Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah, born David P. Brown (February 15, 1957 – April 13, 2008), was an American war hero and convicted felon who was serving a 130-year prison sentence without the possibility of parole in Montana after being convicted of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and sexual assault of various children. He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Massachusetts years

In 1974 he pleaded guilty to impersonating a policeman and assaulting an eight-year-old boy, for which he received one year of probation. In 1977, Brown was convicted of the kidnapping and attempted murder of two boys and was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison. He was strangling the two boys while one managed to escape and find help.

While in prison he was transferred to the Bridgewater State Hospital. In 1991, he changed his name to Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah. Later in the same year, Superior Court Judge Walter E. Steele ruled that Massachusetts had failed to prove that Bar-Jonah was dangerous and he was released before moving to Great Falls, Montana.

Montana years

Bar-Jonah was arrested in 1999, again and initially for impersonating a police officer. After searching his home and finding, among other things, many pictures of young children cut out of magazines and a bone that was identified as belonging to an unknown young male, Montana police charged Bar-Jonah with kidnapping and sexual assault.

Mr Jonah had evidence against him and was going to be tried for the murder and cannibalism of young Zack Ramsay. There was also evidence that Bar-Jonah cooked the child up and served him to unexpected guests and neighbors including the child's own family. However, the mother of this child refused to cooperate with the police authorities on the belief that it was not her son and he was still alive.

Bar-Jonah was convicted of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and sexual assault. He was given a 130-year prison sentence. He maintained his innocence up until his death.

Montana authorities were unaware of Bar-Jonah's past trouble in Massachusetts, a fact that was cited by activists campaigning to force former sex offenders to register.

Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was found unresponsive early Sunday April 13, 2008. He had been in poor health.

His post mortem found significant levels of LDL in his arteries and myocardial infarction was the determined cause of death.
