Mother Catches Son Bringing Chopped Up Body Into Her House · The Empire of Wealth

0:11
Speaker 1: This is Marshall and his mother Alicia. Just feet away
0:16
inside the trunk lies the dead body of Marshall's girlfriend.
0:20
He has cut her body up and plans to discard
0:23
it in the remote mountains of the Sierra Foothills. Over
0:28
the next several weeks, a series of small mistakes in
0:31
Marshall's cover up would bring him face to face with
0:34
local police and the FBI, watching detectives unknowingly walk past
0:39
his murder scene and slowly discovering the monster he truly is.
0:45
Speaker 2: You have you guys thought about maybe she was trafficked.
1:04
Speaker 1: It's approximately six thirty PM in Antioch, California, when twenty
1:08
four year old Alexis Gabe is seen at a Chevron
1:11
gas station. While filling up her car, she receives a
1:14
message from her boyfriend. Are you still coming over? She replies,
1:18
I can only come by for a bit. After paying,
1:21
Alexis gets back on the road, and by six thirty
1:24
seven PM she's seen arriving at her boyfriend's house. He
1:27
doesn't know it yet, but she's there to break up
1:30
with him, a decision that will carry far greater consequences
1:35
than she expects. Two hours pass then Alexis's car is
1:41
seen leaving Marshall's house, but something isn't right. The vehicle
1:46
takes an unusual route, one Alexis never uses to get home,
1:50
and just twelve minutes later, roughly six miles away, it
1:53
pulls into a quiet residential neighborhood. A masked figure steps
1:57
out of the car, noticeably larger than Alexis. Moments later,
2:02
her phone pings, did you make it home? And as
2:05
the figure disappears into the distance, Alexis is never seen
2:10
or heard from again.
2:14
Speaker 3: Sure, I think the police it is a family member
2:18
or friend a family members.
2:21
Speaker 2: And how long do you talk to hers? No one
2:23
says of her, since she went to see.
2:25
Speaker 4: Her ex boyfriend last night.
2:26
Speaker 5: At eight thirty and she got after her phone racing.
2:30
Speaker 6: Now it's going straight to police.
2:33
Speaker 1: On the line is Alexis Gabe's sister. Her tone is
2:36
urgent as she insists on filing a missing person's report immediately.
2:40
To better understand the situation, Dispatchison's officer Rod Coutney to
2:44
the family's home, and that's where he learns why Alexis's
2:48
family is already fearing the worst.
2:52
Speaker 5: Good morning, how you doing? I'm a detective of what
2:55
the police for at. I'm going to get some info
2:57
from the US and I'm going to start looking for Alexis.
3:00
Speaker 4: That's that's okay, Okay.
3:10
Speaker 5: She ever make any like sort of superstatements, no, okay?
3:16
Speaker 3: Is she uh generally pretty happy?
3:19
Speaker 4: Yea.
3:21
Speaker 5: She's always out, always out. Do you know where she
3:25
goes a lot of the time.
3:26
Speaker 7: With her friend?
3:27
Speaker 2: Uh?
3:28
Speaker 8: He and riha, she's yesterday too.
3:34
Speaker 5: Does she have any mental health issues? It's generally an
3:37
anti depressor.
3:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
3:38
Speaker 9: That's that's why she said, that's what she's looking out for.
3:42
Speaker 8: The doctor.
3:42
Speaker 2: She's seeing the doctor.
3:44
Speaker 9: Okay, Well, they have an accident with her boyfriend. Car
3:47
accident said, you have a appointment.
3:51
Speaker 5: Who's your boyfriend?
3:53
Speaker 9: The one that we know is Marshall Marshall. Yeah, we
3:57
just find out yesterday. The friend said, Marshall setting Alexis.
4:02
If they can broke up, he's going to fit Alexis.
4:06
Speaker 5: Oh okay, and this is Marshall Marshall. Okay.
4:10
Speaker 1: Needless to say, the officer knows exactly who they need
4:14
to speak with next. According to Alexis's mother, Marshall Jones
4:18
is the boyfriend she went to see last but even
4:21
more troubling is her claim that he had threatened to
4:23
harm himself or Alexis if they ever broke up. As
4:27
County wraps up his initial search, he relays the information
4:31
to his sergeant. From there, requests are made for street
4:34
CCTV footage, a real time location warrant for her phone,
4:37
and most urgently, another officer is dispatched to Marshall's address.
4:43
Later that afternoon. The officer arrives at the house, knowing
4:46
Marshall is one of the last people to see Alexis alive.
