Adolphus HollingsworthA month before her disappearance, a witness testified Monday, Victoria Witherspoon Carr stood on her parents’ Duncan Avenue porch and listened to threats tossed out by her husband, Adolphus Hollingsworth.
Hollingsworth shouted at her from the window of his car, Orville Hughes said. He cruised past again and again, making U-turns at the end of the street and circling back again. His elderly mother was with him.
“It was like something out of the blue I’ve never seen before in my life,” Hughes, a family friend, testified Monday.
He told Carr he would hurt her, Hughes said. He told her he would kill her.
Carr, a mother of two, went missing in August 1997. Her body was found more than a year later. Police said she was stabbed to death.
