Here I suppose, I'd say that's in Alicia. This is Marshall and his mother, Alicia, just feet away. He has cut her body up and plans to discard it in the remote mountains of the Sierra foothills. Over the next several weeks, a series of small mistakes in Marshall's. cover up would bring him face to face with local police and the FBI, watching detectives unknowingly walk past his murder scene and slowly discovering the monster he truly is. Do you know what she may be? Brother, I'm gonna keep her buck with you? I don't know. Have you guys thought about maybe she was trafficked?

It's approximately 6.30 p.m. is seen at a California when 24-year-old Alexis Gabe is seen at a Chevron gas station. While filling up her car, she receives a message from her boyfriend. Are you still coming over? She replies, I can only come by for a bit. After paying, Alexis gets back on the road and by 6.37 p.m., she's seen arriving at her boyfriend's house. He doesn't know it yet, but she's there to break up with him. A decision that will carry far greater consequences than she expects. Two hours pass. Then Alexis's car is seen leaving

Marshall's house, but something isn't right. The vehicle takes an unusual route. One Alexis never uses to get home, and just 12 minutes later, roughly six miles away, it pulls into a quiet residential neighborhood. A masked figure steps out of the car, noticeably larger than Alexis. Moments later, her phone pings. Did you make it home? And as the figure disappears into the distance, Alexis is never seen or heard from again. Is this a family member or friend? Family member. And how long ago do you last talk to her? No one's heard of her since she went to see her ex-boyfriend last night at 8.30. Is she not answering her phone or anything?

No, it's going straight to voicemail. On the line is Alexis Gabe's sister. Her tone is urgent as she insists on filing a missing persons report immediately. To better understand the situation, dispatch sends Officer Rod Coutney to the family's home. And that's where he learns why Alexis's family is already fearing the worst. Good morning. How you doing? I'm a detective with the police department.

I'm going to get some info from you guys. I'm going to start looking for Alexis. Bethany. That's okay? She ever make any sort of super statements? No. Okay. Is she generally pretty happy?

Yeah. Okay. She's always out. Not everything. She's always out? Do you know where she goes a lot of the time? With her friend. E and Ria.

She's with us yesterday too. Do she have any mental health issues? It's generally an antidepressant. Yeah, I know. That's what she said. That's what she kept looking out for the doctor. She's seeing the doctor. Okay.

But they have an accident with her boyfriend, car accident. She said she have a car car car parker appointment. Who's your boyfriend? The one that we know is Marshall. Marshall. And Jones, yeah. Okay. And we just found out yesterday.

The friend said Marshall are treading Alexis. If they're going to broke up, he's going to kill him or going to get Alexis. Oh. Okay. And this is Marshall? Marshall. Okay. Needless to say, the officer knows exactly who they need to speak with next. According to Alexis's mother, Marshall Jones is the boyfriend she went to see last. But even more troubling is her claim that he had threatened to harm himself or Alexis if they ever broke up.

As Countney wraps up his initial search, he relays the information to his sergeant. From there, requests are made for street CCTV footage, a real-time location. warrant for her phone, and most urgently, another officer is dispatched to Marshall's address. Later that afternoon, the officer arrives at the house. Knowing Marshall is one of the last people to see Alexis alive, the officer expects to gather more information about her whereabouts, but he's about to get much more than that. How y'all doing? Hey, is Marshall home? No. I don't know. I need this now? Yes. Yeah. Okay. How y'all? How y'all? How? How are you? doing today okay y'all be safe be careful now okay okay hey what's fine

oh hey I'm here you know Alexis yeah I was gonna say yeah so Gabe I'm sorry gay yeah her mom told me that she didn't come home so yeah because a saw spoke to her brother and friends and they're concerned oh I'm concerned too what was the last time you spoke to her SAR um You know what? I can... I'm the same way. Yeah, wait on. Um, so...

