Disturbed Teenager Caught with Human Head in Closet | Warren Barnes & Brian Cohee Case Analysis 

The Mom got him not the clueless cops.

@@robertgiles9124 Exactly!

@@robertgiles9124the cops were the dumbest most useless mfs I’ve seen. I can’t believe they didn’t press him on the blood

@robertgiles9124 You know nothing about this case. The cops weren’t clueless. There wasn’t even a body found until the mom found the head wrapped up in a bag in his closet.

​@awill3454 well in reality they did not have a clue. That is the meaning of cluelessness. Their clue to link him to the murder was provided by his mother. In this context, the word clueless is used correctly, however you are offended by it because it is often used as a euphemism for stupid. The word's misuse is not your fault.

His poor mother is psychologically broken, I felt bad for her as she made the horrible discovery.

IMHO, he should have been sentenced to state hospital and not the state penitentiary.

For creating that lunatic you mean.

​@@10191927good lord, usually moms find some weed maybe some porn, imagine finding a human head. I heard the mom is real messed up and had to be hospitalized. Poor lady

@@tarstarkusz Couldn’t agree more . Poor parents💔💔…

That's not really ironic.

@@eadweard. What a strange thing to get worked up over from my comment. You don’t get out much do you?

@@BigFrogg Regardless, it's not ironic.

@@eadweard. Irony, third definition. "Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs". It's definitely Ironic. He expected not to be caught because he assumed nobody would care, yet was caught because people did care.

@@crystalwater505 Yes. So if the sky's clear when you leave the house, but you get rained on anyway, that's ironic is it?

Most people that check those boxes are not violent.

God bless you. That’s rough. My brilliant nephew is on the spectrum. He’s doing so well. I’m so grateful for y’all.

I don't think it's the disorder itself. It seems like the parents didn't emphasize, any of his disorders, or kinda "masked them", yk wht I mean? Kinda puffing him up, feeding his ego. I do also believe he was narcissistic, and possessed. I watched all the videos, the interview after he was caught, was disgusting. I think in a sense, his parents were in denial, and he was able to manipulate them with. While everyone else warned them, he assured his mom it was in a joking manner. He uses his "IQ" and the intellectual aspect of HiFunc Asperger's, but refuses to acknowledge having it. They even admitted the docs diagnosed him with schizophrenia, but refused to admit that he was, claiming the docs were against them, misdiagnosing him.

Same. Was misdiagnosed with avoidant PD as a teenager and have always been deeply depressed.

Glad you’re doing well in life. Thats good to hear.

Yeah, but mostly because of the he left the guys wallet is his car part. 🤦‍♂😂

@@28russ People were looking for Warren, though. He was valued by the community.

Unfortunately a lot people with murderous intentions think that no one would miss a homeless person or a sex worker. They treat them as if they are not human and deserve to live.

I live in the town and he’s like, known among the homeless by a few people I know. There’s a few that just want to be separate from society and I don’t blame them.

Old one

Brian but yeah. Lol

😂

Glad he specified what got him arrested, at first I was confused why they placed him under arrest.

classic Dr Grande " mostly because of the murder part".

Hmmm, that's exactly what someone with a closet full of human heads would say 🤔

Yet

sounds like fungus mold problem.

Good for you!! Stay the course.

I also have ADHD, and probably ASD (not officially diagnosed on that yet). Definitely no human heads anywhere in my house.

I mean, thye found a well used lovedoll and were not so pleased. I was a MILF model looking like my lovely mother.

I had a strict christian mom and I had to hide my rock and metal CDs.

@@MakerInMotion🤘☹️🖤

​@@MakerInMotion Sounds like that mother from Detroit Rock City.

lol I'd be disgusted

Where is the interview? Is it streaming somewhere?

@@sdsurfgirl60 explore with us, youtube channel

Me too. The interview was... something....

Not calm really, more excited like he was proud of it. His level of detail of the crime points very much to someone with ASD so that diagnosis seems correct. He was also taking a SSRI medication which can be *really* *bad* for someone with ASD and may cause psychotic behavior. Whether or not it's correlated, who knows and probably no one will look in to it.

