Brian Cohee Jr. was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
...& he was thinking he'd only be looking at 15-20yrs?..haha Brian..haa'flippin'ha!..did he seriously think he'd get off that lightly?...unbelievable!..
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😂 and he estimated 15-20 years. Did they show his reaction when he heard his sentence?
Nice
🎉🎉🎉
This homeless man was well loved in my community. This teenager thought no one would miss a homeless person but boy was he wrong. This homeless man had coffee daily with a shop owner on Main street and she called the police immediately when he didn’t show up that first morning after he was murdered. The whole community gave him a great memorial and you couldn’t really live in our community without having crossed paths with him at some point. He hung out daily at the local bookstore. He had coffee daily with people. He often had deep meaningful conversations. This was the most sickening, devastating thing to happen in our community since I’ve lived here 25 years. Although, the killing of Jennifer Blagg and her missing daughter Abby Blagg that Jennifer’s husband killed, Michael Blagg. The Michael Blagg case was one horrible case as well that happened in 2006 I believe.
I am happy to hear that he was appreciated and loved while he was alive. This is so senseless and tragic.
“This homeless man” had a name. His name is Warren Barnes. Reducing him to just this homeless man is somewhat insulting
@@25archivesss what about privacy? doxing him won't bring him back
@@MultiChrisjbDoxing who? What privacy? Sir is no longer alive.
I can hear the cap comments from a mile away
I don't cry because of true crime cases often but the description of Warren, how he acted, and what he was known for brought me to tears. He reminds me of my granddad, I don't understand how anyone could even think about hurting someone like that. Fly high, Warren. Fly high.
SAME i was on the verge of tears that entire time. the music did not help. rest in peace waren barnes, the reading man, fly high. i hope you have your own bench to read books on up there.
Same 😢
I am more sad because Stephanie said that Brian mentioned Warren didn’t even fight back. That is super heart wrenching, I hope Warren knows that he made a impact in his community and he was seen 😢 ❤️🩹🕊️
i came to the comments because i had to take a break from the description she gave, he sounded so sweet, i have no words
I think another benefit of the cops being so polite to this edge-lord besides compliance is a way of denying his fantasy. If they treated him like the monster he wants so desperately to be it would feed into his ego, essentially confirming this absurd reality he’s created for himself.
yeah, I thought so too. Because he's fantasizing to be something big, like a superstar in the m-word world. So it's good that the officers kept their cool because it's definitely gonna feed his ego.
That’s a really good point, I hadn’t thought about that.
I think the cops being super nice is a very good thing. It probably made him way more comfortable and provided an environment where he would divulge the most info quickly
It's a pretty common interogation technique. Makes the accused more comfortable, may make them think the cops are on his side, that they will help him etc.. it can be pretty effective! Especially with someone who clearly craves attention and loves shocking others like this guy
Yeah but the cops who showed up for the car being in the river didn’t know the full context. I think that’s who they’re talking about
They use a portion of the Reid Technique.
considering these officers have no idea what his mental state is at the moment it is the safest option to act calm collected and friendly.
I get what you're saying, but I think in this case he would've gladly spilled the beans regardless.
I'm crying for warren. He seemed to be such a peaceful soul... if there's a heaven, I hope he has his own bench and library there too.
There is dear friend, Jesus is all powerful and supernatural, he is love, Reedemer, healer, comforter, Heaven is perfect and more beautiful than we can imagine in Revelations there’s a bit of info about the beauty of what it looks like. Streets of gold, different amazing stones, Jesus loves you so much!
may you encounter him!
There’s power in the name of Jesus bc of him prayer which is talking to Heavenly Father God is easy where you don’t have to go to “person to person to talk to him.” He will meet All your needs, ask, seek, it’s all about having faith and keeping the faith and see why it’s worth keeping the faith!
Life without Jesus is terrifying bc of missing out on what is for you and missing out on his Heavenly Kingdom is really sad. When it’s more amazing than we can ever think or imagine, peace and joy be multiplied to you in Jesus name!
Hell was never meant for ppl it’s where punishment takes place for the enemy and those that follow the enemy bc they didn’t choose life, Jesus is life, peace, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He came to save us all and restore the brokenness on earth. King Jesus is given the trust to judge all to be in His Heavenly Kingdom doing what we’re gifted to do as God’s children (that’s if you accept Jesus and are Holy Spirit filled).
That's a very beautiful thought, I hope so too
🙏 amen
Amen 🙏🏼💕
😢❤
The mother is absolutely partially responsible for this horror for ignoring the warning signs that kept being brought up to her.
The father too
i almost cried when u started talking about warren, they way he asked why. he seemed like such a good man
Yes that was very heartbreaking. The way he killed him also. So awful. On the “Explore with us” channel it showed a police woman laughing when his severed legs were found down at the river. Not all the police did that but that was disrespectful. Cruel ..
@@elissacaddy2216 IKR she was on some Logan Paul shit except she's an officer of the law ... distasteful.
@@elissacaddy2216could be shock,finding body parts is traumatic and some people burst into laughter to deal with horrible situations.
The fact that he treated the interrogation so lightly made me feel VERY disturbed.
It was like he was just chatting to a friend about a movie or something.
It just made me feel annoyed. People like this shouldn’t be feared, because that’s what they want. Just think of them as wannabe edgy, entitled people who think they’re the smartest out there when they’re really not. He’s shown time and time again that he wasn’t someone that should be feared. The fact that he called himself the smartest person yet he then searched how to clear phone history as if that would do anything…..
