Nicole Kristine Leger
She was only 17 when she got pregnant with her son. Nicole was an amazing single mom taking on both parenting rolls. She worked hard to provide for her son. She danced in clubs, worked for a stockbroker and was excepted to nursing school. Then she met Michael Adams.
Adams was a repo man with dyed jet black hair and lived in red brick mini mansion in upscale Frisco, a suburb of Dallas. He made Nicole feel like a queen. He would surprise her with flowers and "I Love You" notes. He also had a terrible case of OCD. He had to have everything in order at all times, even his extensive gun collection.
Nicole and her son eventually moved in with Adams. That is when they learned how OCD Adams really was. He had to have all the labels of items in the fridge facing the same way and no one was allowed to sit on the couch. One night Nicole served her favorite food, spaghetti and a a drop of sauce ended up on the tile floor as well as some spots in the microwave. Adams berated the two for about a week.
Adams began fighting with Nicole all the time and just after two months, Nicole and her son moved out. That is when Adams went to Nicole's house and asked her to marry him. She was ecstatic and, with her son it tow, moved back in with Adams. Nicole wasn't happy for very long.
One day Adams became enraged at Nicole and ripped the ring off her finger so violently that she had to go to the hospital to get a splint for her finger. After this incident, Nicole moved out into an apartment and called off the engagement.
While living in the apartment, their beloved chihuahua, Penelope, ran away. Someone had unlocked the door o their apartment and left it open while they were gone. Besides Nicole and her son, Adams had a key to their apartment as well. Two days later, Nicole and her son found Penelope, she had been run over.
Another time while Nicole and her son were gone, someone gained entry into their apartment again and poured bleach all over their clothes.That wasn't the end of the "bad luck" Nicole and her son would endure. They even had their car lit on fire and it was a total loss.
Nicole had no choice to ask Adams to cosign for a new car, which he did. Then, one day around lunch time, Nicole went over to Adams' house to get what belongings she had left their and to ask if he would sign over the car title. Adams made spaghetti for Nicole that he had laced with a knock-out drug. Nicole got up and went to get her stuff and the room started spinning. Adams then walked Nicole to the bedroom, stripped her naked and violently assaulted her with a sex toy. She couldn't move her arms and legs to fight back, all she could do was keep telling Adams no. Adams then took a bunch of pictures and Nicole passed out. While she was unconscious, Adam, pretending to be Nicole, sent Nicole's son a text saying that she was out with a guy she had been seeing and she was going to stay at his place.
When Nicole woke up she had been hog-tied and duct tape was over he mouth. At some point, Adams had untied Nicole and she somehow got away and ended up pounding on the neighbors door for help. Adams caught her before anyone came to the door and dragged her into his garage. There he threw her on top of a tarp, cuffed her hands and zip-tied her ankles. He then cut of Nicole's hair.
Nicole finally wiggled her way out of her ties, but she couldn't get the handcuffs off, so she tried talking to Adams. She told him that they could go to therapy and work things out. She also promised him that she wouldn't press charges if he let her go.
Adams ended up letting Nicole go and she did pressed charges against him. Nicole told the detective that Adams couldn't control his anger and that he was going to end up killing her if they didn't pick him up. Unfortunately, the detective told her that they couldn't pick him up right away. However, they did get a search warrant and searched Adams' Lexus. Before he could get rid of it, police found the ties that he had used to bind Nicole as well as the sex toy, duct tape and even the tainted spaghetti.
Adams was taken in to custody where he plead not guilty to sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. Which is a first degree felony. This carries a penalty of five to ninety-nine years in a state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Despite this, Adams made bail. Nicole, fearing for her life, took her son and moved to another town in another county.
Nicole and her son were living in Melissa, Texas where she had rented a home and payed the utilities under a friend's name in attempts to hide from Adams. But that didn't help. Despite a protective order against him, he found then using his work computer along with a GPS tracker he secretly had placed on her car. He then left a tarp and handcuffs on the steps in front of her house. He also phoned her and threatened to kill her if she testified against him in the Denton County cases.
Nicole told her new love interest, Scott Grier, about the tarp and handcuffs. Grier was the detective that she had first came to when Adams had kidnapped her. It turned out that Grier also had inappropriate relationships with four other women he was suppose to be helping, which led to him resigning.
On the morning of September 9th, 2013, Nicole son told his mother goodbye and she kissed him on the forehead as he headed off to school. When he arrived home later, Nicole's son felt like everything felt out of place and something didn't seem right. He went over to her bedroom door and knocked on it, but Nicole didn't answer. Her son peeked under the door and saw her foot hanging off her bed. Thinking that she was asleep he knocked a little bit louder and tried to open the door, but it was locked. Nicole's son then went into the kitchen to get a ball point pen to try to pop open the door. Once inside he saw a terrible scene. His mother was lying on her bed, her underwear down on one ankle, her shirt was lifted up over her chest and she had been shot twice in the face and had died instantly. Nicole's son then ran out of the house and utterly heartbroken called 9-1-1.
Adams claimed he was at Homedepot at the time of Nicole's murder. There was surveillance video that appeared to back up his claims. And at the crime scene cops found two different used condoms from two different men. One of those condoms, however, had touch DNA on the outside from Adams. They searched his storage shed and found an arsenal. Tests proved that one of the guns from that shed was the one that killed Nicole.
Adams was eventually charged with capital murder. After less than two hours of deliberation, the jury came back with a guilty verdict. And Adams was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Every year on Nicole's birthday he has spaghetti in her honor.
