ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A serial killer who admitted he was responsible for the deaths of five Alaska ns, including committing the first when he was only 14, has died in an Indiana prison, officials said.
In 2000, Wade was charged with killing Della Brown by striking her in the head with a large rock. Her body was later found in a shed. However, a jury convicted him only of witness tampering and acquitted him on murder and sexual assault charges.Missouri attorney general says not so fast on freeing woman jailed for 43 years in 1980 killing
Wade was sentenced in separate proceedings Feb. 17, 2010, in state and federal court. At both appearances, he apologized for his crimes. “What an evil thing you’ve done,” Beistline said. “What kind of person could take pleasure in the random destruction of another life?”At that point, Wade told the judge in an angry voice, “Don’t push it, man.”Beistline said Wade’s angry outburst was “very revealing” and said that type of anger could have been one of the last things Schloss experienced, and underscores what a danger Wade would be if free.
