In the quiet shadows of Grand Junction, Colorado, a man known simply as the Reading Man found his spot each day, chair set against the wall of a bridal shop, book open, world passing by unnoticed.

Warren Barnes lived on the edges, a gentle fixture in a downtown where very few paused for him.

What began as a simple missing person’s call ended in unimaginable violence. The details, much darker than most can bear.

On this episode, we step into the silence Warren left behind... and the horror that replaced it.
