A crazy story about a woman named Marie Clover who went to insane lengths to exact revenge on a pastor known as Mark Gleason has exploded like wildfire on the internet.
The story, told by the infamous Dax News platform on TikTok, details a Hollywood-style story that purportedly happened in real life but with no indication it actually happened.
Still, many people are searching for information on the Marie Clover story and we would be remiss if we did not do our job and explain what it is to them – that’s the entire point of Explained!
The Marie Clover and Pastor Mark Gleason Story Explained – Murder in Detroit During Baptism
The story of Marie Clover and Pastor Mark Gleason originates from TikTok and an account known as Dax News which is infamous for publishing stories that are pretty much made up but which often go viral due to their interesting content.
Dax News stories often read more like movie scripts than real life because they are specifically designed to draw reactions from all who read it.
This one is no different as it tells a grisly revenge story involving s*x, cheating, deception, plotting, and murder; all the good ingredients one can expect from a blockbuster.
As the narration goes, Marie Clover is a 31-year-old woman and a member of the New Gospel Church of Christ (probably not a real church) somewhere in Detroit.
Clover and Mark Gleason, a supposed prominent church leader, were allegedly engaged in an affair for an indeterminate period of time.
The story alleges that after some time, Gleason ended the affair in order to protect his ‘marriage, family, and career’.
Feeling spurned, Clover then set into motion a long-con, dastardly revenge plan that would end with the murder of Pastor Gleason.
Clover’s supposed actions truly put the scorned in ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!’.
According to Dax, and this is where the story gets more fantastical, Clover purchased a hyperrealistic silicone mask to change her appearance to be able to continue attending the church without the Pastor’s knowledge.
Her mask was reportedly so good and realistic that not only could no one tell that wasn’t her real face, she could interact with a man who slept with her for months without him realizing she was the one.
Clover’s revenge plan involved her joining the church choir. After six months ‘undercover’, she asked to be baptized and the whole event was set up.
However, Clover’s plan was now ready to be set into motion as just before Pastor Gleason submerged her into the water for the ceremony, she pulled out a razor hidden in her hand and slit the man of God’s throat!
Incredible story right? Almost like a movie!
Anyway, Dax News claims Clover, who in another cinematic twist is apparently pregnant with the pastor’s child, was arrested after the attack and charged with murder. Despite all efforts to save him, Pastor Mark Gleason also reportedly lost his life.
So there you have it, the entire Marie Clover and Pastor Mark Gleason story helpfully explained to you.
Again, there is no indication this is a true story. Dax News stories at this point are more fiction than anything else but you gotta hand it to them that they’re pretty damn good at crafting these things.
