Marquis Martin, a 27-year-old Wilmar man, went missing a year ago today. Marquis was an employee of Drew Central Schools, as well as McDonald’s.

Marquis’ remains were located on March 9, north of Wilmar.

The investigation and search for Marquis’ killer(s) has never led to an arrest of a suspect(s).

MLive spoke to Prosecuting Attorney Thomas Deen,  who confirmed the he recently spoke to investigators on the case, including discussion of their most recent interviews.  Deen wanted to assure the county that the case is still being investigated, although he hasn’t  received the official case file.

MLive is planning 2 other interviews, today, in relation to the murder of Marquis Martin.
