They found him nearby in his vehicle with an adult male and female.

Was he with a hermaphrodite, or was he with two adults? Doesn't anyone proofread anymore? I would have said he "They found him nearby in his vehicle with an adult male and and an adult female."

The last I knew, an “adult male” is called a “man”, and an “adult female” is called a “woman” — assuming they’re human.

Maybe it’s written this way because he was in the vehicle with a couple of non-human animals. Dogs? Cats? Hamsters?

I agree with you. Editing and proofreading have gone out of fashion.