4:50
The officer expects to gather more information about her whereabouts,
4:53
but he's about to get much more than that. But
4:56
before we get to that, I want to talk about
4:58
something else that's important. For almost a year, I've had
5:01
this discomfort with my ear, and every time I thought
5:04
about booking an appointment, I saw the long waiting times
5:07
and just told myself it would probably go away on
5:09
its own. But it never did. I know, We've all
5:11
been there. It's easy to do, but that's where today's sponsor,
5:15
ZocDoc comes in. ZocDoc is a completely free website that
5:18
makes booking your next doctor's appointment fast and easy. Just

5:39
and just like that, you're booked, usually within twenty four
5:42
to seventy two hours, sometimes even the same day. Look,
5:45
I spent almost a year ignoring my ear problem. Don't
5:48
make that same mistake. So if there's something you've been
5:50

6:12
to the video. How y'all doing Hey?
6:15
Speaker 10: You is Marshall home?
6:17
Speaker 11: No?
6:20
Speaker 12: Yes?
6:22
Speaker 13: Okay, how y'all doing today? Okay, y'all be safe, be careful. Okay,
6:43
that's hey, ok you know lessus.
6:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna say yeah, I'm sorry.
6:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, her mom told me that she didn't come home.
6:57
Speaker 8: So yeah, because so spoke her brother and friends in
6:59
their concern. Oh, I concerned too.
7:02
Speaker 5: When was the last time you spoke to her?
7:04
Speaker 8: Sir?
7:06
Speaker 4: You know what I can.
7:09
Speaker 8: I'm the same way, so I can. Sure you might
7:15
call love.
7:21
Speaker 3: I talked to her throughout the day yesterday, I want
7:24
to say six thirty eight is when she.
7:27
Speaker 6: Told me that she was outside. She here, Yeah, I lettering.
7:34
We hung out for a couple of hours.
7:37
Speaker 13: She left around nine, And did she say where she
7:40
was going?
7:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can show you text me.
7:44
Speaker 8: She said that the way you give me the better man.
7:46
Speaker 3: I remember her saying this is from today. It's not delivering.
7:51
I've been trying to call her. I was like, you're
7:55
still going over you must still be sleep. She's like,
7:57
I can only come back for a bit today. I
7:59
was like, okay, because she was doing some other stuff
8:03
for her job that she was going to run around
8:05
for it. You know I did what she maybe you know, brother,
8:09
I'm gonna keep a buck with you. I honestly thought
8:13
she went to go smoke with her friend Ria when
8:15
she left here, Ria, Ma Ria, Maria, Ria, Oh Maria. Yeah, okay,
8:21
I thought she wanted to go smoke with her, because
8:24
usually she won't tell me, you know, what she's doing
8:28
till she's already doing. So I thought she went there,
8:32
and but then when I kept on home.
8:34
Speaker 8: Back eleven and I wouldn't get anything.
8:37
Speaker 13: Okay, did you did you see out of sorts when
8:40
she came over yesterday?
8:41
Speaker 5: Was she her normal self whatever that may be.
8:43
Speaker 14: I mean, she came in, We hugged me, kids, me,
8:48
she watched me, uh, you know, do my little heights
8:51
on GTA, you know, look at my game whatnot?
8:53
Speaker 5: I mean, we have some more family guy.
8:56
Speaker 9: Okay, it was fine.
8:58
Speaker 5: When she left.
8:58
Speaker 8: Did you did you see did you see her leave?
9:03
Speaker 2: Yeah?
9:04
Speaker 3: And I say yeah, because I mean I opened the
9:06
garage door she left, So I mean, okay, the garage door.
9:09
Speaker 10: All right.
9:10
Speaker 1: At first glance, Marshall appears far more willing to help
9:14
than Alexis's family hinted towards, but as he recounts his
9:18
last encounter with Alexis, his demeanor is oddly detached. At times,
9:23
even attempting to make light of this situation. It's the
9:26
kind of behavior that doesn't go unnoticed. But before wrapping
9:29
up the interview, the officer would ask one of the
9:32
strangest questions possible. I had a moment like this, Do
9:37
you have a cart?
9:41
Speaker 2: How are you two?
9:41
Speaker 5: You got to day?
9:43
Speaker 7: How do y'all been together?
9:45
Speaker 5: Like three going on four years?
9:46
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, I'm gonna show you.
9:49
Speaker 5: You got a strapped down on the house. No, I know, No,
9:54
I know you have to ask.
9:55
Speaker 8: Ye I have, and I appreciate you trying to be
9:58
in light of it.
9:58
Speaker 1: But no, on that strange note, the interview reps and
10:05
the officer calls his sergeant, only to learn that while
10:08
this conversation was taking place, a major discovery had just
10:12
been made a few miles away. On a residential street
10:16
in Antioch, Alexis's family comes across their daughter's car while
10:20
organizing their own search and spreading the word on social media.
