In 2024, police discovered Teresa Johnson's body under a bedcover in a motel in Saginaw County, Michigan. Daniel Varnes, who was staying with her, disappeared and, after his arrest, claimed she had been beaten by a drug dealer. However, traces of blood and severe injuries led investigators to doubt his account.
During hours of questioning, Varnes admitted to beating

Teresa with tools and boots, but continued to deny intent to kill. In March 2026, he pleaded no contest to charges of second-degree murder, torture, and concealment of a body. He will be eligible for parole in 32 years.
