Salinas attended a party in Tempe with her boyfriend on the night of June14 and had been drinking. The couple got into an argument at the party, during which she complained that he had not paid enough attention to her. The boyfriend drove her to his home in Scottsdale, but they continued to argue, so he drove her home.
The last time anyone reported seeing Adrienne was early in the morning of June 15. Her roommates told police that she packed an overnight bag and said she was driving back to her boyfriend’s home. A witness reported seeing Adrienne’s car hit a median near her apartment.
Later that morning, Adrienne repeatedly called the boyfriend but was unable to reach him. She eventually sent him a text message at 4:43 a.m., saying, “I’m coming over.”
But the boyfriend told police that Adrienne never arrived. Adrienne’s roommates described them as having an on-again, off-again relationship and said the argument appeared more intense than past quarrels. Tempe police have said the boyfriend is not considered a suspect and has been cooperative.