10:24
Police are immediately informed of this discovery and the car
10:28
is towed and seized for forensic analysis. Inside the car,
10:32
some troubling details quickly stand out. The keys are still
10:36
in the ignition, the door is unlocked, and personal items
10:40
are missing. After removing and Analyzing the car's infotainment unit,
10:44
investigators are able to track Alexis's precise movements before her disappearance,
10:49
and just twelve minutes before the car was abandoned, it
10:52
had been at Marshall's house, not her friend Maria's, as
10:55
he had previously implied. These findings, along with the alleged
11:00
death threat, prompt investigators to move Marshall from a person
11:03
of interest to the primary suspect in Alexis's disappearance. The
11:09
following day, two detectives arrive at Marshall's house, suspecting he
11:13
is the last person to see her alive and may
11:15
have been withholding vital information. However, they're also here for
11:19
something else, something that will catch him completely off guard.
11:24
Speaker 15: Hey, I'm in Detective Minis Real. Okay, are you Alexis's
11:28
uh boyfriend?
11:30
Speaker 5: Okay, what's your name? Marshall? Marshall?
11:32
Speaker 15: Okay, Yeah, we're still looking for Have you heard it
11:34
from her at all?
11:34
Speaker 5: Or I have not.
11:36
Speaker 3: I've been trying to call her, I've been sex seen him,
11:38
specs getting delivered. My phone calls are going straight to voicemail.
11:42
Speaker 5: Gotcha?
11:43
Speaker 16: Okay?
11:44
Speaker 15: Well yeah, basically at this point, like I think this
11:47
is the last place that we know that she was at, right,
11:50
and so we're just obviously that's where we're kind of.
11:52
Speaker 5: Kean in on this area.
11:53
Speaker 3: You know, I understand, And like I was telling her mom, like, hey,
11:56
I saw her, this is the last time.
11:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, And I just I'm worried, right, and it's.
12:07
Speaker 3: She's missing, and that just means that she's missing. It
12:11
doesn't necessarily something happened to her. So I'm really trying
12:14
not to let my mind wander. Her friends have I'm
12:19
not going to say they've been putting me under scrutiny,
12:21
but they make they're making me feel like I get something, and.
12:24
Speaker 15: I yetime boyfriend.
12:28
Speaker 5: Right, and that's what I'm saying.
12:29
Speaker 3: Everybody hands stressed different, you know, and so I just
12:33
I just want to rule everything out.
12:34
Speaker 15: Anything weird to happen here, so you know what I mean.
12:36
Then we can move on to, hey, let's go look
12:39
another area and see where she's got. You know, I understand,
12:42
you are you cool if we go inside and look
12:43
around real quick?
12:45
Speaker 3: It's not my house, is my stepdad's. So yeah, I
12:51
mean I could call him the fast and see.
12:54
Speaker 1: Clearly uncomfortable with the request Marshall agrees to call his stepfather,
12:59
the homeowner of the house, and does they wait for
13:01
his approval. Detectives would slowly begin to suspect there's something
13:06
inside the house. Neither Marshall nor his stepfather wants them
13:11
to find.
13:12
Speaker 3: Hy dad a less us went missing, and the police
13:17
just want to go through the house.
13:19
Speaker 5: Sure that everything's fine? Is that okay?
13:22
Speaker 8: Okay?
13:24
Speaker 5: He said, one of you for going, but he would
13:29
like the other one to stay out here. No problem. Sure,
13:32
ye blast that or anything I go. Yeah, either you
13:35
want we went.
13:38
Speaker 17: That.
13:39
Speaker 5: What's your dad's name, Leslie? Leslie? Okay, and that's one
13:42
you were talking to on the phone. All right, he said,
13:44
one of us will come in cool.
13:48
Speaker 15: Thanks.
13:49
Speaker 5: Do you want to leave the door off? Yeah?
13:52
Speaker 8: Off around.
13:59
Speaker 5: Anything of her that's here.
14:03
Speaker 3: I mean there might be something cause actually left over.
14:05
Speaker 5: Okay, it's going to be in my room. My rooms.
14:08
Speaker 4: That's why my room. I know, Like I said, it happens, bro,
14:23
you guys drink together. I'm assuming yeah the house.
14:29
Speaker 1: As the officer moves through the house, Marshall's room quickly
14:32
stands out, left in complete disarray, and as he inspects
14:36
the room further, little does he know this very place
14:40
holds subtle clues and will soon become a crime scene.
14:48
Speaker 5: Is there upstairs? And then this is other people's rooms?
15:00
Speaker 8: You want to go on that?
15:07
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna close this door. Nothing out of ordinary.
15:16
His room is an absolute mess.
15:19
Speaker 18: In he does.
15:21
Speaker 1: Focusing on the mess, the officer overlooks the attic place
15:25
hiding a terrifying secret, and it's no accident. Marshall has
15:30
been guiding him through certain areas, carefully steering him away
15:34
from others. But despite the searge turning up nothing, officers
15:38
aren't done with him just yet. There's something else they
15:41
want to ask.
15:42
Speaker 5: So no contact from her, none whatsoever?
15:45
Speaker 4: Okay, phone's been off, you try to call her? I'm
15:47
assuming indeed, Uh, do you mind hanging up with him
15:51
real quick so we can.
