Hi everyone, I'm Talia and I'm
Tanya, and together we are Crimes and

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:35.439
Consequences, a true crime podcast.
Hi Tania, Hi Talia, how are

00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:43.840
you? I'm doing decent today?
About I suppose so good? I could

6
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.640
find something? Yeah, there's yeah, there's always something I could complain about

7
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.799
my throat because I'm still sound like
I don't know a frog. I don't

8
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.600
know, like I had a lot
of cigarettes and last night but I didn't.

9
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.079
Are you ready for this week's episode? Damn? This story I was

10
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.159
particularly fond of, but I never
did it. I put it off for

11
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.879
years, and now we're gonna do
it today. We're gonna do it.

12
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.799
But before we do it, I'm
gonna ask everybody hit the subscribe slash follow

13
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.519
button on your favorite app, whatever
one you're listening to us on, and

14
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.599
just ask you guys forgive me for
my voice because it is kind of hard

15
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.879
to talk. And then I'm gonna
start, all right, let's go.

16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.040
You got something else? Ad I
know? Okay, I'm good. So

17
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.920
this is about Christopher Wilder, and
I told you about him like a couple

18
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.400
of years ago. I read two
books on him. He's got the Moniker

19
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:40.120
of Beauty Queen Killer. It was
a seven week time span when he hunted,

20
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.719
captured, tortured, and killed eight
different women across the United States.

21
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.560
But many of you might know about
him because when I did that one episode

22
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.120
of the Wanda Beach Murders, it
was an Australian one, right, Yes,

23
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.439
yes, Christopher Wilder lived near there
at the time, and so some

24
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.519
people think that was an unsolved case, that maybe he had something to do

25
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.400
with it. Maybe maybe I don't
know. I haven't solved it yet.

26
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.400
It's on my list. Even though
we know he killed eight different women,

27
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.039
there's a lot of stuff we don't
know, and he took those secrets with

28
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.000
him because he died before anything could
really be revealed. Summer. Yeah,

29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.319
but we know a lot, Okay, okay, But when you know a

30
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.360
lot, and there's a lot of
shit to know, there's a lot of

31
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.319
shit you don't know when someone dies. Let me just give you a little

32
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.360
background. Christopher Wylder was born in
March thirteenth, nineteen forty five and Sydney

33
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.719
Australia. His father was an American
naval officer and his mother was Australian.

34
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.479
He almost died at birth, but
he ended up recovering. And then he

35
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.360
almost drowned in the swimming pool when
he was two. Oh my gosh.

36
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.680
His childhood was stable. He came
from a good family. That is one

37
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.240
thing that I know. He came
from a good family. But he was

38
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.039
like a weirdo from a young age. I'm just being honest with everybody.

39
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.759
He did window peaking, oh geez. And his adolescence. He had blonde

40
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.319
hair, he was blue eyed,
he was charming. He seemed not threatening,

41
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.319
but that wasn't even close to who
he really was. One of the

42
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.599
first big things that is noted in
Chris's history as at a young age he

43
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:32.000
demonstrated signs of sexual abyrance. He
was involved in this gang rape on a

44
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.159
sea beach at the age of seventeen. Seriously, it was one of those

45
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.960
situations where he's at a beach,
he's a good looking he's with his friends,

46
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.560
there's these girls. There was an
incident that happened with the girl,

47
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.000
and he told the girl that if
she had sex with him, he'd protect

48
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.719
her from the other teenagers who were
holding her captive, promising he wouldn't let

49
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.719
anybody bother her, and she was
really desperate, so she agreed, and

50
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.400
then he laughed because he broke his
word. He raped her, and he

51
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.840
had some friends. It was really
his friends that were there with him,

52
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.240
and they say he was the leader
of it. Really, So there's different

53
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.840
versions of how this went down,
but in the end he pled guilty and

54
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.560
got a year of probation. Seriously, a year probabrobation. So basically,

55
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.160
you had a girl in a car
that got raped at the beach. He

56
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.600
had to go to counseling. During
his counseling sessions, his therapist learned that

57
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.519
he had some really disturbing fantasies of
rape. Yeah, I'm not surprised.

58
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:39.959
So he was given electric shock treatments. What absolutely, oh god, oh

59
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.759
my god. I was back in
the day, the sixties. Right,

60
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.639
It was just an attempt to help
him refocus his energy. Yeah, you

61
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.319
know, nothing like an electric shock
therapy to help you refocus. What the

62
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.439
fuck? He seemed normal on the
surface, That's what I was telling you,

63
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.160
Right, he's a good looking guy. He's hanging out of the beach.

