When 19-year-old Brian Cohee Jr. drove his car into the Colorado River, his parents thought it was just a mistake. But a day later, his mother made a chilling 911 call: she’d found something in his closet that no parent should ever see. As police began digging into Brian’s story, a missing person report came in—Warren Barnes, a kind and quiet man known around town for always having his nose in a paperback, hadn’t been seen in days. What unfolded next was a horrifying confession, spoken with a smile, by a teenager who’d been fantasizing about murder for years. Allison tells us the rest of this story.
