Somebody must have had some kind of tracking device to be able to find him like that.

This is the one of the guy found beaten to death outside his hotel.. However.. he had gone to the loopy side prior to that.

Lost his rental car key.. In his pocket. Went to a gas station with a Nissan key to start a Toyota.. And when he was killed, they key was found on him (or around him)

95% of this.. I think the guy was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.. It may be something else, but it was certainly a mental illness. He likely went to the truck stop.. The part that doesn't make sense to me.. It all adds up that he tried to pick up someone at the truck stop likely had sex with them.. and then got beaten. but.. The obvious reason for the beating would be robbery, and we can tell he wasn't robbed.

Well, we obviously hope not!

Good to see you again, Macbeth. It's been a long while...

You're referring to Gail Delano, who committed suicide in a hotel room after staging her disappearance. It's very different from the case of Blair Adams, who absolutely did not kill himself, unless I've been mistaken all these years.

Robin W did a fantastic podcast on Blair Adams. You've been gone awhile, but his podcast is called The Trail Went Cold. You can get it on iTunes, GooglePlay and Stitcher, I believe. He did a great job covering all the complexities of Blair's case.

You should check it out!

The Blair Adams incident was very bizarre. In all the true crime stuff I've read, I've never seen a case quite like Blair's. So I think it's unlikely to happen again.

As far as Gail Delano-- if you are feeling suicidal, please contact someone. The National Suicide Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. It's open 24 hours a day. Or you can visit their website (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat/) to chat with someone.

I don't want to sound rude or condescending. We all need help in many ways in life. I'm no exception.

Your messages here are worrying. Please listen to LooksLikeCRicci. 988 is available as a crisis line, too.

This is one of the more fascinanting cases because you can't really come to a coherent conclusion, He was showing signs of not being mmmm well let's say mentally sound, he was acting strange, but did all this come about because of his paranoia and fear?

It seems he did have a reason to be paranoid, because his behaviour shows that he was running away from something or someone, yet later gets murdered in the most strangest way possible.


Like you say, it wasnt a robbery, because he was found with 1000s of dollars on him and 1000s of dollars worth of jewellery, why wasn't this taken? A paranoid man who is obviously on the run from something or someone, just happens to end up in a small town and meets someone who decided to kill him for killing sake, not a robbery, just to kill him...

That would be some coincidence. maybe it is, but i'm not convinced.

Ah.. The old "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone's not out to get me" theory.

And.. Yeah. Possible. Self-fulfilling prophecy, for lack of a better term..

I tend to look at things with the thought of.. Don't complicate a complicated situation even more. So.. What's the simplest answer? He hit on the wrong guy at the truck stop. For me, that's the starting point. I don't discount other ideas but.. I like to start from the simplest perspective.

I think I mentioned he probably had sex with someone from the truck stop, but.. That's not for certain, because.. Well.. One would think there'd be DNA and one would think swabs would have been taken. oh yeah, there was a hair recovered and DNA testing was done on that with no hits. I think he picked up someone at the truck stop, probably for sex.. Did it happen? Maybe.

This would probably be a pretty good case for familial DNA research. Which is also likely the only way it's solved. Assuming the hair is tied to the killer. If the hair is the killers and they still aren't in CODIS, it's unlikely that they ever will be.

I just don't know how likely it is to get attention to do that. Canadian citizen killed in the US.. This would probably be pretty low on the priority list to do that.

That's entirely possible. Straight guy beat him to death. Maybe a couple of them. Why the evidence of sexual assault though? Maybe it had happened earlier by some other individual.

As far as his erratic behavior, I do think he was suffering from schizophrenia or a similar disorder. I don't think anyone was out to get him. Someone in their right mind, who is being hunted so to speak, will do everything they can to disappear and stay hidden. Not wander around, going from place to place, checking into a motel yet never actually going into the room to hide from their would be assassins.

IIRC, he had injuries to his anal area, and the police were investigating the case as a sex related crime. I believe they show the autopsy report on the segment where you can see it.

If i'm not mistaken, and I very well could be.. The 'injuries' to the anal area were.. Questionable.

I don't know exactly how questionable. Are we talking West Memphis Three questionable? My understanding on that is that there was zero evidence of it on any of the boys in that case, but.. To fit in with Miskelley's statement, they claimed that the fact that there was dilation was evidence of sex.

Pretty much any muscle is going to relax when you're dead. so, dilation was not evidence in that case.

It's also possible that they saw pre-existing things on Blair.. possibly where he had sex with someone even days earlier.

This would be an interesting autopsy report to read. Not someone TALKING about it, but the actual report.
