Casey Tyler Adams was born February 3,1981 at 6:52pm in Carson City, Nevada. He was lbs and oz. When Casey was 3 we moved to El Cajun, CA then to San Diego until he was 10. We ave spent the rest of our time here in Sonoma County. Casey has only lived in Santa Rosa except for a year in Washington and a few months in Windsor.
Casey went to Doyle Elementary, then Santa Rosa Junior High, then Montgomery and Mesa. He loved skateboarding and was sponsored by (can't remember have to ask my mom). When he was 14 or 15 he had an accident that broke his hip while skating. He still skated but not as much because of the pain it caused him. Even before he died he had pain occasionally when it got cold out. His first job was at ARCO on 4th street. He was soon after promoted to manager. After that he excelled to manage a total of three stores. He then decided to join his best friend Crystal in selling car insurance. He took his insurance test and pasted it the first time. He worked at Cost U Less for two years until he was then moved to management again. He worked in the Santa Rosa office for a total of four years. Casey was studying for his real estate license to join me, his sister as a real estate agent and loan officer. We were starting a family business and he was ecstatic at this. He liked selling insurance but he always felt that he was taking advantage of people. He liked the mechanics of the job but was really looking forward to making people happy in his job.
Casey loved staying up late, movies, tattoos, he loved gambling (no slot machines though, he hated those). He loved music, specifically Tech9ne and Eminem (who he resembles a lot). He even tried to get into an exclusive bar in Ireland by pretending to be him. He laughed ALOT, always smiling. He would be the first to laugh at you if you did something stupid and the first to laugh and get your joke. Casey was great at art, photography and computer graphics. He would spend hours working on different designs from photos he took. He actually won some awards for some of his pictures. I am sure he would have continued to excel at this as well.
Casey also spent sometime in a few bands spinning records.
Casey loved traveling. He even had written somewhere that he wanted to go EVERYWHERE before he died. Casey loved new things, which is why he made friends everywhere he went. He went white water rafting and skydiving. His latest plans were for for hang gliding. He had sent an email to all of his friends before he died with an advertisement for skydiving that simply stated "who's with me". He also had plans for bungie jumping, although Nikki was having none of that.
No matter what mood you were in, Casey is someone you always wanted to be around. He would bring a smile to your face when you were sad, make you laugh when you were angry, and lend his shoulder when you were crying. He prided himself on moral and ethics. He wasn't perfect and he would be the first one to tell you that. He would say that anyone who thought that they or anyone else was perfect was stupid. He had a high standard for himself and for everyone around him. If you made mistakes you paid the price. Casey believed that everyone makes mistakes but the goal is to learn from your mistakes and make yourself a better person. Casey had a few friends that at different times had been in jail. He would never go see them while they were incarcerated. He thought it was stupid and he wasn't going to encourage that behavior by supporting them while they were in there. He always said I will see them as soon as they get out and maybe they will learn not to be so stupid next time. Casey never got into trouble. He never got into fights. He prided himself always saying over and over again that he would never throw the first hit, why fight when you can hang out and meet new people. It almost feels as though he knew this was his fate. For years he pounded this in to our heads. We would never question it. We KNEW. He would never, ever start a fight.
Casey believed in standing up for what you believe in. If you didn't stand up for it then you really didn't care much about it in the first place. He had gotten into an accident awhile back and the newspapers had printed articles about it. They had printed some incorrect statements. I found in Casey's emails that he had sent a bunch of letters into the newspaper asking them to not print mis information and that he would be happy to give them correct facts. He actually got the newspaper to retract statements and apologize. Casey had a lot of conviction.
Casey spent every moment he had with everyone he loved and the rest of the time serving all of his clients, which he also loved. He was happy anytime any of us wanted to get together. He would always be there. The day he died he was coming to my house, as a celebration of our first house being completed and to spend time together as a family.
Casey hated Christmas. He didn't like that people were obligated to buy presents for each other. Yet on Christmas, he would have presents for everyone (usually his shopping time was Christmas eve). If he saw something a friend or family member would like he would buy it for no other reason than to make you smile. The mother of Casey's goddaughter told me that every holiday he would show up to his god daughters house with the biggest present he could find.
When he went to Ireland, his girlfriend at the time, Carina, told him he couldn't buy any more presents because they wouldn't fit on the plane. So Casey went in the backseat of the car, stuffed with presents, and wrapped them all up with tape so that they would take up the least amount of room, therefore, giving more room for more presents.
