Think again.</p><br><p>If Ted Bundy sent shivers down your spine, brace yourself for Christopher Wilder – the serial killer who was even more cunning, even more hypnotic, and whose reign of terror is far from over.</p><p>He was the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing: tall, handsome, seemingly respectable – the Australian-born son of an American war hero. Behind this polished exterior lurked a ruthless predator. For 20 years, this wealthy businessman and race car driver stalked America's most beautiful women. Someone's daughter. Someone's sister. Girls who never made it home.</p><br><p>Now we're finding them.<strong> </strong>Catching Evil is an explosive eight-year field investigation spanning two continents that refuses to stay buried in the 1980s. This isn't just another cold case podcast – <strong>this is a live investigation</strong>.

The Friday the Thirteenth Reckoning

<p><br></p><p>Serial killer Christopher Wilder was ten minutes from the Canadian border. If the passenger door of his stolen car had been unlocked, he would have made it.</p><p> </p><p>This is the inside story of Friday the 13th, 1984 — the day the biggest manhunt in American history ended on the forecourt of a small-town gas station, and the two off-duty troopers who did what the FBI couldn't.</p><p> We walk the road he drove. We stand on the spot where he died. We talk to the photographer who captured it all.</p><p> </p><p>The day Christopher Wilder died, the families of the women he took thought they would finally get their answers.</p><p> </p><p>They didn't. </p><br><p>The chase ended that afternoon. The story didn't. And what we have uncovered since is about to change everything.</p><br><p><strong>Contact us</strong> if you have had an encounter with Christopher Wilder or have information about him or any of his crimes: <a href="mailto:info@catchingevil.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>info@catchingevil.com</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>Follow us:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/</a></p><br><p>Facebook:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611</a></p><br><p>TikTok:<strong> </strong><a href="https://tiktok.com/@catchingevil?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExak8yZjc1T3FNanRKYW5BNXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6bmY4G0h-190k7kVCVMdocs6Q3tsmqOUiwgQx9BzBohRB_tIj2owPaKQ9uOg_aem_PRsGxGfgRs7bmxRrF98QiA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@catchingevil</a></p><br><p>Website: <a href="https://open.acast.com/networks/69051e823906f8011ad75706/shows/6905313ae3d5a231c1540708/episodes/CatchingEvilBlog" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.catchingevil.com/post/the-mystery-of-tina-risico-the-stunning-courage-of-dawnette-wilt</a></p><p><br></p><h4>Join us and support these not-for<strong>-profits</strong>:</h4><p><strong>US&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Survivors of Homicide Inc - <a href="https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/</a></p><p>Yesterday Today Tomorrow Women Inc - <a href="https://www.yttwomen.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.yttwomen.org/</a></p><p><strong>Aus</strong></p><p>Mary’s House 1800 002 111 <a href="https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/</a></p><br><p><strong>Credits:</strong></p><br><p><strong>Hosts</strong></p><p>Andy Byrne&nbsp;</p><p>Mark Llewellyn</p><br><p><strong>Audio Production</strong></p><p>Sam Blacker - The Podcast Butler</p><br><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p><strong>The Pretty Girl Killer</strong>&nbsp;by Andrew Byrne - courtesy of Penguin Random House</p><br><p>Thanks to<strong> Pro Podcast Studios</strong>, Sydney</p><br><p><strong>Catching Evil</strong> is hosted on Acast.
