and nine-year veteran of law enforcement, made a routine traffic stop in the parking lot
of Agway Feed Store in Butler Street in Saxonburg
, Pennsylvania at about 2:50 p.m. or 3:10 p.m. on December 4, 1980. Adams used his patrol car to stop the suspect by blocking the exit of the parking lot. When he asked the suspect for his driver's license, he gave fraudulent identity document
s and shot Adams. He returned fire, but the shots were not fatal.
The man believed to be Donald Eugene Webb got out of the car and fought with him. Adams was disarmed and pistol-whipped
with his own revolver, being struck several times causing deep wounds to his face and head.
Witnesses heard fired shots; four "pop" noises, presumably from a semiautomatic .25-caliber Colt pistol. and a "boom" from Adams' revolver. He was shot once in the arm and once in the chest at close range. By another account, Adams was shot twice in the chest, one bullet collapsing a lung
and another ripping the bottom of his heart
. Adams was not wearing his bulletproof vest
at the time as he had lent it to another officer. The killer took Adams' gun, ran to his patrol car, ripped out its microphone, took the keys and drove it away.
A nearby resident found mortally wounded Adams, who told her that he did not know his attacker and that he thought he was not going to live. Adams was so badly beaten he was almost unrecognizable. Adams lost his consciousness
on the way to the hospital and died of his injuries. Adams was survived by his wife Mary Ann Jones (formerly Adams), and their two sons, Benjamin and Gregory, Jr. Adams is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Herman, Pennsylvania.
of Webb) and a New Jersey driver's license
bearing an alias used by Webb, Stanley John Portas, a name of Webb's wife's deceased husband, were among the evidence found at the murder scene. Webb has been believed to been in Saxonburg for a planned burglary of a jewelry store. Adams' revolver was later found approximately seven miles away along Cornplanter Road in Winfield, Pennsylvania
. All six bullets of the weapon had been fired.
A white Mercury Cougar
which Webb rented, was allegedly used as a getaway car. It was subsequently found abandoned at Howard Johnson's
motel in Warwick, Rhode Island
on December 21. Significant amounts of O-type blood were found under a steering wheel
, indicating that Webb was shot in the leg, possibly by Adams.
As Webb was named as a main suspect of the case, a nationwide manhunt began. He was charged with murder, attempted burglary and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Federal arrest warrant was issued for him on December 31. On May 4, 1981, Webb was named as the 375th fugitive to be placed
on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list
.
Webb has strong ties to Fall River
and New Bedford
, where the last confirmed sighting of him was made by an anonymous tipster in July 1981. He was reported to the Boston FBI office, but had fled by the time investigators arrived. Since then, there have been unconfirmed sightings of Webb or men resembling him in Massachusetts, Washington, Canada and Costa Rica.
In January 1990, FBI director William S. Sessions
received a letter postmarked on January 23. It was written by someone claiming to be Webb, asking for forgiveness from Adams' family. The letter contained indications of a possible surrender to authorities, but only if he could talk directly and alone to John Walsh
, host of TV show America's Most Wanted
. Walsh stated in America's Most Wanted that FBI's evidence technicians examined the letter and believed it was authentic. Handwriting tests were conducted, and the results were inconclusive. On April 1, 1990, a man claiming to be Webb did make a direct phone call to John Walsh, but was unable to name two of Webb's closest relatives. The call was dismissed as an April Fools' joke
. The murder case was also featured in an episode of Unsolved Mysteries
.
After over eighteen years on the list, Webb became the fugitive with the longest tenure on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list on September 14, 1999, surpassing previous record held by Charles Lee Herron.
In April 2005, an unidentified man in Detroit was using Webb's name, age and social security number
. Detroit police trailed the address to a burned-out house in a poor section of town. Authorities consider this a case of identity theft, although a very unusual one.
Having been on the Ten Most Wanted list for 25 years, 10 months, and 27 days, Webb was removed from the list on March 31, 2007, replaced by Shauntay Henderson
. He was on the list longer than any other fugitive before Victor Manuel Gerena
, who surpassed his record in 2010. Although Webb is still a fugitive who is considered armed and dangerous by the FBI, significant lack of leads has made some investigators believe Webb is deceased, possibly even killed due to his alleged connections to organized crime.
