Mindy Lorin Schloss, a 52-year-old psychiatric nurse practitioner, vanished from her Anchorage home on August 3, 2007, after failing to arrive for work in Fairbanks. Detectives found signs of intrusion at her house and that her red Acura Integra was missing. Financial records showed ATM withdrawals on her card and surveillance captured a man using it, a trail that led investigators to a next-door neighbor.

Human remains found six weeks later in woods off West Murray Road near Wasilla were identified by dental records as Schloss, and her death was ruled a homicide. Attention focused on neighbor Joshua Alan Wade, 27, who was arrested September 2, 2007, after links tied him to the stolen car and the ATM activity; Wade’s DNA was recovered from the victim’s vehicle and investigators found on his phone a photo of a handgun that matched the ballistics of the fatal round.

Prosecutors pursued both federal and state charges; in federal court Wade pleaded guilty in February 2010 to the carjacking and murder of Schloss and received life imprisonment, and state sentencing added a 99-year term. The case record describes Schloss being seized from her home by the man next door, forced to provide her bank card and PIN, driven north, and murdered. Does anyone have information about Schloss’s movements in Anchorage before August 3, 2007?
