WCSO Cold Case from 1986 – Monroe city worker missing, presumed dead

Walton County Sheriff’s Office cold case detective Michael Rising is reaching back to the 1986 case of a Monroe man who went missing in 1986. This is one of the Cold Case files from WCSO that was featured on Monroe Local News in 2016 and as yet remains unsolved. It is also featured in the March 1 and Dec. 20, 2023 and Dec. 18, 2020 edition of the Walton Tribune.

This case is the disappearance of Howard Brown, a maintenance worker with the City of Monroe who went missing on Aug. 7, 1986. It is a tangled tale of intrigue, infidelity and rumors of a possible grizzly end. Since Brown has not been seen or heard from since that day in August almost than 37 years ago, he is presumed dead and the case has long been considered a homicide.   https://news.monroelocal.org/wcso-cold-case-from-1986-monroe-city-worke…
