KILLER MOM LYNNE BROWN ON RUN SINCE 1975

THE MURDERS were bone-chilling. Two little children, each shot twice in the head. Their killer? Mom. On Feb. 22, 1975 cops in Clackamas County, Oregon believe Geoffrey Lyman Brown and Leslie Michelle Brown were shot to do death by their mother Lynne Brown (a.k.a. Lynne Fortner, Mitzi Brown, Mitzi Fortner.) Geoffrey, 5, and Leslie, 7, were found dead March 12, 1975. They were lying on a blanket.
Geoffrey and Leslie were last seen leaving with their mother, Lynne Brown, for a one-day visit from Lynne’s ex-husband’s house on Feb. 22, 1975. Lynne Brown has not been seen or heard from since.


Lynne Brown is described as a white female, 5'2", 110 lbs., with brown hair and green eyes. A forensic artist has prepared an aged drawing as Ms. Brown might appear now. A warrant was issued in October 2006 as a result of this Cold Case investigation.
Lynne Brown had a history of mental problems and once threatened to kill her mother with a butcher knife, police said. On another occasion, she told a friend that if her ex-husband, Lyman Brown, won custody of their children, she might someday "shoot the kids and Lyman would never find her."

JEREMY BRIGHT VANISHED FROM ORE. FAIR IN 1986

IN AUGUST 1986, Jeremy Bright vanished from the Coos County (Oregon) Fair. He was never seen again and was just 14 when he vanished. But his family has never forgotten him and recently released 1,000 balloons in his honor. Standing 6'1", Jeremy had whopping size 13 shoes. It's a memory his mother Dianne Beatty cherishes. He had been in Coos Bay with his sister, visiting family when he left to pick her up at the county fair. His mom said at the time there was no amber alert and was assured he was just another teen who had run off. Jeremy will come home eventually, she was assured.
Twenty-five years later that has not been the case. When his sister S'Te Elmore realized her older brother
wasn't coming to get her at the fair, she didn't think that meant he would never return.
She said: "It's a struggle. You never want to give up hope. Twenty-five years later, we just want answers. Our main goal is to find Jeremy and to lay him to rest. Just to know that he's taken care of."
Now married with nine children, Elmore said she misses her brother and thinks of him all the time and how her children will never know him.
The family hasn't given up hope someone will come forward with information and crack open the cold case. A detective is still working the case, and Elmore has regular contact with the Coos County Sheriff's Office, she said. They believe his body is still somewhere in the county.
Beatty adds: "God will take care of justice for us. We want to heal, that's all."MORE IN THE COOS BAY WORLD
