Myrtle Brown returns from a group trip to Aruba, celebrates her 73rd birthday, then goes missing.

Family members get alarmed after not being able to contact the mom of 2. Then it's discovered son Sergio Brown, a former NFL player, is also missing. The mother and son were last seen together by a neighbor. Then Sergio Brown is seen on Ring doorbell camera footage taking out the trash and lighting a bonfire. Items are missing from the Brown home, including an iPad, credit cards, a debit card, and Myrtle Brown's phone.

Myrtle Brown’s body is found alongside a creek near the home, approximately 100 to 150 feet away from the back door. Her body is wrapped in a sheet. The medical examiner ruled Myrtle's death a homicide, citing multiple assault-related injuries..... blunt force trauma. 

Sergio Brown begins to post on Instagram posts, but the posts are strange. In one post Sergio said that reports of his mother's death were  "fake news" claiming she was on vacation.  He also claimed he was kidnapped by the FBI.  

Sergio Brown is arrested for his mother's death and extradited. In his possession are his mother's iPad and credit cards.