Yep
The thing about being nice to serialkillers, what I've learned, is that if you want to know crucial details like where are the bodies, how many are there, etc... It's important to be friendly to serialkillers. They enjoy the attention, they enjoy the power. And they will not give you anything if they aren't benefiting from giving you something you need.
So while yeah, it can be disturbing they're so nice to him... It's because they're good at their jobs and they have to, to keep him talking. They need him to talk.
For example Kemper would not speak to people he didn't like or who he viewed spoke to him disrespectfully.
Just something to keep in mind.
@@Memokkeen remind me of a case Stephanie had covered not long ago.
About hostage negotiations.
I think this has a similar way of dealing with criminals except the goal is to have them confess and tell valuable information instead of releasing the victims.
And I think both need a huge amount of mental strength I could never-
Warren sounded like the nicest, kindest man. He never deserved anything that happened to him.
They use the cruel type of person
I started crying when she was talking about how selfless he was
Sigh
May he rest in peace, he is very missed....the world is so unfair
Yes.. he was soo nice that the women who were working at the coffee shop gave him coffees everyday for free, until the day he disappeared and they immediately knew that something was wrong and called the police. He was missed immediately that's how good of a person he was. RIP Warren.
Something I've realized about these types of people and 'jokes':
If someone is constantly making 'jokes' about terrible things, it means that these are constant thoughts that run through their mind and they put a lot of mental energy towards them.
Even normal non-killer people who joke really often about something. If they're 'joking' about something all the time, chances are that in reality it means more to them than just a joke, but they are ashamed or hesitant to admit the real opinion they have on it, so they mask it as a 'joke'
Completely agree.
ah yes, i always joke about my sexuality because i'm terrified of coming out to people
@@univrs_that's what I used to do, now I'm out and proud
@@candyguy775 i'm proud of you!
@univrs_ um thank you.. However I do not consider it as an achievement....my life almost instantly improved especially after getting so much attention from other men....now I have quite an enormous ego lol
i really loved that you included Warrens story, a lot of crime podcasters often just brush over homeless people but i cried when you told his story :( he sounded like the sweetest soul.
His mom sounds like a total enabler on the released audio.
the dad too
Yeah, as a teacher I’ve seen this kind of thing (on a way less extreme level obviously). Some parents feel like their kid can do no wrong and any discipline is targeted. It’s sad because it leads to kids who are totally unprepared for the real world.
The fact that the mother had the audacity to open up a daycare center in the same home that they share with Brian despite him constantly showing such vile behaviors his whole life shows how insane she is. Other peoples small, impressionable and defenseless children in that house with him while she pretends to be a teacher or caretaker 🤮. Stuff like this is genetic honestly. You dont get a child like Brian out of nowhere…the apple never falls far from the tree.
@@qtpiefuuurrrever its not only genetic. 99% from environment.
@@qtpiefuuurrrever She opened the daycare during the time period he was medicated and doing well in school. It sounds like they got his medication just right, then puberty hit. His hormones threw everything off and they weren't able to get his medication right after that. Working from home was probably her solution to bringing in income for his medical needs and being at home whenever her kids needed her.
That monster thought that he took the life of a man who meant nothing, just a homeless man, but he was so wrong. He took the life of a peaceful and respectful human being, someone who just wanted a chair and a sunny day to read his books in peace and doze off from time to time. I hope Brian Cohee Jr. rots in jail for the rest of his life and that heaven has a special place, full of books and a cozy chair for Warren.
I often think of the line from the Merlin miniseries from 1998:
Morgana: What are you going to do?
Merlin: I'm going to forget you.
Warren will be remembered. The lesson will be remembered. The bad guy will ultimately be but a footnote at most.
@@AmethystarWhat’s the point of being remembered when you’re dead? 😂 At the end of the day, they’re gonna forget about him too, and the killer will end up being the one remembered, not like it makes any difference.
@@Adam-326this is the most pathetic troll I’ve read in so long. More than pathetic, it’s just heartbreaking to imagine someone thinking in the way you just typed. If we don’t have each other in life, then what was ever the point? It’s one thing to hold yourself as someone above sentimental beliefs, but it’s another to ridicule people who carry this code of ethics that makes remembering their responsibility. If you feel as if you have no one to remember you when you’re gone, I do hope things turn around for you and maybe you can understand this one day ❤
@@Adam-326 he also gonna die and people also gonna forget about him. Being remembered doesn't mean anything really, you don't live in the memories of people like some say you just die and you have to face the consequences of what you did in this life so be good.
@@Iizanya Hahaha, but it’s true, though. No matter who you are, unless people really, really, hate you, you’ll be forgotten sooner or later.
Usually I dont cry for true crime cases but the memorial for Warren has me in tears. He deserved so much better.
I know it’s horrible 😕
You're right, Stephanie. Brian will be forgotten. I had never heard of this case before today and I doubt I will remember him in another day or so. However, the memory of Warren, the homeless man who fed his bread to the birds will live within me forever.
The story of the homeless man and who he was made me want to cry. I really enjoyed how you didn't only focus on the murderer.
Right!! That's what I love about her content she puts a lot of efforts into building up empathy for the victims
I told my loved ones that if I'm ever murdered please reach out to this channel to talk about it. I know that's so morbid. But this channel makes me cry for the victims when so many other channels don't.
@@wrenpeach6707 there are hundreds of crime cases a year, ur murder wouldn't be special hun
@@idk1436hun why are you so being passive aggressive its just a comment hun chill hun okay hun?
