Esther Cook, 43, was murdered on October 11, 1999, in Warren, Ohio. She and her 12-year-old daughter, Ashley Cook, were both killed in a violent attack inside their home. Esther was beaten and stabbed; Ashley was beaten, raped, and strangled.

Investigators learned Adams had attended a drug party earlier that evening and left to get more money. He returned with blood-stained clothes and a roll of money; he claimed the money came from a paper cut. Witnesses reported seeing a car like the one Adams was driving near the crime scene, and police later stopped him while he was driving a borrowed car but did not detain him at that time.

Adams was arrested, tried, and convicted of the aggravated murders of Esther and Ashley Cook. The jury sentenced him to death in October 2001. The case left a profound impact on the family and community.
