Two articles copy and pasted onto this blog one of which can only be accessed in archives as pay per view.

Sheree has been missing almost 25 years. Come home soon.

Sheree has been missing for 30 years now.

Her boyfriend at the time, Cary Hartmann, told investigators that he was willing to cooperate in regards to her disappearance. He said this at his parole hearing in 2005. I think he is still incarcerated so I'm assuming he changed his mind when he was not granted parole. Or perhaps the information he did volunteer wasn't substantial enough.

Another person of interest, Douglas Lovell, was recently sentenced to death for the murder of Joyce Yost. He was questioned in Warren's disappearance (and the disappearance of Theresa Greaves, whose remains were discovered this year) but he has denied involvement for both of these cases.

[h=3]Details of Disappearance[/h] Warren was last seen at approximately 6:30 p.m. on October 2, 1985 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was leaving the Utah State Employees Credit Union, where she was in management training, at the time. She and a coworker walked across the parking lot to their respective vehicles.

Warren never arrived home at her family's residence in Roy, Utah that evening and has not been seen again. Her car was discovered in the parking lot of the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 11, 1985, over one month after her initial disappearance. The vehicle appeared to have been parked at the location for some time prior to discovery. There was no trace of Warren at the scene.

Warren's boyfriend at the time of her 1985 disappearance, Cary Hartmann, a former reserve police officer, was later revealed to be a serial rapist and was imprisoned. At his 2005 parole hearing, he stated he was willing to cooperate with authorities regarding Warren's disappearance. Hartmann is still incarcerated and has never been connected to her case.

Douglas Lovell was questioned in Warren's disappearance in 1993, and in the 1983 disappearance of another Utah woman, Theresa Greaves. Lovell pleaded guilty to the 1985 murder of Joyce Yost, stating he had killed her to keep her from testifying against him in a rape case. Her body was never found.

He was sentenced to death, but his guilty plea was overturned on a technicality in 2010. He was convicted of murder at trial in April 2015 and sentenced to death a second time. Lovell maintains his innocence in Greaves and Warren's cases and was cooperative with investigators. Greaves's remains were discovered in 2015; her death is under investigation.

Warren left behind a young son, whom her family said she would have never abandoned. Her family had her declared legally deceased in the 1990s, but her case remains open and unsolved.

I'm really impressed that someone in Sheree's life knew not only the exact outfit she was last seen wearing, but the sizes of everything and that she carried precisely 15 keys!

You get these cases where nobody even knows the precise MONTH someone went missing; then you get these with that kind of level of detail. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped in this case.

Sheree L. Warren – The Charley Project

Another prominent theory centers on the idea the body could be that of Sheree Warren, a missing woman from Roy, who disappeared less than two months after Yost. Police believe Warren is dead but have never been able to locate her remains.

Documents obtained by "Cold" through an open records request reveal the initial detective assigned to Warren's case received information that Warren's boyfriend, Cary Hartmann, was spotted in Guildersleeve Canyon southeast of Causey just days following her disappearance.

The records show another source told police he'd loaned Hartmann a key to the gate for Causey Estates, a cabin community adjacent to the reservoir, a few weeks before Warren disappeared. Hartmann denied this in an Oct. 26, 2005, interview with investigators.

Hartmann was incarcerated in 1987 following a conviction for rape. He has repeatedly told investigators he does not know what happened to Warren. The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole released Hartmann from custody in 2020.
'Cold': A caller claimed he found a body near a reservoir, but police could never locate it. Could it have been Joyce Yost?

This sighting of him in Utah is interesting. Did he drive her car to Vegas to throw people off?

The anonymous caller actually made two separate calls on April 3, 1987. The first went to police in Roy, Utah. A dispatcher there advised the man to phone the Weber County Sheriff’s Office, since Roy police wouldn’t have jurisdiction over remains discovered in the mountains.

The second call, to Weber County, was captured on tape. In it, the man said he’d observed a purse next to the body. He also said he’d found the body, which he believed to be female, while searching for “sediments.” He told the dispatcher he would need to use a geologic map to find the spot again.

“It’s probably going to take half an hour to give you directions,” the man had said.

In the weeks that followed, sheriff’s Lt. Archie Smith shared details of the recording with reporters in hopes it would spur the caller into coming forward. The sheriff’s office also staged multiple searches of the area surrounding Causey during the spring and summer of 1987. Neither approach led to recovery of the remains or identification of the caller.

