Adams is accused of butchering the body of Christopher Adams so badly that police couldn’t immediately determine his gender after it was discovered wrapped in a blanket and a duct-taped plastic bag in a heap of trash on Oct. 26. NThe NYPD took custody of Joseph Adams not long after he was detained by authorities during a traffic stop near New Orleans.