64
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.519
He liked to serve, but he
had really dark thoughts when it came

65
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.600
to women, and he had OCD. He would wash his hands until they

66
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.319
were raw. He would drink gallons
of water each day, like he was

67
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.759
cleansing himself from the inside and out. He's a little bit weird. Yeah.

68
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.160
In nineteen sixty eight, he was
twenty three years old and they got

69
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.600
married. So almost immediately, his
new wife found a pair of another woman's

70
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:30.759
underwear and pornographic photos in his car. Oh boy. She also accused him

71
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.040
of sexually abusing her, raping her, and claimed he tried to kill her

72
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.560
and that marriage did not last but
a couple of weeks. Yeah, no,

73
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.319
shit, right. I mean,
if you're finding that stuff the first

74
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.720
week, a couple of weeks you're
married, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

75
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.120
it probably doesn't lean to a happy
mayor. Now. I can't imagine.

76
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.240
The next year, twenty four year
old Chris emigrated to the US because I

77
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.639
remember he's also a US citizen his
dad who was from the US, and

78
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.720
he moved to Boynton Beach, Laura, Oh sounds nice. He made a

79
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:08.600
fortune in construction. He developed a
construction company and started doing real estate.

80
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.959
He made a lot like he was
a very successful businessman. He purchased a

81
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.600
customized Porsche ninety one one nice and
he raised it. He had a speedboat

82
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.920
and a really nice bachelor pad,
like he is living it up. Yeah,

83
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.439
So why are you going to be
such a fucking weirdo? Right right?

84
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.160
I don't know. I don't know. There's always some girl that's gonna

85
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.319
latch onto it, right guy.
Of course, beautiful girls, because it's

86
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.120
about power, yeah, that's true, and control and control. He also

87
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.360
took an interest in photography, and
he bought really expensive, high end cameras.

88
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.560
This was a hobby of his,
but it was really just a way

89
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:49.360
to laura beautiful women back to his
home and take pictures of them. Gross

90
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.439
creepy. Yes. I remember being
at a mall and having some old,

91
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.879
creepy guy tell me that I should
be a model and he had a camera

92
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.600
on why yeah, go back to
him place, and I'm like, no,

93
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.240
oh, I didn't fall for the
ship. Yeah. Chris bend his

94
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:11.879
time prowling South Florida beaches in search
of women he could solicit. In nineteen

95
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.399
seventy one, and keep in mind, he's twenty six, he was arrested

96
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.160
on Pompano Beach for demanding that two
young women pose nude for him. Now,

97
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.120
remember what I was talking about,
the Wanda Beach murders. There were

98
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:30.279
a couple guys that were approaching them
and stuff, and that's why they think

99
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.720
that. You know, he lived
in that same area at the same time,

100
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:40.040
and he'd already raped somebody, so
maybe maybe I don't know. In

101
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.720
nineteen seventy four, now he's twenty
nine, he convinced a girl to come

102
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.920
back to his house under the promise
that she would get a modeling contract.

103
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.079
Oh no, Instead he drugged him
raped her. But he didn't do any

104
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.240
prison time for any of these crimes. Believe it or not, he always

105
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.839
seemed to get away with it without
any consequences. Chris' actions only became more

106
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.680
sordid. In nineteen eighty two,
he was visiting his parents in Sydney,

107
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.120
and now he's thirty seven, so
who knows what the fuck he did In

108
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.680
between? He adopted two fifteen year
old girls, forced them to get naked,

109
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.240
took pornographic photos of them. He
ended up getting arrested and charged with

110
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.319
kidnapping and sexual assault, but Australian
authorities released him on three hundred and seventy

111
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:35.240
six thousand dollars in American dollars bail
and his parents posted the bond. He

112
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.799
left Australia. Guess what he didn't. He just like, fuck, I'm

113
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.759
out of here, and he went
back to Florida. He promised his parents,

114
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.480
I will return for that trial.
I really will. Well, you're

115
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.879
not gonna lose all that money,
fike, And that was scheduled for April

116
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.519
of nineteen eighty four. When Chris
was back in Florida, he continued being

117
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.200
successful. Just looking at Chris from
the outside, you'd see the single man

118
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.519
that women would find attractive. He
owned his own home now, he hit

119
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.720
a swimming pool, a thriving business, and raced cars with a boat.

120
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.639
He's good, you know, it
seems like his guy ball. Yeah.

121
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.559
I mean some people think he's good
looking. I don't. I don't think

122
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.799
it's good looking. But that's fine. He's six feet tall with this mustache.

