Weeks later, the 41-year-old's badly decomposed body was found nude in a local drainage ditch.Īndre Burgos, the former boyfriend of Warner’s teenage daughter, reported seeing a man who looked like Lee watching the family’s house prior to Warner’s death, according to WAFB. While Lee was a suspect in the case, no charges were ever filed against him, and no further evidence tying him to the crime has ever been found.

"We believe in our hearts that he killed Connie, but we can’t prove it,” Zachary Police Chief David McDavid told Louisiana’s Advocate newspaper in 2016. Lee was also considered a suspect in a 1993 assault on a young couple in a Zachary graveyard. The couple was alone in their car when they were attacked by a man with a machete, nearly severing one of their feet. Years later, survivor Michelle Chapman picked Lee out of a police photo lineup, but by then, the statute of limitations for the crime had expired, according to the Advocate. Randi Mebruer, 28, lived in the same sub-division as Warner and was abducted in April 1998. There were signs of a violent struggle and a trail of blood winding through her home. To this day, Mebruer’s body has never been recovered. Missing from Warner, Champman, and Mebruer crime scenes were the victims’ keys, leading investigators to believe the killer was taking them as souvenirs, McDavid told the Advocate.

In September 2001, Gina Wilson Green, 40, was found raped and strangled to death in her home near Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
