The Unsolved Halloween Murder of James Adamski

The Unsolved Halloween Murder of James Adamski

On Halloween night 1982, 18-year-old James Adamski left a raucous costume party at a Depew, New York, bar, never to return home. Bludgeoned to death and discarded in a shallow grave, his murder remains one of Erie County’s most haunting unsolved cases.
