Police search for suspect in woman’s murder

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- The Zanesville Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating a man they believe is connected to a homicide case.

Police Chief Tony Coury said the department is investigating the death of 44-year-old Kylee Lindell. Lindell is believed to have been murdered on March 31st. Coury said Lindells’ body was found Tuesday in the southern part of Muskingum County. Now the search is on for the suspect.

“At this time we’re actively seeking several individuals we believe orchestrated this crime,” said Coury. “There’s an active warrant for the arrest of Ryan R. Adams, age 30 of Zanesville, for the crime of aggravated murder.”

Coury said Adams is from Zanesville and has strong ties to the area. He is said to be affiliated with a known gang out of the prison system. Coury is stressing to those who may know where Adams is that helping him is a felony offense charged with crime.

“I don’t think we can stress it any harder than the fact that if you aid and abet Ryan Adams we will seek justice against you,” said Coury. “And that goes from giving him a cup of coffee to a glass of water. I don’t care what you do. If you do it for Ryan Adams we want to know about it.”

Adams is considered to be armed and dangerous. If you know of his whereabouts, you are asked to contact either the Zanesville Police Department or the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office. There is a reward available for any information that leads to an arrest.
