S03E28: The Secret Cooler-The Suffering of Kelly-Jien Warner

View show details

On the night of May 22, 2019, police were alerted to an apartment lived in by 35-year-old Wade Allen on North Maple Street in Sturgis, Michigan. A report came in about Wade storing his girlfriend's body in his apartment. As police searched the apartment, Wade grew increasingly uncooperative, especially when officers asked to look inside a large cooler sitting in his living room. When officers finally gained access, they discovered the dismembered remains of 42-year-old Kelly Jein "KJ" Warner.
Wade asserted Kelly had died after a brain injury she sustained while making cereal and fainting in the kitchen, but the truth of KJ's brutal torture and murder came out when Wade bragged to his cellmates in prison about what he actually did to KJ.