​@@sdsurfgirl60 It' super disconcerting... He really was well-studied on the morbid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-urpa7nezbXA.html

Yes, it's so sad how the homeless are looked down upon. My dad was homeless in the end of his life. He just wanted to live in a van. But he was a cool dude, known well in the community.

Great analysis captain obvious😀

He literally got life sentence

free my mans

He very clearly enjoyed doing it. He’s sadistic. Fortunately for everyone he’s behind bars where he belongs.

​@apml1992 a life sentence is not the same as life without parole, which is what Brian got. In most states a life sentence is 25-30 years.

how disturbing for the parents of the daycare kids.

That’s no way she didn’t know.

My thoughts exactly!!! I think God l never sent my child to childcare ever!!

To be fair I think she was totally blind to the red flags of her sons weirdness. I don’t think she willfully or carelessly jeopardized the kids- I think she genuinely didn’t understand what a freak her son was. She did call the cops on him immediately, after all- she wasn’t protecting him once she knew…

People get into a line of work when they're younger, and don't know any other way to financially support themselves. She lives in the middle of nowhere. The fact that she called 911 immediately, shows she has morals

Yeah right, you never watched that documentary

@@SwashbucklingToday damn you got me

Yeah he thought he was Gonna get 15 years.

i watched it too. that kid is truly horrifying. you are right about him being proud of himself when talking to cops. i do have to give those detectives props tho because they knew exactly how to handle him. they couldn't show disgust or shock because he might have quit talking. instead they made it seem like they were in awe of what he did/how he did it. i watch a shit ton of true crime and don't get bothered by much but if I had to sit across from him and see his amusement and laughter at his retelling of the crime, I think my skin would have been crawling!!

@@scorpion-lg4ic I doubt that

Sooo sad and yes there should. Everyone deserves dignity respect and a safe life

What was decriminalized that made such a difference?

I don't know where you live but in most places beating people (assault), doing drugs and theft are illegal Must be New York lol

i wanted to tell you that your parents sound like wonderful people who raised you well. your words were so respectful of that gentleman in the park & it's awesome that your mom was so kind as to give him her phone number for emergencies like the vet. i was once homeless during a very difficult time in my life. it's nothing you can imagine or plan for. I met so many honest, kind, wonderful people in the homeless camps. i was accepted into the group with no problems & was guided in my first few days where to get a hot meal, take a shower, do laundry, sign up for resources to try to better my situation etc. there was zero judgement, only acceptance. except from mainstream society. 90 percent of people would treat a homeless person like they were shit on the bottom of their shoe so it was nice to read that you and your family are better than that. thank you for showing such kindness in this terrible world. many people should take a lesson from you!!

There are laws to detain people who are/have beaten other people. It's called assault lol

I saw that too! Unbelievable!!!

I watched it too. He was totally enjoying his little performance. You can tell that he thinks he's the smartest guy in the world.

@@DonBurtonsays... I’m an autistic woman and I would never trust an autistic man. I’ve tried entering relationships with them and all the ones I’ve dealt with… they’re all the same, just like this guy. They think they’re the smartest people ever They have a short fuse and when they meltdown, violence ensues Legitimate lack of empathy I hope I can meet an autistic man that’s different but I’m doubtful. It’s easier dealing with female autists and neurotypical people.

I watched it too. The boy ain’t right that’s for sure.

That we know of… I wonder if any children or other homeless people went missing or died under off circumstances in his area. There was a woman in the UK who started killing as a child of 8 or 9 but everyone thought the children who died in her vicinity died of accidents or natural causes. It wasn’t until she killed as a young adult that they connected the dots.

@@Catmom-gl5nt He didn't seem to be smart enough to have gotten away with other murders.

That we're aware of....

@@Catmom-gl5ntcan you remember her name?

@@Catmom-gl5ntyup! that we know of!

😬 yikes

Take care from people with BPD they’re just like this kid waiting for anything to hurt. Then they’ll blame it on bpd.

​@@camijacobv weird, this guy didn't have BPD, didn't appear manic or depressive, and took full responsibility for it.