15:53
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you something.
15:54
Speaker 4: Would you be willing to give us your cell phone
15:56
for a forensic download?
15:58
Speaker 15: Oh?
15:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so I'm able to do all that stuff.
16:02
Speaker 5: Well, it just shows me.
16:04
Speaker 4: All the information on your phone for a certain period
16:06
of time, shows like, hey, it was the.
16:08
Speaker 5: Phone here the whole time.
16:09
Speaker 4: Well yeah, stuff like that, okay, And then I would
16:13
just have you sign like a consent form, okay, and
16:16
then you can bring it down, sign the consent form
16:19
down at the PD and then I take your pass
16:21
code and then I would do it that way.
16:23
Speaker 5: Okay.
16:24
Speaker 3: They want they want to do a FREENSIC download, just
16:26
to make sure that you know my phone is where
16:29
I said it was, I where I said.
16:30
Speaker 5: I was, but she was still here when he got home.
16:35
Speaker 1: Interestingly, detectives not only gain access to Marshall's phone, but
16:39
also learned that his stepfather was allegedly at the house
16:42
at the same time Alexis was there, so they make
16:45
a note to speak with the homeowner as soon as
16:47
possible to see if his account aligns with Marshalls. Shortly afterwards,
16:51
Marshall gets into his stepfather's car and follows the officers
16:54
to the station. As he drives, officers ahead noticed something strange.
16:59
He appeared anxious, swerving slightly with something large in the
17:04
back of his car, obstructing his view. In reality, Marshall
17:08
isn't just nervous. He's just realized he's driving straight to
17:12
the police station with a car full of incriminating evidence.
17:17
About ten minutes later, Marshall arrives at the station, trying
17:21
to steady himself, quietly questioning why he brought this car
17:25
in the first place, and the second he steps out,
17:28
he realizes the officers are onto him.
17:31
Speaker 5: You know what you've all happen?
17:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, blankets and whatnot? Wait do you actually have to
17:38
search it or can you just look around?
17:39
Speaker 2: Because this isn't this is my.
17:40
Speaker 4: Dad's car and little I mean, I kind of just
17:43
want to lift the gate so I can see inside.
17:45
Speaker 2: You know.
17:47
Speaker 3: Again, it's not my car, it's my dad's. And you
17:49
have my phone, so idie, you know, I'll open the
17:53
gate for you though, so you can look grit.
18:05
Speaker 5: We went to the driving so I try to give
18:10
room me some water. I mean, you can look in
18:12
the bag. That's her chili cheese steak.
18:14
Speaker 4: Okay, any of this hurts no, because we would like
18:20
to collect the DNA sample from her, right, so we
18:23
have a reference on file.
18:24
Speaker 5: So was she back here?
18:26
Speaker 13: Uh?
18:27
Speaker 19: Yeah, like I don't so is any of this like
18:32
I don't, I don't know. Would you mind if we
18:37
like took aket to test it? I would because yeah,
18:44
And does she normally sit up in the front seat?
18:52
Speaker 8: Were not?
18:52
Speaker 5: You don't want us to look under the mic?
18:54
Speaker 2: And so what.
18:57
Speaker 5: She would like to live. I don't want to think
19:00
I have a dead body.
19:01
Speaker 2: No.
19:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, OK, so this is your step out here, real dad,
19:08
My stepdad?
19:09
Speaker 5: Gotcha?
19:11
Speaker 2: Cool?
19:16
Speaker 1: Naturally, Marshall's unwillingness to show what's in the trunk immediately
19:20
raises red flags for the officers. Once it's opened, they
19:24
find multiple blankets, pillows, and food waste, with Marshall insisting
19:28
that he and Alexis use the car as a bed.
19:31
At the drive in. With suspicion mounting, they get Marshall
19:34
to sign a content form, download the data from his phone,
19:37
and then return it to him, and as they let
19:40
him go, detectives believe the contents of Marshall's phone may
19:44
finally reveal what he's been hiding, unaware that this entire
19:48
investigation is about to start going downhill. The next day,
19:54
has investigators prepared to review the data from Marshall's phone,
19:58
they noticed the download process has failed, leaving them with nothing.
20:02
Realizing Marshall's willingness to cooperate may already be reaching its limits,
20:06
detectives decide not to push any further for now, and
20:10
instead turn their attention elsewhere. There's still one person they
20:14
haven't spoken to yet, Marshall's stepfather, the homeowner, who was
20:19
allegedly inside the house the same night Alexis disappeared. If
20:23
something happened to her that night, he may have witnessed it.
20:26
With that in mind, they drive back to the house
20:29
to speak with him, where they'll begin to suspect that
20:32
not everyone wants them to discover the truth behind Alexis's disappearance.
20:37
Speaker 20: Hey, mister Clark, Hey, we're just trying to follow up
20:41
on everything going on with Alexis.
