@@BriefCaseOfficial You're welcome!
Odd that he was allowed to be released from jail for committing 3 murders. No justice for the victims.
Dang! I didn't know that he had become a serial killer! He committed THREE murders and became a SECURITY GUARD!?!
I thought the same thing.
I was looking for this comment. Why would anyone hire him as a security guard? I guess perhaps he was qualified to work for the cartel.
Security guard is a low paying, extremely dangerous job, with low hours. He has no skills, and is an ex con, so nobody in manufacturing or retail would want to hire him. That's why he's a security guard.
You'd be surprised how many ex-cons get hired as Security Guards here in the U.S.
It seems like his problems started when his father abandoned the family. However, there are children who have been abandoned by parents and didn't commit murder.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Later in the tape the doctors diagnosed him as being a psychopath and I think that is nature not nurture. BTW I was blown away that he's released from prison when he was 52 or 53 and began working as a security guard of all things. Yikes
@@ritawashere5787 I believe some people are born evil and will do evil regardless of class, upbringing or circumstance.
@@permaquilter9111 I agree.
@@ritawashere5787 Yup.
@@permaquilter9111 I agree. That's why I said it's nature and it's not nurture. If parents leaving the family or substance abuse or whatever cause the child's issues it may be a catalyst but it seems like it's just nature it's not nurture.
I quite enjoy how you research the history of the area as well as the crimes. 5 out of 5 stars!
Thankyou
Often, we see people who have murderous or criminal tendencies behave normally when placed in controlled environments, like working on a ship. However, as soon as they return to a life where structure, control, and the maintenance of moral and societal norms are their own responsibility they cannot maintain any sense of control or normalcy. It is heartbreaking that these souls were lost because one man could not control his frustration.
Thank you BC for another wonderful narration. I especially enjoyed the historical information about the canal at the intro.
Inmates who have had long prison sentences will often become distressed when their release date is near. Many express their desire to remain in prison. Some will reoffend purposely so that they can return to prison. My sister was a prison guard in a maximum security prison and saw that happen many times, for the reason that you state.
YAY!!!! IT'S MONDAY MORNING!!!! And what could make me so happy and excited for it to be a Monday morning? One thing, and one thing only! It could only be the upload of a new BriefCase narrative!🦋🌈🦄🤗🥰😁🎆🎉🎊🌞
Hi Meemur!
@@bettyjames4155 hiya Betty!🦋🌈🦄🤗🥰
I do love the idea of being a lady of the brief case realm, haha. Been caught in a rough patch for days now, nice to have a bit of respite with my favorite storyteller, thank you!
Hope you are OK Holly
@@BriefCaseOfficial thank you, I will be💚
Died twice, that I know of. Life can be incredibly cruel. Life can be amazingly beautiful. Experienced both in a day. My son was born and taken from me.
As the old Joe Dirt used to say. Keep on keeping on. I've been in your shoes. I just refuse to give up.
@@rvndmnmt1 I’m so sorry for your loss! You have a beautiful outlook. You lifted my spirit. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼❤️💔🙏🏼
@@MultiMoo20 David is in a good place. Met the foster parents and they are pretty good with updates.
As for me. I thank you.
Why would they keep letting him out smh
Leftist politicians in every country support releasing murderers. Panama is no exception.
Places like Panama and I can speak for Venezuela 🇻🇪 most of central and South American countries don’t allow criminals to do more than 20 years jail, wether you’re a drug dealer or a serial killer the justice system is pretty much stuffed in these countries
Brief Case delivers the best content we could ever ask for. You can see the passion that went into all of this. This tragic case sure does open our eyes to the reality we are forced to confront with.
My sisters and I have this on going joke, where we say, "So and so true crime youtuber finds more unheard/non mainstream cases, (basically fake fighting over our fav tc youtubers) and I brought BC up the last time we started it. No one has beat me since.
Another Young Woman???!!! 💔💔💔💔 Why was I hoping he Reformed??? And another Victim?? These Innocent Women didn't do Anything to him!!!
Yup. His sentence for the first murder was a joke!
