Searching For Properties "Owned" by Wild Bill in Panama

(Panama-Guide) - La Critica - The investigations against William Dathan Holbert, "Wild Bill" now move to another stage, he committed his crimes with the ambition of taking over land and property, that allowed him to have a recognized status as a major businessman in Bocas del Toro. The investigations being conducted by the Deputy Attorney General are now directed towards obtaining information from the Public Registry and the office of Agrarian Reform, to identify and confirm all property supposedly "owned" by "Wild Bill" and to determine exactly how those transfers occurred. Among the companies to be reviewed include Latitudes 9.10, which owns 16 hectares of land in the area of Aguacate, which allowed the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA) to issue a certificate of agricultural production.

This week prosecutor Angel Calderon will travel to the scene of the crimes, where "Wild Bill" killed and buried five North American victims behind the house he "owns" in Tierra Oscura in the area of Aguacate in an area adjacent to the Villa hostel Cortez. "We do not think we will take him to the scene," for this proceeding, said Calderon. "What we want to know first is where are the remains of the other missing persons," including Michael Francis Salem (also known as Michael Watson Brown), his wife Manchittha Nankratoke (with a passport from the Netherlands number M18119733), their 18 year old son Watson Brown, Bo Icelar, and Cheryl Lynn Hughes.

"Wild Bill" will be taken this week to the Institute of Legal Medicine (IMEL), where a team of forensic specialists will analyze his psychiatric and psychological status, and health. On the participation of Laura Michelle Reese, the prosecutor has not ruled her out as an accomplice of "Wild Bill", however, they must first determine her relationship to these crimes and evaluate her participation. Both Americans have been charged with the crime of homicide at the expense of 5 people and are being held in the cells of the Judicial Investigation Department. It was also learned "Wild Bill" held parties in Bocas del Toro and even had a social club. An ad for one of their parties was published on the Panama Guide website.