123
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.519
It's very well trimmed. But there
was something that turned women off about

124
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.399
Chris because you're like, what's the
problem. You were saying earlier, what's

125
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.039
the problem, because it's fucking weird. Yeah, because lots of them wanted

126
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.720
to be his friend. But really
not many wanted to go on dates with

127
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.480
him. Maybe they wanted to use
his boat, maybe riding that fast car,

128
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.960
maybe swimming with his pool. Yeah, they didn't want to kiss them.

129
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.440
They didn't want to date in no, because he's creepy. Maybe it

130
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.120
was a six months or a good
feeling. I don't know that he was

131
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.399
a little dangerous. But he finally
met a woman that he saw completely perfect

132
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.799
for him. Her name was Beth
Canyon, and she was twenty one and

133
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:00.279
he's went thirty something. Yes,
he's thirty seven. Oh boy. She

134
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.720
met him at the Miss Florida Beauty
pageant. Oh Chris introduced himself as a

135
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.799
professional photographers. He had an expensive
came around his neck and he was taking

136
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.639
pictures of all the contestants. But
Beth and Chris were never really a couple,

137
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.080
at least not the way he had
hoped it would be. For one

138
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.480
thing, she's sixteen years younger than
him, and she was already dating a

139
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.440
lot of other guys. She considered
him to be really just a friend,

140
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.679
but he he didn't see it that
way. You know, that's where he's

141
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.480
the weirdo part. That's the weirdo
part. He was infatuated with Beth.

142
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.480
He asked Beth to marry him.
Wow, and they'd only known each other

143
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.480
briefly at the time. She didn't
realize when she told him no, like

144
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.399
this would really devastate him, because
she's thinking to herself, I barely know

145
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.600
that I'm dating other people. Yeah, she's got a normal furea old guy

146
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.720
with a receding hairline. Like okay, like nothing. No. Beth continued

147
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.840
to be friends with Chris, and
she did try him as a friend.

148
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.960
She was totally oblivious to the fact
he was obsessed with her, even though

149
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.799
he did ask her to marry him. Yeah. I think she thought he

150
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.039
got over it. At the age
of thirty nine, Chris arranged to race

151
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.440
his Porsche in the nineteen eighty four
Miami Grand Prix during the last week of

152
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.960
February. He had this dark sports
car number fifty one, and that was

153
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.559
familiar to race fans as Chris was
too, because I told you he was

154
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.799
all over the ing February twenty six. He was seen around the track and

155
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.919
so was a woman named twenty one
year old Rosario Chari I think was what

156
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.679
she went by Gonzalez. Rosario was
pretty dark eyed girl. With dreams that

157
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.320
succeeding as a model, She among
several other attractive women, were hired by

158
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.480
a pharmaceutical company to pass out free
samples of a new pill containing aspirin to

159
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.559
racing fans. Get some pretty girls, yeah, give him some aspirin to

160
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.879
hand out to people. Would you
like sample of this new crowd? Huk

161
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:09.000
what company? God bless the US
and I love the eighties. Man Rozara

162
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.759
left her home in Homestead, Florida, drove north for twenty three miles and

163
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.919
arrived at the parking lot of a
hotel close to the race track. She

164
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.080
picked up her tray of samples at
the pharmacutical company's tent at about eight thirty

165
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.519
in the morning, and it was
a Sunday. It was shortly after one

166
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.960
pm when Rosario dropped her sample tray
at the company tent, saying she was

167
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.879
going to take a lunch break and
then she'd be right back. But she

168
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.279
never came back. Oh. Rosario
told her parents she'd probably be home for

169
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:45.799
supper in Homestead between six and seven
PM that Sunday. When she wasn't there

170
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.159
by nine, they were worried to
the point that they called the Florida highway

171
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.919
patrol, you know, see if
her car broke down or some accident or

172
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.519
something like that. When she wasn't
home by three am, they knew something

173
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.039
was really, really wrong. I
mean, she loved her home, she

174
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.960
had a fiancee, she was in
love with. I mean, she's planning

175
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.480
her wedding. There's no reason for
her to runaway. So something bad had

176
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.639
to have happened, and I'm sure
she would have called to right exactly.

177
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.600
Miami homicide detectives were put on the
case, but they had very few witnesses

178
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.000
who remembered seeing her. On that
Sunday afternoon, one of the other models

179
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.120
who handed out aspirin said that she
and her mother had seen Rosario. They

180
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.759
said she was following a man or
maybe walking behind him in a crowd.

