St. Clair County Coroner Dennis Russell on Monday, October 10, 2022, said the final report of the autopsy for Cassie Carli, conducted by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, ruled Carli’s cause of death undetermined, and the manner of death also undetermined.

Carli disappeared after meeting Marcus Spanevelo in a restaurant parking lot in Navarre, Florida to pick up their daughter following a visit with her father,

Authorities had two addresses in Springville for Spanevelo, one of which was vacant. In the months leading up to Carli’s disappearance, Spanevelo had been living and working in Springville.

Still, prosecutors have not charged Spanevelo with homicide. Cassie Carli’s Family believes Spanevelo is responsible for Cassie Carli’s death.
