Leann Marie Potts, 46, of Chillicothe, Ohio, died unexpectedly at her residence on February 4, 2019. A paralegal and former employee of the Anna Villarreal Law Office, she was born June 20, 1972, in Washington Court House and was a member of the Loyal Order of the Moose. She is survived by three daughters, Leah Potts, Laurren Potts, and Larra Potts, a step-daughter, Alexis Potts, and two grandchildren.
Leann’s death occurred during a larger incident that day in which her partner, 63-year-old Thomas Littler, and her brother, 50-year-old Rick Adams, were also killed. James Rinehart of nearby Londonderry was arrested the next day after attempting to use Leann’s credit card at a Burger King; he was tied to the killings by DNA and surveillance evidence and later received a prison term of 35 years to life. Leann’s daughters gave impact statements at sentencing describing their grief.
If anyone knew Leann, her family, or has information about the events of February 4, 2019, please come forward.