181
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.679
He was white, he looked as
if he was in his late thirties,

182
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.159
and there wasn't a lot to go
on. They did a sketch of him,

183
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.960
and then it was distributed to the
media that Miami Harold printed a story

184
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.799
about Rosario's disappearance, and a scattering
of sightings trickled in. A man from

185
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.600
Pompino Turnpike called police to say he'd
seen a girl resembling her jumping out of

186
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:58.279
a car near the turnpike of some
plaza and that she was running and there

187
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.480
were two men chase after caught her. It looked like there was a struggle

188
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.720
with her and they were beating her
and they forced her back into the car.

189
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.960
The motor said that he filed their
car and it turned off on to

190
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.320
some exit for Boca Ratan, and
he managed to get the last three numbers

191
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.759
of the license plate, but that
wasn't much help. And my question is

192
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.279
why did he wait till the story
came out? Yeah? Right, maybe

193
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.519
he went to the police, and
then maybe he went to the Miami Herald.

194
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.320
On Monday, March fifth, only
a week after Rosario's disappearance, Bath

195
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.440
didn't come home to see the apartment
she shared with her roommate. The roommate

196
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.519
assumed she was most like maybe at
her parents' house. She wasn't really worried

197
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.200
until someone at her work, she
worked at this high school, called asking

198
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.480
why Bath hadn't come in. Bath
worked at the high school. The roommate

199
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.799
then called best parents and learned they
hadn't seen her, and they notified the

200
00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.759
Metro Dade County Police. There was
three days that passed with no word from

201
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.559
On Thursday, March eleventh, Bass
Chrysler convertible that was the car she'd driven

202
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.519
away from the high school in It
was found at a parking lot at the

203
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.279
Miami International Airport. When police did
some research and investigation, they didn't see

204
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.600
Bass's name listed on any flights going
out of Miami for any of the days

205
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.399
that she'd been missing, or even
a little before or anything. So the

206
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.679
Kenyans that's Bass family. They hired
a private investigator. Best photograph became really

207
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:33.279
familiar to the people that lived in
southern Florida. One man who learned she

208
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.080
was missing worked at the service station
in Coral Gables and that's where she usually

209
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.480
bought her gas. He remembered the
last time he's seen her. It was

210
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.519
Monday, March eighth, shortly before
his shift ended, at three pm.

211
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.679
She'd been driving her convertible and she
was talking with a man who drove a

212
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.919
Cadillac Eldorado. The attendant recalled the
conversation to investigators, So, I guess

213
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:02.559
he's like listening, she's dropping used
and she was asking, am I dressed

214
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.240
all right? Who will be taking
my picture? And then he said that

215
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.679
he went to go cleaner windshield and
she said, don't worry about that.

216
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:15.440
I'm late for the airport. So
that's what the switness says. It's weird.

217
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.519
It is weird. She's just going
to the airport and didn't tell anybody,

218
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.080
right, According to the service station
attendant, the man in the cattle

219
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.559
I paid for her gas and he
followed her car out of the station,

220
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.120
And that was the last reported sighting
of Bath. Her mother went through all

221
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.399
of her photo albums and took out
pictures that she could show to the gas

222
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.480
station attendant just to make sure like
this was really Bath, just to see

223
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:45.480
if the attendant recognized any of best
friends or any anybody else in all these

224
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.159
pictures that were close to Bath.
Yeah, and she was surprised when he

225
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.480
pointed out Chris as being the man
on the Cadillact that day. Oh shit.

226
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.799
Best mom remembered a little bit about
Chris, knew that Beth considered him

227
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.799
a friend, and knew that he
gave her some unexpected proposal, but never

228
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.319
thought that he would be an abductor
because he seemed polite and sweet. One

229
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:14.400
time. He even joined the family
for a dinner. When the police reached

230
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.519
out to Chris. He said he
had known Bath, but he hadn't seen

231
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.200
her in a while. Of course, while he said he couldn't have possibly

232
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.400
been whether at the gas station on
Monday because he was busy at working,

233
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.119
he's up her ass every other day. But yeah, remember he's still stopping

234
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.559
out. She doesn't even know it. He called bass parents and reassured them

235
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.799
that he would fully cooperate with the
investigators. But that's when the investigators started

236
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.720
digging into Chris's past. They learned
he wasn't anything like the perfect gentleman he

237
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:51.480
claimed to be, no record,
And then when they learned that he drove

238
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.440
a race car, they started thinking
about Rosario, Oh how she disappeared,

239
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.200
And they dug a little more.
They found out that Chris was there with

240
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.559
his sports car that weekend, and
then they're like, ding ding, ding,

241
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:10.240
ding ding, something's going on.
There's no such thing as a coincidence

