Mary Lindsay, 39, and her 15-year-old son Atif Muhammad Jr were found shot to death inside their Flowery Branch, Georgia home. The bodies were discovered on March 26, 2021, after a friend, worried by lack of contact, alerted Mary’s eldest daughter. The 19-year-old daughter crawled through a window to enter the locked house and found an 8-year-old brother asleep and unharmed. A locked bedroom door hid Mary and Atif, who investigators believe were killed on March 24, leaving the young child alone in the home for two days.

Police quickly focused on Mary’s live-in boyfriend, William Jerome Adams, then 29. Ten days before the killings, Mary’s children had found a 9mm handgun in the house that Mary said belonged to Adams. Prosecutors later said Mary had emailed herself a photo of an arm injury she attributed to him. After the deaths, Adams locked the bedroom and fled; he was arrested at the Mexico border trying to cross under an assumed name and without a passport, and investigators said $2,000 was taken from Mary’s bank account.

Does anyone have information about Mary, her children, or the days leading up to March 24, 2021 that could help clarify what happened?
