Savana Lee Burger, 27, was last seen in Pine Grove, California on October 22, 2020 and reported missing the next day after she failed to appear at an important court date. Her remains were found on January 16, 2021 near West Point, California. Authorities treating her death as a homicide identified 44-year-old Jerry Lee Adams Jr. as a suspect and arrested him in Reno, Nevada on January 22, 2021; he was being held in Washoe County awaiting extradition to Amador County.

The investigation produced additional charges against Linda Beenam and Patricia Adams for allegedly helping Jerry Adams evade capture. Multiple agencies assisted, and search and rescue teams and cadaver dogs were used to locate Burger’s remains and gather evidence. Investigators have asked the public for tips to aid the ongoing inquiry.

If anyone knew Savana, saw her on or after October 22, 2020, or has information about the people named in this case, please contact the investigators handling the matter.