242
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.480
right now when it comes to serial
killers. No. Another photographer who'd been

243
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.599
at the Grand Prix that weekend told
detectives that Chris had presented himself as a

244
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.079
photographer as well as a contractor and
a race car driver. He is a

245
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.599
jack of all training. One step
shop. He had a very expensive camera

246
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:32.599
around his neck. On that Sunday, he saw Chris walk past the pharmaceutical

247
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.880
company's tent, and this other photographer
vividly remembered that Chris stared openly at the

248
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.559
girls we were handing out the free
samples of asking Oh no, of course

249
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.440
he was, because he's gross.
He could place Chris within ten feet of

250
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:52.279
Rosario before she disappeared. Investigators were
now sure Chris was responsible for both disappearances.

251
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.000
And we're on Monday, March twelfth. Now investigators invested his construction company

252
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.480
in plain clothes. Yeah, harmless, We're just here to be friends.

253
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.920
And I asked you some questions,
and they asked some questions. Chris told

254
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.599
him the same story. You'd been
working that Monday when Beth was last seen.

255
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.119
He even had a fellow employee given
an alibi, and it was kind

256
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.880
of weird. He said, Chris
is always down in Boca in the morning,

257
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.960
then back here in the afternoon.
He's always here in the afternoon.

258
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:25.319
That was the alibi. Always,
She's just always here there. Yeah,

259
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.920
that's salad. However, the man
who gave Chris his alibi also blurted out

260
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.960
something about quote a girl's car found
at the airport, and then acted as

261
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.759
if he wanted to take it back. That's what you told me, wasn't

262
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.480
it. Chris? Oh, Chris
is like what looked at him with daggers?

263
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.960
Shut your mouth I was talking about? Chris answered, yes, her

264
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.400
mother told me that, but when
investigators checked with bass mom, she never

265
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.599
told him anything about that, not
to mention that was in. The police

266
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.599
had cho wasn't to keep quiet,
you know, keep some info quiet so

267
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.279
they can weed out those people that
randomly confess the murders that didn't do it.

268
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.039
Yet, Chris knew exactly where baths
convertible had been found, and so

269
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.400
did his employee. Yeah, how
would he know. The police found it

270
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.319
very difficult to receive a search warrant
because they didn't feel like they had enough

271
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.200
probable cause. They had no blood, no signs of struggle, no bullet

272
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:30.519
fragments, no torn clothing or anything
that even suggested that Bath was dead.

273
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.599
Yeah. In the meantime, Chris
is still seeing a counselor because he's on

274
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.920
probation, and he failed to show
up for an appointment Thursday, March fifteenth.

275
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.000
Instead, he had to do the
ocean and he went to the Daytona

276
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.160
Beach motel and checked in. He
was gonna creep up and down that sandy

277
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:56.640
strip and talk to women he met
there because he is a PERV. That's

278
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.000
when he met fifteen year old Colleen
or is born. But before I tell

279
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.839
you more about what happened with Colleen, We're gonna take a quick break.

280
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:15.640
Um we're back. Fifteen year old
Colleen Orsbourne disappeared in Daytona at Daytona Beach

281
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.599
that same day. No one could
say it was Chris for sure, it

282
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.559
was responsible for her vanishing, but
her body was never found. Oh On

283
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.519
Friday, the Miami Herald broke the
story about the race car driver who was

284
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:33.519
a suspect in the disappearance of both
Beth and Rosario. They did everything but

285
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.440
print his name and a picture of
him, and this freaked him. They'll

286
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.480
fuck out, He's like, fuck
quietly. Chris withdrew his savings from the

287
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:47.519
bank account, using some of the
money to purchase a nineteen seventy three Chrysler

288
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.640
New Yorker that had very low mileage. Then he took his three big dogs

289
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:56.519
to a kennel and he left them
there before taking off and getting the fuck

290
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.079
out of South Florida. Chris was
now and with a plan, and it

291
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.319
wasn't a good plan. He was
gonna target amateur models at shows in the

292
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:11.920
malls of America. He thought would
be models and starlets would be more vulnerable

293
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:17.200
because of their ambition, and his
goal was to take full advantage of them.

294
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.960
Fuck his construction company house and his
poogle and his boat. He's going

295
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.200
to take off in his fucking car, yea, with his life savings,

296
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.640
just to be a weirdow. He
was immaculately dressed, with a neatly trimmed

297
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.640
beard, and he blended in the
crowds. And if you see pictures of

298
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.480
him, looks like an ordinary guy. Ye It just looks a regular guy.

