Oh wow… I hope he’s found soon safe.

“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 said. “Now, I got the call this morning saying that she’s missing, so immediately I came out here and find out my sister is dead.”

speculating!!! could he have killed his mom? he went missing friday and she was found saturday. thoughts?

I used to drive through Maywood on First Avenue to get to work when my usual route had construction. I found parts of it uncomfortable to drive alone through yet there are quiet neighborhoods of some nice older homes where folks have lived for years. But the crime rate is still fairly high. If not for her son also being missing I'd be thinking a robbery gone bad, her assault maybe not being planned as a murder but her succumbing to her injuies due to health and/or age. But his vanishing opens up a lot of questions.

Ex-football star missing after mother was found dead in Illinois creek

Former NFL star Sergio Brown and his mother Myrtle Brown were reported missing on Saturday. The mother has been discovered dead in a creek and Sergio is still missing.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Members of the family told WGN TV News they haven't heard a word from Sergio.
The Maywood Police Department are currently trying to find Sergio and ask if anyone has seen him, to contact them immediately at their Investigations or anonymous tip line phone numbers.

If he was abducted (slim chance but not impossible, imo.), there'd have been a ransom call/text by now ?
If they were robbed and his mom killed, why take him ?
Admittedly this does raise questions; but will wait for an update from LE.


Rest in peace, Myrtle, and my condolences to her hurting loved ones.

Bolding mine.
Signs of a struggle ?
Items that were broken ?
A home invasion ?
Omo.

 

[justtrish]

I wonder what he did for work in recent years? Did he invest his NFL earnings and was he worth money and the wrong person knew this? Was he abducted? I don't think you need a ransom if the person you abduct is the one with the money. Maybe they can check his bank info to see if he's used the ATM or any other things that might indicate he was taken to obtain his money? For the family, I hope he is not involved in harming his mom and this was some home invasion/robbery gone very wrong.

I wonder what he did for work in recent years?

He has an LLC registered to him. Truth Finder has it listed as both Cross Board LLC and Cross the Board LLC. I can’t find any further info for either with a simple google search. It may just be for investing, etc.
