Details of Disappearance:
In June 1993, a man named Brown disappeared. He was a radio dispatcher from New Orleans who was last seen leaving his home in Marrero, Louisiana, saying he was driving to Holt, Florida to visit someone. His car was found abandoned in Holt the next day – the car was fine, and the keys were still in it. Nobody knows what happened to him.

Before he vanished, Brown worked secretly for the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms). He left behind tapes of conversations where he talked about fearing for his life from the ATF, the FBI, and the man he was going to visit in Florida.

His wife claimed his life insurance shortly after he disappeared, saying it was out of character for him to just leave. She later moved to Florida.

Brown was a veteran, and despite investigations, his disappearance remains a mystery.
