I was just wondering if there was ever an update or if the case was ever solved about the kid that was discovered hanging and it was ruled a suicide by police. But after a series of sketchy police decisions and circumstances and after being sent pictures of her son to her doorstep where clothes that were not his, the mother of the victim is trying to have this re-opened as a homicide investigation. Does anyone have any other information or an opinion?

His name was Keith Warren. I definitely think he was murdered. If you do a search under his name on the forum it seems that months ago someone posted who was close to the family and said there hadn't been any new developments in the case.

I agree, ans say he was murdered. They said he hung himself, and I don't belive that theory. I think Those "Friends" of his that were looking for Keith killed him.

possible or they knew who killed him.. but the better question is what could have been killed for?? UM did a good job portraying him as a pretty straight laced kid.. even his pictures seemed to personify him as a straight laced kid. Perhaps Keith knew or saw something that he shouldn't have.. or maybe he did something to someone unknowingly to offend them and there reaction was to kill him. All I know is that who ever hung him in that tree was very methodical.

That's a question I've asked myself time and time again. They knew what they were doing and anyone who is blind can see, that no way in the world could he have taken all of that time connecting the rope from one tree to another in order to hang himself. And on top of that, with the amount of chemicals in which were found in his system, I'm not buying it.

The Rodney guy (the one who was looking for Keith, but wasn't his friend) was always suspsicous to me. He was the same guy who was found dead from breaking his neck while on a bike.

Just a theory of mine, Rodney threw out Keith's name as an alias to get some kind of gain (drugs,fraud). Rodney wanted to warn Keith he/rodney screwed up and Keith was going to get hurt or so Keith could verify his story/scheme.


That seems like a way to complex way to hang oneself, and then there is is a ae asphyscication scenario gone wrong(in the interest of a family friendly forum I don't want to get into detail explanation but hopefully most of you know what I'm talking about) , but even that seems way too elaborate unless Keith thought his weight would break the tree but it more likely would have broke his neck first.

The police definately BUNGLED it:(

UMLongtimefan, you're thinking of Mark Finley. I must say that it's a coincidence that he just happened to die in an accident (which a part of me strongly doubts that it was) not too long after he had been on the search for Keith.

Thanks Sitcoms for the correction! Mark Finley!Mark Finley! i think I got it now