20:44
Speaker 5: We haven't talked about We haven't talked to you yet.
20:47
Speaker 20: Marshall had said that you were here when Alexis is
20:50
here on Wednesday night.
20:52
Speaker 5: Did you see Alexis here on the twenty six? Yeah,
20:55
you are come.
20:59
Speaker 8: She's not I see, I don't you don't recall seeing
21:01
her car here? Not do that?
21:03
Speaker 5: And you don't you don't remember seeing her talking to
21:06
her that night? No, I didn't see her there that
21:09
night that I.
21:11
Speaker 21: Was Marshall holding up with all this. He's she's upset
21:15
for sure. I mean, I mean just now finding out
21:18
this girlfriend's coming up missing. I mean I found out
21:21
yesterday with the note coming in a flyer. Oh yeah,
21:27
saying that she's messing them way, what the hell's going on?
21:29
Speaker 11: What was she?
21:30
Speaker 5: Like?
21:30
Speaker 2: Is just.
21:33
Speaker 20: An everyday person, like yeah, I mean, she's just a
21:37
good young lady. She never brought drama to your house
21:40
or anything like that, or a couple I mean aside
21:43
from couple of yeah, I mean they they were argued
21:47
in front of right, but like, she never.
21:49
Speaker 2: Brought any outside bs to your house or anything like that.
21:53
Speaker 20: Is Marshall round, I know one of the defectives of friend,
21:56
Uh reach him and he had to return to his
21:59
phone call.
22:00
Speaker 21: Marshall's not here, his mom and his mom don't really
22:07
I kind of say like that.
22:08
Speaker 1: With this information, police now know where to look for
22:12
Marshall next, his mother's house. What catches the officers off guard, however,
22:17
is Leslie's refusal to confirm being with Marshall and Alexis
22:20
the night she disappeared, directly contradicting what Marshall had previously told. Investigators.
22:26
Now faced with more questions than answers, officers leave to
22:30
figure out their next move. From this point forward, the
22:33
investigation into Alexis's disappearance quietly begins to shift in a
22:37
much darker direction. During the next several days, police visit
22:49
Marshall's mother, Alicia Clark, looking for her son, but suspiciously,
22:53
she claims she hasn't seen him since the night his girlfriend,
22:57
Alexis vanished. By now, investigators begin to consider a troubling
23:02
possibility Marshall may be on the run and his family
23:06
may even be covering for him. But their biggest piece
23:09
of evidence is still to come. Just as the investigation
23:12
seems to stall, CCTV footage is recovered from the root
23:15
Alicia's car took the night she vanished. For roughly twelve minutes,
23:21
the car is seen speeding from Marshall's home to the
23:24
residential area where it's eventually abandoned. A masked figure is
23:29
seen stepping out of the car, noticeably larger than Alexis
23:32
with a more masculine build. As detectives begin tracking the
23:36
figure's movements through nearby cameras, they watch it move calmly
23:39
for over a mile until it arrives somewhere completely unexpected,
23:44
Marshall's mother's house. This development makes investigators certain that the
23:49
masked figure was none other than their prime suspect Marshall,
23:53
and with that, an emergency search warrant for his home
23:56
is secured immediately on February first, to more than a
24:00
dozen officers arrive at the house, convinced there is far
24:03
more inside than Marshall originally.
24:06
Speaker 10: Let them see, Oh beauty, search for open up.
24:15
Speaker 5: A rift the door? Check the door. Yeah, let's press Corse. Yes,
24:30
we need that pry bar.
24:36
Speaker 19: Ope we.
24:39
Speaker 10: Come out with you, d up.
24:43
Speaker 5: Pick the left, Check the left. I got a door
24:45
on the right. Check that door. Let's Claire up with Benny.
24:53
Speaker 19: Come out your answer?
24:55
Speaker 1: Search what.
25:07
Speaker 5: Check that Claire.
25:14
Speaker 1: As officers moved through the house, neither Marshall nor his
25:18
stepfather are anywhere to be found. But then as they
25:21
prepared to enter the garage, it doesn't take long for
25:24
a vile discovery to emerge.
25:29
Speaker 5: It good body, yep, good ahead?
25:41
Speaker 7: Yeah right here, Yeah, yeah, right in here, I got
25:44
a break wift yep, a this yep.
25:53
Speaker 1: Multiple officers begin to notice a distinct smell, one they
25:57
believe to be the odor of a decomposing body. The
26:01
scent appears to be coming from the laundry room and
26:04
leads up towards the attic. Some officers prepare to investigate
26:09
and brace themselves for the worst.
26:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks undisturbed. I agree.
26:17
Speaker 8: Open before I don't know.
26:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, this point straight out to the garage. So that's
26:25
the thing, is, like, we gotta check crol space. Anybody
26:31
check inside that the shuv or take a peek.
