The Massachusetts State Police have featured a playing card concerning the unsolved murder of a Fall River man.
Vincent Wadlington, 25, was found stabbed to death on February 17, 2011, on railroad tracks in the area of Danforth Street, near the intersection of Durfee and Odd streets in Fall River.
Detectives said Wadlington was last seen about 10:00 p.m. on the night before his murder in the area of President Avenue and North Main Street.
The Massachusetts State Police, in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Correction and District Attorney’s Offices, have created a deck of cards featuring victims of unresolved homicides and missing persons. Each card in the deck, which seeks to generate leads to assist investigators in solving the crimes, features a photo of and information about a victim.
The State Police Unresolved Cases Unit spearheaded the playing cards project. Each participating District Attorney’s Office – which house State Police detective units that investigate homicides and other serious crimes in conjunction with local police in their county of jurisdiction – chose the victims on the cards. The Department of Correction, which funded the playing card decks, distributed them to state prison inmates in the hope they may have and share information about the crimes.
