When she visited their home, it felt odd, and the police later found Myrtle\u2019s body near a creek behind the house, her death ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n<p>Sergio Brown, 35, remains missing, and his role in this case is unclear. Sergio had a successful NFL career, playing for the Patriots, Colts, Bills, and Jaguars over seven seasons.
