Adams was last seen on March 11, 2007. She left her home in Independence Township, Pennsylvania and went to the Mountaineer Gaming Resort in Chester, West Virginia. She used her credit card at the casino. Adams apparently left there at 4:00 a.m. She last accessed her cellular phone voice mail at 4:35 a.m. She never arrived home and has never been heard from again. Her red or maroon two-door 2005 Suzuki Forenza sedan with Pennsylvania license plates numbered EDT5587 remains missing. Her cellular phone and credit cards have stayed dormant since her disappearance.

Adams didn't usually leave without warning and abandon her cherished dog. Her brother, who lived with her, stated she had a gambling problem and that he begged her to stop spending money at the casino. Adams worked two jobs, as a teacher's aide at the Allegheny Valley School, and as a cashier at a retail store. She enjoys playing bingo. Her case remains unsolved. Pennsylvania police are investigating.