If anyone of his friend or family needed him he was there. When I (Jennifer, Casey's sister) moved home from Reno, Casey drove me and my car up to Reno and then drove my car back here in the same day, just so that I would not have to tow my car behind the uhaul. On his only day off he did this.
Whenever I needed Casey just to complain or vent about something he was there. Always at work, because he would never answer that stupid cell phone of his. Which I always gave him a hard time about. Casey wouldn't always agree with me, actually LIKE me, I think he would find the other side. He would sit and listen to me, make his own decision and help me to see that other side of the coin when I needed too. He was the only one who could do this for me.
Casey was always so proud of his family and friend's accomplishments. He would celebrate them. He would encourage and support any of us, in whatever we wanted to do.
Once you were Casey's friend, you were always his friend. There were three girls that me and Casey had grown up with. Casey maintained ties with them, and he was 10! Awhile ago, he had sought out all of our distant 2nd, 3rd, even 4th cousins. They had all made plans to get together this summer. Some we had never met, but to Casey, they were family and he needed to have a relationship with them. This to me was one of Casey's best quality. He was like the tie that binds. I hope that this will inspire everyone who reads it. I know he would want it that way.
Casey was very intelligent. When he was a child he came home one day and told my mother that he decided he didn't need to do homework anymore. He aced every test, quiz and assignment his teachers gave him, so homework was just repetitive and stupid. He actually boycotted homework for awhile. His teachers didn't care much for that. But he had rationalized it, and that is the way it should be.
Casey loved to paint. Years before he sold insurance he worked for a short time as a painter until he passed his real estate exam. Our family had started a business together flipping houses. Casey was our painter. He would have it no other way. He only had one day off per week and many of those days he spent working with us, painting our houses. He had just finished our last house the month he died. I can still walk around the house and see him painting with care and precision listening to his mp3 player with his head phones because he didn't like the country or rock we were playing. Whenever he was here painting, I would be doing tile or something and we would have these long conversations on relationships, religion, the meaning of life etc. I would always go and talk to him while he was painting. After he died I found his mp3 player and the headphone wires were covered in the different colored paint we had used on our house.
Casey and my mom had a very special relationship. I was never jealous because I loved them both and felt that they both needed each other. He loved everything about my mom, including her eccentricities. He was not judgemental at all, unlike me. Two years ago he even offered my mom $1500 per month so that she could own her own home. Which he had been giving her ever since. Even at times when he might struggle for money, he always made sure my mom was taken care of.
One of Casey's downfalls was that he would never ever ask for help. FROM ANYONE-EVER! He always believed we are responsible for our own actions and that he could take care of himself.
Casey was not a saint. But he loved and was loved by so many people. From all different walks of life. One of the most important things to him was his dog Acacia. I have found thousands of photos of her. He thought she was the greatest thing in the world.
I did look up to my brother in a lot of ways. He would have laughed if I had told him that when he was alive. He would have thanked me but said that is nice, but the only person you should look up to is yourself. You are the only one who can make yourself better, do the right thing, and create your own happiness. Casey was the only man that has always been in my life. I was lucky to have him as a brother even if only for the 26 years I got to share with him. I will miss him forever. I can't imagine spending the next 50 years without him. It kills me that every memory I will have for the rest of my life will not include him. Casey had not to long ago found the love of his life and had planned to marry her. They had recently decided to try to get pregnant and have a baby. They had been trying for 9 days prior to him being killed. I know how bad mine pain is. Nikki didn't only lose Casey, but she lost her life. I have to be thankful though that he had found her before he died. He spent his last months very happy, thanks to her. She will forever be my sister in law, he picked a great match for our family. I think he knew that we would need her as much as she needs us.
He was a good man, with a great heart. He was taken away from us all way too soon. it's not fair and it's not right. But to the hundred of people who knew and loved him thank you for making his 26 years count. I know he loves you all.
I love you Case...thank you for all that you are and all that you gave us.

Casey Tyler Adams...
