Paul Alvin Adcock, the man accused of killing his mother in 1996, had a review hearing this month. 

Adcock appeared in front of Judge Bart Stanley in Circuit Court and had his next hearing set for Feb. 14. Adcock is charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence. He was arrested in Dec. of 2019 for the murder of his mother, Lela Mae Adcock. Mrs. Adcock was found dead in her home on Rebill Hill Street by authorities conducting a welfare check on Dec. 23, 1996. 

She was found with her throat slit. The front door of her home was found locked, but the back door was unlocked. She was found in a pool of blood in her living room. Robbery was quickly ruled out as investigators determined valuables did not appear to be removed. 

Adcock was long believed to be the prime suspect in the case. A special session of the Warren County Grand Jury was called on Dec. 4, 2019 which resulted in a two-count indictment against Adcock. 

Adcock’s jury trial was previously scheduled for Aug. 29, 2023. He will be back in court on Feb. 14.