@@AboveAverageGamer1 I don’t mean to say this dude had BPD but in my experience people with BPD have breakdowns or outbursts or crisis where they act full psycho, to me it seems like these are bad people who found a diagnostic to throw around and excuse themselves for their lack of control (when in reality they know what they’re doing they just wanna do it and get away w it cuz thats how they feeeel 🥺)

​@@camijacobv People with bpd aren't necessarily violent and BPD doesn't make someone violent, although people with BPD CAN certainly be violent the way you're describing BPD is very inaccurate. People with BPD are not waiting for anything to hurt, if they are, they definitely have another disorder alongside the BPD if they even have BPD at all. Not only that but being a sociopath and having BPD are completely different because people with BPD have empathy and feel it strongly, unlike people with ASPD who have a limited capacity for empathy.

Complete idiot he is 😂

Must be the ADHD lol

He studied forensics for a while so he knew exactly what to do. He was very detail-oriented and was very percisce in the way he killed Warren Barnes. Everything was done for a reason.

I was thinking the same. A bad seed.

Bad Seed exactly!

@@adjohnson9897 bad seeds come from bad parents

@@davidgray1515 Usually, but not always. That gets into the eternal nature vs. nurture debate.

​@@davidwilliams5407it's obvious in this case, I'm kinda like the kid here so don't tell me otherwise please 😂

I can't believe she carried the bag into the kitchen arghhh poor mum n dad

Not only that, but she’s stuck with the memories of the little boy that Brian once was. She’s stuck with the memory of holding her newborn son for the first time. Watching him take his first steps. His first day of school. All of those sweet memories only for him to turn into a monster. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it is for her to cope.

That’s a different way of looking at it.

His mother’s job as a daycare owner was surely destroyed. She had to call the parents and have them pickup the kids bc she had found the head in his closet. Imagine. Just imagine. That poor woman.

I agree. Some seed should have never made it to the egg

A lot of officers are psychopaths...

I believe his mom told the investigators that he wanted to join the military.

It is very typical for killers to be in/aspire to be in the military and law enforcement because they are positions of power; typically the killer is lacking power and seeks it in any form they can.

There is a lot of mentally ill people who are not serial killers. This man has a personality disorder of antisocial and conduct. He is true evil. Should be in isolation for the rest of his life and raw in jail.

Most of the mentally ill are usually the victims not the perpetrators.

Me too

Me three!

Is that the kid that stabbed his friend in the boys bathroom before his school classes started? That was disturbing af

Me four.

I co facilitated a support group at a local domestic violence shelter where cheistian Fernandez mother was staying and participating in at the time. THis was after sentencing

same it’s so catchy

lol true!

i been practicing it for a while , almost have it perfected 🤌🏼😂😂😂

You have to do the side-eye thing when he says, "only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this." He always looks to the side when he says that, like he's hinting that it's a little more than a speculation.

@@alukuhitohmmm. 🕵️‍♀️ r u the next weirdo

Yeah right I doubt you ever watched any of his videos

There are many "mentally healthy" adults who think that about homeless people.

Totally agree. It’s hard enough living on the streets. I’ve been homeless and I can say it was the worst time in my life. RIP to Warren.

@@wolfe6220 Thank God 💜💟💜

A homeless man was not Brian's only option for a victim. He had considered many but was waiting on the one whom he believed was most vulnerable. His victim selection was not based on his feeling a homeless person is useless or not a person. He was aware that Warren Barnes was a person, which does not make the case much better, but his criteria were vulnerability and ease of which to get away, not his emotional perception of them.

That's why he covered it.

It's not my fault my father is mafia yeah there is always a reason to learn chemistry.......

I always think about the first responders when things like this happen, mass shootings, wrecks, etc. I'm sure they see stuff they can never unsee.

No the mom who found the head will have nightmares, totally unexpected for her.

