Blair Adams was a 31-year-old construction foreman from British Columbia. By all accounts, he was responsible, hardworking, and grounded. Until suddenly… he wasn’t.

In the summer of 1996, Blair began telling friends and family that someone was trying to kill him. He withdrew his savings. He emptied his safe deposit box. He packed cash, gold, and jewelry into a fanny pack. And then he ran — across borders, across time zones, across an entire continent — as if outrunning an invisible threat.

Days later, Blair has traveled over 2800 miles from homes, on a panicked journey, as far away, as he could get. 

Was Blair truly being followed?
Did paranoia send him into the path of real danger?
Or did someone following him, catch up to him?

In this episode, we trace Blair’s frantic journey from Vancouver, Canada to Knoxville, Tennessee. We examine the timeline, evidence, unravel the strange behavior captured on surveillance footage, and explore the theories that have kept investigators — and armchair detectives — baffled for nearly three decades.

Because one question still remains:

Who was Blair Adams running from?
