A Beautiful Cheerleader Goes Missing

Catching Evil

Show Notes

Stunning beauty queen, High School cheerleading coach and special needs teacher Beth Kenyon turned down a marriage proposal from Christopher Wilder after only a handful of casual dates. A few months later, the 23-year-old beauty queen winner vanished after being seen with him at a gas station on the way to a photo shoot he organised for her. Her body has never been found, and her younger brother Tim still struggles with the tragedy that has haunted him his entire adult life.

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.
