, Nev., home sometime Sunday morning.
Tips, Frady said, continue to come to investigators. “We are continuing to talk to people,” he said. “We are getting information, and we’re continuing to follow those leads.”
Authorities also continue to seek an unnamed man in his 40s, who they believe may have information about Denison’s whereabouts.
The man became implicated in the abduction investigation after he dropped another one of Denison’s friends at the same house where she had been staying. Many college-age women share the rental house near the University of Nevada.
Authorities say that the man picked up Denison’s friend around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino after she failed to find a taxi. The driver, considered for now a “person of interest” rather than a “suspect,” dropped the young woman at the house roughly three hours before Denison and another friend returned from the same party.
UPDATE VI: Denison Investigators Interview Registered Sex Offenders
Investigators have begun interviewing sex offenders who live in the neighborhood where Brianna Denison disappeared from. They say within a one-mile span of the home on Mackay Way, there are about 100 registered sex offenders…and police want to talk to all of them.
Officers checked every empty home, building and alley in the Mackay Way neighborhood, leaving no trash can unturned. With no sign of Brianna, they say their next step was taking a closer look at neighbors with past convictions of a sex crime.
Reno search focuses on sex offenders
Police question nearly 100 as they continue hunt for former Mendocino woman
The Regional Sex Offender Unit, which includes Reno and Sparks police as well as Washoe County sheriff’s deputies, was focusing on sex offenders who live within a mile of the Mackay Court residence where Denison was staying before she disappeared.
That was part of a larger effort to contact more than 1,700 sex offenders registered in Washoe County.
“We’re continuing to be out in the field and the sex offender unit is also working on this,” said Steve Frady, public information officer for the Reno police and fire departments.
Authorities expressed frustration with the search.
“From our perspective, we don’t have any credible leads in which to follow up at this point,” University of Nevada, Reno Police Chief Adam Garcia said Wednesday night.
“Basically, Brianna has disappeared. She has fallen off the face of the Earth,” he told a Reno radio station.
UPDATE VII: Possible Suspect Sketch Released In Missing Teen Case
(sketch of Reno, NV serial rapist)
Already linked to the December sexual assault of a woman in Reno, police said Thursday they now have DNA evidence that also ties the suspected abduction of Brianna Denison to an attack in the same neighborhood back in late November.
Police also released a composite sketch of a suspected rapist in a previously unreported attack in the area in October that investigators said is “not inconsistent” with the descriptions in the other three cases.
The developments stem from an “exponential increase” in information flowing into police tip lines since investigators released a description on Monday of a suspect in a December kidnapping and sexual assault also near campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, Reno Police Commander Ron Holladay said.
Police said DNA helped link that crime to evidence collected at the Reno home where the 19-year-old Denison last was seen in the early morning hours of Jan. 20.
On Thursday, Holladay said they now have connected all three attacks with DNA and were investigating the October rape of a woman who came forward on Wednesday to report she was attacked at gunpoint in a UNR parking garage within 100 yards of a campus police station.

21 year old Denise Amber Lee has been missing since this past Thursday. She is believed to have been abducted. Michael Lee King has been arrested by police who is suspected of abducting Denise Amber Lee.
Description:
- a white 21 year old female
- 5’2” tall
- about 110 pounds
- She has dirty-blonde hair below her shoulder blades and a small mole under her chin on the right side of her face
Denise Amber Lee is thought to have been taken on Thursday from North Port, where her husband found their two young children alone in the home.
Later Thursday, authorities arrested Michael Lee King, 37, who they believe snatched Lee, the daughter of a Charlotte County sheriff’s lieutenant. But there has been no sign of her.
Neighbors: Man charged in kidnapping drove through area repeatedly
Neighbors of Denise Amber Lee said they had seen her reported abductor, Michael Lee King, drive by Lee’s house several times, including early yesterday morning.
Neighbor Jennifer Eckert said she saw King park his green Camaro in the driveway of Lee’s Latour Avenue home at about p.m. yesterday. Eckert said she came outside when she heard the Camaro pull in and made eye contact with the driver, presumably King. The driver then sped off, Eckert said.
Eckert told police what she saw, and that information helped identify King and his Camaro as a suspect. She said Lee’s husband later tearfully thanked her for the help.
The suspect, Michael King was caught and arrested Thursday night, hours after Lee was snatched from her North Port home.

