===Pre-Series===
Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Wade spent some time in Austin, Texas before she went up to Cambridge, Mass, to attend Harvard University.
At some point, she married a man named Reginald with the marriage turning abusive but Loretta managed to find the strength to leave him and presumably divorce him. 
However, she was working on a case at the time and was left emotionally affected with the outcome seeing Jack Gordon, the main suspect being sent to prison for twenty years.
She later flew down to New Orleans for a visit in 1997 but has never left, even saying she still has the return ticket.
In 1998, Loretta was working at the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office, serving as an assistant to Jared Wallace, the Medical Examiner in charge at time. She met Dwayne Cassius Pride, a Sheriff in Jefferson Parish with the two becoming close friends.
After Wallace presumably retired, Loretta became the official Medical Examiner and has continued to hold the post to this day.
