The Murder Of Blair Adams
Episode 11
A 31-year-old construction worker told friends and family that someone was trying to kill him. They thought he was imagining things. Until he turned up dead, 3,000 miles away, naked and surrounded by gold and cash in a Knoxville parking lot.
A true tale from the Gothic South that asks more questions than it answers: what would drive a man to flee his life only for it to end two days later?
In this episode:
- The bizarre, cold case murder of Robert Dennis Blair Adams (December 28, 1964 – July 11, 1996) in Knoxville, Tennessee
