Brian Kent Martin: The Biloxi Timeline Question
A register and an original interview report use different dates.
Abstract
NamUs MP439 lists December 1, 2000 as Martin’s Date of Last Contact in Biloxi, Mississippi. Its narrative says he was staying with friends but describes no observed departure.1
Dated Record
The entry identifies Biloxi Police case 01-050897 without a separate report-date field. The case number alone cannot date a disappearance or report.1
Published Perspectives
A.J. Giardina’s 2011 WLOX report interviewed investigator Mike Manna and Martin’s mother, Robyn. Their perspectives were reported accounts, rather than original records inspected here.2

Later Record Details
WLOX described a December 30, 2000 pawn-ticket record held by police. This review did not inspect that ticket.2
The article attributed a March 2001 family call to Robyn Martin’s account and gave September 4, 2001 as the report date. It also quoted Manna placing the disappearance in December 2001.2
Original records are needed to clarify these event labels and years.2
Scope and Method
Original records and present status remain unverified.
