Virtually everyday, Warren Barnes could be found in downtown Grand Junction.
He enjoyed feeding the birds and as an avid reader, he always had a book in hand. Over the past two weeks his absence is being felt by those who knew him.
On Saturday, Feb. 27, Barnes was murdered. When he didnât show up for work the following Monday many of those people were concerned.
It wasnât like him to not show up for his temporary job.
Monique Lanotti, owner of Moniqueâs Bridal in downtown Grand Junction, knew something was wrong.
âI got a call from the temporary place that he worked,â Lanotti said. âThey said he hadnât shown up for work and immediately thatâs a red flag because Warren never missed work.â