@idk1436 thanks so much for putting me in my place, you seem like a very happy person with a great personality and many people who care about you 😊
I've watched the story about this case. I'm glad Stephanie covered it as well. RIP Warren. He seems like a good guy, he has a job that he kept for long, he loves books, and the people around him look out for him, and that speaks a lot about him. Homelessness doesn't mean worthlessness. You cannot just subject them to murder or your sick fantasies and curiosities.
Couldn't have said it better!
100%
Yep
Beautifully said, thank you for posting this in Warrens memory!
Beautifully written
The way Stephanie talks about the victims is so incredible, so respectful and filled with love and compassion. I cry almost every time
I love how you talked about Warren, often when watching cases like this the victims become almost a thing in the eyes of people who investigate their brutal ends but it's important to remember that they were human beings like all of us who had feelings and dreams and thoughts. Wherever you are, Warren, I hope you're at peace, you'll never be forgotten.
Its so sad to see mothers in denial that their child could be an absolute monster, makes them feel like they failed.
*Don’t read my name…. 😮*
Mothers in denial are evil themselves, there needs to be a limit of acceptance for evil behavior.
@@remigiuszkurzynski9351 a mother in denial about their child is not “evil”, that’s ridiculous.
@@remigiuszkurzynski9351 oh the all knowing great UA-cam psychiatrist has spoken 🙄
@@remigiuszkurzynski9351Then your mother must be evil, as you seem profoundly irritating. See how reductive that was?
Killers who kill the homeless because they “won’t be missed” give me chills. I don’t know they don’t see them as humans. The way he talked about that man and demonstrated what he did to him ?? I’m just so disturbed by this entire case and how it was handled. He only thought that man’s life was worth 15 yrs in jail. How casually he was saying that??
Exactly i get actual shivers. I deeply believe that hes not even human.

@@Andrein.3237guess you’re a democrat then lmaooo
The fact that he felt he was taking the life of someone that no one would miss, I haven’t met Warren and I’ve been thinking about him for the past two days now. He sounds like one of the most interesting people. Selfless and didn’t ask the world for anything except to exist. May he be remembered for all the lives he touched and not for the brutal and savage fate he met. May Brian rot in his cell for the rest of his miserable life. His parents should feel more self aware after being so clueless over their son acting like a HUGE walking red flag. Also, the rest of the world is lucky he was caught after this one tragic loss because I truly believe he would have taken more lives.
Side note, Stephanie hasn't uploaded anything this week, even on her podcast. Hope she's okay!
i came to read the comments just to see if no one noticed
Yeah I noticed it too and checking every day if she has posted anything…i hope she is doing good
i’ve also been checking 🥲 hope it’s nothing serious
she did, 7 hours ago on Rotten Mango
Next week! I've missed her too ♡ Stephanie is, hands down, my favorite UA-camr. The editing, research, delivery and execution are perfectly done.
Brian talking about Warren’s ”old man voice” made me so sad for some reason. It just made me imagine how confused and hurt he must have sounded. Poor man. He just wanted to read his books in peace.
me too
me too
i don’t know how this detective sat through this interrogation without having to take a break, truly seeing the video tapes and how easily he confessed is scary and mind boggling .
Giiiiiirl!! Where you been? I’ve been having Stephanie withdrawals!
Bless the woman who reported Warren missing!
Like I feel that literally thanks to her, he was found. RIP Warren!
youre absolutely right. nobody else would have known
RIP Warren from a fellow book lover who never had the good fortune of meeting you. It was Warren and his story that broke me. He deserved so much more.
Just a suggestion but whenever you say in a video “trigger warning” or “content warning” I’d love to see a time stamp for when it’s safe to listen again. I’m specifically commenting this because of the animal abuse part. I didn’t know when was safe to listen again and I caught some of it. Just would be a nice thing :3
1:13:34 it’s disgusting to watch how well he’s treated but research has shown that sadistic narcissists cooperate better when they feel like they are “respected” by law enforcement
Must be hard having to cater and put up a front to get these kinds of people to be more comfortable with incriminating themselves, next level restraint and patience.
It’s really fascinating especially after watching JCS videos, you get to understand how detectives try to earn the suspect’s trust to keep them talking as much as possible, and to catch them in lies if they try to change their story later.
It might not be that hard for them. I'm pretty sure I washed the bodycam footage from the cops that found the remains and they were laughing and making jokes as they found the body parts. I mean they're not the detectives, but I've seen plenty of detectives that act the same way. Just very dark humor.
The officers don’t want to blow the case on some technicality that a lawyer would used to get the case dismissed or confess ruled unconstitutional. I know it would be hard for me to be polite to an animal like this guy is.
@@juneboom_ wait, jcs covered this too?
I JUST saw the EWU crime video on this. The interrogation was absolutely disturbing. His constant smiling and laughing while reliving the crime…it’s very telling and utterly terrifying.
*Don’t read my name…. 😮*
And how dead he just told the police when they asked him what his parents could have found 😮
The way he smiles and chuckles. He's proud of himself 🤢
I was wondering why Stephanie was reposting this story again, but thank you, it was actually the EWU crime video I saw!
Same omg
Thank you for including the victim's story. It was nice yet sad at the same time to hear Warren's story and how he was loved by people around him. Rest in peace to Warren Barnes
I watched the entire bodycam footage and coverage from this case whennit came out and was surprised but glad she covered this case, bringing it even more into the light. Warren was a beloved member of his community, it is gutwrenching and heartbreaking what that kid did to him. He had multiple people who cared so much about him & they were the real ones bringing justice, no doubt
And FUQ the parents. They could and would ignore a red flag even if the flag pole was literally fuqqin impaling them.