I'll show you my call. I talked to it throughout the day yesterday. I want to say 638 is when she told me that she was outside. Um, she... Here? Yeah. I let her in. We hung out for a couple hours. She left around nine. And did she see where she was going?

I'm yeah, I can show you text message. She said that the more you can get me the better man. Yeah, I was like I remember her saying This is from today. It's not delivering. I've been trying to call her I was like you still coming over you must still be sleeping. She's like I can only come by for a bit today I was like okay Because she was doing some other stuff for her job that she was doing some running around for it okay You know brother, I'm gonna keep her a buck with you. I honestly thought She went to go smoke with her friend Ria when she left here. Ria?

Ria, Maria, Maria. Oh, Maria. Yeah. Okay. I thought she went to go smoke with her because usually she won't tell me, you know, what she's doing until she's already going. So I thought she went there and but then when I kept on home about like 11 and I wouldn't get anything. Okay. Did she seem out of sorts when she came over yesterday, what she had a normal self?

whatever that may be. Yeah. I mean, she came in, we hugged, we kissed, we, you know, she watched me, you know, do my little heist on GTA, you know, playing my game and whatnot. I mean, we had to watch family guys. Okay. Oh, when she left, did you, did you see her leave? Um, yeah?

And I say yeah, because I mean, I opened the garage door and she left, so, you know. Okay. Also, she opened the garage door? Yeah. All right. At first glance, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark. Marshall appears far more willing to help than Alexis's family hinted towards. But as he recounts his last encounter with Alexis, his demeanor is oddly detached, at

times even attempting to make light of the situation. It's the kind of behavior that doesn't go unnoticed. But before wrapping up the interview, the officer would ask one of the strangest questions possible had a moment like this. Do you have a card? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. How are you two, you guys too, you guys too, you do?

Yeah. How many y'all be together? Like three going on four years. Okay. All right. I showed you my call, a text message. You ain't got a strap down in the house like a slave or none? No, I know.

No, I know you have to ask because it's a serious situation. Exactly. And I appreciate you trying to be light of it, but no, I do not. All right. All right. On that strange note, the interview reps, and the officer calls his sergeant, only to learn that while this conversation was taking place, a major discovery had just been made

few miles away. On a residential street in Antioch, Alexis' family comes across their daughter's car while organizing their own search and spreading the word on social media. Police are immediately informed of this discovery, and the car is towed and seized for forensic analysis. Inside the car, some troubling details quickly stand out. The keys are still in the ignition. The door is unlocked, and personal items are missing.

removing and analyzing the car's infotainment unit, investigators are able to track Alexis's precise movements before her disappearance. And just 12 minutes before the car was abandoned, it had been at Marshall's house, not her friend Maria's, as he had previously implied. These findings, along with the alleged death threat, prompt investigators to move Marshall from a person of interest to the primary suspect in Alexis' disappearance. The following day, two detectives arrive at Marshall's house, suspecting he is the last person to see her alive and may have been withholding vital information. However, they're also here for something else, something that will catch him completely off guard. Hey, I'm a detective minister, okay.

Are you Alexis's boyfriend? Okay, what's your name? Marshall. Marshall? Okay, yeah, we're still looking for her. Have you heard of her at all? I have not. I've been trying to call her. I've been texting and my text messages aren't getting delivered. My phone calls are going straight to voicemail.

Gotcha. Okay. Huh. Yeah, basically at this point, like, I think this is the last place that we know that she was at. Right. And so we're just, obviously, that's where we're kind of keying in on this area, you know? I understand. And like, I was telling her mom, like, hey, I saw her. This is the last time. Yeah. You know, and I just, I'm worried. Right. You know, and it's, it's. she's missing and that just means that she's missing it doesn't necessarily mean something happened to her so I'm really trying not to let my mind wander her friends have I'm not gonna say they've been putting me under scrutiny but they make they're making me feel like I did something and I did okay yeah anytime and boyfriend right and that's what I'm saying

everybody handles stress different you know and so I just I just want to rule everything out anything weird to happen here so you know I mean then we can move on to, hey, let's go look another area and see where she's at, you know? I understand. Are you cool if we go inside and look around real quick? It's not my house. It's my stepdad's, so, I mean, yeah, I can call them really fast to see. Yeah, that's fine.