26:33
Speaker 8: Inside, said, I didn't see anything that's locked.
26:34
Speaker 16: Okay, Scott, I'm gonna have this door closed for a second.
26:42
Maybe there's pathways where they walked for electrical but I
26:45
don't see.
26:46
Speaker 5: No footprints, no drag marks.
26:49
Speaker 16: I mean that's just you can see where they're walking, okay,
26:51
doing something, but I love.
26:54
Speaker 15: Hey, uh, the smeuths something right where where you're at
26:57
Logan like there's a bits coming from the bed kind
27:01
of yeah.
27:01
Speaker 7: Once we hit this area and start walking to the garage,
27:03
is where I smelled it.
27:09
Speaker 8: Beer.
27:11
Speaker 12: Yeah you see look at all.
27:25
Speaker 5: Right, let's uh.
27:30
Speaker 1: After following the scent, officers come up empty handed, but
27:34
they do uncover what appears to be dried blood. After
27:37
clearing the entire house, officers are still unable to locate
27:41
the source of the smell, so a canine unit is
27:43
called in. If human remains are hidden somewhere on the property,
27:48
this dog may be their best bet on finding them.
27:51
Speaker 5: I don't know if I got a big whiff right
27:52
in the launder room. I don't know, like.
27:59
Speaker 22: Worse that, but that is the pedd and on that
28:16
the behaviors peple you tickle, ay.
28:23
Speaker 2: Allah run.
28:27
Speaker 5: And then that's the attached garage.
28:29
Speaker 22: Oh my, going on, yes.
28:37
Speaker 8: A good girl.
28:40
Speaker 5: Do you guys say that?
28:40
Speaker 15: Or oh I don't know.
28:43
Speaker 5: We didn't bring that in. You saw up the wall here.
28:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's just checking odor.
28:49
Speaker 22: As I said, you've worked can so we didn't get
28:51
final and that was the kind of thing where it's like,
28:53
I have some weird.
28:55
Speaker 9: Odor, but it's not all of her behaviors, which was
28:58
more what we had there.
28:59
Speaker 22: And of course you and I there could be you
29:01
could have vacuumed up a tissue that had bloody knows
29:03
are okay, good girl?
29:08
Speaker 7: All right, let's all we go on.
29:11
Speaker 1: Somewhat surprisingly, the handler isn't fully convinced the dog has
29:15
detected human remains. However, several indications suggest it has picked
29:20
up on something suspicious, as it repeatedly returns to Marshall's room,
29:24
sits in one spot while staring at a handler, and
29:27
most alarmingly, begins clawing at the wall, a sign the
29:31
odor may be coming from the attic but even after
29:34
multiple additional searches and with more canine units brought in,
29:38
officers are left with troubling yet inconclusive results small traces
29:44
of blood, the presence of bleach and other cleaning supplies,
29:47
and a missing shower curtain. Following these discoveries, officers secure
29:52
the scene and begin working to obtain real time location
29:54
data for Marshall's phone, now fully suspecting they have a
29:57
homicide on their hands. Over the next several weeks, officers
30:04
are seemingly no closer to finding Marshall. Neither his mother
30:08
nor his stepfather appear willing to cooperate any further. But
30:12
every time the investigation seems like it's losing momentum, Alexis
30:15
Gabe's family keeps pushing forward, pressuring police to find their
30:19
daughter and bring her justice. That pressure soon begins to
30:23
pay off when investigators finally obtain a real time location
30:27
warrant for Marshall's phone and discover he's moved to Vaugaville, California,
30:31
roughly an hour and a half from his home. After
30:34
a quick check, they find out exactly where that location
30:37
leads his sister's house, so officers quickly head to her address,
30:41
hoping to find Marshall there.
30:46
Speaker 5: Arianna, that's nice, obviously, you know we're right.
30:51
Speaker 3: I do.
30:52
Speaker 8: It's the way he got here. He was awesome while
30:57
he was here. That's when I saw the first.
30:59
Speaker 11: Flyer for Alexis, and that's when I started putting the
31:03
pieces together what could be. I said, get your tomorrow,
31:07
you gotta be gone. I want nothing to do with this,
31:10
and his gun was underneath.
31:13
Speaker 5: I lost what was their relationship with.
31:17
Speaker 11: Marshal, so it got toxic over the last year and
31:22
a half. He was a lot more torn up about
31:25
them breaking up than about her being missing.
31:27
Speaker 8: I will say that very futably.
31:30
Speaker 11: Looking back on it, my brother does have sociopath the
31:33
narcissistic tendencies about himself.
31:35
Speaker 5: Your mom and Marshall are curs right.
31:37
Speaker 2: Yes.
31:39
Speaker 1: Do you think that she's helped him out in any
31:40
way once she get in trouble?
31:43
Speaker 5: I hope not.
31:44
Speaker 20: I mean I hope in the end of all this
31:47
she'll be as cooperative as you are, because ultimately your
31:50
brother made the choice that he made.
