The Murder of Brianna Denison
On February 15th, in Reno, Nevada, James Biela abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered Brianna Denison. Denison stayed at her friend’s place and was asleep when the kidnapping took place. The next morning, her friend went to the room where Brianna was sleeping and found that she had left without her phone, shoes, or bag. And the most harrowing part was there was blood on the pillow…
James Biela had committed similar crimes previously, which had effectively led the authorities to him. The arrest happened when Biela was dropping his son off at daycare. Biela was found guilty of the kidnapping, murder, and sexual assault of Brianna Denison and was sentenced to four consecutive life prison terms. Brianna’s mother founded the “Bring Bri Justice Foundation” in her daughter’s honor.