Go ahead. Clearly uncomfortable with the request, Marshall agrees to call his stepfather the homeowner of the house. And as they wait for his approval, detectives would slowly begin to suspect. There's something inside the house, neither Marshall nor his stepfather wants them to find. Hey dad, um, Alexis went missing and the police just want to go through the house really fast to make sure that everything's fine. Is that okay? Okay. Um, he said that one of you could go in, but he would like the other one to stay out here.

No problem. Sure. You got a blast of anything? I don't. Yeah, you want to go in? Sure. All right. What's your dad's name?

Leslie. Leslie, okay, and that's the one you were talking to on the phone. All right, he said one of us come in. Do you want me to leave the door open? Yeah, yeah, that would be great. Especially, off around. Anything of hers that's here? I mean, there might be some clubs that she left over.

Okay. It's going to be in my room. My room's a mess. That's fine. That's fine? Cool. Is your right? This is my room?

This is my room? I know, like I said. It happens, bro. Yeah. You guys drink together, I'm assuming? Yeah, yeah. At the house. As the officer moves through the house,

Marshall's room quickly stands out, left in complete disarray. And as he inspects the room further, little does he know. This very place holds subtle clues and will soon become a crime scene. Is there upstairs? No, I'm sorry.

Sounds all right. Thank you. There's. You're good. And then this is other people's rooms? Yeah. Did you want to go on to that door? Do you want to go on to that door? Alright, I'm going to close this door.

Marius room is an absolute mess. He does. Focusing on the mess, the officer overlooks the attic, a place hiding a terrifying secret, and it's no accident. It's no accident. Marshall has been guiding him through certain areas, carefully steering him away from others. But despite the search turning up nothing, officers aren't done with him just yet. There's something else they want to ask.

No contact from her? None whatsoever. Okay. Phone's been off. You tried to call her, I'm assuming? Indeed. Do you mind hanging up with him real quick so we can... I'm going to ask you something. Would you be willing to give us your cell phone for a forensic download? Oh, yeah.

Okay. So I'm able to do all that stuff. What? What's the forensic download again? It just shows me all the information on your phone for a certain period of time. Oh, okay. It shows like, hey, was this phone here the whole time? Oh, yeah, for sure.

Stuff like that. Okay, yeah, for sure. And then I would just have you sign like a consent form. Okay. And then you can bring it down, sign the consent form down at the PD. And then I'd take your pass code and then I would do it that way. Okay. They want to do a forensic download just to make sure that, you know,

My phone is where I said it was, I hear where I said I was. But she was still here when he got home. Interestingly, detectives not only gain access to Marshall's phone, but also learned that his stepfather was allegedly at the house at the same time Alexis was there. So they make a note to speak with the homeowner as soon as possible to see if his account aligns with Marshalls. Shortly afterwards, Marshall gets into his stepfather's car and follows the officers to the station.

As he drives, officers ahead notice. something strange. He appears anxious, swerving slightly with something large in the back of his car obstructing his view. In reality, Marshall isn't just nervous. He's just realized he's driving straight to the police station with a car full of incriminating evidence. About 10 minutes later, Marshall arrives at the station, trying to steady himself, quietly questioning why he brought this car in the first place. And the second he steps out, He realizes the officers are on to him. Do you know what you've all happened?

Yeah, blankets and whatnot. Wait, do you actually have to search it? Or can you just look around? Because this isn't, it's my dad's car. I mean, I kind of just want to lift the gate so I can see inside, you know. Again, it's not my car. It's my dad's and you have my phone. I'll open the gate for you, though, so you can look inside.

That'd be great. We went to the driving, so... Try to get roomie some water. I mean, you can look in the bag. That's our chili cheesecake. Alright. Any of this hurts? No.

