Mother Catches Son Bringing Chopped Up Body Into Her House

Here I hold my hands and hold my hands. I can't believe what he did to that hot man. This is Marshall and his mother, Alicia, just feet away inside the trunk lies the dead body of Marshall's girlfriend. He has cut her body up and plans to discard it in the remote mountains of the seer of 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 it was, baby?" "I'm gonna keep it from back with you." "I don't know." "Have you guys thought about, maybe, she was trafficked." And so approximately 6.30 p.m. in Antioch, 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 6.30 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 6 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. Here's Farman. Hello, my name's Alexis. This is a family member or a friend? Family member? And how long would you last talk to her? No one said to her since she went to see her ex-boyfriend last night at 8.30 p.m., and she died after her phone or anything. Now it's going to take place now. On the line is Alexis Gabe's sister. Her tone is urgent, as she insists on filing a missing person's reporting immediately. To better understand the situation, this match sends officer Rod County to the family's home, and that's where he learns why Alexis' family is already fearing the worst. Good morning. How are you doing? I'm detective at the police department. I'm going to get some info from you guys, and I'm going to start looking for Alexis. That's okay. Did she ever make any sort of statements? No. Is she generally pretty happy? She's always out. She's always out. Do you know where she goes or another time? We have a friend. He and Ria. She's here yesterday too. If you have any mental health issues, this is generally an antidepressant. Yeah, I know. That's what she said. That's what she's looking for the doctor. She's seeing the doctor. Okay. When they have an accident with her ex-boyfriend, car accident, besides you have a car after a appointment. Who's your boyfriend? The one that we know is Marshall. Marshall. Can we just find out yesterday? The friend said Marshall had treading Alexis. If they're going to broke up, he's going to kill 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' 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 County 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, you, is Marshall home? No. I don't know. Is he going to stop? Yes. Okay. How y'all doing today? Good. Okay. Y'all be safe. Be careful now, okay? Fuck! That's fine. Hey. You know Alexis, yeah, I'm going to say yes. Okay. Yeah, sorry. Her mom told me that she didn't come home. So, yeah, 'cause I spoke to her brother and friend, Nicholas. Oh, I'm sorry, too. Well, it was the last time you spoke to her, so. You know what? I can. I'm saying the same way. Yeah. Um, so. Show you my collar. I talked to her throughout the day yesterday. I want to say 638 is when she told me that she was outside. Um, she. Here? Yeah. I lettering the hung out for a couple hours. She left around nine. And then she said where she was going? Um, yeah, I guess she texted. She said that. The more you get me the better, man. Yeah, I remember her saying, "This is from today. It's not delivering. I've been trying to call her." Um, I was like, "You're still coming over. You must still be asleep." She's like, "I can only come by for a bit today." I was like, "Okay." Um, 'cause she was doing some other stuff for her job that she was doing some running around for it. Okay. Yeah, I knew where she may be. You know? Brother, I'm going to keep her back with you. I honestly thought she went to go smoke with her friend Ria when she left here. Ria? Ria, Maria, Ria. Oh, Maria. Yeah. Okay. Um, I thought she went to go smoke with her, 'cause usually she won't tell me, you know, what she's doing till she's already doing. Uh-huh. Um, so I thought she went there and. But then when I kept them home, I'm like 11 and. I wouldn't get anything. Okay. Did she. Did she see out of sorts when she came over yesterday? Or was she going to know myself? Whatever that may be? Yeah. She came in, we hugged, we kissed, we hurt her, she watched me, uh, you know, do my little high-time GTA, you know, took it my game with it, and I mean, we had to work with her family guy. Okay. Oh, it was fine. What she left? Did you. Did you see her? Did you see her leave? Um. Yeah? And I said, yeah, because I mean, I opened the garage door, she left, so I mean, okay. Also, she opened the garage door? Yeah. At first glance, Marshall appears far more willing to help than Alexis' 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, at a moment like this. Do you have a card? Yeah. How are you two with you guys today? Yeah. How many of you have been together? Like, three going on four years. Okay. All right. I'm going to show you my call. I'll text my phone. You got a strap down on the house. I'll explain when I'm done. No, I know. No, I know you have to ask. Yeah. I have to get this way. Exactly. And I appreciate you trying to be light of it, but no. Okay, I do not. All right. On that strange note, the interview wraps, and the officer calls his sergeant only to learn that, while this conversation was taking place, a major discovery had just been made a few miles away. On a residential street in Antioch, Alexis's 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. After removing and analyzing the car's infotainment unit, investigators aren't 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's 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. information. However, they're also here for something else, something that will catch him completely off-guard. "Hey, um, I'm about to take a minute to relocate. Are you Alexis's boyfriend? Okay, what's your name? Marshall? Marshall, okay. Yeah, we're still looking for. Have you heard from her at all? I have not. I've been trying to call her. I've been texting. I expect she's not getting delivered. My phone calls are going straight to voicemail. