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.

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.

[hanamiya_hm]

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.

[melaniefletcher]

The description of Warren made me tear up. Because he was actually well loved in the community, had this whole life despite being homeless. And some man comes around and just killed him like he was nothing. Like he was supposed to mean nothing. The fact the citizens made a memorial for him is so sweet, and I think you worded it best; Warren will never be forgotten, but Brian Cohee will.

[psychologist.victoria.kesseli]

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.

[chrissylekas]

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

[hometown]

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.

[Aicksyd]

Thank you for telling the victim's story, it is THE most important part of true crime that is often left behind.

[heysitti]

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.

[yunahstan]

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.

[vampiricsoliloquy]

Warren sounded like the nicest, kindest man. He never deserved anything that happened to him.

[Elaine.TheMobileNotary]

What is wrong with the mother???? That woman is diffinately DELLUSIONAL. She had all the and failed getting her son proper help. YET she begs the court to be easy??? Brian deserved life with no opportunity for parole. He has no remorse and wanted to follow the serial murderers.
Yes, no parent wants a murderous son/daughter, but one must be held accountable. I can't believe the mom tried to cover his actions...what about Warren? What about showing sympathy to his family? What her son did was intended cold blooded murder. He also would have killed more.

Warren rest peacefully. You were a very kind man

[Acedoutspace]

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.

[JigokuShoujo_]

Bless the woman who reported Warren missing!
Like I feel that literally thanks to her, he was found. RIP Warren!

[ebbalundhgren]

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.

[carrie]

He is a psychopath! His parents were in complete denial.. I would be terrified to live in the same house as that man

[angeldaniel]

Brian Cohee Jr. was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

[KK-bloc]

The fact that he treated the interrogation so lightly made me feel VERY disturbed.

[Sinlorraine]

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??

[Redflagnabbimahazardsign]

Im an adult with autism, n have ocd, so my mind is funky, but ya know what i do with that funk?
I take a nap, i go for a walk (away from ppl) i talk to my therapist,
I don't go looking to cause harm

Im so absolutely disgusted that they are claiming this to be autism, this is just a rotten soul
