A close friend of a mom of four and exotic French bulldog breeder who was mysteriously found dead in North Carolina’s woods in mid-July says she suspects foul play and homicide, as the two were expected to meet up but Alba Jo Doreen Wade never arrived. Yet since the tragic discovery was made, there have been no arrests and no official confirmation of how the 32-year-old died.
On the evening of July 16, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office said, Wade was found dead “in a wooded area off Colonial Landing in Bolivia” after she was reported missing.
More than a dozen entities, including multiple fire departments and sheriff’s offices, joined in the search; photos showed a helicopter flying above the woods and four-wheelers on the ground.
Brunswick investigators did not say anything about whether they believed Wade was killed, only that she was “deceased” and that a probe of her death was “open” and “ongoing.” At the same time, they stated there was “no danger to the public.”