Psycholinguistics
The following year, Smith became aware of a man named Murray Miron who was an expert in the field of psycholinguistics. Miron had advised the FBI in a number of prominent cases and claimed an ability to profile a person based on their vocabulary and speech traits. Smith sent Miron a letter, along with a copy of the anonymous call recording.

What a convoluted case. Car is found over a month later over 400 miles in Nevada and there are not one, not two, BUT THREE POI's.

This is the second in a two-part story about the search for Sheree Warren, a woman missing since 1985. This is part 1.)

ROY, Utah — A police detective in this suburb of Ogden received a box of old reports in February of 2015. They detailed a 30-year-old cold case involving the disappearance of a woman named Sheree Warren.

John Frawley, the detective, was tasked with researching the long-abandoned investigation on the chance a set of skeletal remains uncovered along U.S. Highway 89 might possibly belong to Warren.

“I honestly didn’t know much about the Sheree Warren case at all,” Frawley said in an interview for the KSL investigative podcast series COLD. “I just started reading through this case and I just became fascinated with it.”

The skeletal remains, Frawley would come to learn, did not belong to Warren. Dental records instead tied the bones to another young woman who’d disappeared in the 1980s, Theresa Greaves. But by that point, Frawley had met with Warren’s family to let them know fresh eyes were reviewing the case.

“Kind of a sobering feeling,” Frawley said. “This family went to bed every day, woke up every morning never knowing what happened. They didn’t get any answers.”

The original investigation into the Oct. 2, 1985 disappearance of Sheree Warren had been stymied by the presence of two viable suspects. The first was Warren’s estranged husband, Charles Warren. The second was a man Warren had dated while seeking a divorce named Cary Hartmann.

As detailed in part one of this story, both men drew the suspicion of investigators for differing reasons. Police learned both Charles Warren and Cary Hartmann had instances of violent abuse against romantic partners in their past. Neither provided satisfactory answers about their whereabouts on the night of Warren’s disappearance when questioned.

MAR 8, 2023
Ogden police came across something unexpected while serving a search warrant at a condominium in May of 1987: a gray suede jacket that potentially belonged to a woman who’d been missing for a year-and-a-half named Sheree Warren.

[...]

Two witnesses came forward to speak with a Roy police detective. They told police Hartmann had been renting an apartment in the basement of a house on Ogden’s 7th Street in the fall of 1985. The women, who’d lived on the ground floor of the same house, recalled overhearing a loud argument there between Hartmann and Warren on or around the night Warren disappeared. They each said the argument had concluded with the sound of a thump followed by all going quiet.

[...]

While searching Hartmann’s closets, detectives found a gray suede jacket on a hanger wrapped in plush red yarn. A tag on the inside collar of the jacket listed it as a women’s size 8. It had feminine style accents, like a short torso and ruffles that ran over the top of each shoulder.

The gray suede jacket fell outside the scope of the search warrant, so police did not seize it at that time. They instead photographed the jacket and showed the picture of it to Warren’s mother. A detective’s notes say Mary Sorensen then identified the jacket as belonging to her daughter, saying it “is the jacket she had on the last time she seen Sheree.”

[...]

Ogden police submitted the gray suede jacket to the Utah State Crime Laboratory for forensic analysis on February 8, 2000. A criminalist issued a report two weeks later that said “no indications of blood were detected” on the jacket.

[...]

Roy police took custody of the jacket from Ogden and re-submitted it for another round of forensic testing in the spring of 2021. The results of that effort have not been made public.

[...]

The Utah Department of Corrections released Cary Hartmann from custody in March of 2020. ...

Police confirmed to KSL TV they plan to excavate a possible gravesite in the mountains near Causey Reservoir on Wednesday in connection with a 1985 cold case.

“Sheree Warren went missing Oct. 2, 1985. She was a Roy resident at the time she went missing and as of right now, we’ve not been able to locate her,” Roy police Sgt. Josh Taylor said.

Police hope to determine whether their planned search site, about 20 miles east of Ogden, holds any evidence related to Warren’s presumed murder nearly 40 years ago.

“Hopefully it is significant,” Taylor said. “Where this case is so old, anything is significant

Sheree, circa 1985; Sheree's car

Aug 23, 2023

I have a question...did she know that the boyfriend was a rapist? Or at that time he still wasn't? and if he was a rapist and she knew about it at that moment there would be a breakdown... it could be that at that moment she was murdered but there is something else... in one photo she has a strange look as if she knew the truth without caring. ..or maybe complicity...
I hope she never gets out of jail, that guy who stays there forever...
either way
rest in peace

Well, he wasn't incarcerated until 1987, and she went missing in 1985. So I'd guess she didn't know about his sex offences.
