Tristan Dilley was a 14-year-old freshman at Silsbee High School who was found dead in her bedroom on October 1, 2017, two days before her 15th birthday. She had been shot twice in the head with a .22-caliber magnum revolver; her younger brother discovered her body fully clothed on her bed and the body position indicated she was not facing the shooter when the shots were fired.
Investigators found Tristan had been secretly dating a man identified as 19-year-old nursing student Paul Audrey Adams. Family and friends believed the boyfriend was 16; police learned he was 19 and located his residence in Vidor, Texas. Authorities examined Tristan’s phone and Facebook records, which showed the pair arranged meet-ups and timed visits around Tristan’s mother being away. Police have said the shooter was likely someone Tristan knew and trusted. Adams was arrested and charged with her murder.
Does anyone have information about Tristan, her movements in late September 2017, or contacts who might help clarify the timeline leading up to that October 1 death?
