The whereabouts of quarterback Tom Brady’s game jersey from February’s historic Super Bowl is no longer an unsolved mystery.

FBI and Mexican authorities said they found the prized No. 12  threads — as well as Brady’s  New England Patriots jersey from Super Bowl 2015 — in possession of a Mexican journalist who had a habit of walking off with valued memorabilia from Super Bowls.

The National Football League said they recovered both of Brady’s jerseys and  the missing helmet worn by Denver Broncos linebacker Vonn Miller in the 2016 Super Bowl, won by Denver over the Carolina Panthers. Miller was the game’s MVP.

Brady was the MVP of the Patriots 2015 Super Bowl win over the Seattle Seahawks, and also the unprecedented 2017 Super Bowl comeback victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Feb. 5 in Houston’s NRG Stadium.

After the game, Brady complained his game jersey was missing from an equipment bag where he placed it and he would like it back. “Someone stole it,” Brady said at the time. “It was right here,” he was overheard saying. “I know exactly where I put it.”

Brady asked the media and public to notify him if anyone tried to sell it on the internet.

A Houston police report and Goldin Auctions valued the jersey at $500,000. Patriots owner Robert Kraft compared it to “taking a great Chagall or Picasso or something.”

The National Football League identified the suspected thief as Mauricio Ortego, an editor with the Mexico City tabloid Diario La Prensa. The league said he had been credentialed to cover the last three Super Bowls and the locker rooms of the winning teams.

Ortego’s newspaper is owned by a large Mexican media company, OEM. It said in a statement that  he resigned March 14 because of family health issues. The FBI and Mexican authorities had targeted him as a prime suspect in the Brady jersey case in late February.

Fox Sports released a video Monday from the Patriots Super Bowl locker room showing a man, his face blurred, wearing a backpack and credential tag, following coach Bill Belichick into the room. He is then seen carrying an object underneath his arm as he exits.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo, whose department initiated the investigation into Brady’s missing jersey, said an informant from Houston led the FBI and Mexican authorities to Ortego.

Authorities said they are considering criminal charges against Ortego, pending further investigation. The value of the jersey would make it a first-degree felony crime in the state of Texas.
