Marks held a 31-27(1 NC) record in mixed martial arts (MMA). He is currently being held on multiple charges including murder.
Early last month, Marks’ ex-girlfriend Jenna Scott and her acquaintance Michael Swearingin concerningly disappeared. Their bodies were later found on January 15 in Oklahoma.

The mother of Marks’ child, his ex April Pease, also disappeared in 2009. Her body has never been found.
