In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale dives into the horrifying case of Christopher Wilder, the charismatic predator known as The Beauty Queen Killer. Using his charm, wealth, and the guise of a professional photographer, Wilder lured young women across the United States with promises of fame and modeling careers—only to drug, torture, rape, and murder them in a coast-to-coast killing spree during the spring of 1984. Over 40 days, Wilder left a trail of at least eight confirmed victims, manipulating his way through malls, beaches, and highways with terrifying ease. He was a sadist hiding behind a smile, using his camera like a trap, and preying on dreams until his death in a final violent standoff in New Hampshire. This episode explores Wilder’s disturbing psychology, the missed warnings, and the survivors who barely escaped with their lives. He wasn’t a shadowy figure lurking in alleys—he was hiding in plain sight, offering opportunity… and delivering horror.
