✝️ Christine Lotus Adams, age 35 – July 12 1987, Portland, Oregon, USA 🇺🇸💔
Christine was mother of a daughter, Floria.
She was stabbed to death by serial killer Dayton Leeroy Rogers (The Molalla Forest Killer).
An all-woman jury took six hours to convict Dayton Leroy Rogers of Molalla Forest torture slayings of six prostitutes. The Clackamas County Circuit Court jury convicted Rogers on all 13 counts of aggravated murder, aggravated felony murder and felony murder. He was charged with killing the women during the course of kidnapping, intentional torture and, in one case, sexual abuse.
On November 16, 2015, a Clackamas County jury sentenced Rogers to death for the fourth time. According to his defense attorney, Rogers would have waived all future appeals and allocuted to his crimes in exchange for a true life sentence instead of the death penalty. On November 12, 2021, his death sentence was overturned for the fourth time. This was due in part to a new law signed by Governor Kate Brown, which limited the amount of aggravating factors required for seeking the death penalty. On December 13, 2022, Governor Kate Brown commuted the death sentences of everyone on Oregon’s death row to life without parole.
Rogers is currently incarcerated at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla.
