Ward Adcock, 44, was found shot in his bed at his home on Berkshire Boulevard in Powell on October 19, 1987. His death remains unsolved and is listed among 24 unresolved homicides in Knox County.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit has re-examined case files, re-interviewed witnesses and suspects, and reprocessed evidence with modern technology, but no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The lack of resolution has left Ward Adcock’s family and the community seeking answers.

Anyone who knew Ward, was in the Powell area on or around October 19, 1987, or has information that could help is asked to contact the authorities.
