Independent Pathologist Discovers Wallet with Dexter Wade’s Identification Card in Newly Exhumed Body
In a shocking turn of events, an independent pathologist examining the exhumed body of Dexter Wade, the Mississippi man who was killed by police and buried in a pauper’s grave without his mother’s knowledge, has made a startling discovery.
The pathologist, Frank Peretti, found a wallet in the front pocket of Wade’s jeans during the examination. The wallet contained Wade’s state identification card, which included the address of the home he shared with his mother, as well as a credit card and a health insurance card.
This revelation was shared by attorney Ben Crump, who arranged for the independent autopsy and expressed his dismay at the findings. The family’s lawyer reported Peretti’s initial findings, stating that NBC News has not yet seen the full autopsy report.
It has been confirmed by a representative of Crump’s that the home address found on the identification card belongs to Wade’s mother, Bettersten Wade. She reported him missing nine days after he was struck by a police cruiser while crossing a highway, but did not receive any information from the police until several months later.
The Hinds County coroner’s office has also raised questions about the handling of Dexter Wade’s case, stating that they had confirmed his identity shortly after his death and attempted to contact his mother, but received no response. This, along with the discovery of the identification card in his wallet, has raised concerns about why authorities did not visit Wade’s home before burying him in the pauper’s field.
Bettersten Wade expressed her frustration, calling the latest news “another jab in the stomach” and questioning why authorities did not use the information from the wallet to notify her and allow her to see her son one last time.
Attorney Ben Crump condemned the handling of the case, stating, “The tragic news we received from the independent pathologist today was heartbreaking for everyone who knew and cared for Dexter Wade, especially his mother. The fact that Dexter had a state identification card and several other identifying items shows us that there was a concerted effort to keep the truth and manner of his death from his family. There is no excuse, not even incompetence, for not notifying a next of kin of an identified man’s death.”
These latest developments have added a new layer of complexity to the case of Dexter Wade’s tragic death, raising serious questions about the conduct of authorities and the lack of transparency in the investigation.
