31-year old Blair Adams had some struggles in his life, but  in 1996, he was, generally speaking in a good place. He had been sober for two years and was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings regularly. By all accounts, he was on the right track. 

But things would not be alright for Blair in the weeks leading up to his mysterious death in a city he had no ties to. He started acting strangely, making mistakes at work, and seemed incredibly uneasy and paranoid. He confided in a few people that he was afraid for his life. 

The days leading up to Blair's ultimate demise would be so perplexing as a paper trail revealed a bizarre and nonsensical sequence of events, including a journey between two countries. Each clue in this story is more baffling than the last, and 26 years later, no one knows who was out to get Blair Adams, or why he ended up dead in a strange location thousands of miles from his home. 

Join returning guest Elaine Erickson and I as we try to make sense of this confounding case.
