Catching Evil
Andy Byrne & Mark LlewellynYou think you know evil? Think again.
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.
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 lurke... more

- Hit and miss
The hosts are a bit inarticulate and their “journalism” is interesting.
In episode 22 they kept saying wilder had a “dual passport” (it’s “dual citizenship” or “two passportsL)
They also make crazy claims. In episode 22 the Aussie host says “wilder experienced a childhood that definitely creates a serial killers”
So now they are psychologists.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Pure Evil! But why? So many questions now!
OMG! WTH? I’ve never even heard of this bloke (or should I say, poor excuse of a human!?). To be so touched by evil…
Was it his father? His mother? What was he like as a child for things to escalate to electric shock therapy? Plenty of kids are “weird” — so what made him this?
What about his brother? I’d love to hear his perspective. If one was being beaten, was the other too? What did he witness?
So many questions!
Will you be doing another on the 9 days of terror endured by Tina?
And Andy... more
