Details of Disappearance

Warner was last seen in Mansfield, Ohio on the evening of November 14, 2011. He was riding his bicycle in the rain behind the former Ohio Brass building when a police officer attempted to stop him; there had been several scrap metal thefts in the area.

Warner fled on his bicycle, then jumped off of it and began running away. In the dark and the downpour he apparently didn't see the drop-off into Touby Run, a nearby creek which was running higher and faster than usual due to recent rains. The officer heard Warner cry out as he fell into the creek, but never actually saw him in the water.

Police walked along the banks of Touby Run, but didn't see any sign of Warner. Weather conditions at the time were too bad for divers or a police helicopter to search. Warner can't swim and is presumed to have drowned in the creek, but his body has never been recovered.
