Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Brown was last seen leaving his mother's mobile home on Reams Drive in west Mobile, Alabama on February 15, 2002. He has never been heard from again. He was close to his mother and used to visit her home nearly every day, but he stopped going so often in the months prior to his disappearance. His mother stated he became withdrawn and sullen around that time.
A few months before he vanished, Brown was arrested on three charges of robbery. It was the first time he'd gotten into serious trouble with the law. He maintained his innocence in the robberies, saying he'd been framed. He disappeared not long after he bailed out of jail. He had warrants out for his arrest when he went missing, but the warrants have since been withdrawn.
There have been many rumors about Brown's supposed murder, but investigators haven't been able to verify any of them. They believe he is deceased, and foul play is suspected in his case, but it remains unsolved.

A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