@@reneedennis2011 hi, Renee! It definitely was!!
@@renee1961 Exactly 💯!
Hi Renee!
They kept letting him out to kill more, wow
This was a very intriguing and yet "horrific," story about a man who had the potential of a good start in life and, yet ended up murdering several young women. The psychiatrist that examined this man years ago predicted that Silvano Brown would kill again, but he still was released from prison. May the souls of these young women that he murdered rest in eternal peace.🌹 Great investigating, presentation, historical facts about the Panama Canal, and photos, too.
Classic psycopath, poor victims. I do appreciate the respect with which you speak about the latter, Brief Case!
It's sad how common it is, but I'm always dubious when a murderer throws "she made fun of my peepee" into their stories about why they murdered a woman. Like that is a valid excuse for murderous rage, even if she did* do it, which I doubt they often do. Most of the time, I think they're just projecting their inadequacies on someone.
Greetings friends and BC
Good morning
Last year, I bought my father a plot of land in Scotland, and he received his certificate stating he is now a Lord. He has it framed, and hanging in his man cave (his garage). He loved it, and thought it was a very interesting and creative gift!
Your father is right. It’s a brilliant gift! Well done.
Can you please tell me the price you had to pay?
I bought my husband a 5x1 plot for Christmas. I thought it was super cool. But he thought I was crazy. Wish I would’ve bought it for myself instead 😞
Awesome!!
My husband and I got it as a wedding present. Still amused that I got land and titles when I got married 🤣
Good grief such a waste of his life 😵💫
Wolfie, 15 year old cat, and I are ready for the new video! Blankets and snacks ready to SIT BACK....
For some of us - it's good night. Something to listen to before I fall asleep. Thank you Mr Case.
Good night
Cases like this show us that then & now (and in differing countries) ,the courts don't always heed what dire warnings mental health experts say, especially with repeat offenders. To horrifying and disturbing ends.
P.S. It makes you wonder what became of Silvano after his release...
This guy had no real empathy for others. I know "he had good school reports up to the age of nine"; but I think he really had a personality disorder that simply went undiagnosed. Up to pre teens, a certain amount of selfishness goes unnoticed because they're "kids". I think his personality didn't change because his parents separated, I think he just WAS that way. Sadly, without any serious therapy that would have taken years, he really SHOULD have remained in prison.
Maybe it's the cost of maintaining a prisoner the reason why they release them?
Those Women did not get Justice!! Thank You, Brief Case!! Excellent, as ALWAYS!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗🤗🤗💚💚💚💚 Hope you have a great week!! I'll be checking out the Sponsor!! Thank You, again!
Thanks Renee, You too :)
Another superb video of murder and mayhem from the past. 💯💯 Usually, about people and crimes I haven't heard about before. Brief Case, never a disappointment having a video of yours to enjoy. 😁
That is bad that even the psychiatrist foresaw that he would kill again, and advised that they should keep him incarcerated. They didn't listen to the psychiatrist, so they were fully responsible for any subsequent crimes that he committed. Working as a security guard after conviction of 3 murders?!?!!?? That doesn't sound very smart, for whoever hired him.
You know that Scottish people really dont care about rank and title? A man's a man for all that, were all Jock Tamsons bairns etc. Being a Scottish laird isnt seen as a positive thing by native Scots.
Ye see yon birkie ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that,
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that.
Robert Burns
Great case BC. I find it strange that he was so easily caught and that his sentences were so relatively short. He seems to be still alive.
My family has a castle in Scotland. Thanks for this story. Compelling.
Wow your own castle, thats brilliant :)
Well MY family has a trailer in Texas, so there!
Just got here! How awesome to see your new video, and with a Sponsor! Congrats B.C. Thank you, for sure i'll enjoy it. Happy October!
Thanks Elke :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial
My pleasure Sir! :) Always here listen and re-listen to your great videos, also TCR ones. Thank you
They weren't very concerned about him reoffending when they let him back out, SMH. Thanks Brief Case, God bless and have a great week.
