MAYWOOD, Ill. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a former NFL player after his 73-year-old mother’s body was found near a creek behind her suburban Chicago home.
Relatives told police Saturday that they could not find 35-year-old Sergio Brown or Myrtle Brown.
Officers found Myrtle Brown’s body and a medical examiner determined she had been injured during an assault.

Maywood is about 12 miles west of Chicago.
