Laytwan "Twan" Brown was a young man found murdered in 1998.

He was identified in 2018.

Case[]

Twan vanished shortly after he moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1998, and remained unreported missing for six months following his disappearance.

Twan's skeletal remains were found by fishermen. There were multiple gunshot wounds to the skull, and stab wounds to the sacrum and right hipbone, and there was also evidence of burning. The jawline shown in his reconstruction was estimated, as his mandible was never found. The remaining maxillary teeth showed no evidence of any fillings, indicating a lack of dental care when alive. Some of his teeth were fractured, possibly because he used them to open bottles. His hand(s) and limb(s) were not recovered.

He was connected to the then unidentified body via DNA testing, and a murder investigation is currently ongoing. His postmortem estimate was incorrect, as he was found just 18 days after he was last seen, opposed to the months to a year that had been given.
