Rick Adams, 50, of Chillicothe, Ohio, was found fatally shot at his mobile home on Vigo Road in rural Ross County and died February 4, 2019 at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. His girlfriend, Tammy Potts-Williams, 51, was with him and survived injuries that left her in critical condition for weeks.
Investigators tied Rick’s killing to two other shootings about five miles away: his sister, Leann Marie Potts, 46, and her fiancé, Thomas Steven Littler, 63, were found shot dead at their home on Bowman Lane. Authorities arrested James Rinehart of Londonderry within 24 hours after he tried to use Leann Potts’s credit card at a Burger King; Rinehart was linked to the crimes by DNA, surveillance footage, and possession of the victims’ belongings.
The motive has not been disclosed. If anyone knew Rick, Leann, Thomas, Tammy, or saw anything in the Chillicothe area around February 4, 2019, please share what you know.