Because we would like to collect a DNA sample from her, right? So we have a reference on file, so will she back here? Yeah. Like, I don't... So is any of this, like... Is that for DNA... I don't know. Would you mind if we like took a blanket to test it or? I would because, yeah.

All right. And does she normally sit up in the front seat? Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna start a photo. We're not, you don't want us to look under the blankets or what? Huh? She would like to look under the blankets. I don't want you to think I have a dead body or you're just here.

No, I was just, these are men all. Yeah. Okay. Your step-down or you're real dead? My step-dad. Gotcha. All right, cool. Naturally, Marshall's unwillingness to show what's in the trunk

immediately raises red flags for the officers. Once it's opened, they find multiple blankets, pillows, and food waste, with Marshall insisting that he and Alexis used the car as a bed at the drive-in. With suspicion mounting, they get Marshall to sign a consent form, download the data from his phone, and then return it to him. And as they let him go, detectives believe the contents of Marshall's phone may finally reveal what he's been hiding, unaware that this entire investigation is about to start going downhill. The next day, as investigators prepare to review the data from Marshall's phone,

they notice the download process has failed, leaving them with nothing. Realizing Marshall's willingness to cooperate may already be reaching its limits, detectives decide not to push any further for now and instead turn their attention elsewhere. There's still one person they haven't spoken to yet. Marshall's stepfather, the homeowner who was allegedly inside the house the same night Alexis disappeared. If something happened to her that night, he may have witnessed it. With that in mind, they drive back to the house to speak with him, where they'll begin to suspect that not everyone wants them to discover the truth behind Alexis's disappearance.

Hey, Mr. Clark. Hey, we're just trying to follow up on everything going on with Alexis. We haven't talked to you yet. Marshall had said that you were here when Alexis is here on Wednesday night. Did you see Alexis here on 26? Yeah, I was with you. I come. She's here, she's here.

She's not, well, I see, I see her. Don't. You don't recall seeing her car here? No, I do that. And you don't remember seeing her talking to her that night? talking to her that night. No, I didn't see her there that night. No, Wednesday.

How's Marshall holding up with all this? He's, um, she's upset. Well, for sure. I mean, I mean, um, just now finding out this girlfriend's coming to miss her. I mean, I found out yesterday with the note coming in the flyer. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm saying that she's missing.

I'm like, what the hell's going on? What would she like is just an everyday person? Like, she's great? Yeah. I mean, she's just a good young lady. She never brought drama to your house or anything like that. I mean, aside from a couple of runners. I mean, they never argued in front of me. But like she never brought any outside BS to your house or anything like that.

No. Is Marshall around? I know one of the detectives was trying to reach him and he had to return to his phone call. Marshall's not here. And I say he's going to go talk to his mom. Me and his mom don't really, I kind of say like that. With this information, police now know where to look for Marshall next, his mother's house.

What catches the officers off guard, however, is Leslie's refusal to confirm being with Marshall and Alexis the night she disappeared, directly contradicting what Marshall had previously told investigators. Now faced with more questions than answers, officers leave to figure out their next move. From this point forward, the investigation into Alexis' disappearance quietly begins to shift in a much darker direction. During the next several days, police visit Marshall's mother, Alicia Clark, looking for her son.

But suspiciously, she claims she hasn't seen him since the night his girlfriend Alexis vanished. By now, investigators begin to consider a troubling possibility. Marshall may be on the run, and his family may even be covering for him, but their biggest piece of evidence is still to come. Just as the investigation seems to stall, CCTV footage is recovered from the route Alicia's car took the night she vanished. For roughly 12 minutes, the car is seen speeding from Marshall's home to the residential area where it's eventually abandoned. A masked figure is seen stepping out of the car, noticeably larger than Alexis, with a more masculine build. As detectives begin tracking the

figures movements through nearby cameras, they watch it move calmly for over a mile until it arrives somewhere completely unexpected. Marshall's mother's house. This development makes investigators certain that the masked figure was none other than their prime suspect, Marshall. And with that, an emergency search warrant for his home is secured immediately. On February 1st, more than a dozen officers arrive at the house convinced there is far more inside than Marshall originally let them see. Oakley PD search warrant, open up. All right.

