Temple burglary suspect may be connected to 2009 missing woman case

A man accused of burglarizing the home of an ex-girlfriend in Temple is also a possible person of interest in a missing woman case in Bloomington, Minnesota according to investigators.

Police there say Cedric Marks is the ex-boyfriend of April Pease, who disappeared in March 2009. Investigators tell FOX44 News that the case never closed, but interest has resurfaced in Marks because of his recent arrest. He and Pease had a child together and were involved in a custody case.

Officers in Grand Rapids, Michigan arrested Marks on a burglary charge filed in Temple last month. He's accused of breaking into the home of Jenna Scott. As we reported last week, Marks has waived extradition. He is still in the Kent County Jail at this time.

Jenna Scott and her friend Michael Swearingin disappeared near the beginning of this year. Police found their car in Austin, but their families have not heard from them since. We spoke to them this weekend, and they are asking anyone with information about their disappearance to come forward.

FOX44 News will continue to bring you more information about this investigation.

Okay, I'll shut up about this, but it's a bit weird right now. I got him a couple of fights once upon a time and I just saw him on NBC Nightly News being talked about in terms of the disappearance and death of two people. This makes at least the second guy I know who fought MMA and has potentially killed someone. Maybe I'll think of more, but I'm at two right now.

Finally covered by an MMA site. From Bloody Elbow:

MMA veteran Cedric Marks, 44, is currently in jail in Grand Rapids, MI awaiting extradition to Temple, TX. He was arrested on suspicion of burglarizing the home of Temple-resident Jenna Scott, his ex-girlfriend.

Last week Scott, who had previously sought a protective order against Marks, was found deceased in a shallow grave in Clearview, OK, alongside her friend Michael Swearingin. According to KCENTV Scott and Swearingin’s deaths have been ruled a homicide.

Last Thursday, despite Marks not being named a suspect in Scott and Swearingin’s murders, KCENTV published a report documenting Marks “long and violent criminal past.”

According to that outlet Marks received felony charges for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in Tulsa County, OK in 1992. Those charges were later dismissed. That same year Marks plead guilty to attempted robbery with a firearm. Marks served six years in prison and was released in 1998.

In 1999 Marks was arrested in Texas on two counts of unlawful carrying of a weapon, for which he was convicted. In 2008 Marks was found guilty of harassment in Washington state. Around this time Marks was embroiled in a child custody battle with a woman named April Pease.

Court documents described Marks as someone with “aggressive behavior” who was in “complete denial that he has issues around domestic violence”.

Pease was given temporary custody of her and Marks’ child. Pease went missing in 2009. Marks then received custody of their child.

Police in Bloomington, MN have stated that Marks is a person of interest in Pease’s disappearance.

In a document filed with the Bell County court in Texas, Jenna Scott described Marks as a “pathological liar” and a “psychopath.” She also claimed that Marks told her about killing pets when he was a child and that he had covered up killings in the past. Scott also said that Marks threatened to hurt her and her family.

Scott also told the court that, “on two occasions, [Marks] choked me until I lost consciousness. Each time he allowed me to regain consciousness and then he choked me out again.”

Despite this testimony, Scott was denied her protective order against Marks in September, 2018. Less than a month later is when Marks allegedly broke into Scott’s home.

Scott and Michael Swearingin were last seen on January 4th. Their bodies were found in Clearview on January 15th. Marks’ cousin, Shirley Nero, told Channel 6 news that Marks’ father grew up in Clearview and that his family hosts family reunions there.

Arrested along with Marks was Ginell McDonough and Maya Maxwell. McDonough is Marks’ wife and mother of two of his children.

Maxwell told police from Temple, TX that she took Swearingin’s vehicle to Austin, TX in an attempt to hide it from law enforcement. She has been charged with tampering with evidence. McDonough was charged with harboring Marks and Maxwell at her home.

Marks, nicknamed ‘Spider-man’, has a 20-year professional MMA career. His first fight was in 1998, since then he had amassed a record of 31-27 and 1 NC. Notable opponents on Marks’ record include Yves Edwards, Drew Fickett, Pete Spratt, Aaron Riley, Dennis Hallman, Travis Lutter, Daniel Sarafian, and Bobby Voelker. His most recent fight was on March 10th, 2018.

I know the guy. Nice enough, but sort of weird. Haven't talked to him in a long time.
This guy is a coward ass pussy and isn't all a nice guy.

I'm not going into details, because I'm not going to mess up the investigation. I just seen this post, people are curious, so here you go. The media doesn't know shit going on behind the case. They are behind and going to stay that way because they sure know how to F off an investigation.

But just know Cedric 'Spidey' is a COWARD and apparently all his fight losses led to him having ego problems because he's really good at prowling on the fucking weakest of the weakest. This manipulative nasty human being taught "women's violence classes" and beat women behind closed doors.

Just know when you see this COWARD. Clemons Unit. Estiles Unit. Ferguson. Robertson. East Texas. South Texas. West Texas. North Texas. We're deep. We love Friday night lights and we love woman abusers, we'll see how you fare on the other side.

IF the state gives you the needle, you might be the luckiest sob.

I hope you're not a C.O. who just confessed to putting on underground fights in Texas prisons. If you're an ex-con, carry on.

To answer your question. I am an ex-convict who spent years in the TEXAS system. I'm not that person anymore. I'm a father, business owner, and a positive model in society now.

No

You got a private message, and after reading my message, you'll see I'm not a co and never been. I've watched and know what goes on inside there.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KWTX) The man at the center of the case involving the disappearance and death of two people from Temple escaped police custody Sunday north of Houston.

Cedric Marks had been in transport from Michigan since January 31.

According to the Montgomery County Sheriff Facebook Page, he escaped in the 800 block of N. Loop 336 in Conroe.

He was last seen in an orange jumpsuit and restraints.

The post also said he has three pending murder charges, the first time any law enforcement entity has tied Marks to a crime other than his alleged role in a Temple burglary stemming from a break-in at Jenna Scott’s home.

Marks, 44, who calls himself “Spiderman” when in the MMA cage, has been all over the country during his adult life, records show.

In 2017, Marks' mixed martial arts career ended and he started teaching it in Killeen.

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,” records show.

Scott and her close friend Michael Swearingin were last heard from on Jan. 4. Their bodies were found 12 days later in rural Oklahoma.


Marks was arrested in Michigan just a couple days later with another girlfriend.
