  • Not too sure about assumptions

    Was put off but the hosts stating Wilder was the offender behind the unsolved Wanda Beach murders without any real evidence to support it.

  • Wilder wasn’t at Wanda

    Honestly screw you guys for trying to to write theories as facts. It’s now reported in the media it is wilder when it certainly wasn’t. That wasn’t his M.O like you don’t start super butcher then as you progress your crimes are less violent. Never happens.

  • Detailed, engaging

    When is the next episode? This podcast is told by dual narrators, and includes content from their respective book and documentary on Christopher Wilder, which makes it rich storytelling. Wilder is a nasty piece of work, beaten by his father, and with a domineering mother. I don’t think you’ll find any other podcast with the details and insight into the killer and his victims as this one.