Press the door. Yeah, we need that fry. Uh-huh. Try more. Oakley PD! The left, check the left. Cut the left. His officers move through the house, neither Marshall nor his stepfather are

anywhere to be found. But then, as they prepare to enter the garage, it doesn't take long for a vile discovery to emerge. Spellet? Oh, like dead body? Yep. In the laundry room. I was a little compartment this time. Right here, yeah?

Yeah, right in here. I've got a big width. Yep. Who got the backyard? All officers begin to notice a distinct smell, one they believe to be the odor of a decomposing body. The scent appears to be coming from the laundry room, and leads up towards the attic. So officers prepare to investigate and brace themselves for the worst.

It looks undisturbed. Are we agreeing? Um, let's have been open before. I don't know. It's right here, just. Yeah, this points straight out to the garage. So that's the thing, is like, we gotta check the crawl space.

Anybody check inside that SUV or take a peek inside? I didn't see anything that's locked. Okay. Scott, I'm gonna have this door closed for a second. I mean, there's pathways where they walked for electrical, but I don't see... No footprints, no drag marks. No, I mean, it's just you can see where they're walking... Okay.

...so they can smell something right where you're at, Logan. Like there's a bit, it's coming from the vent kind of over here. Yeah, once we hit this area and start walking to the garage is where I smelt it. Hmm? Does that look like blood in here? You see? Black hair. Look at...

That paint? It looks like we're on paint so that's not to be blood. All right, let's, uh, this flops. Let's clear up. After following the scent, officers come up empty-handed. But they do uncover what appears to be dried blood. After clearing the entire house, officers are still unable to locate the source of the smell, so a canine unit is called in.

If human remains are hidden somewhere on the property, this dog may be their best bet on fighting them. I don't know if I got a big whiff right in the laundry room. Oh, not like this thick body. Oh, well, see what we get? Well, worries. Had none the other thing he can't see what you check it. Good girl. Then that's the attached garage. Oh, can we go in? Yes. Do you guys like that or did? You didn't bring that in? You saw her up the wall here? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's just checking odor. As I said, you've worked can and so we didn't get final. And that was the kind of thing where it's like,

I had some weird odor, but it's not all of her behaviors, which was more what we had there. And of course, you and I both know there could be, you could have vacuumed up a tissue that had a bloody nose. Yeah. Okay, good girl. What a toy? It's not saying that you'd ploy. All right, that's all we got. Somewhat surprisingly, the handler isn't fully convinced the dog has detected human remains.

However, several indications suggest it has picked up on something suspicious, as it repeatedly returns. to Marshall's room sits in one spot while staring at its handler and most alarmingly begins clawing at the wall, a sign the odor may be coming from the attic. But even after multiple additional searches and with more canine units brought in, officers are left with troubling yet inconclusive results. Small traces of blood, the presence of bleach and other cleaning supplies, and a missing shower curtain. Following these discoveries, officers secure the scene and begin working to obtain real-time location data for Marshall's phone, now fully suspecting they have a homicide on their hands.

Over the next several weeks, officers are seemingly no closer to finding Marshall. Neither his mother nor his stepfather appear willing to cooperate any further. But every time the investigation seems like it's losing momentum, Alexis Gabe's family keeps pushing forward, pressuring police to find their daughter and bring her justice. The pressure soon begins to pay off when investigators finally obtain a real-time location warrant for Marshall's phone and discover he's moved to Vagaville, California, roughly an hour and a half from his home. After a quick check, they find out exactly where that location leads, his sister's house, so officers quickly head to her address hoping to find Marshall there.

What's your name? Arianna. Ariana. I'm James. Nice to meet you. Obviously, you know why you're here, right? I do. When he got here, he was awesome. While he was here, that's when I saw the first flyer for Alexis. And that's when I started putting the pieces together what could be.

