Cody Joshua Adams, 34, was killed on January 1, 2015, during a home invasion at his family’s residence in Woodburn, a small community near Bunker Hill in Macoupin County, Illinois. A struggle inside the house ended when a single .380-caliber shot struck him in the upper arm and chest; he died shortly afterward, with time of death recorded at 9:36 a.m. at the family home. Early reports said a masked intruder entered the house before the fight, and authorities offered rewards — first $1,000 from the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Department, later increased by Crime Stoppers to a combined $21,000 — for information leading to an arrest and conviction as the case initially produced no leads.

Prosecutors later charged two people, alleging they went to the home intending to steal and that the fatal shot was fired during the struggle. Cody Adams was remembered as a Bunker Hill High School graduate, a laborer with Local 338 in Wood River, and a devoted father who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and sports.

Has anyone seen or heard anything that could shed light on what happened that New Year’s morning?
