Christopher Marks' Grave Vandalized

The most recent was in September.

The grave of Christopher Marks has been vandalized at least four times since his burial, according to Fox2 News. The most recent incident happened on September 23, just two days after Marks’ 14th birthday. 

The 12-year-old Marks drowned in the Meramec River in August 2012. His stepfather was accused of giving Marks alcohol before his death on that day. 

The grave vandalism was discovered by Lisa Miskimon, Marks’ grandmother. There were reports of online posts about the incidents, according to St. Louis County police, who have multiple suspects in the case.
