In our second segment you heard from Mary Beth Wade complaining that she was now a suspect in her own husband Tanga James' death.

But, that's not her only complaint. She says the large gold rings that he was wearing when he was shot have been stolen - rings that she had bought for him. Mary Beth claims they went missing somewhere between the murder scene and the morgue.

And this evening the woman who just a few days ago looked death squarely in the face stood confused trying to recover the last gifts that she exchanged with the man she loved:

Mary-Beth Wade - Former Partner of Joseph Winston James
"The first issue I have with the police department was when me and the body showed up at the hospital, and they took me out, I didn't want to leave him. They told Mary-Beth your bleeding a lot we have to take you out I told them no I don't want to leave him. The moment they moved me fro beside him and took me inside one of his rings was missing off of his finger he had three rings, one is missing. I bought over five or six, six rings I bought but he only had on three that day because he went to court and when he goes to court he doesn't wear a lot of jewelry or whatever, you understand. My mom came in there and she said she got his phone and stuff like that, so I asked her, did you get his jewelry, his earrings, and his rings and stuff like that, because he didn't have a chain or anything just three rings. So, she said I didn't get three rings I got two rings. So, how when they took off my jewelry in the theater room thingy none of my jewelry is missing how is his jewelry missing off of his dead body, my mom only got two rings the biggest one is gone, you understand. That is the second mess up with the police back he got out of the truck too."

Wade hasn't been charged with any offenses in connection to Winston James's death.

A funeral for Winston "Tanga" James is planned for Saturday, January 2022.
