TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — A Cherokee County grand jury investigating the disappearance of a Northeastern State University student seven years ago will resume work on Tuesday.
Carl Adams filed a petition to impanel the jury on behalf of his 26-year-old son, Stephen Adams, who vanished after leaving a class on Dec. 13, 2004.
The panel recessed Nov. 9 to allow authorities to investigate more leads. Assistant District Attorney Jack Thorp, who advises the panel, told the Tulsa World (http://bit.ly/zsiKgz) the delay has been beneficial for the investigation.
Stephen Adams was last seen at a convenience store in Cookson, about 12 miles from the university. Reports show he spoke to his girlfriend on a cell phone and told her he was going to give someone a ride.
Thorp says his pickup truck hasn't been found.
