Christopher Wilder presented himself as a successful businessman, amateur race car driver and photographer. But behind that image was a pattern of approaching young women with supposed modeling opportunities at shopping malls, beauty contests and other public places.
In 1984, investigators began connecting Wilder to cases involving missing women across several states, triggering a nationwide search. As authorities followed his movements, they uncovered evidence that revealed a very different side to the life he publicly presented.
In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine Christopher Wilder's background, the methods he used to approach young women, the investigation that followed him across the United States, and the testimony that helped authorities track his movements.
We also explore the unanswered questions that remain decades later, including several missing-person cases and a possible connection to Australia's Wanda Beach case that has never been established.
