On November 7, 2017, three members of the same foster family were found dead in their home in the Lookingglass area outside Roseburg, Oregon. Victims were Donya Adams, 55, the foster mother; Amory Adams, 26, the foster daughter; and Payshience Tia Adams, 10, a foster child who was the biological sister of the suspect. Robert Adams, the foster father, called emergency dispatchers and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office discovered the three deceased in the house.

The suspect was identified as Kevin Wayne Adams, then 16, a biological son of Robert Adams and the foster brother of Amory and Payshience Tia. He was arrested at the scene and charged with four counts of aggravated murder; the fourth count reflected the young age of one victim. Court records show concern over proceeding with a juvenile defendant in such a severe case, and later entries report a change of plea, a conviction, and a 60-year sentence. The state reached a civil settlement that included payments to the estates of Donya Adams and Amory Adams and to Robert Adams.

Does anyone have information about Amory’s life or connections in the Lookingglass and Roseburg area that could help preserve her memory?
