STILL UNSOLVED: The Disappearance of Regina Brown (Connecticut)

Regina Brown disappeared under troubling circumstances in April of 1987. She was a former flight attendant, a devoted mother of three young children, and a woman whose life had become increasingly defined by fear, control, and violence inside her marriage. Almost four decades later, Regina has never been found.

Her story begins in a close-knit Texas community and follows a whirlwind romance that led her far from home. But behind the scenes, that relationship began to unravel – marked by accusations, intimidation, and escalating threats. In the days before she vanished, Regina confided to someone close to her that she feared for her life. Then she was gone.

When this episode was first released in 2024, Regina’s husband at the time of her disappearance was still alive but Willis Brown Jr. has since died. If anyone has been keeping his secrets, let this be your sign to come forward.

If you have information relating to the 1987 disappearance of Regina Brown, please contact the Newtown Police Department at (203) 270-4237 or the anonymous tip line at (203) 270-8888.
