I struggled to find anything on the missing person, until I stumbled upon a 1994 court case after his disappearance. In the text it clearly states that 'a[FONT=&amp]t the time of the trial, Brown had not been seen or heard from for at least a year'.

It looks like this whole mess and his disappearance were only a few weeks apart.

From the Philadelphia Daily News 9/2/94

In 1992, Robbins was sentenced to eight to 24 months in prison for receiving stolen property.

Police said they had a right to obtained a search warrant because the evidence was in plain view of air traffic.

The state Superior Court agreed with the cops, upholding the conviction and ruling that "the operation of the helicopter was not a search and, as such, did not trigger Robbins' Fourth Amendment rights.

" . . . it is unreasonable for Robbins to expect that something the size of a front-end loader was constitutionally protected from being observed with the naked eye from an altitude of 500 feet," said Judge Vincent A. Cirillo. "Robbins did not present any evidence that helicopters flying at 500 feet were sufficiently rare in his area to support his claim of a reasonable expectation of privacy.

"Additionally, the observation . . . posed only a very limited degree of intrusiveness."

In June 1990, an informant told Upper Darby Officer James Reif that Robbins had the stolen items at his home in a secluded wooded area, just off of Green Lane. The helicopter fly-overs confirmed the tip.

Seems he did manual labour. A few days after he was last seen a man with dirt under his nails was found at Niagara Falls, Canada.
