The Murders of Michael,

newsnviews2.jpg(Panama-Guide7) On 16 May 2003, Michael Watson Brown and his wife Manchittha Nankratoke "Nan" Brown started a company called "Latitude 9.10 Inc." At about the same time, in April 2003, the Browns purchased a parcel of land measuring more than 18 hectares - about 45 acres - located along the coast on the mainland in the area known as Cauchero in the province of Bocas del Toro from Maria Irene Lezcano de Castillo. They purchased this large parcel of coastal property using their company "Latitude 9.10 Inc." On 18 April 2005, Panama's Ministry of Agricultural Development issued resolution number DAL-030-ADM-2005 in favor of Michael Watson Brown and his wife Manchittha Nankratoke de Brown which certified them as agricultural producers. This documents indicates the Brown family intended to grow pineapple, papaya, mango, oranges, avocado, plantain, and passion fruit on their land. These people have been missing for about three years. Today I received the following email;

    * "Hi I am the daughter of Mike Brown. Daddy was living in Panama with my brother Watson Brown and my stepmother Nam. They too went missing with him 3 years ago. I have not been able to contact the Panama police. Do you have any more information on what happened or are you able to give me some information on how to contact the Panama police department?? Thank you in advance."

Guess Who Took Over The Property: On 2 May 2008 documents were filed in the Panamanian Public Registry making William "Wild Bill" Adolfo Cortez the new Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Panamanian corporation "Latitude 9.10 Inc." His wife Jean Seana Cortez was named as a Director of the company. This is the property where the bodies of Cher Hughes and Bo Icelar were discovered on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. And thus far no one has been able to find the Brown family. At this point, knowing what we know now, it can only be presumed that this murderous psychopthic serial killer did away with the entire family in order to take over their property. (more)

Bi Icelar's Body Identified: I was told today that law enforcement officials in the Republic of Panama have made a positive identification of Bo Icelar's body using dental records provided from the United States. Apparently both Cher Hughes and Bo Icelar were murdered with gunshots to the head.

Clear Identification Of The Family: In investigating the cases of people have disappeared after coming in contact with William "Wild Bill" Adolfo Cortez Reese and his wife Jane, I've been hearing about "Mike Brown" and how he was the original owner of the land "occupied" by William Cortez. From now on I don't want to use the word "bought" or "purchased" when it comes to anything appropriated by William Cortez and his wife. As far as I can tell he didn't actually buy anything. Rather, he would simply kill the former owners, take over their property and all of their belongings, tell anyone who asked that he had supposedly purchased the property and "paid cash", and then go on about his life as if he were the new and legitimate owner. I've been hearing about the disappearance of "Mike Brown" but I didn't know exactly who he was, where he was from, or any other details. Now, I know:

    * Michael Watson Brown, a citizen of Holland, holder of passport number NB0865469. Married, from the Dutch Antilles, resident of Street 4A, Community of Aguacate, area of Tierra Oscura, province of Bocas del Toro.

    * Manchittha Nankratoke "Nan" Brown, a citizen of Holland, holder of passport number M18119733, Michael's wife.

    * Watson Brown, Michael's son.

Murdered The Entire Family: Relatives of Mike Brown have been looking for them for more than three years. I have no idea if anyone ever filed an official missing persons complaint with the DIJ or not. However at this point it appears William Cortez and his wife Jane simply killed this entire family, disposed of their bodies somewhere, used legal documents to take over the "Latitude 9.10 Inc." company and therefore the 45 acre property in Cauchero, which is owned by the company. No one has seen or heard from any of these people since.
