Life Sentence for Accomplice in 2016 Disappearance and Death Case

Jonathan Alexander Warren received a life sentence without parole for his involvement in the death and disappearance of Morgan Bauer, a 19-year-old missing since 2016.

Warren, who pleaded guilty to charges including malice murder and necrophilia, was arrested alongside Katelyn Goble in August 2023. Goble’s indictment is pending.

The case gained renewed attention in July 2023 when new evidence led authorities to a Newton County property during search efforts for Bauer, who vanished just two weeks after relocating from South Dakota to Georgia.
