According to the Bartlesville Police Department, on July 23, Adams allegedly deposited and withdrew another $340 at the same ATM. Authorities allegedly found obituaries for both names on the check.

On July 28, Adams allegedly deposited another $400 at the same ATM. The account that was allegedly associated with the check was closed.
