Brandi Pahl, a spokeswoman for the department, said Wade was “found unconscious in his cell at the Indiana State Prison.”

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

The 44-year-old serial killer was transferred to an Indiana federal prison in 2014 after a deal with prosecutors got him out of Alaska.

Wade was originally convicted of two separate murders in 2000 and 2007.

But seven years after those initial convictions, he confessed to three additional murders dating back to 1994, when Wade was just 14, as part of a plea deal in exchange for a transfer to federal prison.

This included a murder he had previously been acquitted of in 2000, where he killed 33-year-old Alaska Native Della Brown.

Brown suffered from drug and alcohol abuse problems.

After trying to rob her, a fight ensued and he hit her head with a rock, killing her and leaving her half-naked body in a warehouse full of rubbish.

Later, he brought his friends to show them the body.

But despite this, Wade was acquitted of almost all charges, with the exception of tampering with evidence.

He received it, for which he was sentenced to six and a half years in prison, but was released on parole after just one year.

But in 2009, Wade was convicted of the carjacking and 2007 murder of Mindy Schloss, a 52-year-old nurse who was also his neighbor.

After supposedly having a bad day, he decided to try and rob the Schloss.

After breaking into her home, he used zip ties to restrain her and stole her ATM card and personal information before kidnapping her and driving to a secluded area of ​​the woods, where he shot her in the back of the head and killed her.

After shooting Schloss, he burned her body and left.

After failing to show up for work or return any calls, a friend reported Schloss missing.

After a month of searching, his burned body was found in September of that year.

Police now investigating a murder examined Schloss’s financial records and discovered that someone was actively withdrawing from his bank account.
