A missing Larimer County woman was likely killed in her bedroom and then wrapped in a blanket and duct tape, according to court documents obtained by 7NEWS.
Kathy Adams' body was found on the side of Highway 36 near Pinewood Springs on Oct. 23, 13 days after she was reported missing.
Court documents indicate that investigators found broken glass at the back door of her house at 920 1/2 East Mulberry when they went to check on her welfare on Oct. 10. When they entered the house, they didn’t find anyone inside, but they did find an 8-foot by 10-foot section of carpet had been cut out and removed from one of the bedrooms.
The documents also state that investigators smelled a strong odor of bleach and found what appeared to be a blood spatter on a closet door in the same room.
After finding no one home, they left the house and contacted Adams' sister, Diane, who told them that Kathy had a very tumultuous relationship with her common-law husband, John Marks, Jr.
