Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Brown was last seen in Lancaster, South Carolina on February 14, 1995. His grandmother was a patient at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina at the time. That day, Brown and his aunt went to visit her. They returned to Lancaster between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. After they arrived, Brown asked his aunt if she could give him a ride somewhere. His own car was in the repair shop. When she refused, he said he was going to walk to his destination instead and would be back later that day. He has never been heard from again. After his disappearance, a couple of his friends returned Brown's gray Dodge Colt to his home and dropped the keys off with his relatives. Brown was born in New Jersey and moved to Lancaster in 1990. He lived in the 700 block of Central Avenue with his grandmother and cousin, and had a job at an Applebee's restaurant. Because his grandmother was in the hospital, his disappearance wasn't noticed for several days. His family reported him missing six days after he was last seen. It's uncharacteristic of Brown to leave without warning, and he left all his belongings behind at home, including his wallet and driver's license. Brown's grandmother is deceased, but his mother and aunt are still alive. His case is unsolved and he's considered missing under suspicious circumstances. Other information and links : ncy Lancaster Police Department 803-283-1171 September 2021 updates and sources 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.
