Investigators say Martin ***** after he was found beaten and wounded in front a home near the Coal Bin Tavern. While a suspect was reportedly charged at the time, the case never went to trial.

In December 2020, the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Office and Missouri Highway Patrol began a review of the investigation into Martin’s ******.
