The Jolly Roger Social Club : a true story of a killer in paradise
\"In the remote Bocas del Toro, Panama, William Dathan Holbert, aka 'Wild Bill,' is awaiting trial for the murder of five fellow American ex-patriots. Holbert's first victims were the Brown family, who lived on a remote island in the area's Darklands. There, Holbert turned their home into the 'Jolly Roger Social Club,' using drink- and drug-fueled parties to get to know other ex-pats ... But this is not just a book about what Holbert did and the complex financial and real estate motives behind the killings; it is about why Bocas del Toro turned out to be his perfect hunting ground, and why the community tolerated--even accepted--him for a time\"-- Provided by publisher.

Police: Man sold house that didn't belong to him
An arrest warrant was issued this week for William Dathan Holbert, 364 Moriah Church Road, Casar. The warrant was issued for forging a deed and obtaining property under a false pretense with a value of more than $100,000, said Wilmington police detective Paul Verzaal. Both are felonies. Police believe Holbert forged the deed and obtained a false driver's license with the name Luke Gregory Kuhn, which he used to open a bank account, Verzaal said. The investor who bought the property - without knowing it did not belong to Holbert - spent $40,000 to remodel the home, Verzaal said.

Holbert turned up this week in Nicaragua using the name William Cortez, along with a new wife, Laura Reese, a.k.a. Jane Cortez, who acquaintances said appeared to be a woman he met in North Carolina as his family life crumbled, according to the AP. Holbert met Reese in 2004 after selling his landscaping business.
