Associated Press, Spectrum: Alaska serial killer who admitted to killing five people has died in an Indiana prison
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska serial killer who admitted that he killed five people, including one when he was only 14, has died in an Indiana prison, officials said.

Joshua Wade, 44, was found unresponsive in his cell June 14, Brandi Pahl, a spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Correction, said in an email Friday.

“Despite life-saving measures being performed, he was pronounced dead,” she said.

An autopsy was to be performed after Wade died at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, Indiana, to determine the cause of death. An email sent to the La Porte County, Indiana, coroner was not immediately returned Friday.

Wade was convicted of state and federal crimes in 2010. He was serving his term at Spring Creek Correctional Center, a maximum-security prison in Seward, Alaska. Four years later, he struck a deal to be moved to a federal prison in Indiana in exchange for admitting to additional killings.

Detla Wind: Delta pauses to remember

 
 
 
 
By Ammon Swenson, Alaska Public Media: Discussing ‘The Queen of Fairbanks’ with author Tricia Brown | State of Art
When first meeting Irene Sherman, there’s no doubt that she would have left a lasting impression. She would dress in heavy layers of assorted clothing, riding her adult tricycle around town with a beer stein tied to her waist. Irene was well-known around Fairbanks and could be seen taking part in parades as she confidently waved like a monarch. While she wasn’t quite homeless and maintained her independence, she lived rough and members of the community would help her out. Her past life was a mystery to even those who knew her—especially how she came to be covered in extensive burn scars or the other tragedies she experienced.

In her new book, “The Queen of Fairbanks: Extraordinary Family Secrets and Untold Stories of America’s Farthest North Bag Lady,” author Tricia Brown combines her journalistic approach to uncovering truth with personal reflections about her own experiences with Sherman. Brown tells us about Sherman’s legacy, tragedies and uncovered mysteries.