The cops being all buddy buddy & funny with the kid in the first half of the bodycam footage enraged me. And then listening to him trying to excuse EVERYTHING at first like the blood on/in the trunk due to his special effects makeup he had been practicing and everyone was like "yeah okay cool, makes sense." Then him having Warren's wallet because he just "found" it by the river the same night his car ended up in the river? and decided to take it home and not turn it in or tell an officer when he had the chance? Sickening is an understatement
I am the mother of a autistic young man and I understand where the mom is coming from but on the flip side I never let my kid get away with any behavior that put himself.or others at risk. He is 21 now and I fought tooth and nail to get him here. He is accountable for all his actions even if he does not understand why his actions were wrong.
i have autistic people in my family and they’re completely normal. hate this stigma oml
I get it. I don’t have autism myself but I do have bipolar, and murderers who have it love to talk about how their bipolar made them kill 🙄. No. Bipolar, autism, adhd, they don’t make you kill. You have to want to, and choose to follow through with it.
I’m autistic and adhd, I have ptsd and have been in abusive relationships, and my home life was toxic. Most I did was skip school and only person I’d hurt was myself. @bobbiegalvan8599 good on you btw. And sometimes autistic people might not understand at first but they can be taught to see things from other peoples view it just takes time. Sounds like he has a good support system 💗
@@riveramnell143no disorder makes you “kill someone”, i mean ig no disorders can trigger voluntary actions
@@thErianxOscarI'd argue legitimate psychosis could. Hallucinations are a hell of a thing.
that picture of warren reading hit me so hard, he reminded me a lot of my dad, down to the boots, the baseball cap, the posture and the insatiable habit of reading.... bless his soul and thank you for always taking the time to talk about the victims
Warren reminds me of my dad, too. Just like you said, down to the boots and baseball cap and absolute yearning to read and know more. May God let these wonderful men rest in peace, and thank you for giving this cold world such beautiful souls. 🙏
Same here. It seems like it's tough to find a genuinely kind soul. Warren could've had a bad attitude because of his situation, however, he was naturally kind to others.
May he rest easy.
😢
Stephanie, your story telling is absolutely amazing and considerate. You keep us on the edge with unexpected turns, while maintaining respect and compassion. The tribute you have to the victim at the end was beautiful.
Steph is everything okay? I'm so worried
She's been sick but is doing much better! ♡ I've missed her so much.
She's my favorite UA-camr.
It really bothered me that he said the guy he murdered was named "Warren Brown". Thats not his name, it's Warren Barnes. And he repeats it wrong several times and no one bothers to correct him which means most people just casually watching & not paying close attention will also assume thats his name. It's just yet another slap in the face to this poor, completely innocent, book loving gentleman who probably never hurt a fly from the way people who knew him talked about him. I'm so glad they created that beautiful statue of a chair and books in his memory & I know his spirit will live on through it and the people who cared for him. Just pisses me off to no end that this snot nosed kid couldn't even be bothered to learn the name of the person he murdered. R.I.P. Warren Barnes, "the reading man" 📚 🙏✨️
I think the sad part of this is the interrogators are being friendly and non-confrontational to get answers and it's working. But that strategy hurts to hear from the victim's perspective. It helps get this monster locked up but hurts the memory of the kind man so senselessly taken. I cried at the end of this one. Fly high Warren Barnes.
What a jerk
I think it is so important to remember the victims - not the murderer. Keep them alive in our memories and watch out for each other
Brian deserves to be forgotten. Warren should be remembered forever.

It’s so loving to hear that there are people out there that love and care for the homeless like these people did for Warren… rest in peace reading man. It’s so heart breaking how this kid took his life and made it seem like he was nothing because he was homeless… so utterly heartbreaking. I’m from Colorado and small towns can be the best places…
*I MISS U MOTHER MANGO* 🥺 I hope you, Stubby, Tiger, Mango & everyone from the Soo/Stubby fam is doing well & is in good health! ❤️🥭
Something I don't understand is how the parents didn't think something was wrong even after finding a MURDER KIT in his possession. They told him to get rid of it or get the police involved and then that was the end of it - out of sight, out of mind. I understand that, as parents, they refuse to believe that they raised someone with those kinds of intentions, but the mother was running a daycare IN THEIR HOME. There should've at least been some form of concern for the kids. I can't imagine what could've happened had the guy gotten bold and decided to commit such a terrible act on them, genuinely such a terrifying thing to think about.
Regardless, I do hope that the family is doing okay. I hope that the friends of mister Warren Barnes are doing okay. May he rest in peace.
And to think he was confident he’d only get 13-20 years for this. Individuals like this should never be released. I fully believe there is a very high likelihood that he would go on to become a serial killer had he not been caught.
Considering how he marked that day of his crime as "1st" on his calendar, it's telling he was already thinking of committing more murders.
My little brother is autistic and does the same underestimating when it comes to numbers. I can’t say for this guy, but I know for my brother he just has a hard time gauging things like prices/time estimates/etc. So chances are, this guy didn’t comprehend that he’d get far longer than that. It makes me wonder: if this guy was able to gauge prison time better and realized he’d be in there for life, would he have never killed Warren?
Your description of Warren was so heartwarming...it gave me goosebumps. Thank you for honoring him.❤
Stephanie are you okay???? You never took so many days to post on all your platforms ❤ please stay safe I'm worried 💝💝
I cried when you showed Warren’s memorial chair & books with the quote “and you also” 😢
Rest in peace sweet man ❤
Honestly the memorial is the sweetest thing ❤
"And you also" I cried so badly.
