LeeAnna Warner was a young American girl who disappeared from the city of Chisholm, Minnesota, on June 14, 2003, in a suspected abduction and murder.

[1] Although there is no concrete evidence that LeeAnna was kidnapped, the police argue that it is the more realistic option, believing that they would have found her if she had simply wandered off.

Despite Kaelin's protests that LeeAnna needed to rest, her daughter decided that she wanted to go play with her friend, who lived only a few streets away.

[6] They checked garages, barns, sheds and abandoned iron ore mines in the hopes that LeeAnna had simply wandered off and gotten lost.

In the weeks following her disappearance, authorities held an extensive search that included helicopters and bloodhounds, but by the end of the month they were not any closer to finding LeeAnna.

The Chisholm Police Department had the lake drained in an attempt to locate LeeAnna or her body, but they found no other evidence of her being there.

In the summer of 2004, the authorities began a new search of Chisholm in another effort to find LeeAnna's remains, but no new evidence surfaced.

Years after LeeAnna's disappearance, Kaelin and Christopher moved away from Chisholm to try and start fresh, claiming the town no longer felt safe, or like home, to them.

[9] One of the main suspects that was identified as potentially having a role in LeeAnna's disappearance was a man by the name of Matthew James Curtis, who was aged 24 at the time.

[3] Due to his prior charges and his proximity to LeeAnna, authorities suspected that Curtis had played a role in the young girl's disappearance.

[3] In September 2003, the day before he was supposed to appear in the local court for the child pornography charges, Curtis' corpse was found in his pickup truck, a few miles out of Chisholm.

[3] However, there was a great deal of speculation and controversy surrounding his death, with some believing that Curtis was murdered and that his body was positioned to make it look like a suicide.

Joseph Edward Duncan III was a convicted sex offender who was accused of kidnapping two children in Idaho.

One afternoon LeeAnna's parents came home to her playing with a case filled with Barbie dolls and their clothes, despite them never having purchased the toys for her.

"[11] A week prior to her disappearance, LeeAnna packed a suitcase with all her favorite things and told her parents that she wanted to go live at her new family's house.

Around the same time, witnesses identified a maroon and blue Cadillac that was driven by an African-American man who appeared to be in his twenties or thirties and had a bald or shaven head.

There were also accounts of an unfamiliar older-model rusty brown pickup truck that was driven by a Caucasian man with black curly hair.
