Former NFL player Sergio Brown, who disappeared after his mother was tragically found deceased in a creek near her Illinois residence, seems to have reappeared in Mexico through a peculiar video shared on Instagram. In the video, he said he thought his mom was on a trip and said something really surprising, he claimed that the police kidnapped him.
The ex-football player, Sergio Brown isn’t missing anymore after a strange video was shared on Instagram. It was posted on an account called “intplayerwithapassport,” which seems to be owned by Sergio Brown.
In the video, the former New England Patriots player spoke about the sad news of his 73-year-old mom, Myrtle Brown, being found dead near a creek near her house. Sergio Brown mentioned that he thought his mother was on vacation and accused the FBI and the Maywood Police Department of kidnapping him.
He also disputed several reports as “fake news” and went on an incoherent tirade, accusing the Maywood Police Department and the FBI of kidnapping him from his home on two occasions. “They kidnapped me twice from home. The Maywood Police Department,” he said before his words became hard to follow. “It had to be the FBI or the Maywood police,” he said to the camera as loud music played in the background. “I thought my mom was on vacation.”
Reportedly, the video was filmed and tagged in Mexico City, but the location was later removed when it was reposted, as per Deadspin. Sergio Brown’s current location remains unknown.
A neighbor said Sergio Brown was acting very strangely
Even before both he and his mother went missing, Sergio Brown was acting very strangely for several months, according to their neighbor Carlos Cortez, who spoke to CBS 2.
Cortez mentioned that the last time he saw Sergio and his mother was on Thursday, but the police informed him about something odd they noticed on a Ring doorbell camera. He said, “They see him taking out the trash, and they see him have a bonfire where he burned all her clothes.”
This unusual behavior had become quite typical for Sergio Brown in recent months, as per Cortez. He also mentioned speaking to the late woman’s relatives, who described Sergio as being “out of his mind.”
The police are aware of the video supposedly shared by Brown on Tuesday. “Maywood Police Department detectives are aware of a video that has surfaced on social media in relation to Mr. Sergio Brown, who is still considered a missing person and are also looking into its authenticity,” said Carmen Rivera, public information officer, Maywood Police Department.
Sergio Brown is known for playing in the NFL from 2010 to 2016 before he stopped playing football professionally. As a safety, he played 94 matches for the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Buffalo Bills.
Sergio and his mom were reported as not being found by their family on Saturday. This led to a search in Maywood village, and sadly, Myrtle Brown’s body was found. He hasn’t been named a suspect in his mother’s death, which has been ruled a homicide.
