Human remains found in a wooded area in Grant, Alabama, during the summer of 2020 were identified as Sheri Jeanee Adkins, a 52-year-old woman from Huntsville. The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office investigated after a landowner made the discovery.

An autopsy by the Alabama Department of Forensic Science determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the back of the head, and the death was ruled a homicide. Law enforcement appealed to the community for any information that could help identify who was responsible.

No public announcement of any arrest or suspect identification has been made. If anyone knew Sheri, saw activity in the Grant woods that summer, or has information relevant to this case, please contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.
