Mark Wayne Adamson
Adamson went missing from Barstow, California on July 8, 1995. He was last seen around 1:30 PM getting into an American model maroon colored sedan with Joseph Gerald Riley and possibly a third party. Adamson's roommate told police that Adamson and Riley left town with a large sum of money to buy a vehicle. Both men have never been heard from again.
Authorities believe their disappearances were drug-related and that they met with foul play. In December 2012, Christian Leonard Bunty Sr. and James Linzy Franklin were charged with Adamson and Riley's murders. The charges against Bunty were dropped for lack of evidence in the spring of 2014. Franklin was convicted of both charges of murder in September 2015.
Adamson and Riley's whereabouts remain unknown, although both are presumed deceased and are possibly buried in the Mojave Desert.
