County : Passaic

State : New Jersey

Agency : Passaic PD

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Drowning

Event :

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Thadius Wilder, a 35-year-old father of five from Passaic, was found drowned after last being seen running from police. His sister said that he was sitting on a bench at the Passaic public housing project on Aspen Place when two uniformed officers approached him with an arrest warrant for dealing drugs.
Wilder ran, apparently afraid of going back to prison. Police never searched the river nearby. Wilder’s sister found eyewitnesses who said he had “ended up in the water.” She told police who denied this possibility. Community members searched for him and saw his body floating in the river. The family had to notify police who had refused to search the river. His body was retrieved later but the family had been left to search for him without help from police.
