Episode 025: Wade Wilson and the Murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz
On the night of Oct 6, 2019, Kristine Melton and her friend went out to a bar, where Kristine met a man, Wade Wilson. Kristine and Wade seemed to initially hit it off with each other, but later that night, Wade strangled Kristine to death. The following day, Wade also killed Diane Ruiz, by strangling her and then repeatedly running her over with the vehicle he was driving.
