Found Deceased TX - Michael Swearingin, 32, & Jenna Scott, 28, Temple, Bell County, 4 Jan 2019

[DebW]

I wonder if pressure came from Bell County to transport CM in the most cost-effective way possible. Stupid decision to do that. My family would have GLADLY transported him, but they didn’t ask us. J/K

I hope the powers that be have all their ducks in a row. This man should never see freedom again. Nor should his accomplice.

Pretrials reset for Marks, Maxwell double-homicide case
The pretrial hearings for both Cedric Marks and Maya Maxwell were reset again Thursday.

Because of the sheer volume of discovery evidence provided in these cases, more time was necessary to review it and determine what actions needs to take place, Bell County District Attorney Henry Garza said Thursday.