May your soul rest peacefully, Warren💐
What does “and you also” mean? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
Warren loved to sit and read near a bridal boutique. Everyone knew him for sitting there in a chair and reading for long hours. He was very comforting to everyone. When someone bid him good night or a good day, he would always answer with "and you also" as a way of telling the people to have a nice day/night also. In the end, people made a permanent memorial, a sculpted metal chair with books on top with Warren's well-known kind words "and you also" written. It's a way of remembering him forever who used to be a kind and friendly human and his immense love for reading books and he will be missed.
Hope that helps you😊

forreal its like such a weird case to me
I've seen this case already, but I bet how my gril tells it bound to be way more intrigued
*Don’t read my name…. 😮*
Thank you for speaking so kindly of Warren. People like Warren *are* often treated as "someone no one will miss" and, moreover, "someone not worth missing". But people suffering from homelessness and related struggles are still people too, with wants and needs and personalities. He sounds like a wonderful person and I would have liked to know him. It warms my heart to know that, even though his life was brought to such a tragin end, that there were so many people around him who cared.
Oh and Brian can get bent. I'd like to say something meaner but I think UA-cam would ban me.
yea plus the killer could easily be homeless if it wasnt for his parents!
I want to say thank you for always trying your best to get a glimpse at who the victim is. I'm sure many people would and have just referred to Warren as a homeless man and moved on. You and your team took the time to learn about a man treasured by a community. I wish I could have met him and bought him a coffee, he sounds truly wonderful.
I don’t know how you do it Steph, the way you talk about the victims and how they made the world a little better always make me cry so much, my heart aches for all the lights taken by this fucked up people who’s only mission is to cause harm and pain. I hope you have a way to cope with all the pain that you report on, it can be really hard sometime. Thank you for your work and all the respect you have for the victims, their loved ones and their stories ❤
REST IN ABSOLUTELY PEACE WARREN BARNS!!
He sounded like the sweetest man and deserved so much better.
Y'know, you never really FEEL the impact of these victim's deaths until you start hearing about who they were, like I started crying hearing how Warren Barnes was just simply living is life 😭
No uploads since the 18th, i'm worried. Is everything okay?
Yeah, she haven’t been uploading on any of her channels lately i hope she’s ok
Do you think she got burned out? She has been uploading a lot in her 3 channel, i was worried that she will get burned out 😔. She didn't even upload any podcast on her Spotify...

crying for Warren. it hurts to know what he went through. homeless people deserve safety and protection. i had to google his name, and came across the sculpture in memory of him and it’s really beautiful to know he was loved by the community 🥺
I absolutely cannot STAND when people try to blame someone's autism for their crimes. Lots of us deal with the hells of autism and societies that do not and refuse to understand or accommodate us and we don't go committing murder "just because we wanna know what it's like".
Yea I don't think his autism caused this. He is sadistic and likes hurting animals and people.
As a mum with auDHD, having kids with autism, ADHD and auDHD (managed to get each flavour), how he writes in his diary, how people are describing him, how he acts and thinks... It doesn't feel right with the autism/ADHD or even depression disorder. It feels more like paranoia disorder (not sure about schizophrenia though) and even aspects of psychopathy rather than neurodivergency.
I'm not a psychologist, but it so feels like he either managed to manipulate some of the testing or he got a wrong diagnosis because the psychologist or psychiatrist couldn't be bothered to look further.
I definitly agree that autism is NEVER something to blame crimes on. Yes, some don't know right from wrong (in severe cases), but even they don't go murdering just for fun. I think this guy's parents couldn't be bothered with being actual parents and getting the right help or even providing any support that could've prevented this.
@@MissyPinkie Yeah, I can’t help but feel that some parents look at their kid exhibiting obvious signs of budding psychopathy and try and bend over backwards to rationalize that it’s “just ASD” because it has much less stigma (relatively speaking). Some psychologists also focus too much on the “lack of empathy” characteristic and lump people who lack affective empathy together with those who lack cognitive empathy.
@@MissyPinkieas someone who’s diagnosed with paranoia and persistent depression it kinda is. I don’t wanna diagnose anything but the way he talked about his friends and family the constant feeling of being watched is how I’ve always felt since I was 7 or 8. I use to draw eyes everywhere and wrote about a “raven” that was watching me. Even the making of the cypher, I use to do that cause I felt like the raven or my family would see and do something bad.
@@pansexualselenophila6730 I’m sorry you have to experience that, it definitely must be frightening and frustrating (especially at such a young age age to start with).
Hopefully you have the right support and support network around you to help so you can enjoy life as much as possible. It is so important to have the right people around you who won’t judge but at the same time will fight for (and sometimes with) you to make sure you don’t come to harm.
The fact that she had to wait an entire hour after reporting a decapitated head in her son's closet will always baffle me beyond belief.
My guess is she was in shock, tried to come up with a reasonable explanation before thinking the worst🤷♀️
Maybe it was an exact quote but from Rotten Mango the 911 call stated that she found something in her son’s closet and to come right now.
If this quote is accurate then you can’t blame the 911 operator. This something could be anything; it’s only with hindsight we know yeah.
We also just don’t know what the police are up to during this time. I know there was a shooting in my apartment complex recently and cops showed up an hour later because there was like 2 other shootings across town and they are understaffed.
