On the night of May 28, 2022, a violent disturbance at a home on 2652 South Glenview Avenue in Springfield, Missouri, left 42-year-old Ada Hodgkins with a critical gunshot wound. She was able to speak with authorities at the scene and identified her attacker before being taken to a local hospital, where she died shortly after arrival.

Springfield Police Homicide detectives used the victim’s statement and body camera footage to identify her husband, 32-year-old Jacob Adam Hodgkins, as the primary suspect. The assailant fled before officers arrived; prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder and a warrant was issued on May 29, 2022. Considered armed and dangerous, he was sought across state lines.

The search ended on June 6, 2022, when Jacob Hodgkins surrendered at the Cedar City, Utah, police station; he was booked there pending extradition to Missouri. Did anyone in Springfield or Cedar City know Ada or Jacob and see anything that could help investigators?