The Denise Amber Lee Abduction: The First 28 Hours
Witness: Kidnapped woman screamed for help
The last man to have seen North Port resident Denise Amber Lee said Friday that she screamed for him to call the police before she was sped away by accused kidnapper Michael King.
Harold Muxlow Jr., 45, was startled by the incident outside his North Port home but said he did not immediately understand that there had been a kidnapping.
Muxlow said that King, his cousin, had a “psycho” girlfriend and that such drama was not necessarily unusual.
UPDATE I: Searchers Find Unidentified Body, Is It Denise Amber Lee?
The body of an unidentified white woman was found today in Sarasota County, FL. Could it be the body of missing Denise Amber Lee? There has yet to be a positive id. Deputies also announced that they plan to hold another news conference with Lee’s family at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Searchers have found the body of a white woman in Sarasota County, but have not positively identified it, officials with the North Port police department said today at a news conference.
Investigators have been looking for Denise Amber Lee, 21, who disappeared from her home in North Port on Thursday. They arrested Michael Lee King, 36, that night and charged him with kidnapping.
Deputies also announced that they plan to hold another news conference with Lee’s family at 10 a.m. Sunday.
At another news conference this morning, authorities reiterated there is no known relationship between Lee and the man in custody in connection with her disappearance.
“At this point the investigative team has nothing to believe it was anything more than an absolute random act of violence,” said Terry Lewis, police chief for the North Port Police Department.
UPDATE II: Cops Find Body in Search for Mother of 2 Believed Abducted From Florida Home
NORTH PORT, Fla. — Florida police on Saturday say they have found a body “likely” that of a missing mother of two, a day after arresting a man in connection with her alleged abduction and finding blonde hair and a woman’s ring in his car, MyFoxTampaBay.com reports.
UPDATE III: Grim find seems to seal a missing woman’s fate
A search-and-rescue team found the body after nearly 250 law enforcement officers from all over the region had joined in the search for Lee.
The body was found in a swampy wooded area that, though the crime-scene tape was visible from Interstate 75, was remote enough that investigators were being shuttled there by helicopter.
There is a large pond nearby, and people familiar with the area say large alligators abound.
Police would not conclusively say that the body found Saturday was Lee’s.
UPDATE IV: Medical Examiner ID’s Body In Shallow Grave As Denise Lee
The sad yet not unexpected news is coming out of Florida today. The medical examiner has positively ID’d the body found in a shallow grave as that of missing Denise Amber Lee. May she rest in peace.
TAMPA – A body found Saturday in a shallow grave in Sarasota County has been positively identified as Denise Amber Lee of North Port, authorities announced today.
Lee, the 21-year-old daughter of a veteran sheriff’s lieutenant, had been missing since Thursday.
“We’ve identified the remains of the victim we found yesterday as our victim Denise,” said North Port Police Chief Terry Lewis. “She is with God.”

The sad but not unexpected news is being reported that the body of missing Meredith Emerson has been found. Gary Michael Hilton has previously been charged with kidnapping with bodily injury. Now he will be charged with her murder. Meredith Emerson, rest in peace.
The body of Buford hiker Meredith Emerson, missing since New Year’s Day in the North Georgia mountains, has been found by authorities, her family’s spokeswoman confirmed Monday night.
“We did find out just now, not that it was unexpected,” Peggy Bailey said.
She did not confirm exactly where the body was found but said, “I know it was a place where they have been looking.”
As search parties continued with a sixth day of scouring the mountains for Emerson, the man suspected of killing her faced a judge but made no comment.
Although the father of the young hiker went before cameras Monday to ask the public to “search their hearts and memories” for anything that might lead to his daughter, attorneys said that even if searchers had never found her body, Gary Michael Hilton still could have been charged with her murder.
Hilton was charged Saturday with kidnapping with bodily injury, felonies that carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. (AJC)
Report: Body of Missing Georgia Hiker Found
Authorities found the body of a missing hiker Monday, hours after a judge denied bond to the man accused of kidnapping her in the mountains of northern Georgia.
A source close to the investigation, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity, said the remains of 24-year-old Meredith Emerson had been found. The disclosure came after authorities scheduled a “major announcement” in the case in Dawson County, south of where Gary Michael Hilton, 61, appeared in court.
Investigators are examining whether Emerson’s death and the disappearance of two other hikers in October in North Carolina are related.

24 year old Meredith Emerson has been missing since New Year’s Day when 
she went hiking near Blood Mountain in north Georgia.

