You 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.

    Sure, there's some enticing circumstantial evidence but there's no physical proof that Wilder was responsible.

    So how can you say he did it?