Sorry thats exactly why I don't trust police, I live 4 miles outside of town takes over half an hour to get my house. IF i were to be robbed or something police wouldn't be there quick enough. Seriously, people trust their lives to police and they can't even make it on scene quick enough.
I saw another video about this and I think the reason was that she wanted to get him home first so that he wouldn't see the cop cars outside and flee. I could be misremembering tho, and I just started watching this video
@@ninjagirl226I live here and there are plenty of cops and not a huge population and we don't have a ton of violent crimes. All these idiot kids hang out in the parking lot where I work and the cops get called there all the time so now they are putting up cameras in the area to monitor them so ya I don't think it was cause they were busy.
No updates.. I hope you're fine
idk if stephanie is just taking time off or not. i mean she definitely deserves it but she didnt mention it at all. and it's been over a week of silence. so i'm kinda worried. does anyone know if she's ok? i just miss her ( which is such a weird thing to say about a youtuber)
I’m in school to be a therapist and I always find it fascinating to see parents turn a blind eye to their children’s behavior because of their own selfishness, which then leads to horrible problems in the future.
She didn't turn a blind eye. She called the police. I haven't watched the whole thing. But yeah, of course she doesn't want her kid going away for so long or getting the death penalty despite her knowing he's guilty. She's scared but could give him another chance if she could with a slap on the wrist and meltal health care. She didn't realize he was a monster. And even letting him go, maybe she also feels the urge to protect.
It's because their generation didn't believe in it. Not many older people have the self-realization or self-actualization.. they are stuck in their ways and they don't even see what they need to change in themselves so they never would see it in their children. To them a criticism of their children is a direct criticism of them again it's deep-seated issues they need to go to therapy for but they never will
That's a mum love bro, no matter how much of a monster you are, they are still trying to protect you.
I think it’s because most of us don’t want to think or can fathom our loved ones committing such horrific acts. Even with him being strange and showing alarming behavior. People don’t want to make that connection because it’s such a horrible thought.
I think this also goes with when a child is going through depression, a lot of parents dismiss it. I think mental health is still a bit taboo
Yeah, F her, I hate those kind of parents
literally my favorite podcast. you are so good at descripting things, and you are so respectful when doing it.
Hey girl we need you out here please give us a story 🥹🥹
As a 56 yr old West Indian Mom....listening to this story on my tiny Island - not ashamed to say I cried for Warren and sent silent prayers for wherever he is. May he never be forgotten. R.I.P 😢😢
Edda Sw D ssßss wwwqqqqqqqqq😮 😮😮w😮😮
The sweet story of the bridal owner setting up a chair for the victim so he could sit outside and read made me cry 😭😭😭. Some people are so heartless (not only Brian but also the town leaders for taking away all the benches, wtf?). It's like they don't know anyone can be homeless with a little bad luck. I'm a bookworm too and I'd like to just sit and read all the time and be left alone like Warren. RIP Warren.
Did your uploading schedule change ?
guys let her be sick omg!!
I really respect how much emphasis you put on telling who the victim was and humanizing them.
Brian Cohee, 21, was arrested March 1, 2021, for the murder and mutilation of 69-year-old Warren Barnes, who Cohee attacked and killed while Barnes was sleeping two days earlier on Feb. 27. Cohee then dismembered Barnes and took parts home. Cohee’s parents discovered Barnes’s head and hands in his closet.
Barnes was a homeless man who spent time outside a number of downtown businesses and made friends with his outgoing personality.
Note: He was 19 when he murdered Barnes, he is 21 now
This happened in my hometown and most people living in my community had crossed paths with this gentleman at some point because he engaged in conversations
With those in his community at coffee shops, bookstores and a store owner of a store on Main Street in particular he had a standing coffee date daily and the first day he didn’t show up she called the police to immediately and explained she was concerned since he slept outside and it was so cold in February and he never missed a coffee date with her in several months maybe years. They were “friends”. Warren even attended church downtown at my church. I still remember him coming in to the 9 AM service. He sat in the front row and was always welcomed warmly and he always greeted those around him warmly. He was the only homeless person that attended our church and we welcomed him with open arms. He never made anyone uncomfortable as he was a very happy, generous man. The fact that he was attacked when he was most vulnerable by this sick teenager is horrifying. He was sleeping when attacked. Can you imagine being abruptly awoken out of a deep peaceful slumber to the piercing pain of being cut up in pieces and bleeding out.
@@stephanieburgess8217 This story is so heartbreaking and frustrating. Rest in peace, Warren, I hope you're warm and safe now, without all pain and worry
Rest in paradise, Warren. You are not forgotten.
The "may he live a very long life" gave me chills because usually thats supposed to be a good wish on someone
My heart absolutely goes out to Mr Warren. From what you said, he seems like such a generous, caring and loving man. Content with what he had and grateful for the small pleasures. I am so appalled by the actions of Brian against this gentleman. May his soul Rest in eternal peace.
Stephanie are you okay ? There’s no Sunday episode yet 😭
I‘m also wondering what happened 😭
@@cryingbabygangsta ITS ALL GOOD SHE POSTED
Dawg if I was a cop and heard that the car was facing the water and saw blood on the bumper I would immediately tell them to bring him back, that is enough for probable cause I’m sure. Plus a knife and a wallet? Found afterwards. Bro. It’s so obvious what happened.
The problem with your assumption is that it is based on hindsight, but the reality is that you don't actually suspect this to happen, so most wouldn't even jump to the conclusion that a person was murdered.
