<description>&lt;div&gt;On July 11th, 1996, the half-naked body of Blair Adams, a 31-year-old Canadian citizen, was found in the parking lot of a construction site in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had been beaten to death and surrounding him were thousands of dollars in cash, gold, jewelry and travel documents. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Detectives soon learned that in the days leading up to his murder, Blair had been acting strange. He told his friends that someone was trying to kill him, and he needed to get to the United States. Then, without warning, he left Canada, criss-crossing the U.S. border, switching vehicles, buying plane tickets, before finally ending up in Knoxville, a city where he didn't know anyone. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nearly 29 years later, investigators still don't know who killed Blair Adams, or why he was in Knoxville in the first place.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Blaire Adams was last seen on surveillance footage at 7:37 p.m. on July 10th, 1996, walking out of the Fairfield Inn lobby in Knoxville, Tennessee, just off Strawberry Plains Pike. Early the next morning, his body was found in a parking lot of a nearby construction site, and he had been brutally beaten. Anyone with information in this case should contact the Knox County Sheriff's Office at (865) 215-2243.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
