Mother Vanishes After Years Of Domestic Abuse
Regina Brown told her friend to be alarmed if she disappeared, “Willis will have done to me what he promised to do to me”.
Regina Brown was a 35-year-old African-American woman living in Newtown, Connecticut. She was a flight attendant for American Airlines and was married to a pilot, 52-year-old Willis Brown. Willis also owned The Moped Man, a moped rental business on Block Island, Rhode Island.
The couple had three children: Nicholas (4), Reina (3), and Ashley (2).
Regina and Willis had a complicated five year marriage. Willis was accused of domestic violence several times and was even arrested after strangling Regina during one of their fights.
A judge issued a restraining order against Willis; he was not allowed near Regina, their children, or the family’s home. He moved into an apartment in Queens, New York. On occasion, Regina allowed him to visit their children.
During the marriage, Willis had accused Regina of abusing drugs and being unfaithful. He even claimed their children were not biologically his. Six paternity tests were done, all proving he was the father.
