December 4 marks the anniversary of the murder of Saxonburg Police Chief Greg Adams at the hands of a crook who escaped justice by hiding in the shadows for decades.
Adams left behind a wife, two young boys and a heartbroken community that refused to forget either his death or the man wanted for his murder.
It was a cold December afternoon in 1980 when the chief stopped a car not far from the police station. What Adams didn't know was the driver, a man named Donald Webb, was a wanted man.
A struggle ensued. Shots were fired. Adams was left mortally wounded behind a home next to the store. His killer sped off.
The suspect was quickly identified and was placed on the FBI Most Wanted list but it would take decades before he would be found.
For those who knew Greg Adams, his memory lives in a community that never forgot and always prayed for justice.
