SERGIO BROWN APPEARS ON VIDEO PARTYING IN MEXICO WEEKS AFTER MOTHER'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH

Myrtle Brown, 73, was found dead near a creek behind her home in Maywood, Illinois, on Sept. 16, an area just 12 miles west of Chicago. Family members had reported Brown and his mother missing. 

Police were still attempting to locate Brown late last month when he appeared in videos on social media discussing the reports about his mother’s death.

They kidnapped me twice from home – the Maywood Police Department. It had to be the FBI or the Maywood police."
