Michael Jefferson Adams was born March 28, 1969 in Abilene, Texas. He is 6'0 tall, 150 lbs with blonde hair and blue eyes. Michael also wears contact lenses. On the evening of his disappearance he was wearing a white dress shirt, black pants, black socks and black shoes.
Mike, as he was known to his friends, lived with his family on Peach Street, and was a 1987 graduate of Cooper High School. While at Cooper, Mike was a member of the CHS Drummers and the Cooper High Marching Band. Playing the drums and the piano were two of Mike's favorite hobbies, both of which he engaged in regularly through his Senior year. A high-scoring student, Mike qualified for early graduation, and left school five months prior to the end of the school year.

During school, Mike held a part-time job at M-System Grocery on 12th & Mockingbird Street. In his Senior year, Mike enjoyed spending his time playing tennis and golf, and performing ride-alongs with an active Buffalo Gap police officer. His job helped him to buy his first new car, a red Datsun 280ZX, and he had also just enrolled at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, where he would pursue a career
in architecture - a life change that he was looking forward to. Right after his early graduation, Mike switched to full time in order to make some extra money for college. Mike was three short weeks away from beginning his new life in Lubbock prior to the start of classes in September, 1987.
On June 8, 1987 Mike finished his shift at M-System at 11:00 PM. He arrived at his home within the half-hour - and then vanished. Michael Adams has never been seen again. Investigators fear that Mike has likely been dead since that evening, although no remains have ever been recovered. His family petitioned Taylor County to have him legally declared dead in 1994.
Kind, witty, funny, generous, smart, hard-working - these are some of the words most often used to describe Michael Adams. This website is dedicated to his memory. It's purpose is to act as a memorial for a wonderful young man, to determine what ultimately happened to Mike, and to bring closure to the people in his life who love him, and still care.
