The Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy failed to follow up on allegations that Wade Wilson, convicted of the 2019 Cape Coral murders, had beaten a woman. A Lee County jury recommended the death penalty for Wilson in the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz. Wilson was investigated in connection with an incident in February of that year but was not arrested due to lack of probable cause. The victim reported that Wilson had choked her, demanded money, and blindfolded her with a pocket knife. Wilson’s sentencing is set for July 23, with pending cases related to jail escape and drug trafficking.

Additional Details on Wade Wilson’s Case

In a recent development in the case of convicted killer Wade Wilson, a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy failed to act on allegations that Wilson had assaulted a woman prior to the 2019 murders in Cape Coral. The incident in question took place in February of that year, where Wilson was accused of beating and choking the victim during an argument over his decision not to go to rehab.

The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, reported that Wilson became violent when she refused to pawn her laptop for money. He allegedly choked her, causing bruising around her neck, and proceeded to assault her further by striking her and blindfolding her with a pocket knife.

Escalation of the Situation

Wilson then drove the victim for about two hours, during which he sold her phone without her consent. He proceeded to tie her hands and feet with a belt and attempted to suffocate her with a plastic bag. When his attempts failed, he resorted to physical violence.

After apologizing to the victim and allowing her to use a restroom at a gas station in Key Largo, Wilson left the scene in a separate vehicle, leaving the victim to seek help from authorities.

Police Investigation and Legal Proceedings

Upon responding to the victim’s call, deputies collected evidence from the scene, including clothing items and a plastic bag. Despite the victim’s detailed account of the incident, authorities did not find enough evidence to make an arrest.

Subsequent interviews and investigations led to Wilson’s admission of the encounter but with differing details. He claimed to have met the victim at a gas station and left her unharmed, contradicting the victim’s report of being assaulted and bound.

Legal Ramifications and Future Steps

With Wilson’s sentencing scheduled for July 23, the legal proceedings are set to determine the final fate of the convicted killer. Wilson’s legal team has filed a motion for a new trial or acquittal on the charges brought against him, further complicating the case.

Additionally, Wilson faces pending charges related to a jail escape attempt and drug trafficking while in custody, adding layers of complexity to an already convoluted legal battle.
