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.

4.6 out of 5 stars from 313 ratings
  • Hosts shouldn't have worn short sleeves.

    I'd love to be able to give this a higher rating. I enjoy the content and the story of Wilder. However theories aren't facts, the hosts constantly use objectifying language for women, the victims are often seemingly chastised or blamed for what they were wearing or where they were. The tone is also really off, feels very uncomfortable at times.

  • True nightmare fuel

    This reminds me of the Rodney Alcala case-Wilder left Sydney in late 60’s-god knows how many other American victims killed during the 1970’s-glad this case is getting more attention-hopefully more families will find out the truth so they can even start the proper grieving process. Hope he’s burning in hell with Rodney and Ted.