I said, get your shit. Tomorrow, you got to be gone. I want nothing to do with this. And his gun was underneath. I lost my shit. What was their relationship like from Alexis and Marshall? So it got toxic over. for the last year and a half.

He was a lot more torn up about them breaking up than about her being missing. I will say that, irreputably. Looking back on it, my brother does have sociopathic and narcissistic tendencies about himself. Your mom and Marshall are close, right? Yes. Do you think that she's helped him out in any way?

Will she get in trouble? I hope not. I mean, I hope in the end of all this, she'll be as cooperative as you are. Because ultimately, your brother made the choice choice that he made. Yes. Right?

So do you think he went to Vegas? No. I believe this is the number that he's using. If you guys want to take it, that's fine. Most worryingly for officers, Ariana seems to suspect someone else may be helping Marshall evade police. However, Arianna also gives them something significant, Marshall's new phone number. So after wrapping up the interview, investigators move quickly to track his location.

This is when they discover that Marshall's new phone number. Marshall's phone is pinging all the way back to his mother, Alicia Clark's house. Up to this point, Alicia has been telling police she doesn't know where Marshall is. Now, detectives begin to suspect she's lying and may even be actively hiding from police. Over the next few hours, police secure an emergency search warrant for Alicia's house. Officers rushed to the location knowing full well Marshall could disappear again at any moment. But little do they know. the lead they're following is actually a setup.

Oh, the police search warrant. Come to the door. Hello. That's okay. Let's open the door for me. Thank you. All right, ma'am. Step out, please.

Okay. I understand. She's okay. She's okay. Are you able to make a little bit of here for a minute while we service is warrant? Oh, I'm not. Let me see.

Anybody else inside? After escorting Alicia and her daughter outside, officers move in to search the house, but they find no one else inside. They do, however, spot a working camera outside the home, one they immediately begin trying to obtain a warrant for. Despite Marshall's absence, the forensics team insists that his phone is still actively pinging inside the house. By now, investigators know something isn't adding up. So they prepare to question Alicia, starting with the very reason they're here in the first place. Where's the best place? Stop to me. What's gone on?

So we're obviously here for a reason, and there's a couple of reasons. We're here for Marshall's phone. So we know it's here, but we don't want to tear your house apart too much. So if you could direct this to it, so I don't have to mess anything up. Like, where is the phone? It's upstairs in my closet and the green Hawaiian shirt. I have a question, what do you guys need it for? You guys phoned it.

So the cell phone thing, they went and did the download, but some of the files got screwed up so we don't have everything. So we need that and plus we know that he's had the phone after that. So that's the evidence that we're looking. Strangely, Alicia appears unusually cordial with the detectives. Despite having her house breached, she's even admitted to holding a wanted suspect's phone, yet treats it as if it's nothing serious.

By now, investigators are more than suspicious of her involvement. They're convinced she not only knows where Marshall is, but more importantly, what he did to Alexis. So, do you know where Marshall is? He has to go and do not know. I do not know. I have intentioned I told him, do not tell me what. It's just the situation I don't want to know. So you're distancing yourself?

Oh, God, no, not at all. Not at all. I just know this, this is, this isn't who we are. I mean. And we don't believe that. Yeah, we just, better not. We just, you guys are just doing you. Right, we have to, we have to try our best to get answers, right? I'm definitely not distancing my son. Okay. That's not the reason.

What do you know? I know that the two of them had a solid relationship. I mean, for Valentine's Day, he wanted to get her an edible arrangement. I couldn't afford it. And so he went and got the chocolate, all of the stuff, filled her an edible arrangement. I like that. I mean, that's the kind of guy he is. I've told him since he was younger, when you're dating,

you want to make sure that you are so good to her that she's going to be comparing every other guy to you. Right away, this description of Marshall doesn't quite align with what investigators believe about their suspect, especially given his sister's earlier claims that he's a narcissist and a sociopath. If Alicia is fully open, aware of her son's alleged crime, then defending his character like this is not only disturbing, it's something most people would find nearly impossible to do.