This was a bit tedious for me because every time you said Panama I had to go Panama in my best David Lee Roth voice.😂😂😂😂 seriously great content as always.
PA-NA-MAH! 🤣
Commits murder: society "damn he's a bad guy but he was young and foolish, let's give him another chance "
Becomes a serial killer: The law "yeah he's the worst of the worst, we should definitely give him a chance AGAIN!"

The Fairgrounds here in my State always hires ex-cons for Security Guards during the Fair and many other events they host
I always look forward to listening to your videos on Monday. Thank you! 😊❤
Thanks Tammy
Good morning from cold and rainy northeast US! Enjoy your week everyone ❤
Good morning - we had hurricane Ian rain on Saturday and yes a chilly day as well - stay safe .
Wow,has Autum already up north?
A reason to love Mondays! Thank you dear BC ❤!
Thanks Emily :)
His facial features remind me of Jamie Foxx. They say, your twin is somewhere in the world. Lol Creepy twin!
So sick and tired of laws that keeps protecting the offenders. Thought laws were made to protect law abiding citizens, not monsters🙄.
12 years for murder?! Ridiculous. Murderers should be in prison for life with no parole until they die and they can’t do it again
Hi Lord Brief Case... or is it Lord Case? 🤔
Anyway, warm regards from my kingdom, Lady Neko 🥰
This was so interesting! I listened to it twice. I appreciate the details you gave about Panama. It's also interesting how many people gave Silvano's name because " he didn't work much, but seems to always have money" 🤔 keep the stories coming, makes my Mondays better.
Yeah I doubt either murder went down the way he alleges. They always try to lie and twist what happened to make it seem like they were justified (in their mind) in what they did
If only they'd listened to the initial analysis... scary one =) Thanks
Always a great way to kick off my Monday mornings.
And they wonder why crime is so bad in Latin America? They let criminals go free
Such a brutal murder poor woman.
your show is the best! i appreciate the diversity of your topics. theres crazy monsters in every color and creed.
As a Panamanian I love seeing the old photos of the city! Makes me homesick
💔💔💔💔 This Poor Young Girl!! Heartbreaking!
Such a shame the young bright boy turned into this horrible man.
Few parents understand how divorces/ separations can affect children if not explained properly. He felt abandoned by his father and probably the mom was so busy being both parents, that she involuntary overlooked certain signals.
The whole situation definitely broke him...and left with no guidance and tools to deal with the situation at such a young age.
Great delivery as always.. you can tell the research behind it.
You never disappoint.
Well done
Yet being released after ending the life of four young woman seems to really be more the issue.
Stop making excuses for him, he is a monster.
No one is born a monster...and wasn't certainly acting up until what happened to his family.
No one is making excuses for him! But life and society failed him.
Instead of simply incarcerating him they could have tried helping him psychologically ..but no they released him into society knowing perfectly his mental state!
I am sure if he was helped at a young age he wouldn't have turned out the way he did..AND I AM STICKING TO MY STATEMENT.
If someone doesn't agree there are other comments on this video where you can share your opinion.
Have a great day
Really? He had no remorse for murdering 4 women and you weep for him? No, he was a psychopath who should have been hung after the first murder.
Divorce does seem to be a tragic turning point for some kids. I have noticed that a lot of killers and anti-social people’s dark paths started at a divorce. I also believe it matters how the divorce is executed, the amicable way or the Betty Broderick way. However that’s no excuse for destructive and or criminal behavior.
Also, as a vet, I’m appalled at the amount of prolific killers that were in the military!
I don't think this story is that unusual. There probably have been a number of Silvano Ward Browns in the past fitting this same mold and doing the same thing he did. I have no sympathy for anyone who has the potential and knows what he can do about making his life a success yet does nothing except resorting to doing the worst thing possible. His circumstances weren't so predestined that he couldn't have done better for himself. He kept giving up too soon, becoming a burden to society when it didn't have to be that way.
This Brief Case video has been brought to you by the word "Confused". Because...I'm CONFUSED as to why he wasn't monitored after psychologists gave their assessments 🤨
Many people mistakenly assume psychs are just like most other doctors -- normal, moral, competent, intelligent. Unfortunately, most psychs are not.
