Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Offense:

Over the years, little has been released about Campbell’s death. A cause of death was determined by autopsy, but was not released to the public due to the ongoing investigation. Police have also not released who owned the vehicle Campbell’s body was discovered in, but have said it did not belong to Campbell.

Additional Details:

In past interviews, former Dt./Lt. Darrin Hunter, who is no longer with Escanaba Public Safety but was the lead officer on the case for many years, suggested Campbell’s death may have been a case of mistaken identity. He indicated another individual, also named “Adam,” may have been the intended victim.
