McKINNEY (CBSDFW.COM) - A Frisco man convicted of the capital murder was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
According to the Collin County DA's office, in March of 2013, Michael Kevin Adams, 53, abducted and sexually assaulted Nicole Leger and threatened to kill her.
Eventually he released her, and she reported his crimes to the Frisco Police Department. Adams was arrested, but posted bond on the Denton County offenses.
The DA's office said Leger moved to Melissa in Collin County to hide out from Adams, renting a house in a friend's name. She also put the utilities in another's name to avoid detection. Adams, who worked for a vehicle repossession company, used a GPS tracking device to locate her new home and by phone threatened to kill her if she testified against him in the Denton County cases. Adams' work computer revealed searches for and routes to her home in Melissa.
On Sept. 9, 2013, Adams entered Leger's home and shot her twice in the head, killing her. Investigators from the Melissa Police Department, Collin County Sheriff's Office, and Texas Rangers collected DNA, digital evidence from Adams' work computer, and firearms comparison evidence.
The jury returned a guilty verdict for capital murder which carried an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole.
