The Mystery of Tina Risico

He was killing every few days — then he took Tina, and suddenly stopped. Christopher Wilder had already abducted nine women and murdered most of them in a six-week rampage across America. He was the FBI's most wanted man. Every woman he took, he raped, tortured and then quickly killed them. But when he abducted 16-year-old Tina Risico from an LA shopping mall, something changed. The killing stopped. For nine days, he kept her alive — and for 40 years, no one has fully explained why. Until now. This is the story of the girl who was allowed to walk away when none of the others were — and the question at its heart is one every woman will ask: what did Tina do differently to survive? She tells us in her own words. #serialkillersecrets #serialkillerprofiles #notoriousserialkillers #famousserialkillers #TinaRisico We need your help to continue this investigation: Contact us if you have had an encounter with Christopher Wilder or have information about him or any of his crimes: info@catchingevil.com [info@catchingevil.com] JOIN US AND SUPPORT THESE NOT-FOR-PROFITS: US  Survivors of Homicide Inc - https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/ [https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/] Yesterday Today Tomorrow Women Inc - https://www.yttwomen.org/ [https://www.yttwomen.org/] Aus Mary’s House 1800 002 111 https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/ [https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/] Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/ [https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@catchingevil [https://tiktok.com/@catchingevil?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExak8yZjc1T3FNanRKYW5BNXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6bmY4G0h-190k7kVCVMdocs6Q3tsmqOUiwgQx9BzBohRB_tIj2owPaKQ9uOg_aem_PRsGxGfgRs7bmxRrF98QiA] Credits: Hosts Andy Byrne  Mark Llewellyn Audio Production Sam Blacker - The Podcast Butler Resources The Pretty Girl Killer by Andrew Byrne - courtesy of Penguin Random House The Beauty Queen Killer: 9 Days of Terror - Hulu Thanks to Pro Podcast Studios, Sydney Catching Evil is hosted on Acast.

Fight Like Your Life Depends On It

'I Was Groomed by a Serial Killer': A Survivor's Chilling Story. LeAnne was just 16 when serial killer Christopher Wilder lured her off a crowded Florida beach, blindfolded her, and drove her to a place no teenage girl should ever find herself. She thought she was going to be a model. Instead, she came face-to-face with a monster. In this raw and emotional episode, true-crime experts Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations, and Olivia LaVoice, host of The Bakersfield Three, react with shock and anger to LeAnne's terrifying brush with death. They explore the psychology behind Wilder's predatory behaviour, the systemic failures that allowed him to destroy so many lives, and why women are conditioned from a young age to comply with predators rather than fight back. LeAnne's encounter with evil is a stark and unsettling reminder of the dangers women still face — and why we need to talk about it. This episode also shines a light on the devastating ripple effect of Wilder's crimes on the families left behind, the importance of giving survivors and victims' loved ones a voice, and why true-crime podcasts are playing a vital role in keeping cold cases alive and delivering justice long after the system has failed. Gemma Bath is the host of True Crime Conversations on Mamamia, one of Australia's most successful and respected true-crime podcasts which explores the world's most notorious crimes by speaking to the people who know the most about them. https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/true-crime-conversations/ [https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/true-crime-conversations/] Olivia LaVoice is a Seattle-based crime reporter who hosted the hit true-crime series The Bakersfield Three for Casefile Present, and before that ,The Man with a Thousand Faces https://casefilepresents.com/the-bakersfield-three/ [https://casefilepresents.com/the-bakersfield-three/] We want your help: Contact us if you had an encounter with Christopher Wilder or have information about him or any of his crimes: info@catchingevil.com [info@catchingevil.com] JOIN US AND SUPPORT THESE NOT-FOR-PROFITS: US  Survivors of Homicide Inc - https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/ [https://www.survivorsofhomicide.com/] Yesterday Today Tomorrow Women Inc - https://www.yttwomen.org/ [https://www.yttwomen.org/] Aus Mary’s House 1800 002 111 https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/ [https://www.maryshouse.org.au/about/] Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/ [https://www.instagram.com/catchingevil/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582973930611] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@catchingevil [https://tiktok.com/@catchingevil?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExak8yZjc1T3FNanRKYW5BNXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6bmY4G0h-190k7kVCVMdocs6Q3tsmqOUiwgQx9BzBohRB_tIj2owPaKQ9uOg_aem_PRsGxGfgRs7bmxRrF98QiA] #catchingevil  #prettygirlkiller #truecrimetok #truecrime #givingavoice #christopherwilder  #serialkiller #MiamiGrandPrix #ProtectOurGirls #SafetyEducation #EmpowerYoungWomen #BreakTheSilence #TrueCrimeCommunity #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrimeObsessed #MindysStory #TerryWalden #BeautyQueenKiller #TerryFerguson #Survivor #WandaBeach #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivorStories #RememberHer #PodcastRecommendation #VictimsMatter #NeverForgotten #MarianneSchmidt #ChristineSharrock #RosarioGonzalez #BethKenyon #ColleenOrsborne #SuzieLogan #Sheryl Bonaventura Credits: Hosts Andy Byrne  Mark Llewellyn Audio Production Sam Blacker - The Podcast Butler Resources The Pretty Girl Killer by Andrew Byrne - courtesy of Penguin Random House Thanks to Pro Podcast Studios, Sydney Catching Evil is hosted on Acast.

Ellery Jane Doe: The Greatest Mystery of All - Part 1

Link: For 43 years, nobody has known her name. In December 1983, a young mother was shot four times and her body dumped on a remote New York highway. She had no identification. Nobody reported her missing. She was buried as Ellery Jane Doe — named after the town where she was found — and has remained unidentified ever since. The FBI couldn't name her. Interpol couldn't. Homicide detectives couldn't. But Catching Evil listeners have blown this case wide open — placing serial killer Christopher Wilder in New York just 48 hours before her body was found, and cracking a coded note found in her coat pocket that had defeated experts for decades. Now, cold case detectives are asking our worldwide true crime audience to make the final connection. Listen to the episode, then go to our podcast blog and look at Ellery Jane Doe's photographs. Share the link with everyone you know, particularly if they are overseas. Link: https://www.catchingevil.com/post/episode-16-ellery-jane-doe [https://www.catchingevil.com/post/episode-16-ellery-jane-doe] Give this murdered mother her real name back and solve a murder.

Daddy's Girl

She was seventeen years old, competing in her very first beauty pageant, and she was there alone. Her dad called her his girl. Her car's number plate read TOMISH — To Michelle — with the tag line 'Daddy's Girl.' She had told her mum she was going to be President by the time she was thirty-five. She will forever be seventeen. Michelle Korfman left that Las Vegas shopping mall on a Sunday afternoon in March 1984 with a man who told her she had a big future in modelling. But he wasn't a fashion photographer, he was a serial killer who had been preying on America's most beautiful women for two decades. Michelle's family spent a small fortune searching for her — helicopters, search parties, 25,000 posters. They never stopped looking. She was found forty days later but spent another month in the morgue, listed as Jane Doe #39, before dental records finally gave her back her name. This is Michelle's story, this is her voice - not the killers. Because she was a piano player, a photographer, a daughter, and a dreamer — and she deserves to be remembered as exactly that.
