An investigation revealed that Middlebrook and McIntosh had known Warren for the past few months, according to Bullhead City police.
Detectives found that the couple had expressed distaste for registered sex offenders and had planned the homicide in advance. According to a release, the couple reportedly chose in advance the desert location where they intended to leave Warren’s body. They also reportedly measured furniture and beds that could be large enough to cover the body along the side of the road.
Warren was a registered Level 2 sex offender, according to police.
Middlebrook and McIntosh are being held at the Clark County Detention Center, awaiting extradition to Mohave County.
Bullhead City Police Chief Paul George also shared a statement on social media about the department’s notifications on registered sex offenders.
“When a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into our area or, more commonly, changes addresses, the Bullhead City Police Department shares that information as a public service to help keep residents informed,” George said. “While required notifications are mailed to residents living within an approximate 1,000 feet radius of an offender’s registered address, we go a step further by sharing these notifications on social media to reach a broader audience. Our goal is to provide information, not create fear or alarm. We believe an informed community is a safer community.”
“However, we want to be clear that we will not tolerate anyone using this information as a reason to threaten, intimidate, harass or harm another person,” George said. “Our Bureau of Criminal Investigations conducts monthly address verification checks to help ensure registered sex offenders are complying with registration requirements. Our responsibility is to protect our community, keep residents informed and to enforce the law. We take all three of these seriously.”
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
