Marquis Martin
from Voices for Justice · host Sarah Turney
In February 2020, 26-year-old Marquis Martin disappeared after working a night shift at his second job. For nearly a month, his family, friends, and community searched for him, pleading for answers and for help from law enforcement. When Marquis was finally found, it was the worst possible outcome: he had been murdered. But as his loved ones pushed for justice, they were forced to confront another painful question. A racist image connected to the sheriff’s own son began circulating, raising serious concerns about whether Marquis’ case was handled with the urgency, care, and impartiality it deserved. Six years later, no arrests have been made. No persons of interest have been publicly identified. And Marquis’ family is still waiting for answers. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Drew County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 367-6211.
