In truth, they assume she was murdered by her boyfriend, Marshall Curtis Jones (above, inset). Sadly when cops lastly caught up with Jones this month, it didn’t go nicely.

Six months after she first went lacking, Alexis’ dad and mom acquired an enormous lead! As we reported, the Gabes acquired copies of handwritten notes by Jones after his demise — notes which authorities consider are the important thing to discovering Alexis’ physique. Included within the papers, discovered within the rubbish at a home owned by Jones’ sister, are detailed driving instructions which result in a rural street in Pioneer, California — about 60 miles east of Sacramento.
Police consider they confirmed Jones adopted the instructions. Antioch police informed the Gabe household they have been capable of observe his cellphone to a location en route:
“Marshall turned off his cellphone for a number of hours in the course of the interval he drove to Pioneer… We consider he drove this route as a result of about half of the way in which there he acquired misplaced and needed to flip his cellphone on to get again on the appropriate route.”
Cops instantly adopted the instructions and commenced their search in earnest for the 27-year-old’s stays. They’ve searched 200 acres within the space, together with draining an 8 million-gallon pond. Alexis’ father Gwyn Gabe informed ABC7:
“Sadly, they discovered nothing.”
He added:
“They’re solely specializing in Pioneer. They strongly consider she is there.”
He and his spouse are nonetheless hopeful their daughter is alive. Gwyn mentioned:
“Till we discover a physique, we’re simply going to maintain believing that she’s nonetheless alive.”
So unhappy. If police are proper, and he or she is useless, on daily basis of false hope is one other delay for the dad and mom to heal. The earlier she’s discovered, both manner, the higher. It’s going to give them the closure they want.
Sadly cops might have blown the one probability that they had of ever discovering her. In the event that they’re proper, solely Jones knew precisely the place she was. The factor that’s going unsaid in numerous stories we’re seeing about this new data, data that appears to show Jones knew the place she was, is how a lot of a failure that is on the a part of police. They might have already got discovered Alexis, alive or useless, if solely they might handle to arrest a Black suspect with out killing him. Nobody goes to defend the actions of the person if he murdered his girlfriend, however simply because he was a suspected killer didn’t imply he didn’t have rights. And loads of suspects are detained with out being killed on daily basis.
To be trustworthy we’re largely occupied with Alexis’ household proper now. In an announcement, Gwyn Gabe known as Marshall’s demise “tragic and surprising,” revealing:
“My spouse cried so arduous upon listening to of his passing.”
It was all too clear how upset the household was with how this went down. The grieving father defined, holding again tears himself:
“We wished to fulfill with him head to head. We wished to look him within the eye and ask him why, ask him, ‘The place is Alexis?’”
They only hoped to get to face him — and discover out as soon as and for certain the place their daughter is. You’ll be able to be taught extra in regards to the tried arrest (beneath):
