Murder Victim’s Mother Speaks Up

The pain of losing a child is said to be the worst kind of pain.  No one knows that better than Angela Small, the mother of Adam Bolton who was murdered two years ago while he slept.

Small moved to Panama City after Adam’s death looking for closure, but to date she has none.

Angela Small sent Adam to live with family in Florida from Detroit to keep him out of trouble. But only a year later Adam Bolton was shot and killed at his Grace Avenue Apartment.  He was only 20 years old.  That was January 2007. 

Fast forward two years and investigators still have very few answers for the grieving mother.

“I have days that are just horrible,” says Small.

After the case’s original investigator was reassigned, Small says she’s received very few updates from the Panama City Police Department.

“I have faith in the justice that everything will turn out okay but I just need the justice system to do what it’s supposed to do,” says Small.

Small says she and her two young daughters frequently see the man that’s a suspect in the case.  And they just want him put away.

“Even if it goes to trial and a jury of his peers don’t think all of this circumstantial evidence is enough, that would still be some form of closure.” 

Investigators assure News 13, they’re still working. 

“We have a lot of information we are still following up on that we have investigators working on,” says PCPD Capt. Mark Aviles.