31:53
Speaker 5: So do you think he went to Vegas?
31:56
Speaker 18: No?
31:57
Speaker 5: I believe.
31:58
Speaker 11: I believe this is a number that he's So if
32:00
you guys want to take it, that's fine.
32:03
Speaker 1: Most worryingly for officers, Arianna seems to suspect someone else,
32:07
maybe helping Marshall evade police. However, Arianna also gives them
32:12
something significant Marshall's new phone number, so after wrapping up
32:16
the interview, investigators move quickly to track his location. This
32:20
is when they discover that Marshall's phone is pinging all
32:22
the way back to his mother, Alicia Clark's house. Up
32:25
to this point, Alicia has been telling police she doesn't
32:29
know where Marshall is. Now, detectives begin to suspect she's
32:32
lying and may even be actively hiding from police. Over
32:38
the next few hours, police secure an emergency search warrant
32:41
for Alicia's house. Officers rush to the location, knowing full
32:45
well Marshall could disappear again at any moment, But little
32:49
do they know the lead they're following is actually a setup.
32:57
Speaker 5: All the boy search.
32:58
Speaker 10: War come a door for me, Thank you.
33:20
Speaker 23: Warrant anybody else inside?
33:31
Speaker 1: After escorting Alicia and her daughter outside, officers move in
33:35
to search the house, but they find no one else inside.
33:38
They do, however, spot a working camera outside the home.
33:42
One they immediately begin trying to obtain a warrant for
33:45
Despite Marshall's absence, the forensics team insists that his phone
33:49
is still actively pinging inside the house. By now, investigators
33:54
know something isn't adding up, so they prepare to question Alicia,
33:58
starting with the very re in there here in the
34:01
first place, of course, the best place.
34:09
Speaker 18: So we're obviously here for a reason, and there's a
34:12
couple of reasons. We're here for Marshall Tunn. So we
34:17
know it's here, but we don't want to tear your
34:20
house part too much, So if you can direct us
34:23
to it, so I don't have like mess anything up,
34:25
Like where is the phone?
34:28
Speaker 17: It's upstairs in my closet and the green wine.
34:35
Speaker 2: Sure, I have a question. What do you guys need
34:38
it for?
34:39
Speaker 18: You guys phoned it, so the cell phone thing they
34:42
went and did the download that some of the files
34:46
got screwed up, so we don't have everything, so we
34:51
need that. And plus we know that he's had the
34:53
phone after that, so that's the evidence.
34:55
Speaker 1: So Strangely, Alicia appears unusually core show with the detectives
35:01
despite having her house breached. She's even admitted to holding
35:05
a wanted suspect's phone, yet treats it as if it's
35:08
nothing serious. By now, investigators are more than suspicious of
35:13
her involvement. They're convinced she not only knows where Marshall lives,
35:16
but more importantly, what he did to alexas.
35:21
Speaker 5: He's obviously not here. So you know where Marshall is.
35:24
Speaker 2: You have to go.
35:25
Speaker 17: I do not know. I do not I have intention.
35:28
I told him, do not tell me. It's just the situation.
35:32
Speaker 8: I don't want to know.
35:34
Speaker 4: So you're distancing yourself, Oh god, oh not at all.
35:40
Speaker 2: I just know this. This is this is who we are.
35:46
Speaker 5: I mean, and we don't believe that.
35:48
Speaker 8: Yeah, we just they're not.
35:51
Speaker 2: You guys are just doing it.
35:53
Speaker 5: We have to. We have to try our best to
35:55
get answers right.
35:56
Speaker 8: So I'm definitely not distancing myself. Okay, that's not the reason.
36:03
Speaker 17: What you know, I know that the two of them
36:10
had a solid relationship. I mean for Valentine's Day, he.
36:17
Speaker 8: Wanted to get her an edible arrangement. I couldn't afford.
36:20
Speaker 17: It, and so he went and got the chocolate, all
36:24
of the stuff built for an edible.
36:26
Speaker 8: Arrangement like that. I mean, that's the kind of guy
36:30
he is. I've told him since he was younger. When
36:33
you're dating, you want to make sure that you are
36:37
so good to her. She's going to be comparing every.
36:41
Speaker 1: Other day to you right away. This description of Marshall
36:47
doesn't quite align with what investigators believe about their suspect,
36:50
and especially given his sister's earlier claims that he's a
36:53
narcissist and a sociopath. If Alicia is fully aware of
36:57
her son's alleged crime, then defending his character like this
37:01
is not only disturbing, it's something most people would find
37:05
nearly impossible to do. Sensing this may be more difficult
37:10
for her than she's letting on, detectives decide to shift
37:12
their approach, appealing to her emotions, hoping that if this
37:16
is all in act, it's about to break because.
37:19
Speaker 18: I mean, obviously we're still looking. She's still out there somewhere.
