Case Number 82: Brian Cohee, Jr.'s Cold Killing of Warren Barnes

Burden of Proof

When Brian Cohee, Jr. showed interest in the morbid at a young age, his parents did what any parents might. They encouraged him to channel that interest into something positive. They hoped it might spark an interest in forensic sciences and lead to a career helping others. Unfortunately, Brian instead chose to use his knowledge to harm others. In particular, he decided to prey upon someone that he thought wouldn't matter. Someone who wouldn't be missed. He chose Warren Barnes, a local unhoused man who he found sleeping. Brian was wrong though. Warren wasn't less than and he was missed the very next day.