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah, basically, at this point, 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 teeing 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, 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 to let my mind wander for friends have, I'm not going to say they've been putting you on a scrutiny, but they make, they're making me feel like I did something and I did. Okay. Yeah, I mean, anytime. Boyfriend. Right. And that's what I'm saying. Oh, it's pretty stressful. Yeah. And so I just, I just want to rule everything out, anything weird that happened 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. It's cool if we go inside and look around real quick. It's not my house, it's my stepdad, so I mean, yeah, I mean, I could call him the fastness. Yeah, that's one. 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 we just want to look at the house, just to ensure that everything is fine. Is that okay? Okay. Um, he said that one of you could go in, so you would like the other one to stay out here. No problem? Sure. You got a blast out of anything? I do. Yeah, you do. You want to go in? Sure. All right. Hold that for me. All right. Leslie? Leslie? Leslie, okay. That's one you were talking to on the phone. All right. You said one of us would come in. Cool. Do you want me to leave the door open? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's it. Off the route. Anything of hers that's here? Um, I mean, there might be some clothes that she left over. Okay. It's going to be in my room. My room is the best. That's why? Yeah. Um, you guys drink together, I'm assuming? Uh-huh. Yeah. That's the house. As the officer moves through the house, Marshall's room quickly stands out, left incomplete 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? Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. There she is. All right. You're good. And then this is other people's rooms. Yeah. All right, I'm going to close this door. No, the ordinary room is an absolute mess. He does. The officer overlooks the attic, a place hiding its terrifying secret, and hits 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. Okay. Okay. And then I would just have you sign like a consent form, and then you can bring it down, sign the consent form down at the PD, and then I'd take your passcode, 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 it was. Yeah. But she was still here when he got home. Interestingly, detectives not only gain access to Marshall's phone, but also learn 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 a 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. You know what you both have, um, yeah, blankets and whatnot. Uh, wait, you actually have to search it or can you just look around because this isn't it's my dad's car. No, no, no. Wait, I mean, I kind of just want to lift the gate so I can see inside, you know. This is cool. Again, it's not my car, it's my dad's, and you have my phone, so I, you know, open the gate for you, though, so you can look inside the gate. We went to the driving, so we tried to give roomies some water. I mean, you can look in the bag. That's our chili cheese steak. Okay. Um, any of this hurts? Uh, no. Because we would like to collect a DNA sample from her. Right? We have a reference on file, so we'll shoot back here. Uh, yeah, like, I don't know. So as any of this, like, with, you know, I don't know, would you mind if we like took them like it to test it or I've laid because, yeah, all right. And does she normally sit up in the front seat? Um, yeah. Oh, no, you don't want us to look under the mic, and so I, uh, she would like to look under the mic. I don't want you to think I have a dead body or you know, I was just, is there a vinyl? Yeah. Okay. This is your, your stubbed out here, real dead. My stubbed out. Got you. 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 use 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. They're 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' disappearance. So, I'm going to see him. I'm 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 was saying that she's missing. I'm away with the hells. God. Oh, what would she like is just And every day person like she said, yeah, I mean, she's just a good young lady. She never brought drama to your house and anything like that I mean, they're aside from couples. I mean, they never argued in front of me, but like she never brought any house side BS to your house or anything like that Is Marshall around? I know one of the defectors we're trying to Reach him and he had a return to his phone call Marshall's not here and I think he's gonna go talk to his mom. I mean, his mom don't really But I can't say like that with this information police now know where to look for Marshall next his mother's house What catches the officers of 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's 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 root Alicia's car took the night she vanished For roughly 12 minutes the car is seen speeding for Marshall's home to the residential area where it's eventually Spandent a masked figure is seen stepping out of the car noticeably larger than Alexis with a more masculine build as Detectives begin tracking the figure's 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 O.K.P.D. search warrant open up Yes, we need that right O.K.P.D. Come out with your hands up Check the left check the left I got a door on the right check that door Think about the hands up search line As 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 Yeah This multiple 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 The way of green and let's be open before I don't know Right here. Yeah, it's point straight up to the garage. Yeah, so that's the thing is like we got to check the crawl space Anybody check inside that issue be or take a peek inside? I didn't see anything. It's locked. Okay It's got a map of this door close for a second Maybe there's pathways when they walked for electrical, but I don't see no footprints no drag marks. Yeah, I mean, it's just you can see where they're walking. Okay doing something Like there's a bed it's coming from the bed kind of yeah, once we hit this area and start walking to the garage is where I smelt it Can you see? 