The Chisholm Police Department Chief James Vukad reassures the Warner family and the community that the case remains a high priority, and "continues to follow every credible lead with care, diligence, and compassion."

LeeAnna Warner was last seen walking home from a friend's house between 5:00 and 5:15 PM on June 14th, 2003. The police have received thousands of leads over the last 22 years, but a lack of evidence has prevented them from having a concrete suspect.
