Wade will plead guilty to the carjacking that lead to the death of Mindy Schloss, and in a surprising turn of events,
he will also admit to the murder of Della Brown.
It seemed so clear to Brown's family that Wade killed her in 2000, but a jury wasn't so sure.
In 2003, Wade was found not guilty of Brown's murder.
"The bottom line here is that the prosecution just didn't prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt," Wade's attorney, Jim McComas, said at the time.
Wade got off for the brutal rape and murder which he now says he committed.

Joshua Wade
tearfully apologized in Anchorage courts Wednesday for murdering two Anchorage women in random acts of violence in 2000 and 2007.
For his confessions, Wade was
spared a potential death penalty had he been convicted in federal court.
-----------------------------------
In court Wednesday,
Wade hinted he might have more victims.
As Beistline was telling Wade he was "a heartless, selfish human being,"
Wade, with his eyes still watery from his confession, interrupted the judge:
"Don't push it, man. I don't give a f--- about you. Don't sit there and push it," Wade said.
"I'm going to push it," Beistline responded, and said something about Wade's targeting of women.
"What about the men?" Wade blurted.
"I don't know about the men you've killed," Beistline said.

In late June 2007, while Mindy Schloss was planning for her new practice, Wade was released from state probation. About one month after release from state supervision, and sometime around July 22, 2007, Wade moved into 6902 Cutty Sark, the house next door to Mindy Schloss. Wade's bedroom was directly opposite Schloss' home, and his window permitted observation into Schloss' kitchen.
------------------------
At some point during the early morning hours of August 4th, Wade invaded her home. Once inside, Wade bound Schloss, rendering her immobile. Wade left the residence, and returned, armed with the loaded .45 Glock and his collection of restraint and gagging devices. Wade zip tied her hands, gagged her mouth with the shop rag and secured the gag with painter's tape wrapped around her head. The government's investigation revealed that Wade admitted to others that he forced the PIN number out of Schloss in order to use her ATM debit card.
After restraining Schloss, Wade forced Schloss from her home and into her own car with the intent of taking her life. Wade drove Schloss, secured against her will in the back of her car, over an hour north of Anchorage toward Wasilla. During the ride out of town, Schloss lay in the back seat of her own vehicle, clothed in only a bath robe, with her arms and legs bound by zip ties. Wade ultimately drove Schloss to a wooded, undeveloped cul-de-sac approximately one quarter mile off of Knik-Goose Bay Road. Wade parked the car in the cul-de-sac and walked Schloss, still bound, off the cul-de-sac into the woods. There, Wade shot Schloss, execution style, with a single pistol shot to the back of her head from the Glock .45.