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 keen and unit is called in if human remains are hidden Somewhere on the property this dog may be their best bet on finding them. I don't know. I got a big whip right in the laundry room , okay, okay, okay, that's the attached garage. Oh, yes Do you guys like that or do? Oh, I don't know. We didn't bring that in You saw her go up the wall here. Yeah, so it's just checking odor as I said you've worked Can 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 bloody nose Yeah, okay good girl. What are you doing? What are we doing? 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 Assign 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 That 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 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 with in the pieces together What could be as they get you tomorrow? He got to be gone I I want nothing to do with this and as gun was underneath I lost my What was their relationship like? from Marshall. So it got toxic over the last year in a hand. He was a lot more torn up about them breaking up than about her being missing. I will say that. Irrefutably. Looking back on it, my brother does have sociopath 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? Well, she's getting 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 that he made, 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 worrying lay for officers, Ariana seems to suspect someone else may be helping Marshall evade police. However, Ariana 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 phone is peeing 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, so open door for me. All right, ma'am, step out, please." "Oh, just take that, just take that, just take that." "Where are you, Ashley?" "She's okay." "What are you going to do right here for a minute while we search the warrant?" "Oh, yeah, I'm very, very sure, although I'd have had a read." "Let me see what you can do." "Anybody else inside?" "No." 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 forensic 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. "Of course the best place." "Oh, that's out there. Is that a.?" "Talk to me once upon a. " "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 get to wreck this too, and so I don't have, like, mess anything up, like, where is the phone?" "It's upstairs in my closet and the green wine shirt." "I have a question. What do you guys need it for?" "You guys found 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 we just have 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. "Do you know where Marshall is? He's obviously not here, so you know where Marshall is?" "He has to go and do that now. I do not know. I've been sent to my told and do not tell him really." "It's just this 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 isn't who we are. I mean. " "And we don't believe that. We're just better not." "You guys are just doing your job." "We have to try our best to get answers right, so that's why we do this." "I'm definitely not distancing my son. 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. He built her an edible arrangement." "Oh, I got it." "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. She's going to be comparing every other guy." 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 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 maybe more difficult for her than she's letting on, detectives decide to shift their approach uphealing to her emotions, hoping that if this is all an act, it's about a break. "I mean, obviously, we're still looking. She's still out there somewhere, and things don't look good." "Yeah, it's hard to look at 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? So you guys found that in home?" "I've heard that some people posting stuff on the internet and stuff. A lot of people are not, they don't have a good grasp on how human being works." "Right. You can't just snatch up a 24-year-old, under 70-pound female." "I mean, I'm just going to be straight up, but do you think do you have a bit of martial art or anything?" "Go ahead, 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 it's a little more like a better term, just. " "I know, oh god, no, no, there's a reason. I mean, I can only leave you with that. I can't let's even say something." "You tell me, I don't want you to just. Like I just said, I mean, we've done, we've been told agencies here and the VA's officers 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 nobody, 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 from 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 our 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 and 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 33-22 apartments. On June 1st, more than four months after Alexis gave 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 has 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' 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, their left speechless. Scattered across the mountains are the remains of a young woman. Forensicodontologist 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' honor. To this day, Alexis' family continues demanding justice and launching a petition criticizing the Contracosta 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. Not 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.
