Summary

In June 2003, five-year-old LeeAnna Warner suddenly went missing after going off to play with a friend. Even after the entire town got involved with the search effort, there was no break in the case; no one could find the little girl. A neighbor who lived down the street was separately charged after police found CP on his computer, but he took his own life before he could be truly questioned. To this day, LeeAnna's whereabouts are a mystery, but her family still holds on to hope.

Anytime we talk about a case that involves children it's really, really hard, but it is also very important. And specifically, we're going to be talking about the case of missing five-year-old, Leanna Warner Warner who disappeared back in 2003 and to this day is still

considered to be missing. However I wanted to talk about it because their family has
