Five years since Evelyn Adams’ attack

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Friday marks five years since an intruder attacked a 76-year-old woman in her home.

An intruder broke into Evelyn Adams’ home during a snowstorm Feb. 23, 2019. Due to weather conditions, police took longer to arrive to the home after Evelyn’s initial call for help.

Evelyn was taken to a hospital, but five days later, she passed away from injuries.

Evelyn’s murder is still under investigation. Now, five year later, family, friends, and police continue to search for answers.

Officials ask anyone with information on the day of this attack on Evelyn Adams to reach out to the Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office, or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Minnesota.

There’s a $1,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest of those who are responsible for her death.