Gary Michael Hilton
UPDATE I: “Person of interest” found in search for hiker
Police in Georgia say a man wanted in connection with a 24-year-old hiker missing was found tonight at a convenience store in Atlanta’s suburbs.
Gary Michael Hilton of DeKalb County, was found by police and taken to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation office for questioning. The missing hiker, Meredith Emerson, wasn’t with him.
She’s originally from Longmont but has been living outside Atlanta.
UPDATE II: Police question ‘person of interest’ in Ga. hiker’s disappearance as search for woman resumes
Also on Saturday, authorities went to Forsyth County in the Atlanta suburbs, where Emerson’s black Labrador retriever named Ella was found Friday at a grocery store, Bankhead said. Authorities identified Ella using her implanted microchip, Union County investigator Kimberly Verdone said.
Officials continued Saturday with their questioning of Gary Michael Hilton, who authorities said was seen with Emerson several times Tuesday.
Police picked up Hilton at a convenience store in the Atlanta area, Verdone said. She previously described the 61-year-old man as a “person of interest,” not a suspect.
UPDATE III: Search for missing hiker narrowed
Meanwhile, the “person of interest” connected to Emerson’s disappearance is not cooperating with investigators, Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton told the Journal-Constitution earlier Saturday.
Authorities said Gary Michael Hilton, 61, remained at “an undisclosed location” and is being questioned in the disappearance of Emerson, whose dog, Ella, turned up a day earlier at a Cumming-area grocery store.
Paxton said Saturday that investigators have surveillance tape showing that Hilton had been in the area where the dog was found, but added, “We don’t have the luxury of him cooperating in the search for the woman.”
GBI officials wouldn’t confirm media reports that some of Meredith Emerson’s belongings were found in a dumpster outside this Quik Trip on Keith Bridge Road in Cumming, not far from the Kroger where Emerson’s dog was found. WSB reported that officials searched the dumpster, dusted a pay phone at the Quik Trip for fingerprints and had removed the receiver from the phone.

The Kroger store is the same location where Emerson’s dog was found Friday night.

Investigators had recovered three bloody fleece tops like the kind Meredith Emerson wore and said they held out little hope of finding her alive.
“It’s gone from a search and rescue to a search and recovery,” Union County sheriff’s investigator Kimberly Verdone said.
Three bloody fleece tops believed to be Emerson’s and a bloodstained piece of a car’s seat belt were found in a trash bin beside a convenience store where Hilton had used a pay phone, the warrant stated. Hilton had attempted to vacuum and wash portions of his 2001 Chevrolet Astro van, which was found without the rear seat belt, according to the document.

13 year old Brittnee Plant has been missing from Mesa, AZ since November 21, 2007. Brittnee is believed to be with an individual named Chris according to her mother. Britnee Plant called her mother once on November 26; however, hung up before her mother could ask any questions. Brittnee Plant may be with a 19-year-old man she met at a shopping mall
The teen, Brittnee Plant, has been the subject of a desperate search since she vanished Nov. 20 from her home. Although it appears Brittnee ran away during the night with an adult male identified only as “Chris,” her family and authorities fear that she is in danger and being held against her will.
Brittnee’s friends have told authorities that “Chris” had been trying to convince Brittnee to run away with him for some time. Police have no other leads on the identity of “Chris” or Brittnee’s whereabouts and are asking the public for help in finding the young girl.
Brittnee Plant
She is described as 5 feet 1 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds.
She was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans with writing on them, black and red shoes, and a necklace with a heart pendant
Anyone with any information on Brittnee Plant to call Mesa police at (480) 644 – 2211.
Mesa teen’s disappearance a mystery
“She said, ‘Hey, Mom, I’m calling to say I love you guys,’?” Stephens said.
But then she hung up the phone. Stephens said she thinks someone walked into the room as her daughter was calling, prompting the girl to end the conversation abruptly. And since she hasn’t heard from her daughter at all for more than a week, she is especially worried.
“It’s just not in her character. She’s a normal teenager,” Stephens said. “She’s a good girl, and I know that she would continue to call or at least let us know she was OK.”
Police and Stephens said the girl was having “teenage” problems before she disappeared.
Police said Brittnee might be with a man named Chris, but they don’t have any other information on him. Stephens said Chris is homeless and has tried to lure her daughter away before.
Police ask for help finding Mesa girl, missing two weeks
UPDATE I: Girl, 13, missing 2 weeks found at Mexico border
A 13-year-old girl missing for more than two weeks has been found on the Arizona-Mexico border.

Police said Lisa Stevens, Brittnee’s mother, contacted the department Nov. 20 when she discovered the girl missing from their Mesa home. Stevens told police she last saw Brittnee the night before.

David Spears also later told authorities that he called his mother sometime after 1 a.m. and asked to use her vehicle, Copeland has said. She took it to him about half an hour later, then stayed at his house while her son left in her vehicle for about 5 1/2 hours, Copeland has said.
