Brianna Denison College Coed Kidnapped in Reno (Photos)

is a 19 year old college student who has reportedly been abducted in Reno, Nevada. The young woman and several friends visited an area casino Saturday evening before returning to an apartment that several of them share. Denison was missing without a trace the next morning when the others awoke and is now the subject of a kidnapping investigation by Reno, Nevada police.

Denison is studying psychology at Santa Barbara City College in California but was home on winter break in Nevada. Her friend, K.T. Hunter reported that she last left Denison sleeping on her living room couch at 4:00a.m. on Sunday morning. When she woke several hours later, Denison was missing and there was blood on the pillow that the woman had been using. A sliding glass door in the living room was unlocked.

No one has seen or heard from the young woman since her disappearance. She left behind clothing and shoes as well as her purse and cellphone. The petite woman is described as 5 foot tall and weighs 98 pounds. She has long, dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Police want to talk to a 45 year old white man who is reportedly driving a light beige or light brown Chevrolet or GMC Suburban. Another friend of the young women got a ride home from this man, after approaching him at the Sands Hotel & Casino. He did not enter the house with her but police want to speak to him. He is not considered a suspect at this time.

Police are treating Denison's disappearance as a kidnapping. If you see this woman or have information, you are asked to call Reno Police Department at (775)334-2121.

Greta Van Susteren of Fox News did a telephone interview with several of the friends who were with Brianna on Saturday evening. They have been instructed to keep most of the details to themselves but did share some background on their evening at the Sands Hotel & Casino.
