Joseph Cyr, who moved out of the Oklahoma City area shortly after Adams' killing in December, was the only man police had connected to Adams who refused to voluntarily provide DNA. A search warrant filed June 18 in Tulsa County reveals that Cyr told his lawyer, Robert Carter, that he didn't feel obligated to provide the DNA sample.

“On June 12, 2012, Inspector (Cris) Cunningham received a voice message from Robert Carter,” the warrant states. “The message states his client ‘does not feel he needs to oblige your request by volunteering' and ‘he would prefer you get a warrant.'”

The warrant was seeking biological samples from Cyr and those have since been obtained.

Cyr, who spoke with The Oklahoman in January, has denied any involvement in the woman's killing.

He does not have a criminal record in Oklahoma.

The decomposing body of Adams was found Jan. 7 off a dirt road near Lake Stanley Draper. She had been reported missing by her husband, Justin Adams, a month earlier.

The husband told investigators that he and his wife were “swingers,” who both actively used Craigslist to solicit men for sex. He also said Jaymie Adams was a working prostitute who was meeting clients the night she disappeared.

The victim was found naked except for a winter coat. She had been stabbed 29 times, including four wounds to the head, according to the autopsy.
