Teen Keeps Murder Victim’s Head in His Closet, Then Tells Cops It Was “Easier Than Expected” | Brian Cohee

from Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide · host Ky Charles

A mother goes to clean her son’s closet… and instead finds two bags so heavy, so wrong that she can’t bring herself to open the second layer. Minutes later, police arrive—and 19-year-old Brian Cohee calmly tells them exactly what they’re about to find.A human head and human hands.And the name of the man they belonged to: Warren Barnes, a beloved figure known around Grand Junction as “the reading man.”What Cohee says next is even worse,“I murdered him. I always wondered what murder felt like.”This episode traces the night Warren was killed, the months of planning behind it, and the trial that exposed a terrifying level of curiosity turned deadly.************************************************************************************************Podcast Promo: Darkcast Network*************************************************************************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you’d like to hear about?