299
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.960
But when you like hear about him, and then all of a sudden

300
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.279
you look at him, You're like, yeah, he's definitely a fucking creep.

301
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.680
I should have saw that he's a
creep. He had fake business cards

302
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.240
all set up. He was a
representative of a modeling agency, and as

303
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.839
I said, he's got that expensive
camera and he's got it strapped around his

304
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.559
neck and he was just smiling and
her to these models playing the cards.

305
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:07.039
So gross, I know, say, Patrick's day found Chris one hundred miles

306
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:12.279
north of Woynton Beach at a shopping
mall on Merritt Island. I don't know

307
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.880
where that is. I think so
in Florida. Teresa Ferguson. She was

308
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:22.400
twenty one. She was a step
daughter of a police captain in Indian Harbor.

309
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.440
Teresa hoped to become a model,
and she was certainly very, very

310
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:32.559
beautiful. She had huge brown eyes, big smile, and a lot of

311
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.880
thick, dark hare. She took
her time shopping in the mall that Saturday

312
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.359
afternoon. At some point she was
approached by a man, a creeper with

313
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:47.200
sandy hair and a very neat beard. Shoppers in the mall would recall seeing

314
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.839
her talking to him. She didn't
seem alarmed. She was actually smiling and

315
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.400
nodding because he's probably telling her how
beautiful you are. Oh yeah, you

316
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.920
should be a model. And coincidentally, I'm a photographer looking for models.

317
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:06.119
My job, my job. In
a seemingly unconnected incident, a man whose

318
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:11.000
car was struck in the sand near
West Coco Beach had to call a tow

319
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.000
truck that day. It was sometime
between three and three pm when there was

320
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.680
this call for a tow truck to
come in. The truck driver responded to

321
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:26.279
find a man about forty balding with
a nice short trim beard. He had

322
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.440
a nineteen seventy three Chrysler and he
was trapped along a local road known as

323
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.960
Lover's Lane. The man said his
trunk was locked and he didn't have a

324
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.279
key, but that he didn't have
anything in there. Could they get him

325
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.279
out. He's just stuck and he
just needs help getting out. He doesn't

326
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.880
can't get any tools to get himself
out. It was what he's saying about

327
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.279
the trunk. Okay, he's gotten
you know, I can't get in it,

328
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.799
but there's nothing in there that would
help me. The Chrysler ended up

329
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:55.759
coming out of the sand easily enough. He paid the toe truck driver and

330
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.279
he drove to his Coco Beach motel, where he didn't check in in his

331
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.880
real name but instead used his poor
business partner's name. Fucker, it's like

332
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:08.559
me signing it Tanya, Tanya,
isn't it Tanya? Of course? Teresa

333
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:15.440
Ferguson never returned home, and her
parents reported her missing. Marched twentieth three

334
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.559
days later, about two hundred and
fifty miles away in Tallahassee, a nineteen

335
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.519
year old Florida State University student named
Jie Lennox. She was shopping because we

336
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.440
all like to go to those shop
at the Governor's Square Mall. She was

337
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.519
slim and blonde. She looked like
she'd be a model, and this guy

338
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.400
walked up to her and held out
his business guard. Hey, here you

339
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.759
go. At first, according to
witnesses, Joe was startled, but not

340
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.039
afraid. She's just like, well, what, Yeah. He explained that

341
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.839
he was a professional photographer, and
then he couldn't help but notice that she

342
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:52.279
had the kind of beauty that modeling
agencies were looking for. Jill smiled but

343
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.680
shook her head when he offered her
a job. He told her that she

344
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.799
was perfect. He had everything back
at a studio. She's interested. Yeah,

345
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.400
come on, I'm right, let's
let's do this now. Yeah,

346
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.319
let's just now drop everything, But
she wasn't interested. He said okay,

347
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.039
and he kind of accepted the defeat, but told her that he took some

348
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.400
shots of her as she was walking, and he offered to send them to

349
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.680
her if he could use them later
on. So he wanted her address.

