Was Adea Shabani dating anyone before her death?
Adea Shabani was dating Christopher Spotz at the time of her disappearance.
The pair had allegedly gotten into an argument on February 23, 2018, and Spotz claimed he dropped Adea Shabani off in Santa Clarita – about 25 miles from her apartment – according to the New York Times.
Spotz, however, was engaged to another woman at the same time he was dating Shabani, making him a person of interest to investigators.
“It appeared to be the case pretty early on that there was foul play involved in this case and that it was likely a homicide,” private investigator, Jayden Brant, told ABC News.
A month after her disappearance, police chased Spotz for 60 miles in San Bernardino, California.
He tried to avoid them in his Toyota Tacoma – the same car he had used back in February when Adea Shabani went missing.
Before getting caught, Spotz shot himself in the head.
