I am going to go ahead & post this.... that way I can shorten it up a bit.

Sometime in July:
*Status Hearing (re Competency for Sorensen) – (@ am CT) - MN – April Lee Pease (30) (Mar. 17, 2009, Bloomington, not found) – *Kellee Kristine Sorensen (34/now 38) – charged (3/16/20) with 2nd degree murder. $3K conditional bond.

Sometime after the transfer, police investigators say Marks & Sorenson traveled from Washington to Minnesota to find Pease in March 2009. Pease was allegedly taken against her will and driven southbound on I-35, before being killed at an unknown location by Marks as Sorenson sat in the vehicle, according to statements obtained by detectives. Pease's body has never been found.

Marks has been charged with second degree murder in that case. The state showed videos where they said Marks confessed to killing Pease. Previously, Marks’ ex-wife, Ginell McDonough, verified the videos that were made out to her & Marks’ children. The court learned the Marks & Pease had a nasty custody battle over their son, he said Pease was unfit to raise the child. In the video to his children, he said he’s about to do something that will either put him in prison for the rest of his life or get him killed. But he doesn’t mind if it means protecting his son from Pease. He said in the video to his children, “Even if I was to get away with this, I’ll show you this (video.) I’m a bad person, but I’m not a bad person to let a child to get hurt. I hope to be reunited with you, but if I fail at this, I succeeded anyway because I freed you.” 6/9/23 Update: Marks was found guilty of all charges & sentenced to death for the murders of Michael & Jenna.
