Robert Charles Browne's Timeline -- American Murderer Claimed He Killed Dozens

Author: Shane Lambert
Time of writing: January 14th, 2021

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS for the timeline of Robert Charles Browne, a self-professed serial killer. Although he stated that he killed 49 people, I stuck to the crimes that are conventionally associated with him when constructing his timeline. Note, that many of the murders that he is mentioned in conjunction with are NOT convictions. However, I decided to include them as food for thought as there are those that are familiar with his life that think he should be considered a suspect in many murders.

If there a date and location that you think should be included, feel free to mention it in the comments. I'll have a look.

Missing Kids and Their Bicycles - Cases of Dario Cicolecchia, Janice Pockett, and Others

By: Shane Lambert Season 2 of the hit TV show Forensic Files  included an episode (Episode 12) that contained information that those that work on missing person cases should note. The episodes tell of the missing person's case of Dario Cicolecchia, a boy in Switzerland who went missing in 1993. Importantly, this boy was found, his murderer was apprehended, and this murderer also made statements to the police about how he operated. I think there's a nugget of information that's worth extracting from this case and using it as food for thought in similar cases. Dario Goes Missing Dario went missing after departing his home on a bicycle to go fishing. He was later found dead and mutilated in a Swiss cornfield. Forensic Medicine, the branch of forensics that deals with the body, was used in this case and it was discovered that the boy had been drowned.
