Its weird he hasnt been caught yet given he had raped and attempted to rape so close together before she was killed. I hope they do catch him before he strikes again. He may just be laying low right now knowing ppl are looking for him. Spring break is here though and hopefully that doesnt bring him back out.

Police Arrest Suspect in Sex Assault Slaying of Reno Teen Brianna Denison
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Police arrested a suspect in the abduction, sexual assault and murder of Reno teenager Brianna Denison, ending an exhaustive 10-month manhunt.
The man was taken into custody late Tuesday. Reno police will hold a press conference Wednesday to formally announce the arrest.
Local affiliate KRNV-TV confirmed that James Biela, 27, was arrested, booked at the Washoe County Jail and charged with murder, first-degree kidnapping and sexual assault. Police wouldn't immediately disclose whether Biela's arrest was connected to the Denison case, according to the station.
Denison, a 19-year-old college student, was kidnapped from a friend's house in January.
Authorities took a DNA sample from the suspect and said it would take 12 hours to process, according to local reports.
Police spokesman Steve Frady declined to provide further details, including where the suspect was arrested, issuing only a one-sentence press releasing about the 1:30 p.m. EST news conference on Wednesday, local media reported.
Denison, a sophomore at Santa Barbara City College in California, was abducted about 4:30 a.m. Jan. 20 as she slept in the living room of a friend's home near the University of Nevada's Reno campus. Denison had likely been visible through a glass door, according to police.
Her body was found in near a business park in south Reno on Feb. 15 after a massive search. An autopsy determined she had been strangled and left there about a week earlier.
Police said they collected DNA evidence at the crime scene that would link the suspect to her murder and to three other sexually-motivated attacks on women on or near the campus between October and December of 2007.
Denison graduated from Reno High School in 2006. She was visiting her hometown during winter break when she was kidnapped and killed.

Tip, DNA lead to arrest in student's slaying
James Michael Biela, 27, is accused of killing 19-year-old Brianna Denison.
CNN) -- Police in Reno, Nevada, say they have solved one of their most haunting cold cases, arresting a construction worker in the slaying of 19-year-old college student Brianna Denison.
A secret witness tip and DNA samples taken first from the suspect's son and finally from the man himself cracked the case, authorities said Wednesday.
James Michael Biela, 27, was arrested Tuesday night and booked on suspicion of kidnapping, murder and sexual assault in connection with Denison's slaying and an attack of another woman the previous month.
The arrest marked a major milestone in a 10-month-long manhunt for Denison's killer. Police said they received 2,278 tips.
The tip that cracked the case came November 1 through the Secret Witness hot line, police said.
Denison, 19, was attending college in Santa Barbara, California, and was visiting friends at the University of Nevada, Reno. She was reported missing after she slept on a friend's couch at an off-campus student apartment.
Denison's friends woke early January 20 and couldn't find her. A small blood stain was on her pillow, and her shoes, purse and cell phone were left behind.
Three weeks later, her body was found partially covered in snow in a nearby field. She'd been sexually assaulted and strangled.
During the investigation, police focused on the killer's unusual "calling card." Authorities said the suspect had a fetish for women's lingerie and took his victims' panties, leaving a previous victim's panties at the scene. The asked for help from anyone who knew about a women's black thong, size small, that was found near Denison's body.
Denison's slaying attracted nationwide attention and gripped the Reno community during the early months of 2008. State and federal law enforcement agencies worked side by side to run down each of the 2,278 tips.
"No one should have to suffer as Brianna Denison did," Washoe County Sheriff Mike Haley said, standing beside a large photo of Denison. "Brianna became everyone's daughter."
Lauren Denison, the victim's aunt, spoke with tears in her eyes, thanking law enforcement and the media for working together so they "could get this guy." Wearing a large button memorializing her niece, she added, "We are pleased that this person is off the street and he cannot hurt anyone else."
Reno Police Chief Michael Poehlman said a friend of Biela's girlfriend called the tip line, suggesting him as a suspect. According to the tipster, the girlfriend told her that she had found women's underwear in Biela's car and confronted him about it.
The information "indicated that Biela's activities and behavior made him a likely suspect," police said, without providing further details.
After identifying him as a potential suspect, police conducted surveillance on Biela, who worked as a pipe fitter. Police interviewed him and asked whether he would submit a DNA sample, but he refused, they said.
Detectives then spoke with Biela's girlfriend, who allowed police to take a DNA sample from their 4-year-old son, Poehlman said.
Police said that sample matched the boy's father to DNA evidence found both at the scene where Denison's body was found and on a rear door of the student apartment from which she was abducted.
The DNA also was matched to another sexual assault near the Reno campus in December 2007, police said.
Police took Biela into custody Tuesday on his way to pick up his son from day care, Poehlman said.
After his arrest, investigators obtained a search warrant and collected a DNA sample from Biela. Authorities worked through the night at the crime lab to complete DNA testing, which directly linked Biela to the the crime scene, police said.
Police learned that Biela left Nevada to take a job in Washington state in March, Poehlman said, noting that it was around the time a vehicle description and a composite sketch of a suspect were released to the media.
During the drive to Washington, Biela sold his truck, a Toyota extended cab pickup, which matched witness descriptions. Police have recovered the truck and are conducting tests on fibers for evidence.
Police said they think that the attack was random and that Denison did not personally know Biela
