From the very beginning of the investigation into the disappearance of Iris Brown, everyone suspected the same person had something to do with it. She left home with the suspect on the night she was last seen alive, the suspectâs behavior in the days following her disappearance raised countless red flags, and forensic evidence pointed to something bad happening inside the suspectâs car, but proving beyond a reasonable doubt exactly what happened wasnât going to come quick and easy to the investigators tasked with finding answers.
When this suspect was finally apprehended and charged, it was with the crime prosecutors could prove⊠Not the crime everyone knew deep down heâd actually committed. Decades later, a determined detective reopened the case with one mission: to give surviving family members a version of closure, even if it meant the killer would never face the consequences.
If you have information that could help bring Iris Brown home, please contact Vermont State Police via the tip form. You can also submit a tip anonymously by texting VTIPS to 274637.

The mother and son had just gotten home from a trip to the store and had no sooner brought their bags into their Bridgeport, Connecticut home when they heard the doorbell ring. As Karen Clarke turned the doorknob to see who was on the other side, she and her son, B.J. Brown Jr., were ambushed and gunned down in their own home.
This case has eyewitnesses, it has clear and critical evidence, it has a strong motive, and Iâm here to tell you that it has an ending⊠But I wouldnât say it has justice in its entirety. The rug was pulled out from under the feet of Karen and B.J.âs family earlier this year when they learned one of the perpetrators would see the outside of prison walls long before they ever thought possible.

When 38-year-old Ralph âRizzâ Jean-Marie was reported missing from a motel where he was living in Barre, Vermont, the story was that he up and left after an argument, leaving behind his personal belongings and everything youâd think someone might take if they were going to start a new life for themselves somewhere, or even just taking off to get some space for a few days.
But from day one of the investigation, law enforcement had reason to believe the initial narrative of Ralphâs disappearance wasnât anchored in the whole truth. Ralph didnât just walk off, never to be seen again. Someone, or multiple someones, had a hand in his disappearance, but getting answers as to what really happened proved a challenge for local authorities.
Family members and activists alike have been critical of law enforcementâs response to Ralphâs disappearance, and they continue to speak out today about the lack of progress in the three-year-long investigation. This case is layered - from a secret inquest, to demonstrations and protests from local activists to the prosecution of a journalist - it all stems from the biggest and most important question at the center of the case: Where is Ralph Jean-Marie?
If you have information about the disappearance of Ralph Jean-Marie in Barre, Vermont, on April 13, 2020, please contact Barre Police at (802) 476-6613.View source material and photos for this episode at: darkdowneast.com/remembering-ralphjeanmarie