Worked the job for a few years and you won't believe how common it is for the sketchy situation to be innocent or non-criminal at the least.
@@irishlegend5326 idk I just think the trunk being faced towards the water and literal blood coming from the bumper is very suspicious, and I would absolutely be suspicious if I was there.
@wumpiss I don't doubt that you think that, but in reality, I don't think you would be suspicious, mainly because there is a lot more to the situation and also, you would be a bad police officer. If you were suspicious, why would you have the parents retrieve the son and not send another unit to pick him up instead? You're just giving them a head start to get away and now you have to do a manhunt with somebody who could be a thrill killer, which means the body count will continue to stack up, so assuming you would be suspicious and assuming you would sent the parents, then you put everyone else at risk.
Anyway, this is all hypothetical and I have no idea how you would actually react, but experience tells me you wouldn't react the way you think you would.
The only reason it wasn't suspicious to them is because the driver was a young, white male who came from a family that were well off financially enough to get him a mental health diagnosis. Let's be real here.
@@irishlegend5326 and? If it isn't yay 🎉, but that's the most idiotic thing I have ever heard ignoring possible crime evidence because they are not common? Bruh. I'd rather face an angry Karen than let a criminal escape.
His interrogation is so disturbing. And that poor lovely man who was murdered didn’t deserve that. 😢
Maybe he did....... maybe he didnt accept help bc he felt that he didnt deserve it bc of the horrible things he had done in the past....... He worked, he sat in a chair, read books, and fed birds...... but no one really knew him.....maybe he kept his distance for a good reason. Lovely? id have to know more before I described him as lovely
@@user-wy6bz2vs7osome people don’t think they deserve help because their self esteem is so low they don’t think they’re deserving of it, or they don’t like accepting help from others to not burden them
@@user-wy6bz2vs7o is the justifying of the murder here with us?
@@user-wy6bz2vs7o Uh, does having a bad past mean someone deserves to be murdered?
Does someone know why there is no update or new video?
I really enjoy your storytelling and how you bring humanity into it. I normally don't do crime stuff, but your storytelling keeps me coming back. I wish you could do this for ancient history events, I'd be a historian by now 😅. Thank you for you and your team's hard work! 🙌
Ngl I feel like how the cops treated him when collecting him is a good thing. Knowing he is Autistic/ADHD can make it hard to predict how he will act. Keeping him calm and collected during the collection is always the best method, ending up having a panicked, overwhelmed person on the spectrum or not, will always hinder how much information you get from them after. He may have admitted to it, but they always need more information and evidence.
I was thinking the same thing. That it would be the best way to keep him calm and avoid any resistance and violence.
Oh Stephanie, I know I’m not alone when I say I am so proud of you for how professional and sensitive you handle yourself around outdated/problematic ideas.
same ‼️
😊😅😮😢
Mmmmm
A😅@@GarolTV
Such unforgivable negligence by the parents should be criminal. They were aware of school shootings like Columbine to second guess their assumption of their son. But nope “my son is being discriminated on his behavioral issues!” 🤦
As a Coloradan, we do not claim him. I have never been so happy to have an advertisement interrupt this story as a refresher. I am very happy to see that Warren will not ever be forgotten. Lastly Stephanie, you are such a classy woman for saying “may he live a very long life”. My brain immediately wanted to say worse. I love your videos. Great job to you and your researchers. ❤
Brian Cohee confessed that he wanted to target homeless people because he believed that they wouldn’t be missed.
So awful.
Yep and of all the homeless people in my community (I live in the community this happened in) this gentleman was well loved and well known with many people in the community keeping tabs on him. The moment he did not show up for his daily coffee with a shop owner on main street she reported him missing and wanted the police to check on him since he slept outside and it was cold this time of year and he was an older man.
How disgusting
Horrible! And also so wrong!
Brian was right about society generally not caring about the homeless.. sadly.
I hope more help will be given to homeless people after this case.
I saw the “goth girl IHOP meme” and considering all his actions- he took pride in being an “edge lord”. He obviously wanted to make people think “what the fuck?!”. Rip Warren, he seems like a great guy, I wish home nothing but peace in the afterlife.
what’s the time stamp?
He was edgy in the most obnoxious adn unfunny way. I agree with Stephanie, if I was at his school I would've thought he was trying to be cool while coming off as annoying.

There were teachers, psychologists, and *strangers* telling the parents the red flags they were seeing and they still chose to dismiss it. I understand ignoring the red flags two times, because it's your child,but the third time you gotta start paying attention and take action as a guardian/parent. It's your responsibility. This will protect your kid from themself and protect others.
The parents should have been held liable as well… they definitely ignored ALL the red flags. His mother is delusional
It wasn’t only the warnings, he himself would tell his parents messed up things all the time. They found a murder kit for crying out loud and still didn’t do anything of importance. They really should be held liable for this 100%
Exactly like the Crumbley parents- these parents should be charged for ignorging the red flags
Genuine question what were they supposed to do? They got him counseling, even if they called the police cause of the murder kit I doubt the police would have done anything.The counselors should have admitted him to a ward, they should have done anything. The parents tried to get him help and the mental health system failed him. if somebody is a danger to themselves or other people they’re supposed to end up in a mental health ward though the system failed him.
