HUDSON - Police today confirmed that Valentine G. Wadman is the homicide victim found Sunday morning along the railroad tracks.
Wadman, 52, was a dishwasher who often drank away his paycheck, and who did not have a steady home, according to acquaintances. He may have been living in the wooded area where his body was found along the CSX railroad tracks near South 7th and Union Streets.
Wadman died from a brain laceration caused by a skull fracture, Columbia County Coroner Angelo Nero said. Police have ruled his death a homicide and are conducting interviews of those who knew him, Hudson Police Lt. Richard Paolino said.

left Cascades and took a cooking gig at an upscale Italian joint on lower Warren and fell out of touch with Val. The week before I had left Cascades, I began walking with him toward the Warren Inn for our nightly ritual of beer and pool but after a few steps he turned and put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Not tonight pal…you don’t want to go where I’m going tonight.” It was the last time I saw him alive, meaning the first time I saw him dead was on the front page of The Register Star, in a photo of the police wheeling a gurney over the rail road tracks behind 7th and Union streets. It was reported that he was killed by blunt force trauma to the head. That was three years ago, and as of this writing, the murderer[s] of Valentine Wadman Jr. remains at large in the new Hampton’s. ..Source.. 1-13-2010
