A Long Way from Home
The Murder of Blair Adams
Leaving your home to travel to another country should be full of excitement, a time to look forward to, and be pleasurable. However, the final destination definitely should not land you on a slab in the county morgue.
Blair Adams
Blair Adams was a 31-year-old construction foreman in Surrey, British Columbia. Being a foreman was a job he loved, but something had recently changed in his life.
Blair had been a responsible employee, but had recently started leaving his job site unlocked and vulnerable. Then, without warning, he quit his job and never returned for his paycheck.
Blair had, had a drinking problem in the past, but was proud of his two years of sobriety. So it was a surprise to his friends and family when he stopped attending his Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings without an explanation. Although, there were no indications he had started drinking alcohol again.
At one point he shared with his mother, Sandra Edwards, that people were spreading rumors about him, but did not elaborate. Blair also told friends that he was afraid someone was going to kill him, but his friends didn’t know why anyone would want to take his life.
