The Surfer Slayer | American Greed

Jason Derek Brown appears like a wealthy, laid-back surfer, but he's allegedly a stone-cold killer who shot a security guard five times in the head to steal $56,000. Authorities say Brown robbed the armored car guard to fuel his corrupt playboy lifestyle. This serial con artist led the FBI on a heart-pounding chase across several western states, landing on the FBI's Most Wanted list.

The Surfer Slayer | American Greed

[@alking6633]

Killing Someone For $56,000 Is So Sad And Unconscionable. RIP Sir. I Was Living In Phoenix When This Tragedy Happened In 2004 And I Will ALWAYS Remember Because That Was My Local Movie Theater That I Visited 3 Days Before This Murder. RIP...MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL🙏🙏

[@tomking7080]

I seen “Bad Santa” at that theater along with a bunch of other movies.

[@CitizenEa]

"Mormon missionary turned Party King.."! That's unbelievable!

[@steevenhyde3505]

Not really. I've learned that most of Mormons learn how to lie pretty well. They're manipulators and play the victim card like pros.

[@WaitingtoHit]

"Dude, where are my morals?"

[@gavinbrando8255]

How this guy vanished is a level of genius beyond anything since Whitey Bulger

[@user-rw718]

How does this guy escape without a trace especially in the age of facial recognition. It's truly incredible. Where could he be if he was in Mexico he would have been arrested a long time ago. If I had to guess he went to an extremely isolated place and shot himself and nobody ever found his body. 💯💯💯

[@HomesForSaleEnsenada]

Interesting theory, I never thought of that one. I think he's gotten help from family and Mormons. They need to wire tap his family and Mormon associates. They're wiring him money, he's blending in somewhere in Canada, Alaska or Utah somewhere in the Northwest or Southeast Asia (Philippines or Thailand). Heck, maybe even Russia or Brazil where there is no extradition treaty with United States.

[@olilumgbalu5653]

Facial recognition, ubiquitous cameras/drones/satellites, millions of informants and agents...he and/or his family are likely intel agents of some sort, so he was/is being protected.

[@tomking7080]

I think that he’s dead and that’s why there are no leads. That’s just my theory

[@ParisLawLess]

He left the US 🇺🇸 bro

[@looneytune6062]

This was 2004 not 2024

[@matthewkham]

You can tell this was during the Abercrombie/Hollister days haha

[@brandondavenport6147]

The Mormons need to be investigated

[@ArtSmosh1274]

yes

[@MichaelLewis-mg4go]

56000 for life in prison is a bad deal

[@Ben_Loughrey]

Last credible sighting of him was in August ‘08 when someone he went on a Mormon mission trip with recognized him at a stoplight near Hogle Zoo in SLC. This caused the person reported to be Brown to speed off during the red light

[@Cuete590]

I heard about this but it was in 2011

[@Ben_Loughrey]

@@Cuete590 what was in 2011?

[@djohanson99]

Did a Google search and he still running. Taking a man's life for $50k ain't right. Spend that in a year or two and that poor guy is still dead and you better keep running. Wonder if he still alive?

[@Renee-vq7tn]

I remember this happening. I wish I could catch him myself. Hope they get him eventually. He's been running along time

[@4dpeepscom]

This is an endless series it will never end there is so much American greed and this can be dated back

[@WaitingtoHit]

Wow, a neverending series? You promise?

[@federalagenciesarecourtesans]

I met someone that almost got scammed by him, Derek was in Louisiana.

[@startingtech3900]

can you elaborate?

[@lilyrose7082]

His family helped him escape! They had to have financed him because $56 grand doesn’t last that long! 😤

[@hood_TheJoker]

dude been laughing at his pursuers for decades... he don't GAF

[@startingtech3900]

bro they keep running this episode but hes gone not gonna be caught

[@diturner7247]

He has been removed from the "most wanted list"...

[@GG-vo5cb]

That guy was hanging out in Sacramento hiding in churches

[@HomesForSaleEnsenada]

Interesting theory that he may have deleted himself somewhere remote where they wouldn't find him, but I think he's gotten help from family and Mormons. They need to wire tap his family and Mormon associates. They're wiring him money, he's blending in somewhere in Canada, Alaska or Utah somewhere in the Northwest or Southeast Asia (Philippines or Thailand). Heck, maybe even Russia or Brazil where there is no extradition treaty with United States.

[@TheAllAmericanSocialistMTR1000]

Wow way to narrow it down.

[@startingtech3900]

a narcissist like derek would never shoot himself

[@tomking7080]

I remember when this happened. It was 2 days after my birthday and I use to go to this theater a lot. I seen “Bad Santa” here. I can’t believe that they have not caught this dude yet. Maybe he is dead and that’s why

[@handcockalexander72]

Walmart 11 AM Metairie

[@HomesForSaleEnsenada]

Or he could be in a French speaking country like 1 user suggested. Since he speaks French

[@tomking7080]

That can be a lot of places. Montreal and Quebec City , Haiti, Belgium, Tunisia, Switzerland, a bunch of different African countries. In total about 20 different French speaking countries.

[@williamrussell174]

French Guiana is my bet.

[@Ben_Loughrey]

Most recent confirmed sighting was in SLC

[@chinainformation]

😢

[@GenX_Saves_America]

He's in a french speaking country imo.

You wish. You only say that because you see others commenting that for non whites but data matters. You know it, too.

[@idontlikecops1]

Yea whites get away. Blacks would have been caught by the weekend.

[@Mr.paint123]

My guess is that he’s probably dead already (unless he’s disguising himself as a homeless person in some other state and has kept his mouth shut) Because this guy should’ve been caught already !

[@livefromthe757]

soooooooo ... he's resourceful enough to elude capture from the FBI, including their most wanted list, for 20 years, but now either 'homeless in some other state' or dead? brilliant f*cking analysis you choad ... your stupidity is astonishing

[@Cuete590]

@@livefromthe757many say he’s being protected by the Mormon church

[@jasonbeaudry489]

This is such am old crime, he's dead by now for sure.

[@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx]

Not that old.he would be in 50s or 60s.

[@mattbackus]

Not even smart enough to wear gloves!!??

[@hubes96]

🙄 he did for sure during the crime moron! Otherwise there would be prints all over it! Print was from before he just happened to mis that one print when wiping the bike down before he did the crime…

[@bbarnett3469]

Was this video edited?? I watched it twice & I didn't hear any link/evidence that a random found (stolen?) bicycle was linked to the crime, or how this implicates this person! Is the (nice) family saying he has disappeared?! Just seems that anybody's name/image could be "inserted" into this video the way it's being presented/edited....just sayin'!

[@gc4408]

He is out drinking with Hunter…… untouchable

[@imaginenation3280]

He banging your wife too

He got more than 56k.