Such a delicate ego... Isnt is precious? The fragility of it, a thing of beauty...prime for manipulation and easily directed. For one does not have to be strong to have power...think about it
Wow, so killed a young woman when he was 18. Did his time and again let out at 30 just to kill two more women. Wow, I'm really surprised that he hasn't killed again that we the public know about. Everybody stay safe. Prays to the family that got hit in Florida 🙏. I live a block from the ocean. We are blessed to just have high winds and rain for three days now. ✌️BC. Good story.
Took a cruise through the Panama Canal shortly after the third lane was opened. What an amazing feat of construction through difficult terrain and hostile environment. Was told by the guide that approximately 100 people died per mile during the initial construction. Saw the island prison located in the middle of the artificial lake created by the canal where the strangler was staying. Very primitive construction but ideal location to prevent prison escapes. Col. Noriega was still alive then and was being held there. Beautiful natural country there with abundant wildlife. The canal crossing lasted 12 hours, enjoyed watching every minute of it. Crossed that item off my Bucket List of Places to See.
I really need glasses, I read that ad on screen as 'friendship f#ck', 'couple's f#ck' etc!! 🙄 instead of 'pack'. Was SO confused for a sec. Time for the optometrist! Oops....
WOW so this DEMON SEED IS OUT??
Great video as always! He shouldn’t have been released from prison😢that only gave him a chance to find more victims
Doesn't surprise me that he wouldn't be able to perform with those ladies - the guy quit school early and spent all his time in juvenile lockup, followed by 10 years in jail. Prostitutes just kinda take for granted that a man in his age group got enough experience and doesn't need extra accommodations. So, no sympathy for what he did, I just get why he'd just shut off when it's time to perform. You get stage fright with the ladies, it takes time and a really patient lady to help you get over it.
Thank you for the video, BC 🙏🏼🙏🏼💼
I listen to these the background while doing my miserable MS Excel sheets 😭🤣 hope you have an awesome October, my friend~ 💜🧡✨⚡🍬🍫
Thanks, You too :)
Good morning, Brief Case,, and everyone! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank You, and Congratulations on the Sponsor! I'm really interested in this one! Near yours?? I'm in!
Morning, I am looking at my Lord Brief Case Certificate now :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial how Great is that??!!💚💚🤗🤗 I'll use your code!! I want to get my Son's, and Grandson one! Is your code good for awhile? I have to split the purchases. Maybe 2, then ,2 more.
It should be good for a while Renee :)
This person was an absolute loser in a system that gave light punishments. They knew all about him after his last trial and yet turned him loose, knowing that people like thatdon't change. To make him a security guard is laughable. Better that his name and face should be erased from history. We have had plenty of these, and societies never learn from them, so what's the point?
Lol...I'm doin that...becoming a Lord or Lady just so my husband will have to address me that way 🤗😃
Monday. Best day of the week on YT. ❤ Greetings from Denmark to you BC and the rest of the gang here.
Hello there!
Murdered one person gets out of jail kills two more people and gets out of jail (again) and becomes a security guard? Well a trip to Panama will definitely be off my wish list
When you go many died building the canal, its an insane number. Somewhere between 25,000-30,000.
The background information on the Panama Canal was quite interesting.
RIP to the victims 😞.
Thanks :)
Do you or would you ever create a book reading type channel? Lol (this is not an insult) your voice is so perfect for sleep but i keep thinking about the effect sleeping to true crime vids has on my subconscious 😅
When you you say she mocked him and slapped him,how do you know it’s the truth?We’ve only got his word-she’s dead!
I really like how you correctly pronounce “Rosa”, sounds so pretty. It’s better than “RoZa” lol
The "correctional facilities" make these criminals. Once they make a mistake as a very young person they are shooed off to these places that DO NOT help them become a better person but rather mistreat them and give them access to far worse people. Their education there is mostly in what other inmates teach them.
Is he still walking around free?
There’s only his word for it that the sex workers teased or mocked him. He’s trying to blame the victims!
