There is no greater pain than that of a mother who loses her child — or whose child goes missing. Bettersten Wade has experienced both. Her 37-year-old son, Dexter Wade, disappeared on March 5 after visiting with her.

For months, the police in Mississippi told her they had no information on his whereabouts.
