I guess he's not hiding now.
He needs to be picked up for a Mental Health Evaluation.

With him having played professional football it is more likely he suffers from CTE to some extent although taking off to Mexico looks like a guilty cognitive choice. Just speculating not fact.Or he wants everyone to think he's nuts. (Movie: Primal Fear)
Can't think of a better way to skirt a murder charge than claiming insanity as a defense.

IMO, he was stable while he was trying to live the dream of being a professional football player. When that dream ended might have been the start of his mental health problems. At 35 he was living with his mom suggesting to me he didn't have much income. I think he bounced between teams because he honestly wasn't that good.He’s got some pretty serious mental health issues going on here. He is not a well man. I wonder if his mental instability was reason for him bouncing around to 5 different teams in 6 years?
He’s delusional and perhaps even paranoid.
Yikes.
Did this guy even play enough to get hit 100 times in his entire career?The effects of CTE on the brain shouldn’t be underestimated— and football players have some of the worst cases of it from being hit in the head hundreds of times a WEEK, sometimes for years. CTE sometimes doesn’t become apparent until years later and it can cause a host of mental and neurological issues. Not saying Sergio doesn’t have other mental health issues or that he’s not accountable for his actions, but it definitely explains a lot of the bizarre behavior. I have a close loved one who played football at some pretty high levels who has told me privately he would never let his sons play the sport, because he’s seen the effect it’s had on some of his peers and how hard it is on the body and brain to play for years. I’m actually a big football fan myself but the pattern can’t be ignored.
Regardless of whether he is a suspect in this horrible case or not, he needs to be found soon because he is clearly not rooted in reality right now and needs serious help before he makes bad choices that could harm himself or others.
MOO.
you would also have to consider his high school career, and his college career added to his professional career.Did this guy even play enough to get hit 100 times in his entire career?
Unless he was the tackle dummy for every team he was on, I don't see him playing enough to get hit enough to have CTE.

Charlie Batch, Super Bowl champ with the Pittsburgh Steelers who played for the NFL for over 15 years, spoke to Julie Grant about NFL player wellness and mental health when players transition away from football.IMO, he was stable while he was trying to live the dream of being a professional football player.

Praying this kid is located soon for the sake of all involved.

From what I can see he played for at least four seasons, so that’s 4 seasons of minimum 4-5 days of practice where actual playing situations (including tackling) are simulated. Add off-season training that NFL athletes are required to do, plus his college and high school playing careers. He’s also a safety, a defensive position who’s entire job is to cover players “deep” and be the last line of defense to prevent the opposite team from getting to the end zone, which means he was definitely taking a lot of contact. I don’t think him getting hit 100 times or even 200 times throughout all that time is far fetched.Did this guy even play enough to get hit 100 times in his entire career?

Football is inherently a contact sport. Entertaining, but definitely not gentle on the body.

Even high school football players who have never played collegiate or professional ball have been found with significant CTE. We don’t know why some people are more susceptible to getting CTE, nor why some demonstrate more severe behavioral changes. A much-discussed example would be a fairly “normal” middle class guy murdering his best friend as the late NFL player and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez did. He was found to have severe CTE upon his death at age 27.Did this guy even play enough to get hit 100 times in his entire career?