They definitely are. There’s a mix of them; As I’m sure you know, there are nature/nurture/nature+nurture. Physiological or psychological. Either one or mix… It’s so unsettling.. same outcome. Horrid world we live in… good people.. innocent folk… they suffer and become victims. Either corporations, governments, extremist ignorant jerks, or just sick people .. they get off on it… it makes me so anxious to go out. Makes me sad. I wish humanity had more hope and decent people :(. We all need to work together to help one another and stop real threats. Not fake ones or fear mongering but real core issues and real threats. It is just horrible that people are capable of such malum in se. Torture and pleasure from it… like wtf. Honestly. I’m like traumatized from the online videos like that funkytown Central America one… how can people do that?!?! And get pleasure from it… it’s terrifying. We must be prepared. People are too sheltered and think nothing will ever happen to them…

Half the population now claims to have either ADHD or autism. So many that there terms have lost all meaning and value.🙄

Not heard about that before, I can only imagine that the children were profoundly abused virtually from before birth on order to do something like that.

@@penelopehughes-jones5265 I work in an inner city middle school, and I can tell you that so many of these kids grow up in violence, witnessing the adults in their lives fighting, hearing gunshots or seeing someone shot and killed, listening to music that glorifies murder and violence… it’s legit a part of their norm. They fight and bring weapons to school, some are already wearing ankle monitors and/or on probation, they’re already smoking weed, many have made sex videos and they regard sex very casually… I said that to say there’s a whole generation of groups of middle school kids not growing up how we think of kids that age. They’re violent and callous.

You should probably be fired.​@@bigmona2741

Ive heard many many horror stories about the actions of autistic kids. No one EVER disciplines them for anything. They become so horrible that you cant stand to be around them.

Yeah, like me. I have ADHD, ASD, and major depressive disorder diagnoses…but I have no desire to commit violent crime. I like watching true crime stuff, but I do it while knitting or sketching.

​@@davidgray1515 wtffffff this comment is so uneducated it can't be real...

​@@mxnjonesSame for me!!

​@@davidgray1515and on the other side many of us are horribly traumatised by the actions taken to "tame" us. But hey, at least we didn't cut anyone's head off 😬

Anti social personality has nothing to do with whether they have relationships with family or friends. They don't care if they break the law, and when they do they have no remorse. They don't care who they have to hurt to accomplish their goals. They can be glib and charming and manipulative.

He was not antisocial. He had social skills that needed a little bit of work, but he was not antisocial. The struggle he had and the murder he committed had nothing to do with anyone else and only to do with him. He hated his parents so he would never have gone to them for help, but his internal struggle is something that he would not show to people because it was so personal and he knew he'd get in trouble.

@@malinnicole6677 ASPD has nothing to do with social skills. A person with antisocial personality disorder will lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others. He did all of these.

@@wolfe6220 Being antisocial and having antisocial personality disorder are two different things. To be diagnosed with ASPD one must first show signs or be diagnosed with a conduct disorder before the age of 15. In Brian, that is not present. You jave the right idea about what ASPD is, but you are missing key features that will allow you to correctly describe it and use it as evidence.

Fairly low.

There is a chance for that to happen. Many don't want to work for a change or a solution until after someone is dead, but looking at the situation a different way, a humanistic way, is a start on how to look past surface actions and get to the root of the problems. "Sicko" is only one reason why this will never change.

There was a period where he did fight it. He had been feeling this way for years and never acted on his urges until 2021. He heard from documentaries and such of serial killers that murder is a great feeling and he wanted to try it; he was able to fight it off, but eventually he started seeing pieces of himself in serial killers and his curiosity overwhelmed him.

@@malinnicole6677 and did his inner struggle manifest itself as he smilled and *laughed* during interrogation ?

@@wrosebrock He has poor social cues and the adrenaline from that grand experience had not worn off yet. He has been told he's callous and shallow, but his inner struggle had been sated since he experienced the high that he had been missing. He had given into his urges when he murdered Warren Barnes, so the laughing and smiling is quite irrelevant to his struggle at that moment. At that point, I do not think it would be considered an interrogation since he was confessing everything; I'd consider it an interview.

Not even close. Look at the dean corll case.

​@@progradepainting3755is he a serial killer? Never heard of him before.

