Robert Charles Browne (born October 31, 1952) is an American murderer serving a double-life sentence at Colorado State Penitentiary in Colorado.
Browne was born in Coushatta, Louisiana. According to a Red River Parrish Sheriff, Browne grew up as one of nine children in a hardscrabble family. He was a high school dropout who joined the Army and served from 1969 to 1976, when he was dishonorably discharged for drug abuse.[1]
Browne was arrested in March 28, 1995 on the charge of first-degree murder in the death of Heather Dawn Church, 13, on September 17, 1991. He initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, however, on May 25, 1995, in a plea agreement, changed his plea to guilty so that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty.[2][3]
On July 27, 2006, in a similar plea agreement, he confessed to the death of Rocio Delpilar Sperry, 15, who was killed on November 10, 1987, at a Colorado Springs apartment complex.[4]
In his confession, authorities say Browne admitted to murdering up to 48 other people in a period spanning from 1970 until his arrest. Browne instigated a new investigation by sending a cryptic letter to the authorities in 2000. The letter read "Seven sacred virgins entombed side by side, those less worthy are scattered wide, the score is you 1, the other team 48.” The letter included a hand drawn map with outlines of Colorado, Washington, California, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, with the body count written inside each state.[5]
