Robert Charles Browne
Robert Charles Browne is a murderer and potential serial killer currently serving a life sentence in Colorado.
In confession, authorities say Browne admitted to murdering up to 49 people in a period spanning from 1970 until he was arrested and put in prison in 1995. Browne claims that he killed his first victim, a soldier fighting in South Korea, in 1970. Browne says he went on to kill many more times, claiming that, in the ensuing decades, he went on to murder 7 people in Texas, 9 in Colorado, 17 in Louisiana, 3 in Mississippi, 5 in Arkansas, 2 each for California, Oklahoma and New Mexico with a single victim in Washington state. If true, his claims would put him as the prolific serial killer in United States history, beating Seattle's Green River Killer who, in 2003, became the nation's deadliest known serial killer after admitting to 48 killings. If Browne's claims are true, he would establish the Green River Killer as only the second most deadly known serial killer at 48 admitted casualties after Browne with 49 (although the Green River Killer boasts to have killed up to 71 people, only 48 of the murders have been conclusively linked to him). |

| What was he doing in Korea in 1970? Was he a soldier or was he an English teacher? |

You're joking, right? |

I merely listed those as options because they are the two most common reasons for foreigners to be in Korea.
I am truly curious to know what he was doing in Korea.
My money is on him being a soldier but you never know. |

Learn a bit of history about Korea. In 1970 it was a police state. Most people weren't even allowed to travel abroad. I doubt they had a large ESL industry. |

An article I read said that he was in the military at the time.
I also had an ajosshi in one of my classes tell me that he (the ajosshi, not the killer) studied at the same hagwon back in 1980 with a native teacher when he was a uni student. I don't know about 1970, but considering that there are a few language hagwons that have been around since the late 50's/ early 60's, I wouldn't be surprised if a few English teachers were doing their thing then. |

I just read somewhere that he was in the military for I believe six years?
Not only that, but he killed a US soldier while in Korea.. leads me to believe its more likely he was a US soldier himself as well. |
