Foul Play Suspected In Missing Georgia Woman Case

Missing since 10/24/05 - October 24, 2005
When 40-year-old Leslie Marva Adams had finally had enough of her ex-boyfriend's physical abuse, police say she went to a judge for a restraining order. Five days later, she went missing.
But while they say they've received plenty of information regarding the disappearance of Leslie Marva Adams, they still have not named any suspects.
Police say Adams' brother, Eric, and his mother, Phyllis, were the last family members to have contact with Leslie. They spoke with her on the phone Friday, October 21, 2005, reportedly reminding her about another family member's upcoming birthday. Three days later, Leslie was reported missing.
Abusive Ex-Boyfriend Not A Suspect
When police arrived at Adams' apartment on Monday, October 24, 2005, they say they immediately noticed some things that caused them serious concern, leading authorities to believe foul play was involved in her disappearance. Police say they've submitted some evidence found in her apartment to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for testing.
But police still have no suspects -- despite a restraining order Adams filed against her ex-boyfriend, Joe Cook, just five days before she was reported missing. The court document filed by Adams claimed Cook was physically and verbally abusive, and that she was fearful for her life.
According to police, a judge issued a temporary restraining order against Cook, and scheduled a court date when both Adams and Cook would appear. Then, police say, the judge would determine whether or not the restraining order should become permanent.
Though police have not completely discounted Adams' ex-boyfriend as a possible suspect, they say there is no evidence suggesting his involvement in her mysterious disappearance.