Was and is my everything. He was the reason I woke up every morning and the reason I took a breath every second of every minute of every day. Casey made my life worth living and he knew that. One night, we were in bed, and as some people know I was being treated for anxiety and major depression, anyway, I was pretty heavily medicicated so to say and he looked at me and said "I just think that you never felt you had a reason to live. Now that you met me, and we're together and plan on getting married and having a child together, you can wake up every day with a reason to live". Casey and I decided we wanted to have a child but knew that with my past and present medical history, we needed to see a doctor. On May 18th, 2007 he met me at the doctors office at 10 in the morning, one hour before he was suppose to be to work. We sat there and discussed our options with the doctor and we both left so happy and content. So content that he wouldnt let me walk one block back to work, he had to drive me. Casey and I both knew what we wanted, what eachother wanted, and we were going to be together for the rest of our lives, and that was the way it was going to be. Someone should have told me that I was going to be with him for the rest of his life, but I wasn't going to die with him. In a way I did, I died the day that he was taken from me. Who would have thought, not me. Casey gave me so many happy times.
Even if I was as sick as a dog, he still knew how to make me happy. One day, I was so sick, I spent all day on my bathroom floor. I didnt want him around cause I thought it was gross and embarrassing. He didn't feel that way. In fact, he called me every ten minutes and begged me to come over with soup. I finally gave in, but told him I wouldnt let him in if he had food. By the time he came over, I was on the bathroom floor and thats where I remained. He sat there next to me until I was ready to get up and helped me into bed.
As Jen said, Casey would do anything for his family and friends, and that he did. Casey had this amazing amount of love for everyone he cared about. I can see why everyday when I am around his family and his friends. I do not know what I would do without any of them. Everyone who was friends with Casey, I want the same. I want to be a part of Casey in any way that I can be. Thats what I have to live for. When I am around his friends and family, I see why he loved every single one of them.
I love Casey. Every second of every minute of every hour of each day. I can't see my life being any different.
This picture was taken last year around February. Casey, my mom, me and my grandmother.

Thank you all
Casey loves to spend time with friends and family. He loves to laugh and have a good time. Casey always makes the best out of everything and has a great sense of humor. Casey also loves to make money, he worked pretty close to seven days a week. He loves to take Acacia and Bebe to the park and throw the ball.
Corrie Walker: Casey, I don't remember what day it was buy you came in the day I started my tattoo at Evolution Tattoo. You walked in thinking Jerry was there. But it was me. You totally said my tattoo was "sick". I told you Jerry didn't like the fact that I was getting a tattoo. You told me not to let what other people say or think crush my ideas. So I felt way better hearing that from someone who knows him. Before you left I told you where we had moved to and you went over there to hang out. I was hella scared to come home with this huge tattoo of the Bride of Frankie on my arm. When I got home Jerry almost flipped his wig. But thanks to Casey being there he stayed calm and told me that it was Big but it was cool. Thank you Casey. I miss you so much but you are always and forever in my heart. Please watch over my friend Justin while you are up there. Love you!
Jerry: Casey told me to shut the f*ck up once then he called me a fag. He was my boy. Back in the day me and my friends used to itch our nuts then tell our friends to smell it then slap them across the face. When I did it to Casey he was laughing and my finger went in his mouth. He was mad at me for about one month.
Tiggy: Casey, you know I liggity Love you Monkey!
Unknown: Casey, you were a great person, I'll see you again someday. R.I.P.
Emily: Casey, I love you. You were so awesome to know I'm glad we got to hang out together recently I'll miss you boy.
Adam: I remember when we were behind socos getting pennies to play craps with just to pass time. This old guy came up and watched us playing for pennies and asked if he could jump in. I think he won or we won but he ended up giving us all the change in his pocket.
Unreadable: "Don't give that b**** anymore $" I was stupid I admit. It was great seeing them. Thanks for coming to my baby shower. I'll be thinking of you. I love you.
Jason: Casey-Jeu free otch you should be here getting fucked up and talking about which one of us is more irish-Anyways, I think I am I will never forget all the crazy things we did-runners, throwing oranges off of the parking garage, tagging with salami sticks, learning to beat juggle, scratch and cut bents together, Discovering the black eight ball, crying on your shoulder just one week ago. I f*ckin love you, so much more to say you irish bastard you are in my heart forever and my sisters. I love you forever I'll see you one day.
Adam Provencher: Casey Adams a great friend to me and everyone in his path, Casey set a goal and met it always talked big and backed it. Casey changed me from coach bum to someone. He never judged anyone and always helped his friends. Aquarius to Aquarius.
