Barry Michael Brown was 6 years old when he disappeared from his Port Saint Lucie, Florida, home on July 16, 1985, along with his mother Carolyn and his siblings Sheketah and Brandon. The disappearances were treated as suspicious and foul play was strongly suspected.

Carolyn’s husband, James Michael Brown, later confessed to killing the whole family, saying he killed Carolyn and Brandon in Florida and then drove to Georgia where he killed Barry and Sheketah. No bodies were ever recovered and searches of the locations he identified turned up no evidence. James Brown was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a mental health facility; the family’s remains have never been located.

All four remain classified as endangered missing and the case is unresolved. If anyone has information about Barry, his family, or their whereabouts, please share what is known with the appropriate authorities.
