They accused him of tampering and destroying evidence in connection with the disappearance and death of Cassie Carli, the mother of his child.
Her body was found in a shallow grave in an Alabama barn back in April. Though this doesn’t mean he is off the hook. Court documents show prosecutors believe they have a stronger case in Alabama.
“We know better than to walk by sight, but rather by faith. and we know the truth will prevail,” said Raeann Carli, Cassie’s sister. Back in April, Cassie’s body was found buried in a shallow grave in a shed in Springville, northeast of Birmingham. Her ex-boyfriend Marcus Spanevelo was charged in Santa Rosa County with destroying evidence and obstructing a criminal investigation but not murder.
Monday, the St. Clair County Alabama coroner’s office released her cause of death as “undetermined.” Now, prosecutors are dropping Spanevelo’s charges in Florida.“In an effort to prosecute the strongest case, and after communicating with law enforcement agencies in both states, the office of the state attorney believes that in the interest of justice, the actions of Marcus Spanevelo are most appropriately prosecuted in Alabama...Spanevelo will be transported by law enforcement to Alabama.