J.My...:Casey had an incredible wit he would shoot back a joke off of anything you said. He was definately one of the sharpest quickest people ever have to walked the planet. The world is a crazy place, a place where your life can change with every breath. We can only hope that we are true to ourselves and others while we are here. I miss you and I love you man. My heart goes out to the family and...I just am going to miss him. God is love.
Lisa Murphy: Casey, who always made me smile when I saw him. Who knew what to say when the time came. Who told you What's up when your so stupid. Who loved to get stupid with you. Who knew what was going on, loved his family and his friends. Miss you...
Chris: Things won't be the same around here, I hope I get the chance to meet you in my next life. Oh I'm sorry I'm sitting at your desk, don't worry I haven't touched anything but your pen, it's a good pen! I think I'll keep it so I can have your power to write deals, man, you should've seen Chris Molloy yesterday he wrote 5. 3's you would've been proud of him. He's my manager now cuz Carina is moving to Petaluma. Anyway i hope all is well. hold it down for me over there i'll be there soon enough...RIP
John Riggs: I remember way back when I lived with Keri and Misty at out 9th street house, so Casey was basically a fourth roommate. Him and Misty used to get into the biggest fights at like 6:00am. I would come out in my underware, walk right between them and start making coffee...And I hate the mornings. But I always did get a big laugh because he would apologize and laugh himself. I love you Casey and will miss you greatly...And I'm still better at video games.
Dynasty Warriors Sucka.
Unreadable: Casey, wow what to say I know you from or through good friends so in there I knew you to be a good friend. I didn't know you well but at the same time I did. So many nights at the robin and other Rosa spots brought loads of fun and great times. I wish I wasn't having to write this at least not now, but shits fucked up and fucked up shit happens. I hope all is well and your in a better place, because you deserve it, you were one of the few good ones that made this shitty place better. Much love and peace.
Mike: Casey I met you when you were in elementary school. You were friends with Red and Joe. It seems like only a couples of years since then, and you have always been a man of your word, you would set goals for yourself and achieve every one of them, you were always looking out for all of us, no matter what. Jason and I always used to call you "The boy and his shotty" for that big shotgun you had, I am thankful for the time I had with you, and glad to have known you. I will miss you, rest in peace my friend.
Josh Emrey: Casey, I met you around 10 years ago downtown. When we were young punks runnin around raising hell. Ah the good ole days. Now years later we hardly see each other but I still consider you a good friend and someone very cool. And look at how things have been the last year, you selling insurance, me selling toys, both finally pretty much grown up. Unbelieveable how much things have changed. Unbelievable how much we both turned our lives around. I always thought you were a truely awesome person, funny as hell, great sense of humor and always cool and laid back, around me at least. I hope your chillin up in heaven where you belong bro. Hope to see you again someday. It's funny I can't think of a single time I ever saw you not smiling and I always envied that. Thanks for trying to put smiles on my face when I was down in the dumps. You'll never know how much I truely appreciate it. Take it easy, see you again someday. Love you bro! God speed and Rest In Peace. Love.
Tatum: Casey, I'm so glad I met you and that I've gotten to know you better over the past month. You make work so fun and it makes my day better when your perverted ass is around joking, about everything, picking on people, or even when your pissed off, you're so entertaining. I'm sure you'll always have some great tasting meat, which I always love to eat =0). I can't wait to see you again Gasey! Ha Ha You are an awesome person. Take care, I love you! Always.
Jen: Casey, I've been wanting your help at work! You were great at whatever you did, including selling insurance. =0) You also made this place a f*cking blast to work at. you were the only reason i actually WANTED to go to work. I miss you calling me names =0. I miss your presence here. All I gots to say is that this place is LAME without you and I miss ya! Hope your livin it up wherever you are. I will always remember the nice a**hole, Casey. Love you and I'll miss you! PS: I still owe you two coffees.
Karin: Casey, Hey, it's your favorite person in the whole world Karin. I am sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye. You were a wonderful person who did not deserve what happened to you, I hope those bastards rot in jail for what they did to you. It was such an honor to work with you, you definitely made if fun to come to work everyday and I will never forget you. I hope you got your wish and are having a few drinks with Satan like you wanted. I was so glad, that I got to know you and got to work with you for all these years. I miss you!
