Description
Alex Johnson had it all. He was brilliant, an avid outdoorsman, a talented chef, artist and botanist with friends all over the world. In 2013, days shy of his 33rd birthday, Johnson vanished after wrapping up a phone call with his girlfriend.
For more than a month, the Johnson family did everything to try and find him. They held vigils, organized searches, brought in specialized K-9's and put up billboards.
But Alex was dead. Beaten in the back of a Mercedes Benz, his body put in a barrel and rolled into a frigid Kentucky river. And one of his best friends named the prime suspect.

Really enjoying but sheesh the "cougher" in court does it right when you miss a bit 😂😳
Maybe cut that clanging music in background. 😳Tad annoying 🙄
He wasn't running to mexico. Mark went to the border to pickup drugs. Nobody takes weed to Mexico. This is just sensationalist journalism.
Yes, Mark is guilty of parts of the crime but not the killing. Alex was a good friend to him. Ballard is the real monster. He took a deal and now Mark is being blamed for the most heinous aspects of the crime. Mark shouldn't have done what he did but Ballard took control that night, Mark was doing what he was told to do. I knew Mark, he is not a killer. I met Alex as well, he wasn't the person people make him out to be. When I met him, he was high on a plethora of drugs and enjoying himself. His family just wants someone to blame, they don't seem to care who.
