Brianna and Caitlin Denison // 287

from Going West: True Crime · host Dark West Productions

In January of 2008, a 19-year-old woman went missing from Reno, Nevada. When her body was discovered weeks later in a field, evidence brought police to her killer. But 10 years later, in January of 2018, her 19-year-old cousin boarded a plane to Texas from Nevada, and was never seen by her family again. When home security camera footage captured a woman who resembled her, the mystery deepened. This the murder of Brianna Denison, and the disappearance of Caitlin Denison. BONUS EPISODESApple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1. Brianna's Find A Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/164600482/brianna-zunino-denison/photo2.
