Adams pulled a Houdini in 2019, busting out of custody in Hawaii where he was doing time for swiping a cool $130,000 from Hawaiian banks and a $5,000 ring from Costco. But wait, there’s more! This slippery fella already served a seven-year stretch in San Diego for racking up over $3 million in debt using his parents’ identities.
During his escapade, Adams even managed to charm a Navy veteran, Racquel Sabean, by posing as the dashing Paul Phillips. Together, they ventured south of the border with their baby girl, only for things to take a sinister turn. Sabean’s lifeless body was discovered in Tijuana, sparking a manhunt that would make Sherlock Holmes sweat.
The FBI, known for their less-than-subtle nicknames, pegged Adams as a “phony” and a “master of disguise” (move over, Sherlock). They claim he’s as sneaky as a fox and has more aliases than a secret agent. Seriously, he’s got more names than a phonebook! Aaron Lee, David Smith, Kevin Kennedy – the list goes on and on.
Sabean’s father, David, didn’t hold back, revealing that he suspected Adams from the get-go. He even bet his boots that Adams was behind his daughter’s demise. Surveillance footage allegedly caught Adams parking Sabean’s car at the scene of the crime.Mexican authorities are still making eyes at our suave crook, with some suspecting foul play in Sabean’s tragic end.
Not only is our man Tyler facing serious charges for grand theft and fraudulent shenanigans, he’s also got a hot date with the judge for skedaddling from custody out in Hawaii.
Tyler Adams, the “master of disguise,” isn’t slinking away from justice this time. With enough charges to make a lawyer’s head spin, this cowboy’s got a Texas-sized legal showdown on his hands.