Sensing this may be more difficult for her than she's letting on, detectives decide to shift their approach, appealing to her emotions, hoping that if this is all an act, it's about to break. Because I mean, obviously we're still looking. She's still out there somewhere, and things know, like, yeah. Yeah, it's hard to look that family in the face and tell them, hey, look, we don't really have anything to tell you. Have you guys thought about maybe she was human trait? Have you guys found that in-home?

I've heard that some people posting stuff on the internet and stuff, but a lot of people are not, they don't have a good grasp on how human-j-being works. Right. You can't just snatch up a 24-year-old, 100-70-pound female. I mean, I'm just going to be straight up, but did you think you have Marshall had anything to do with it? God, no. No. No. Even if there's evidence that would suggest that he has something to do with it.

You guys would have to prove it beyond a reason. Obviously. I don't want to leave you thinking that, though, the lack of a better term, just... I know. Oh, God, no. No. Not at all. There's a reason. Um, I mean, I can only leave you with that.

I can't, I can't, like. That's even saying too much. You tell me in, I don't want, I don't want you to like, to just, like I just said, I mean, we've done, we've been, both agencies here and the DA's offices, that we've all been working on this for three months now. We've looked every which way. Despite the detective's best efforts, Alicia doesn't appear to budge. And the worst part is that her dismissive attitude seems to work.

Although officers inside managed to locate Marshall's phone, they find it's been wiped completely clean. And with nothing concrete tying Alicia to the disappearance, investigators are once again forced to leave empty-handed. With no body, no confession, and no idea where Marshall may have gone, Alexis's case slowly starts going cold. Months go by, with no new leads on Marshall's whereabouts. But then, investigators finally secure a warrant and obtain the CCTV footage for his mother's house and as detectives start analyzing the footage they begin to understand how

Marshall managed to stay one step ahead of investigators for so long. Inside these large plastic bags investigators believe are Alicia's remains and suspect Marshall's mother was aware of it. Following these developments, investigators reach out to Marshall's sister and learn he has a friend at an apartment complex in Kent and may be hiding there. Using travel records, CCTV footage, and anonymous tips, they zero in on a specific location, the Skyview 3322 apartments. On June 1st, more than four months after Alexis Gabe disappeared, the task force moves in to serve a murder warrant and finally arrest Marshall. But as they arrive and prepare to breach, nothing about this operation is about to go as planned.

After emerging with a kitchen knife, Marshall is shot multiple. times by three officers. Despite immediate medical aid, he is pronounced dead at the scene. The following day, Paul Beard, chief of the Oakley Police Department, holds a press conference, announcing that Alexis Gabe's case is now officially being treated as a homicide, and that Marshall Curtis Jones had been charged with her murder before being shot and killed. But any real sense of closure for Alexis's family would not come until much, much later. On November 3rd, while metal detecting near Jackson Road in Plymouth, a local resident discovers what he believes to be human remains and immediately calls 911.

When officers arrive, they're left speechless. Scattered across the mountains are the remains of a young woman. A forensic odontologist is brought in and using dental records confirms the remains are those of Alexis Gabe. In the aftermath, her family expresses a mix of devastation and relief. They continue pushing for charges against Marshall's mother and hold memorials in Alexis's honor. To this day, Alexis's family continues demanding justice and launching a petition criticizing the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office for its handling of the case and calling for stronger accountability for victims' families.

But despite these efforts, Marshall's mother is only temporarily detained. Without sufficient evidence, she is never charged as an accomplice. And the same is true for the rest of Marshall's relatives. something that continues to infuriate Alexis' family to this day. As of now, there is still no definitive motive for Alexis' murder, only that their relationship was deeply toxic. And perhaps, when Alexis finally decided to break up with him, Marshall made a final, irreversible decision.

If he couldn't have her, then no one could.
