“The Jones County Sheriff’s Department got a phone call from the Waynesboro police department to do a welfare check on Mr. Adcock,” said JCSD Investigator Thad Windham. “Charlie actually managed and operated a pawn shop over in Waynesboro, and the Waynesboro police department had discovered a burglary to that pawn shop.”
'Windham said this busy crime scene was just the tip of the iceberg. That same day, the Jones County deputies soon found that Adcock was dead in the kitchen of his home.'
“He had been shot in the back of the head, execution style, inside his residence,” Windham said. “Mr. Adcock was known to do a little business dealings from his residence, such as loaning people money, pawning items, firearms, such as that. But at this point, I do believe the connection and the motive was robbery.”
''Windham also said that witnesses reported seeing a black female and a vehicle parked near Adcock’s residence on Highway 590.''
“We had witnesses who actually saw that female and that vehicle parked right close to Charlie’s driveway,” said Windham. “So that was part of the murder. And Charlie trying to help her, again, like I said, him being a good Samaritan, so to speak, was, I think, part of his demise.”

''When a case gets this cold, Little said officers believe someone in the public knows something about the case. Multiple witnesses over the years told deputies they saw three people, two men and a woman, on the side of the road by Adcock's house the night he was killed.''
"I guess it's just a little hard to believe that with three different people, I guess the hope was that somebody would talk, and the information would get back to somebody who would report it," Robison said. "That just hasn't happened yet. So it's just a little surprising that someone out there somewhere knows something, but no one's talking right now."
COLD CASE: Do you know what happened to Henry Charles Adcock?
A death investigation that crossed the Jones-Wayne County Line in the summer of 2011 has remained cold for years.
“The Jones County Sheriff’s Department got a phone call from the Waynesboro police department to do a welfare check on Mr. Adcock,” said JCSD Investigator Thad Windham. “Charlie actually managed and operated a pawn shop over in Waynesboro, and the Waynesboro police department had discovered a burglary to that pawn shop.”

Jones County Sheriff's Department, family seek tips in cold case
The Jones County Sheriff's Department and family members of a man murdered six years ago hope someone with information will come forward to help close the now cold case.
"I guess it's just a little hard to believe that with three different people, I guess the hope was that somebody would talk, and the information would get back to somebody who would report it," Robison said. "That just hasn't happened yet. So it's just a little surprising that someone out there somewhere knows something, but no one's talking right now."