350
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.720
He told her that he had some
release forms back in his car. Jez,

351
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.680
he has everything just parked right outside
the entrance. Come on to my

352
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.200
car and sign it. H come
on, Jill thought, that seems safe

353
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.160
enough. Like, I'm not going
to his studio. I'm just gonna go

354
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.240
out into a parking lot in the
middle of the day and yeah, in

355
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.839
them all and it was probably hundreds
of people. It's broad daylight. So

356
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.160
she said okay, and she walked
with him to the car, which wasn't

357
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.359
parked nearby like he had described.
They talked casually as they strolled towards the

358
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.559
car, and when they got there, he lifted the trunk lid and he

359
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:04.359
was rummaging around looking for the release
of hers in his trunk. Suddenly he

360
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:11.039
turned and his arm just shot out
rapidly. He closed fist hit her in

361
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.119
the STOMACHO. Yeah, knocked the
wind out of her. An instant later,

362
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.680
she felt this blow to her head
and she was all dizzy. Before

363
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.000
she could gather her wit to run
or fight, this guy was lifting her

364
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.319
off her feet and tossing her into
the trunk. Then he slammed the lid

365
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.920
down and she was just stuck in
the darkness, just tossed around as the

366
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.680
car rushed out of the parking lot
of the mall. Damn. After several

367
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.559
minutes, the car stopped, the
trunk opened. They were in the country

368
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.799
somewhere, but Jill didn't get a
long time to really look around. He

369
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.000
then tied her hands and feet,
and he put a gag over her mouth,

370
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.400
and then he closed the trunk again. When the trunk lid finally opened

371
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.960
again, it was dark outside,
and all she could see was his blurred

372
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:03.400
shape and there was that creepy guy, Chris. Chris forced her to crawl

373
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.640
and wiggle into a sleeping bag and
he zipped it completely around her head.

374
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:14.319
Oh man, she's gagged and tied
up and threw her over his shoulder like

375
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.359
basically sacked potatoes. She's, like
I said, gagged. She couldn't make

376
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.240
any noise for anyone to hear her. And he tossed her roughly into the

377
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.559
bad of the motel. So he's
scatter in a really he's in some country

378
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.599
motel? Yeah, and hervas Yeah
it is because it doesn't look like you

379
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.359
got a person in that sleeping bag, right, weird really heavy sleeping bag.

380
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:45.759
They're Jill underwent a terrible ordeal of
sexual sadism. Because Chris was a

381
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.079
sexual sadist. She was raped and
subjected to every variation of abuse that you

382
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:55.240
could think of. And I mean, we've had I don't I don't have

383
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:59.119
all the details, but he's a
sadist. Yeah, we can imagine.

384
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.720
We can imagine all the other awful
things that have happened to women in their

385
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:06.240
stories. And he, you know, took his time with her, and

386
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:11.039
once he was satisfied, she realized
he's still not done with her. He's

387
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.119
not gonna let her go. Chris
cut the cord of the bedside lamp and

388
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.640
peel back the insulation from the bare
wires. Then he plugged the cord back

389
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:26.319
in the wall, and then he
held it to her bare feet to shocker

390
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.480
with electricity. The shocks were very
painful, as you can imagine, she's

391
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.799
being electrocuted on her feet. But
it wasn't enough to kill her. He

392
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.799
demanded that she danced naked and do
aerobics. It's a fucking weird and he

393
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:45.319
would shock her and have her do
aerobics, dancing in connection with the shocks,

394
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.839
like shock and then aerobics. It
took him more than two hours to

395
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.319
get bored with his electric torture.
Oh my god. Now he wanted to

396
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:59.240
see this is bad, This is
bad. Okay, he wanted to see

397
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.039
if super glue really worked. And
he drizzled a bead of glue on the

398
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.480
lids of her eyes and forced them
closed, and he used a hair dryer

399
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.839
to make them drive faster. Oh
my god, the glue worked really well,

400
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.039
and she couldn't really open her eyes. She could have like a little

401
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.400
slit, like a little slice of
vision, but she didn't want him to

402
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.720
know that. Now Chris is confident
his captive is helpless. I'm blind,

403
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:27.279
And so he lets his guard down
and he starts watching some TV. He

404
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:34.799
would stop every now and then and
occasionally zapped Jill, just elect her cuter.

405
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.519
One time, Jill kind of tugged
on the cord from the wall,

406
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.119
and then she decided, okay,
she saw her the cord while she knew

407
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.920
it was attached to the wall.
She opened her eyes a little bit and

408
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.400
she headed for the door. He
whirled around and he cracked her over the

409
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:53.279
head with a hair dryer. Her
head split and blood, but she managed

410
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.400
to get into the bathroom and locked
the door behind her. Oh man,

411
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:03.279
yeah, she ended up free herself
from the gag and screamed and screamed and

412
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.440
screamed for her while also pounding on
the walls and the floor. When she

413
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.960
stopped yelling for a minute just to
listen if someone was I don't know around,

414
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.920
If he's still around, she could
hear him scurrying around the motel room,

415
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.960
his suitcase being clicked like and then
him slamming the door. Maybe he's

416
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.400
gone, but she didn't trust him. She waited a whole another half hour

417
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.119
before opening the bathroom door, still
open, the door just a crack,

418
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:36.440
and peered out. The room looked
empty, but I mean she's terrified.

