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

I would think MM is the link that helped detectives find the Oklahoma farmhouse and subsequent graves. Marks doesn't seem like the type that would cooperate with LE to me. His note "Letter to the Kidnappers" is laced with narcissistic language. I would think one of the two ladies locked up in Michigan are the keys to this case busting open like it has.

If his wife has been with him since 2003 and she helped cover up this crime, my guess is she knows about April.

CM has ties to Oklahoma.
Cedric Marks' family says he has ties to rural Oklahoma
CM's father is from Clearview and CM attends the family reunion there every year.

FIndagrave is sometimes helpful for finding family connections also.

Moderators will know. Someone will reply soon I’m sure. I hope he says where she is too. Take death penalty off table. Lock up for life no parole.

That is probably the only way they will find out where April is. IMO... and definitely not a professional one... he is probably a major narcissist and would rather live a life in prison than for the world to lose him... (sarcism)...Thank goodness OK still has the death penalty, in the event he was to try to say they were killed there.

I will start one.

You are the best.... as usual!!

Whatever ...:

“I spoke to Cedric Marks before he was arrested and he told me ‘Jenna's disappearance was sad but I had nothing to do with it.’ He also said ‘Not only do I have no history of violence towards women or children, I teach free women's assault programs.“ (BBM)
Jasmin Caldwell KCEN on Twitter

He probably honed his craft on attacking women via these programs. Learned the female instinct in such matters. I am sick....

Just checked the MN Judicial Court system and there is nothing for him under that name. Surprisingly.

Medical examiner positively identifies bodies found in Oklahoma as Jenna Scott, Michael Swearingin

Hmmm.... seems suspicious that this man arrested in Grand Rapids MI, is tied to a missing woman that he dated in Cedar Springs MI? Now to make things more suspicious, we learn that he has an exgirlfriend in Texas who has been found dead with her new boyfriend, and their bodies have been found buried in a backyard at a house in Oklahoma?

Is there any information about the backyard/house where their bodies have been found?

His family has ties (for generations) to the town in OK, but the house doesn’t seem to be owned by anyone in the family.

That's odd... maybe a vacant house? Does he have any ties to the neighborhood ?

Look up the town: Clearview, OK. It’s a very small town. My understanding is his family were some of original residents. He would be familiar with the area and my guess all residents based on size. IMO it was known that this house was vacant and he used it to his advantage.

Thank you for the fill in. Being a vacant house, and him having ties to this area, suddenly makes him seemingly more suspicious.

MS mom has stated they were platonic friends. MS had a girlfriend.

Ex-boyfriend of Temple woman found dead crisscrossed the country

I was just reading that article and wondering how many women he has victimized and how many will be brave enough to come forward now.

Ex-boyfriend of Temple woman found dead crisscrossed the country

From that article (BBM):

He met Jenna Scott and after a rough two years, she asked a judge for protection saying, "Marks threatens and hurts me and told me he had gotten away with murder before,”

 

[cl350rg]

Check out this article, it's the most in-depth I've seen and it details CM's history and the beginning of him and JS's relationship in great detail. They have embedded original court documents including the initial temporary protective order that JS filed with her full statement about CM.

"I know he can kill me..."

EDIT: I originally posted the wrong link. See here the reply below.