Crystal: Casey, I feel honored to spend your last moments with you. I feel messed up now for saying everything happens for a reason. I remember your girlfriends calling me every time you guys would get in a fight, you would take off and usually be at my house. You are the most generous person I have ever met! You did everything and anything you could for me. Remember following me home from the bar and you getting pulled over! Then talking you way out of a DUI! No one else lets me call them fags! I love you and want you to know that you have touched so many people. Not in the perverted sense. Love ya.
Nikki: Casey, my most favorite memory of you is my last-the last night we had together before the incident. We were in my car-I was freezing cold and coughing. The dogs were in the front seat and we were cuddling in the back seat and we were so warm. You always kept me warm-Sometimes too warm you were stroking my neck and face telling me how much you love me , all I could do is smile you told me "I'm in the car with my 2 sweethearts and i can't wait to have our third". You asked me if I had taken any pregnancy tests and I regretfully said no. You put your hand on my chin and made me look at you and you said to me " You will have my baby and when I get some money you will be wearing my ring and one day you will be my wife, I will marry you baby". I felt like crying cause I was so happy, but I stayed strong for you. Wish I could be just as strong as I was that night. Harley and Crystal came and opened the door and started making fun at us, but we were okay with that. You loved me and weren't afraid to show it. You looked at me and said...I'm gonna go back out for a bit, but you need to say here and stay warm cause I have to take care of the woman who is gonna be carrying my child-I love you". You kissed me and then left-saying you would be back and you never came back...Only the cops. Casey-I love you so damn much and always will-you are and always will be the love of my life. Love always, your sweetheart. xoxoxoxo
Liz and Nora: When I hear the news about what happened to our KK (This was my nick name for him) I broke down and couldn't believe what happened to him. KK entered out lives 7 years ago. He used to work my Husband Miguel and knew our son Anthony, when I met KK he was kind and always had a great sense of humor, when Miguel asked Casey to be Nora's Godfather he was so thrilled, he didn't hesitate at all. He was and will always be loved by our family. He loved his Goddaughter unconditionally. He would call her almost every week and always made time to visit her. On the day that I heard the news, him and Nicole where coming over to visit so that she can meet his little girl Nora. KK will be missed very much and his Nora will never forget her Mino. He was always the light of her eyes.
Marcus Wheat: I grew up with Casey in Santa Rosa. He was an awesome friend to have. He always treated me with respect, and would always make me and my brothers laugh. I'm going to miss him, my best memory, is when we used to hang out downtown, and laugh at stupid shit. Casey had the best laugh. He was a good friend to me, he will live on in all of us!
Tashia: You have a person in your soul you should be so very proud of, as I know you are. I just wanted to send my condolences to you, Casey's family. I've known Casey for many years and am hurting pretty bad at the moment, but for as sad as i am I know it can only be a fraction of what you and many others might be feeling. Casey was a wonderful person, who told it how it is and always kept it real. He always made me laugh, his cackle keeps running through my head. He loved his family and talked about you all the time. I know you know what a great guy he is and how many people he touched on a daily basis. He will be truely missed. I have been praying every night for him, you, his friends and all the ones he touched. I loved him dearly.
Francesca: Hi Jennifer, I am not only Morningsong's friend, but fellow tenor and housemate (unit beyond the laundry room). I wanted to share a moment I had with Casey when I first moved in. I was having a problem with the plumbing in the shower. There was a major sewage problem. So in comes Casey to the rescue. Knee deep in this "crap" and for a few days really worked on it. When it was all said and done and fixed, I said to Casey "Your mom owes you big time" his response was, "No, I owe my mom big time. This is nothing compared to what I really owe her. I really put her through hell". What I saw was his devotion to his mother. Love, respect for her and the tender heart he had. I loved his laugh, sparkling eyes and those tattoos! Take care...
Tanye: I think it was spring of 96. My parents were out of town so I had Anna and Casey spend the night at my house. Since we could do anything we wanted that night we decided to walk to the park really late. Once we got there we saw some kind of red light. It was probably just a laser light but in our heads we concocted that it was a sniper at the park so we spent the whole time hiding on the slide. When we finally had the guts to go home we decided it would be fun to pee on every corner we saw. (I have no idea why!)
The next day Casey and I walked downtown. On the way we stopped at his grandma’s for a coke. After hanging out downtown for a while we ended up at the Federal building with Amanda, Lara, Boyde, and a few others. I ended up having one of my really bad attacks. Boyde tried to call my sister at the payphone but ended up having to call an ambulance because he couldn’t get a hold of my sister. Casey skated to the Corner store. When he returned the ambulance had gotten there. He handed me an orange juice and said, “Here I bought you this,” then reached in his pocket he pulled out another one and said, “and I stole you one too.”
