Additional Details:

By late October, Wade was making plans to return home. But just days before his family was expecting him back in North Carolina, Wade disappeared. The initial account of Wade's disappearance centered on a note he was said to have left behind, suggesting he intended to be gone only briefly. Accounts of when and where Wade was last seen shifted, key stretches of time remained unexplained, and his loved ones were left trying to reconstruct his movements in a city where he had spent only a few months and had very few connections of his own. As his family and friends began trying to verify the story, they kept running into the same problem: so much of it depended on information they could not independently confirm. His loved ones uncovered inconsistencies surrounding Wade's belongings, new questions about his relationship with Tony, and messages that suggest Wade may have made other plans to get back to North Carolina. There were search dogs, cadaver dogs, and police officers who scoured the area. So far, investigators have had no luck finding answers. The police department had no updates since April of 2025, when they spoke with his mother and obtained more of his history.