@@Danko31 I’ve looked into these cases for many, many years, and I only discovered his case within the last year or so. He’s quite possibly the worst serial killer that’s ever lived.

@@progradepainting3755 that's terrifying and disturbing.

@@progradepainting3755 Yikes, what a twisted man. I wonder why he's relatively unknown?

That's how they got a confession. He wasn't resisting and cooperated.

@heh2k , That may be so, but very risky having the female officer walk him back to the patrol car by herself.

It would be an unwise decision on the police's part if they cuffed him when he is being extremely calm and cooperative. Doing so could provoke him and put everyone in a dangerous situation, letting him retain a bit of freedom shows a level of trust the police are giving him. This trust makes Brian more at ease and likely to do things the easy way and give the police everything they need.

Everyone knows this _after_ they learn he's a psychopath.

His eyes look soulless and hollow

To be honest he looks like your average nerd.

On the outside, Brian is no different from anyone else, society uses looks to condemn someone after the fact and make themselves feel better. The truth is, looks do not predict things like this. Ted Bundy, Dennis Rader, and John Wayne Gacy were all people who were killed but who were pillars of the community, people who were never considered to be killers. Superficial judgments like this are part of the reason why more killers will emerge ad society gets farther and farther away from making an impact and helping people.

Just by lifetime observation I don't think mental health counseling helps as many people as we would like or as indicated

He does, however, this was when he was still on the high from the so-called amazing experience that he heard about from serial killers. Being in jail for three years can certainly impact someone and make them reflect on their life and their choices, good and bad. None of this takes away from what he did and the horror of it, but people can change and while it may take decades, people can be on the train toward redemption and feel remorse.

There are thousands and thousands of disturbed kids who never end up killing anyone.

Probably because this guy's parents turned him in, but the Crumbly kid's parents drained their bank accounts and tried to go on the run. Consciousness of guilt.

Because most parents who have mentally unstable children do nothing. (Usually they caused the instability) To charge the parents would change legal precedent and shock society (by forcing parents to take more responsibility) Most parents are unable to take that level of responsibility. (That's also not even considering we don't have enough funds/proper mental health care to help everyone.) Basically, it's 'too much burden ' for our unhealthy society to handle at the moment. Hopefully things will evolve in our future. 😞 Stay safe everyone and take care of your mental health!!!

@@sarahw7616 With Ethan Crumbley's parents, they were told that he was drawing guns and dead people on his papers and writing about how he wanted to kill people. His guidance counselors brought his parents in for a meeting about this and they blatantly ignored them, so I will have to respectfully disagree with your statement that Brian's parents had more warning signs than Crumbley's parents did.

He has a few social skill deficiencies and is a straightforward person, so it is not too surprising that he would be so frank and up front. Plus, he knew he was caught. It is better to own up to it than play games.

Didn't he get a head?

@@Hatbox948 and two hands?

His lack of empathy and propensity for violence is perhaps rooted in sociopathy instead of autism.

@@Sikanda. most definitely. The myth of autistic people lacking empathy comes from us not being able to express it because we don’t know how. I am autistic but I am highly empathetic. My boyfriend is also autistic and is also quite empathetic. We both appear cold and uncaring because we cannot properly express our emotions. Cohee definitely had some other condition that perpetrated his lack of empathy.

The part where he says, "oh, a human head and hands" is like wth is up with this kid

Watch the interview

You *must* watch the interrogation!! You can find it by searching for it but Explore With Us recently did a video with additional body cam footage. *Very* interesting.

@Rebecca-hc5ju thanks so much for letting me know lovely! Sitting on a train in Sydney Australia travelling home after a night out in the City...this will defo be watched on the haul home ❤️❤️💗 T Y !

I totally get what you’re saying; he is a try-hard.

i thought the same thing, it's almost super irritating. i don't think he has a strong sense of self and made up his own persona based on other serial killers he found to be "interesting"

Error 404 day is appropriate because my last comment got deleted! 😅

@@birdworldist Oh no! I was put in RU-vid comment jail yesterday, so that's sort of appropriate too!
