Lets count the warning signs:

57

lived alone

mobile home park

professional puppeteer

served pizza to kids

had ties to a wide array of children's programs in the Tampa Bay area

In 1998, a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy stopped Brown for a traffic violation and observed boy's underwear between his front seats  (Observant cop!)

worked for years for the Christian Television Network in Largo, the state's oldest Christian broadcasting station

had a large collection of elaborate marionettes

Brown's neighbors at Whispering Pines mobile home park described him as reluctant to interact with adults, but quick to socialize with the park's many children

lived with his parents in the mobile home until they died at least 10 years ago

often see him driving teenage boys to Gulf Coast Church

It's fun to watch the Christian Television Network run backwards so quickly to get away from this guy.

This guy lives in my neck of the woods.  This case has caused quite a stir.  They are still trying to determine if he and his sick buddies actually killed and ate any children.

A purple pouch with black trim was marked "Jason's downloaded CDs," "HANDS OFF," and "That means you, Hunny Bunny!" Kizenko said in the complaint.

I'm don't know which makes me sadder: That he thought this would work, or that it did.

Nothing like a relationship built on trust.
