TEMPLE, Texas — Cedric Marks, the man accused of killing a Temple duo whose bodies were found in Oklahoma, and his friend Maya Maxwell, who confessed to hiding a victim's car, were indicted on capital murder Wednesday, according to Bell County District Attorney Henry Garza.
Jenna Scott, who was Marks' ex-girlfriend, and Michael Swearingin went missing on Jan. 4, 2019, according to their families and police. Police said their bodies were found in a rural Oklahoma town on Jan. 15.
The medical examiner's summary report sent to Channel 6 on Wednesday showed Swearingin's cause of death was strangulation. His full autopsy report was not available according to the medical examiner's office in Oklahoma City.
