Adam's Gap body that of missing Oxford man

[Firedog]

Ok, I've held out long as I can. The local story is that the victim was being chased near Oxford, not even close to where he ended up and went to the woods to get away. They found his car at the trail head and his body out in the woods. He was not a hiker  or even a camper in the area. He knew the area and thought he could get away from his persuers but didn't. Rumor has it that he was beaten to death. Bad deal either way. I wouldn't be afraid to park there or hike the area any more than before. I do feel Turnipseed is a much better place to park. I'm sure there is an ongoing investigation so not much has been released to the papers.

Firedog and I both have heard the same story from locals and, in my case, second hand from a member of the victim's family. The problems the victim had in his life which did/may have led to his death were not even remotely related to hiking. Sadly, it all just happen to come to an end near the trail.

The million dollar question -- Is there any notion as to whether he was killed elsewhere and dumped at Adams Gap, or was he chased to the Adams Gap trailhead and then ran into the woods and beaten right there??

scooby doo where are you?

The local story/rumor we've heard he drove there and was out of gas but had lost his persuers for a spell, but they found him there. His car was found at the trail head and he was out in the woods from there. Never have heard what the medical examiners report said.

Sam, you've gotta stop smokin crack before you come to the forums.

Zooiks!  You're trying to steal my scooby snacks!

Oh, now I get it Sam.  You're trying to link two topics of the forum together -- juvenile behavior of the arsonists with just plain juvenile behavior.  You're so witty.

I thought WM Sam was refering to Scooby's uncanny, or is it uncanine, ability to solve a mystery like this one, even if he gets scared in the process and mayh not even realize he solved it until Velma tells him so.

6'3", 180 pounds.  Adam Chase Harris, 26.  A face to go with the name.  This is no joking matter.

There is a memorial for Adam on Facebook.

I suspect that is where this photo came from.