Have I ever told you that I really love your videos? Well I do love your videos and how well you pronounced the names of the people in your videos so well. I would butcher those names 😅
Oh and to all the “broken homes” sob stories, people survived the holocaust and didn’t become serial killers
Always a good history lesson with our weekly true crime, but this week was more so than usual, with all the interesting background on the canal.
I wonder if, and really doubt that both women made fun of him. Seems more likely that he just got enraged when he couldn't perform.
Always bringing the intriguing content BC! 🙏🖤🙏 Thank you, you are appreciated!
Yeah, I call BS on his justifications for killing these women. It's classic victim blaming, "She made me do it" nonsense. I expect that the only way he could get his kicks was the violence itself. I think he sought the women out for this premeditated violence, rather than it being reactive to a perceived slight. They need to keep some people locked up.

I really should do this. Even though I'm an 11th generation American, I'm 23% Scottish. I am sure I would be buying property at least one of my ancestors once occupied.
Even after he killed the first girl and went to prison I was still feeling sorry for him but not so much by the end.
Very interesting this video to see photos of the beginning construction of the Panama Canal and listen to some of it's origins. My maternal grandparents traveled through this place in 1919. Very sad that a young man Silvano Ward; would turn into a criminal and have so much disregard for life. He committed the crime, did the time and wouldn't you know it; went on to work as a Security Guard. Looking at the automobiles I said "wow my mom's first car". Thank you BC you have a wonderful week as well as your faithful listeners.
Panama was invented by the US and an engineer. It came into existence solely as a result of the desire to create the Panama Canal.
he made his situation worse when he stabbed the first young lady in her home. He should have just run away .
Take a convicted murderer and make him a security guard. Yep, makes sense. 🤪
I always enjoy watching Brief Cases new cases they are always very interesting and I enjoy rewatching his cases as well
Why does the Panama Strangler look so much like Hershell Walker?
Thank you BC, so tragic and sad!
🐝safe
Every release of a violent criminal is a risk against further innocents.
So this demon kept killing and kept being let out. Smh hardly justice
Great piece! I already have a title, I got it for my birthday :)
Scary as hell. You never know peoples true intentions.
Panama is not a place I've really seen covered in terms of true crime.
You should also check out the two Dutch sisters who sadly got killed there.
Will do thanks.
They weren't sisters ,they were friends
@@elmin82 sorry! My bad!
This is a gritty tale made more tangible by the vintage photos. Talking about slipping through the cracks. I wonder what he's been doing since 1993? Great work... again!!! Some awesome cars in those photos. Thanks bro
Thankyou :)
Thanks for such an interesting case in Panama. One day I want to visit the Panama Canal and it's lovely mountains near Chiriqui that is near Costa Rica.Very interesting case of this handsome but dangerous man. that the country of Panama used to be Colombian territory.
Normally I watch this before I leave for work on Monday. But today I'm off because they're fixing the plumbing. Life is good.
Have a good day :)
I hope things are changing and dangerous criminals are not let out
I just realized that B.C. would be a great narrator of historical documentaries. Another fascinating case. Ty B.C.
Thankyou :)
This is what i like about this channel. Crimes I've never heard of in locations that don't get much attention. And rich in details that must be difficult and time consuming to obtain. Thank you for your hard work BC.
It is so weird to see a video that involves my country in this channel lol You should do a video about El Salvaje Bill (William Dathan Holbert) next, tho his case is from recent times so maybe doesn't have the same "charm" that old crime cases do.
I saw that on Dateline NBC (In the U.S.)..... That was an interesting crime.
well done, BC. and they let him be a SECURITY GUARD???? pet briefcat for me.
Will do - thanks
Geesh the sentences he got for murder is crazy! So he even became a security guard! What in tarnation was going on, this is just jacked all the way around. Another great story BC! Keep them coming.
I was thinking that. Serves 12 years for murder, kills 2 more within 2 years of being released & then gets 20 years! I'd be thinking life for this guy, never to be released!
He was released, well that seems reasonable....not!!