In 2002 I had this crush on a guy who lived in Davis. Casey and a few others use to tease me because he had sent me a postcard from Scotland and I read it over and over. One day he finally visited me in Santa Rosa. We were hanging out in my apartment. I am pretty sure I had the whole day planned at how to make this guy fall in love with me. I had purposely locked the door so no one would barge in. He hadn’t been over for more than 10 minutes when Casey showed up banging on my door and shouting, “I know you are there, I see your car. Why is your door locked?” After I let him in he demanded I make him soup while he chatted it up with the guy I had liked.

Natasha Johnson AKA Natasha Thompson:Casey, I wrote u this poem sitting in front of target in Santa Rosa getting ready to come to your mothers house. It was hard because the closer we got the more real it was becoming that you are no longer here. My fist memories of "family" were you, Jennifer and your mother and me, Andrea and my mother. You guys were my first family and I still keep you in my heart as family. I'm so happy that you had a good life and wow all YOUR FRIENDS. That's amazing Casey. Remember at my mothers wedding, me, you and Andrea on the dance floor, dancing all night. It was great. I love you Casey and I'm so sad we didn't hang out before you left but childhood memories are precious. Love us see you at my wedding. "Saying Goodbye to My Friend".
To my old Friend
I emember when our lives had
just began
Using sheets to make tents for pretend
The first friend I can remember
A place in my heart forever
Related through our mothers
You and Andrea were more like brothers
The first boy I ever kissed
Running the sewers and gutters with my sis
Ignorance is Bliss
And now I"m writing this
Oh how your spirit is one
We will always miss
Andrea Pretlow:
I don't kow how?
I don't know why?
But there has to be another part
So I can say good-bye!
One more frog!
Lord a longer sewer!
So I can say good-bye
To this boy that turned into
a man I never saw
This man lord let me say good-bye
I love you Casey
Jessica Fremland:Casey, I don't really know what to say. You knew me when I was just a baby and I wish I had a better ecollection. It sucks that when we were finally getting in touch again this happened. I wish we could have gotten together. All of us. Death is the hardest thing to accept because I want to be selfish, but I know that I have to...God has a plan for us all. You brought so many people together, in love. It's really beautiful to feel and see, and it's all for you. We all love you and miss you very much. I can't wait for the day when we'll meet again. I love you Casey!
Jean LaBlanc:Hi Casey, You turned into a handsome young man; I can still see the little boy I knew in your grown up face. I wish I could have been near you so maybe you could have shared some of your thoughts with me; maybe I could've helped you out. But, it is as it is...I feel sad that you left us so soon and sudden and too young to have not loved longer. I went to your celebration gathering, you touched so many people in so many ways you gave a lot to all different kinds of people. Your memory will live in everyone you knew and who loved you. May your journey in the spirit world be blessed and filled with beauty of god's love. Much love to you.

Friday, August 10,2007
All three men plead not guilty to the charges filed against them. All three waived their time right to a speedy trial. For this, that means they are going to drag on the case as long as possible. Our next court appearance is scheduled for September 14th, Nikki and my grandmothers birthday. We asked for them not to do it then so that we had that day. The prosecutor and the judged asked the defendants to change the date to the 13th and offered a few other days, the last offering was a week later. Obviously we want things to happen as soon as possible so we declined. The defense attorney for Robert Marcus said that the 14th was Marcus's day off and he had already lost one job since Casey was killed. So it stands on the 14th, god forbid they miss a day of work.
One thing that made us a little happy yesterday was all three lost their jobs. Daren Bell also broke his foot and has to have a hernia operation next week. Karma seems to work quickly even though it will never make up for our loss.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The defense will hire private investigators to dig up crap on Casey. If ANYONE is contacted by ANYONE asking for information DO NOT TALK TO THEM. The investigators will miss represent themselves saying they are from the newspaper or from the public defenders office, or the county. DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE without first speaking to either Jennifer, Morningsong, Nikki or Rob. Get their name and phone number and tell them you will call them back after verifying their identity. AGAIN THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, DO NOT DISCUSS THE CASE OR CASEY WITH ANYONE. ALSO DO NOT DISCUSS ANY INFORMATION YOU COME ACROSS WITH ANY OF THE WITNESSES. WE DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO JEOPARDIZE THE CASE. THE WITNESSES ARE STAYING AWAY FROM NEWSPAPERS AND WEBSITES. PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO THEM ABOUT ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HEAR. Thank you, we love you all!