@@cosplaymistake 1)monitoring his online activities
2) monitoring his activities within his social circle (meeting his friends, hearing friends opinions about his interactions)
3) listened to his teachers and school staff when they warned them he was showing anti social behaviour and was disruptive/bully/violent
4) Absolutely send him to receive psychiatric help in a facility
5) not classify his disgusting threats or ‘jokes’ as normal behaviour
6)called the police when they found the murder kit. Yes the police won’t do much but still
6.5) Check his room/belongings. I’m sure they would have found more signs such as him murdering animals
7) not continue to bring small children in the home with a man who is clearly sociopathic
8) enrol him in physical activities or after school programs
There were so many ways they could have went about this situation, but they clearly kept coddling him and getting defensive whenever teachers or professionals shared their concerns. Those small things could have definitely brought a more impactful change.
Warren had such a beautiful soul, what a kind man.. may he rest in peace ❤
As a clinical psychologist, I was told children sometimes get labelled with autism because they are not old enough for personality disorders or other "adult" diagnoses. And because often autism is seen as less "heavy" so it's a way not to put heavier diagnosis on a child.
But then, of course, both can combine. One can have both autism and psychopathic traits, just like neurotypicals can have psychopathic traits.
My sense is that those violent traits are not part of autism, they are something else. And him talking about walls being able to hear him and other weirdness is also something else, not even personality disorder probably.
Important to remember that autism is not represented by this killer.
this comment deserves a few more thumbs up. Very important
Thank you for telling Warren's story, i cried for the loss of this man. It is so painful to think that their deaths are often overlooked simply for the crime of not having an address attached to his name.
As someone with ADHD, Major depressive disorder and someone on autism spectrum, thank you for making the disclaimer that not all of us are like this. What Brian did is absolutely disgusting and does not reflect us or the neurodivergent community in the slightest. Its crazy the kind of people that are out there
My grandson is same but he is taught to know that he is responsible for his actions 😮
It brings me so much happiness to know Warrens community loved him. It brings me even more joy he received justice unlike others 😢
Is the channel ok? No posts for a week now. 😢
I don’t usually cry when listening to these but I cried when you spoke about Warren and what kind of a person he is. I hope Warren is never forgotten, I certainly won’t forget him.
Yeah...I cried too. Warren was such a good person.
Homeless people have a special place in my heart. They’re just people who didn’t get back on their feet. Usually they just want the simplest things in life and aren’t a bother. May Warren rest in paradise.
perfectly said. totally agree ❤
I wish I had a lot of money to give them, but our family is in danger of going homeless ourselves, they seem like such sweethearts, Warren did NOT deserve that!
The memorial part of it..the seat outside the shop broke my heart. what a beautiful gesture. I love how he swore he was going for someone who didn't mean a thing to anyone, and how Warren is known and loved so so hard even after his passing. Brian will be forgotten and serves no purpose at all. but yes, I hope he lives a very long and terribly lonely life in that cell.
Rest in peace, Warren.
Girrrrrllllll your podcast get me through my work week! But no episode Sunday and now Wednesday I’m DYINGGG!! WHERE ARE YOU ARE YOU OKAY???
Can we all appreciate the fact that Steph is such a good storyteller. I feel so bad for the mom, and it feels like I’m in the moment
I feel an ounce of sympathy for her because her firstborn whom she loves dearly turned out to be a monster. However, she and her husband did to some level fail as parents when they didn’t report Brian’s actions of a k*ll kit, abusing other students, and psychopathic behavior. They only took MAJOR action when it was too little too late.
@@blueberrybabe4192I agree. I feel very little sympathy for the parents.
@blueberrybabe4192 because they were naive, most people would do the same in that situation, but they are significantly better than the numerous parents who help or at least cover up the murder their chikd committed.
Steph is excellent!
@@irishlegend5326 I highly doubt the naive part because there were PLENTY of warnings from his behavior and from the school. They chose to pull some wool over their eyes and don’t get brownie points for doing the bare minimum of not actively helping their son evade law enforcement.
Warren treated everyone with respect even to animals gave his limited food to the birds.. tried to enjoy his life despite being homeless made special bounds with people who care about him he sounds so selfless and respectful .. what an inspiring individual im so sad that his last moments were in agony and pain... the people got to know him were really lucky
I am so glad I found u... I just need to say... I think u are the best true crime story teller ....I love that u get the audience to feel like they are participating and love the fiancé in the background being in the audience.. asking the questions most of us are wondering :) u are truly very talented.
im all choked up, he sound like an amazing old man☹️🤍.
My heart aches for Warren Barnes. He was just living his best humble, simple, hardworking life and someone ripped it away from him. He sounded like how everyone in this lifetime should aspire to be. I bet Warren didn’t judge a book by its cover and we shouldn’t either. Many saw a scary homeless man and the purest people saw him as a human being that needed nothing in this world other than a book and a chair. ❤ RIP Warren ❤
I cried reading this!!😭😭😭
I wish cats would stop being the first victims of these people :((
I'm watching the episode while my cat is on my lap purring and I cried so much. I could only hold onto her and be thankful she's okay and well cared for. How could anyone even think about harming a cat let alone killing it I will never understand...
@TamaraNikolic8892 when I was watching his questioning I had to pause and go get my cat and hold her she was so annoyed lol
Why does it always start with murdering cats?!? It’s infuriating, heartbreaking. Like wow, you must feel SO strong after over powering an animal 10 times smaller than you 🙄
This guy was exhibiting so many alarming anti social behaviors not even related to his diagnoses.
@@juneboom_i think cos cats fight back and they love it when they fight back a little. And i think also cos cats sound like human babies and not as loud as perhaps dogs. More stray cats too than stray dogs.
@@JaFlorendo Id imagine they’re easier to carry or find. I don’t think it’s easy to find small dogs that can be carried
