Show Notes
She survived serial killer Christopher Wilder at eleven years old — but the real fight came after. For thirty years, Kristine buried it. No answers, no justice, just a narrative handed to her by a system that looked away. Then she started digging — and what she uncovered made her physically sick. Bodies on Wilder's property. A girl murdered just three days after her own abduction. And one devastating question that has never left her: did he kill her because he couldn't kill me?
In this raw, emotional episode, the Catching Evil team flies to America to meet Kristine face to face. At fifty, she is finally stripping away decades of shame and reclaiming who she really is — and watching her do it is extraordinary. Her husband sits to one side, tears streaming, as she describes waking up mid-life and realising she'd been living someone else's story. The girl who outsmarted a serial killer at eleven is learning, at last, to see herself as a warrior.
And she's not done. Kristine believes Wilder had far more victims than the world knows — women with no names, no justice, no voice. She intends to change that. For them. For her granddaughter. And for every woman still carrying a story she's been told to forget. This one will stay with you

No one should be in a grave without a name. This is the finale — and it is full of breaking news. A listener tip connects Wilder to the Tyre Murders: dozens of young women lured from car parks across five states, years before anyone was counting. We name five new victims. We reveal the pattern hidden in 3,500 classified ads — every gap, a girl. And Ellery Jane Doe, murdered and nameless for decades, may be about to get her name back. The official count said nine. The evidence now says Bundy territory — and beyond. We end the only way we could: with every victim, name by name. Every one of them was a person. Every one of them was loved. Follow the show — because this isn't over. It's unfinished business.
Mindy was four when her mother was taken. She still can't remember her voice. This is the episode we promised at the beginning: every one of Christopher Wilder's victims, finally heard. A reckoning. New evidence. New witnesses. Cold cases live again, police forces are now working leads we uncovered.
Two girls named Mary. The same mall. Four weeks apart. One found stabbed in a ditch — the other still missing, forty years on.
A killer who confessed to eleven murders. A sixteen-year-old runaway with a modelling dream. And a sister who never stopped fighting to bring her home.
A serial killer who confessed to 11 murders. A body that lay nameless in a swamp for 30 years. And a chilling new discovery.
