This is so unnecessary why oh why do these little creeps think it is ok to harm someone else? What are we not teaching correctly? I pray she is found quickly so her loved ones can at least have that peace.
 
"On the evening of April 6, 2005, Josh held me against the bathroom closet door, using his fist punching the door, leaving 2 holes," Ruth E. Andrews wrote in papers asking for the protective order.
Andrews, who was 42 at the time, 17 years older than Wade, claimed Wade broke her phone, stole things from her and destroyed property.
The court ordered him to stay away from her for 20 days. Four days after filing the petition, however, she told the court Wade was out of her life and that his personal items had been removed from her house.
"He is not a threat to me," she wrote.
Four months later, Wade and Andrews applied for a marriage license, according to public records. Attempts to reach Andrews on Thursday were unsuccessful.
In early February this year, Wade got a job as a dish washer and janitor at The Bradley House, a restaurant on Old Seward Highway. He did his work well enough, owner Bernadette Bradley said Thursday.

I know someone who works at The Bradley House. I'm glad he's been gone from there for a while. Sounds like Ruth Andrews is a very lucky women. I hope they find him soon, he could be getting desperate.
 
About 10:30 we heard some idiot came squealing around the corner onto our dead end, dirt road. The only people that come down here are us and our two neighbors so we were both like WTF. Mike got up to look and saw a car parked by the woods across the street. Mike, being suspicious went downstairs to see what was going on (occasional parkers or pot smokers there) and then these cop cars come careening around the corner. A couple of minutes later more show up - with a tracking dog - his first act was to pee on my planter and then off they all went into the woods. Its now an hour later and they have not returned. The woods are pretty hard to navigate in the daytime, with marsh and standing water, and bushwacking type trails that cute over to the off leash dog park. The other direction he could have gone would have bene through Mr Scotts yard, and through some other yards and through the neighborhood (would be smarter in the dark with no flashlight). More cop cars have arrived - at most we had seven . I think there are five or six now.

Obviously, not just a drunk driver. We're hoping/not hoping its Wade. Dont' really need him that close to my house, but really want him caught.

Hope they catch him whomever he is.
 
Oh wow! That's almost too much excitement! Oh I hope its him yet hope its just some non dangerous something else. lol at the dog :)
 
That's exciting Beth. I hope if he's hiding out near your house that they catch him soon!

One of Wade's roommates, up until Wade went underground, was Shane Phillips.

Phillips was one of two young men police questioned the day they served a search warrant at his home.

During that search, a jacket believed to belong to Wade was found with a receipt from one of the transactions where money was taken out of Schloss' account, according to court documents.

With the investigation into Schloss' disappearance, what happened to her, and who is responsible intensifying, Phillips has hired an attorney.

According to that attorney, Rex Butler, Wade only lived in the house for a few weeks, and Phillips did not know him very well.

Wade’s father makes plea to his son

Two parents make separate pleas, both with the same intent. They want to see Joshua Wade in police custody.

Wade is wanted for bank fraud and for questioning in the disappearance of Anchorage nurse Mindy Schloss.

Today, Wade's father asked his son to turn himself in and the mother of the woman Wade was once accused of killing wants help from the public to find him.

Reward money, tips fail to help police find Wade

Police have combed Anchorage for days responding to more than 50 tips about Joshua Wade, the "person of interest" they want to question in the early August disappearance of nurse Mindy Schloss.

Federal agents have offered a $2,500 reward for Wade, who faces bank fraud charges, while the police Crime Stoppers program is offering $1,000.

Friends of Schloss have also put up $5,000 to find the body of the 52-year-old nurse, and are trying to collect more money to increase that reward.

No word on what the hoopla was last night - I'll assume it was unrelated.
 
Still, she said, their lives together were not so different from other couples. "We had a very normal relationship, whatever normal is, until we had our outbursts," she said.

This woman is living the life of every abused woman in every country. Total denial about her abuse and her abuser!! It doesn't surprise me she is backing him and probably will til the end. Very sad. Especially sad because she could have been his mental "target" instead of this sweet, caring nurse!

I found an old article from when Wade was acquitted in the earlier case:

I would love to see a transcript of this trial and to find out what evidence was presented to the jury. It sounds like some pertinent evidence must have been tossed by the judge leaving the prosecution open to an acquittal. This drives me crazy! For Gosh sakes...why can't they just tell the truth in court anymore instead of having the perp's rights come first?! GRRRR!

You still haven't called LE to ask?! My, what patience you have! I call when there is a helicopter buzzing my house and they just tell me to stay inside...until I tell them I am going outside with my gun just to be sure...then they give me a darn good reason for shining their light in my backyard and rattling the art off my walls! >wink<
 
Joshua Wade surrendered to authorities in an East Anchorage apartment late this morning, and was taken into custody in connection with the disappearance of missing nurse Mindy Schloss.

Wade was escorted by officers from an apartment building on East 43rd Ave., around 11:40 a.m. The building is just north of Tudor Road between the Alaska Native Medical Center and the Alaska Club, within a couple blocks of Anchorage police headquarters.

He was put in a patrol car and driven off.

The Anchorage police are notoriously closed mouthed. I'm sure they have plenty of information.
 
does the "he's so normal" stuff make me really uneasy? I mean if he was a guy who robbed Schloss and it got out of hand i wouldn't think everyone would say how normal he is.

I think he IS a serial killer. We will see.

Human remains found at Russian Jack school




Although no information about the gender or age of the remains is yet known, they do not belong to any student attending school today, according to the Anchorage School District.
"All students are safe and secure," said Heidi Embley, a school district spokeswoman.
The school day will continue as normal, with no schedule disruptions, school officials said.

SS: I'm sure you're on a list somewhere, along with me.....

BethInAK: Thanks for the great updates. This guy initially sounds too unclever to be a successful SK; face on the camera, receipt in the clothes and DNA in the car. Copycat maybe or related only by circumstance??
