Neta Lee Adams, 81-years old, was discovered dead in a ditch along Gordon Street on the morning of March 31. The Wilkes County Sheriff's Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation began an investigation into her death. Two days later, an autopsy performed at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab determined the cause of death was traumatic injury caused by dog attack. The death was ruled accidental. "The autopsy results were consistent with what we saw at the scene," Wilkes County Sheriff Mark Moore said. No one witnessed the attack, but neighbors told Sheriff Moore that Adams had a habit of walking and gathering cans early each morning. "There was evidence of a struggle on the ground, with broken yard furniture and scratches, blood, and clothing on the ground," Sheriff Moore said. After her mauling death, the sheriff's department and local authorities aggressively responded to all dog calls, hoping to locate the attackers. The dogs were never found; their owner got away with murder.