One of the defense attorney's challenged the judge we had. What this means is we have to go back to court on Friday for them to reassign a new judge, I am sure they will again attempt to get out of bail. I will let you know who the new judge is as soon as we know.
Thursday, August 23, 2007
We went before the head judge this morning and he reassigned Casey's Case to Judge Hutchinson. We then went to Judge Hutchinson's court room and confirmed that the next date for court is September 14, 2007. On this date they will set the date for the preliminary hearing which with any luck will be set for this year and not pushed into next year. Martell was the only defendant present, the other two had filed a petition so that their attorney's could be present for them. For the next date though, they are all required to be there. As for our new judge, it looks like this may be good news for us. He was also a former prosecutor for the Marin County District Attorney's office for 10+ years. I am quite certain that the defense is not happy about this, but too bad they used their challenge. We will next be assigned a prosecutor for the trial. We will meet with them prior to September 14, 2007. Martell's attorney was the one who challenged the judge, his last name is Naratell and he is from Sacramento. I'm guessing the other two attorney's are not happy because the out of town attorney challenged the judge, possibly making it harder for them. It is my understanding that Hutchinson was a great prosecutor and an excellent judge. Guess money doesn't get you that far...

Preliminary hearing set for November 14th, 2007
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007
Preliminary hearing was November 14th, 15th, 19th and 20th. Small victory for us, all three defendants held accountable to their charges. Next court appearance, the arraignment, as scheduled Tuesday December 18th.
Prior updates:
I want to let everyone know today before the newspapers come out tomorrow that the three suspects held in custody are being released today. I want everyone to remember that this was not a trial and that they are not be acquitted. I know this is difficult but it's not over. We want the DA and detectives to have as much time as they need so that Justice is served. They just need more time to sort through everything, don't think that this means that it's over, it's not. This is still a very open Homicide investigation. As soon as we know more you will too, and this doesn't change anything all it is is red tape and part of the process.

This is a message for Robert Martell, Daren Corbett Bell, and Robert Allen Marcus:
My name is Nikki, and for those of you who do not know me, I am Casey's fiancee. Casey Tyler Adams not only lost his life, but he lost everyone who loves him. I think that it's time for the three of you to take responsibility for what you have done to Casey and those who love him. You know what you did and it's time for you to stop beating around the bush and take your punishment, what little it is. Stop putting yourselves, your families, and the rest of us who love and miss Casey through such torture.
Each and every day I wake up not the same. I do not have the life that was taken from me and the least you could do is stand up and take your punishment. I hope that you, or someone you know reads this and passes this message on. Do the right thing, for all of us.

I just wanted everyone to know that Casey will be cremated tomorrow Tuesday June 5th at 11:00am PST in case you want to do a moment of silence, a prayer, drink toast or anything else. We love you Casey... .. .. - Get Your Own
MOM'S TATTOO- We found this drawing in Casey's room. He had designed it. Inside the heart of the Claddagh is the celtic knot symbolizing a mothers love.
JENN'S TATTOO- the writing is the same that Casey had on his back. At the top is the blue celtic aquarius symbol. Me and Casey were both Aquarius as our birthdays were only ten days apart. I am going to change the green in his name to blue though so it stands out.
Jason's Tattoo Mike's tattoo
Annie's tattoo, same as what Casey and Joe had tattooed except in Mandarin "While the wicked stand confounded, call me with thy saints surrounded."

Casey's life was taken to soon by complete strangers while he was camping with his girlfriend and friends. If there was anything to say about Casey it would be that not only did he love his family and friends but that he lived his life for them. He was 26 years old and loved everything Irish, skateboarding, snowboarding, Caribou Lous, Tech N9ne, gambling, tattoos, music and art. He sold insurance at Cost U Less in Santa Rosa for 4 years and was studying to get his real estate license. He lived in Santa Rosa for 16 years and was born in Nevada. He is survived by his mother Cynkay Morningsong, his sister, Jennifer Adams, his grandmother Clyda, his love Nichole Yankey, his dog Acacia and hundreds of friends. Casey made friends everywhere he went and kept them for life. We will miss his heart with all of ours.
