The Mysterious Burial of Dexter Wade: A Shocking Revelation

Dexter Wade, a 37-year-old man from Jackson, Mississippi, was struck and killed by an off-duty police officer in March, on the same day his mother last saw him. Despite the police knowing his whereabouts, they failed to inform his mother for over five months, during which she tirelessly searched for him. Wade was buried in a pauper's grave behind the local jail, and his mother is now demanding answers and an independent investigation into his death and how it was handled by the police. Lawyers for the family have criticized the lack of transparency and contradictory statements from officials. Activists and elected officials are calling for federal investigators to intervene.
