In October 2019, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz each made innocent choices that would lead to the end of their lives.

Kristine and a friend, Stephanie, went to a bar to listen to live music. At the venue, they met Wade Wilson. Stephanie described Wade as ‘friendly and charming.’ Kristine and Wade went back to Kristine’s where Wade strangled Kristine in her bed. He then stole her vehicle and fled the scene. 

Later that day, while driving the stolen car, Wade approached Diane who was walking to work. He asked her for directions and he enticed her into the vehicle. He then beat and strangled Diane before pushing her out of the car and running her over until she looked like ‘spaghetti.’ 

Wade is now facing the death penalty for the murders and is due to be sentenced.
