Vincent Frank Adamczak, a 41-year-old member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, was last seen in Wellston, Michigan, on August 13, 1995. He was about 6 feet tall, 185 pounds, with brown hair worn below the ears, blue eyes, a mustache, and a tattoo of the word ’Hell’ on his left forearm. His burgundy 1985 Plymouth Reliant was found days later in a nearby bar parking lot and impounded, but Vincent himself did not surface and was not formally reported missing until January 2002.

Investigators later developed evidence that Vincent was shot and killed during a confrontation at the rural Manistee County home of Peter Lee Peterson. Prosecutors said Peterson retrieved a rifle, shot Vincent outside the house, and that Robert Scott Knauss then helped bury the body; the men later allegedly moved remains and burned them in a large fire pit behind the property.

Rosemary Skrzycki pleaded no contest in 2012 to a charge of being an accessory after the fact after admitting she had witnessed the killing and agreed to cooperate. Peter Peterson and Robert Knauss were later tried and convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. The location of Vincent’s full remains remains unknown; does anyone who knew Vincent or his movements around Wellston in 1995 have information to share?
