I was able to find a mention of Marcus in the May 20th 1999 edition of The Auburn Plainsman, thanks to the Special Collections and Archives department of Auburn University.

He bears a strong likeness to the John Doe that was found in Mobile Alabama in 2003. According to NamUs and Doenetwork, this John Doe was located in lightly wooded area off of I-65, near Prichard, north of Mobile, AL.

This article from a week prior, 1999-05-13 The Auburn Plainsman is the first to mention the robbery/homicide of David Edward Aden, albeit prior to when the suspects were announced.

I wonder if his recent entry into NamUs is because they did genetic testing on the John Doe?

Just in case this isn't the case, I sent this tip to LSU Faces and Detective Drew Machen of the Alexander Police Department.