419
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.119
She's expecting him to surprise her.
She slowly and cautiously comes out further and

420
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.599
looks around the room. Give him
mine. Her eyes are still glue shot,

421
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.400
she can barely see anything. She
was hoping she could get her clothes

422
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.160
on and get out, maybe she
could make it to the office. And

423
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.960
I think it's very interesting that,
like you're in this deadly situation and thinking

424
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.440
like you still want to not be
naked, Yeah right, right, just

425
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:04.640
run out naked. But I mean, I think that's just part of us

426
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.359
as humans. And just I thought
that was kind of interesting. Guess what

427
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:13.160
she managed to get out? She
did and go to the motel manager's office.

428
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.640
Oh my gosh, and they called
the police. Yeah, wow,

429
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:22.200
good for her. She'll didn't know
who her kidnapper was, but she had

430
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.160
his face memorized. She was determined
to do everything she could to get him

431
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:30.680
caught. Every cop in Florida was
looking for someone who looked like Chris,

432
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:35.160
and one of the mug shots that
Jill looked at, Chris was in it,

433
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.640
and she picked him out immediately.
He had abducted her and taken her

434
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.720
to Georgia against her will, and
that's a federal crime. So now the

435
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.039
FBI is involved. Yeah, and
off the state line. Federal warrant issued

436
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.759
for his rest. But if you
think that stopped him, it did not.

437
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.799
The next day, remember I told
you about Teresa, and she'd been

438
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.799
missing. She wasn't missing any longer. A crew from an electric company had

439
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.400
come across her body in an late
creek in Polk County, about one hundred

440
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:07.640
miles from where she disappeared. She'd
been savagely beaten and strangled. Authorities followed

441
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.279
Chris's trail to the mall where Teresa
vanish to the bog down car and the

442
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:17.480
Sandy Lovers Lane, right, yeah, then to where her body was.

443
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.359
They concluded that she'd probably been in
the trunk of his car the whole time,

444
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.240
and probably alive when the Choe truck
came d she was just gagged and

445
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.319
right, I don't know now.
That was the headline all over Florida.

446
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:35.920
As you can imagine, in the
southeast, people who knew Chris were like,

447
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.599
what the fuck. Friends at the
racetrack told that FBI agents that the

448
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.480
man they knew, he's a really
nice guy. He's kind of shy,

449
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.119
yeah, right, he would never
be shy and kind and a perv.

450
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:52.599
Yeah, they didn't say that.
One of the most shocked of Chris's acquaintances

451
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:57.240
was this homicide detective in the Palm
Beach County Sheriff's Department. His name was

452
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.920
Tom Neighbors. He wrote a BOLO
that had coming cross his office and he

453
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.920
was stunned because he thought he knew
Chris really well. He'd had drinks with

454
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.119
Chris just on March eighth. Wow, they were friends. He just couldn't

455
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:15.800
believe, like this guy, I
just drank with a rapist and a killer.

456
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.679
Let me kidnapper, but then he
remembered something he himself had worked a

457
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:25.519
case of sexual assault in nineteen eighty
three, where two barely pubessant girls had

458
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.840
been pulled into a Chevy el Camino
pickup in Pointant Beach. The driver had

459
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:36.239
taken them down on Lonely Road and
molested them, and then surprisingly he had

460
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.280
driven them back to where they were
abducted and let him go. A case

461
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.440
had never been solved, even though
it happened very close to the police station,

462
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:49.800
and Neighbors now realized, Tom Neighbors, that was right by Chris Wilder's

463
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:57.639
construction office, the plat Thinckins,
And that was in eighty three. Wow.

464
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:00.440
An artist sketch done from the girls
scription showed a man with a thick

465
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.039
head of hair, but the man
looked a lot like Chris, and Chris

466
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.800
every now and then put out a
two pay Oh really, So now Tom

467
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:14.480
Neighbors is like, hmmm, yeah. He arranged for the victims in nineteen

468
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.679
eighty three to look at some mug
shots and they picked out Chris. Yeah,

469
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:22.880
that's son of a bitch. He's
on the run now and he's not

470
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:30.440
done. He's just started. Actually, And this story gets really really crazy.

471
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:31.880
I don't want to give too much
away, but if you don't know

472
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:36.119
it, it gets crazy. I
don't know it. You don't know.

473
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.320
Oh I don't know the story.
Oh fuck, I'm in for a treat.

474
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:45.480