37:25
Speaker 4: And things don't like yeah, yeah, it's hard to look
37:28
at that family in the face and tell them, hey, look,
37:30
we don't really have anything to tell you.
37:33
Speaker 2: Have you guys thought about maybe she was human?
37:36
Speaker 18: So I've heard that some people posting stuff on the
37:41
Internet and stuff of a lot of people are not
37:45
They don't have a good grasp on how human works, right,
37:49
You can't just snatch up a twenty four year old
37:52
on her seventy pound female. I mean, I'm just going
37:56
to be straight up, but didn't think.
37:58
Speaker 5: You have a bit Marshall had anything to do.
38:01
Speaker 18: Yeah, even if there's evidence that would suggest that he
38:07
has something to do with it.
38:08
Speaker 8: You guys would have to prove it beyond.
38:10
Speaker 7: The reason obviously.
38:13
Speaker 18: I don't want to leave you thinking that fil the
38:16
lack of a better term, just I know, Oh god, no, no,
38:21
there's a reason. I mean, I can only leave you
38:26
with that.
38:27
Speaker 5: I can't.
38:28
Speaker 8: I can't.
38:31
Speaker 7: Tell me.
38:32
Speaker 5: I don't want I don't want you to like to
38:35
just like I just said.
38:36
Speaker 18: I mean, we've we've done We've been both agencies here
38:39
and the Die's offices that we've all been working on
38:42
us for three months now.
38:43
Speaker 5: We've looked every which way.
38:46
Speaker 1: Despite the detective's best efforts, Alicia doesn't appear to budge,
38:50
and the worst part is that her dismissive attitude seems
38:53
to work. Although officers inside managed to locate Marshall's phone,
38:57
that they find it's been wiped completely clean and with
39:00
nothing concrete tying Alicia to the disappearance investigators are once
39:04
again forced to leave empty handed, with nobody, no confession,
39:09
and no idea where Marshall may have gone. How Alexis's
39:12
case slowly starts going cold. Months go by with no
39:18
new leads on Marshall's whereabouts, but then investigators finally secure
39:23
a warrant and obtain the CCTV footage from his mother's house,
39:27
and as detectives start analyzing the footage, they begin to
39:30
understand how Marshall managed to stay one step ahead of
39:33
investigators for so long. Inside these large plastic bags. Investigators
39:41
believe our Alisha's remains and suspect Marshall's mother was aware
39:46
of it. Following these developments, investigators reach out to Marshall's
39:50
sister and learn he has a friend at an apartment
39:53
complex in Kent and maybe hiding there. Using travel records,
39:57
CCTV footage, and anonymous tips, a zero in on a
40:01
specific location, the Skyview thirty three to twenty two apartments.
40:05
On June first, more than four months after Alexis Gabe disappeared,
40:09
the task Force moves in to serve a murder warrant
40:12
and finally arrest Marshall. But as they arrive and prepare
40:15
to breach. Nothing about this operation is about to go
40:19
as planned.
40:53
Speaker 24: Your God, Yeah, came to the treath of knife.
41:08
Speaker 1: After emerging with a kitchen knife, Marshall is shot multiple
41:12
times by three officers. Despite immediate medical aid, he is
41:16
pronounced dead at the scene. The following day, Paul Beard,
41:21
chief of the Oakley Police Department, holds a press conference
41:24
announcing that Alexis Gabe's case is now officially being treated
41:28
as a homicide and that Marshall Curtis Jones had been
41:31
charged with her murder before being shot and killed. But
41:35
any real sense of closure for Alexis's family would not
41:39
come until much much later. On November three, while metal
41:45
detecting near Jackson Road in Plymouth, a local resident discovers
41:48
what he believes to be human remains and immediately calls
41:52
nine one one. When officers arrive, they're left speechless. Scattered
41:56
across the mountains are the remains of a young woman.
42:00
A forensic odontologist is brought in and, using dental records,
42:03
confirms the remains are those of Alexis Gabe. In the aftermath,
42:09
her family expresses a mix of devastation and relief. They
42:14
continue pushing for charges against Marshall's mother and told memorials
42:18
in Alexis's honor. To this day, Alexis's family continues demanding
42:22
justice and launching a petition criticizing the Contra Costa County
42:26
District Attorney's Office for its handling of the case and
42:28
calling for stronger accountability for victims' families. But despite these efforts,
42:33
Marshall's mother is only temporarily detained without sufficient evidence. She
42:38
is never charged as an accomplice, and the same is
42:41
true for the rest of Marshall's relatives, something that continues
42:45
to infuriate Alexis's family to this day. As of now,
42:48
there is still no definitive motive for Alexis's murder, only
42:53
that their relationship was deeply toxic, and perhaps when Alexis
42:57
finally decided to break up with him, marsh made a final,
43:01
irreversible decision. If he couldn't have her, then no one
43:04
could
