About this listen

On a clear, brisk night in September 2000, 33-year-old Della Brown was found sexually assaulted and beaten to death inside a filthy, abandoned shed in a seedy part of Anchorage, Alaska. She was one of six women, mostly Native Alaskan, slain that year, stoking fears a serial killer was on the loose. A tanned and thuggish 20-year-old would eventually implicate himself in three of the women's deaths and confess in detail to Della's murder.

Yet after a three-month trial, Joshua Wade would walk free. In 2007, when Wade kidnapped a well-loved nurse psychologist from her home and then executed her in the remote wilderness of Wasilla, two astute female detectives joined forces to finally bring him to justice.

Ice and Bone is the chilling true account of how a demented murderer initially evaded police and avoided conviction only to slip back into the shadows and kill again. Journalist and writer Monte Francis tells the harrowing story of what eventually led to Wade's capture and reveals why the true scope of his murderous rampage is only now, more than a decade later, coming into view.

Extremely detailed and verbatim quotes from various sources put the reader right in the mix of those dangerous days of locating and catching the killer.

There's no doubt, Wade was a burgeoning serial killer. Anyone who gets sexually excited while killing is on his way.

I do feel there is a very good chance Wade also killed the stranger/man who had been with Della Brown. Wade hints as much and this man has never come forward. There's every chance that body may also be found around Knik River/Wasilla area, similar to where Mindy Schloss's body was located.

If you have interest in this crime, I wholly recommend Ice and Bone.
