RTM previously reported that last Saturday, authorities in Maywood, Illinois, were contacted by family members of former NFL player Sergio Brown and his mother Myrtle who said they were unable to find or contact either person.
A missing persons search was initiated and 73-year-old Myrtle Brown was found dead in a creek near her home, according to FOX 59.
Authorities are investigating Myrtle’s death as a homicide; police have listed Sergio as a person of interest.
Sergio is still unaccounted for but on Monday, several unusual videos were posted on social media, apparently by Sergio.
Fox News reported that Brown posted videos on Instagram under the handle @intplayerwithapassport, though he has a verified account.
In the video, Sergio claimed he was at a vacation resort and spoke of “fake news” and being “kidnapped” by the FBI.
“Fake news. Fake news. Fake news,” Brown said in the video in which he tagged ESPN. “It has to be the FBI that came into my house on Bob Marley’s death day with the 511 haze and gas unwarranted. They kidnapped me twice from home — the Maywood Police Department. It had to be the FBI or the Maywood police.”
Sergio added: “I thought my … mama was on vacation in Sinaloa. That’s … fake news. … She’s retired, and you want to come to me? The FBI had to do it. They have some power to do some s— like that. What … is going on? That’s fake news.”

In a second and equally strange video, Sergio referenced the movie “Finding Nemo.”
RTM’s John Symank reported:
Myrtle Brown’s sister, Sheila Simmons, told WGN-TV that she last spoke to Brown on Sept. 14, and that Brown had just celebrated her birthday on Sept. 8. Simmons said she received a phone call at around 3 a.m. local time, informing her that her sister and nephew were missing.
“We’re going to find out what happened because it’s not normal for my sister to not answer her phone, not to respond to text messages. People have been reaching out to her since Friday. No one was able to reach her,” Simmons told the station. “Now, I got the call this morning saying that she’s missing, so immediately I came out here and found out my sister is dead.”
Simmons told FOX 59 that when she went to the home in Maywood, she immediately noticed that things were out of place. Family members told WGN-TV that they hadn’t heard from Sergio Brown.
Sergio was a standout player for Notre Dame. He signed with the New England Patriots in 2010 as an undrafted free agent and played for four teams over seven seasons. He last played in the league in 2016.
