Details of Disappearance
Denison lived in Reno, Nevada at the time of her disappearance. In 2017, she met a man from Midland, Texas in Reno. Six months later, on January 9, 2018, she flew with the man to Midland. Before she left, she didn't tell her family any details about the man, such as his name or what he looked like. She would later tell her sister, "this guy makes me scared for my life."
Denison last contacted her family on January 10, the day after her arrival. She spoke to a relative on the phone from a Walmart store in Midland. It is believed that after that they went to a Domino's pizza restaurant on Linda Avenue in Odessa, Texas and then to Rick's Cabaret to seek employment. Denison may have spent the night with the man in his RV. She has not been seen or heard from since, and her family is afraid for her safety.
The man she was with has been identified and is no longer in the Midland area. He worked as a truck driver for the oil industry in the Permian Basin area. He was questioned by the police in Nevada about Denison's disappearance, but authorities haven't said whether he's a suspect. Denison's Her case remains unsolved.
