Brian Cohee II was a troubled teen who suffered from mental disorders and was interested in “death and morbidity.

In February 2021, after a movie night with his parents, Brian left their home in search of a victim. He came across a homeless man named Warren Barnes sleeping under a bridge. Brian stabbed Warren multiple times with a kitchen knife before decapitating and dismembering him. Brian put Warren’s head and hands in a bag and took them home with him - stashing them in his closet .

Brian’s mother Terri came across the bag covered in maggots days later. She called police immediately and they arrived to question Brian. There is infamous shocking footage of Brian confidently admitting to the murder.

“Police, they don’t seem to care as much about high-risk individuals: homeless people, prostitutes, etc,” he said. “So I was deliberately looking for someone who lived that type of life.”

“I’m like, that’s a homeless person, so I grabbed my knife, I put on three layers of gloves because plastic gloves can betray their users because they’re so thin…I took the knife, I pulled back the canvas and I stabbed his neck,” he later said.
