Catching Evil

How I Survived the Serial Killer Christopher Wilder


Listen Later

She survived serial killer Christopher Wilder at eleven years old — but the real fight came after. For thirty years, Kristine buried it. No answers, no justice, just a narrative handed to her by a system that looked away. Then she started digging — and what she uncovered made her physically sick. Bodies on Wilder's property. A girl murdered just three days after her own abduction. And one devastating question that has never left her: did he kill her because he couldn't kill me?


In this raw, emotional episode, the Catching Evil team flies to America to meet Kristine face to face. At fifty, she is finally stripping away decades of shame and reclaiming who she really is — and watching her do it is extraordinary. Her husband sits to one side, tears streaming, as she describes waking up mid-life and realising she'd been living someone else's story. The girl who outsmarted a serial killer at eleven is learning, at last, to see herself as a warrior.


And she's not done. Kristine believes Wilder had far more victims than the world knows — women with no names, no justice, no voice. She intends to change that. For them. For her granddaughter. And for every woman still carrying a story she's been told to forget. This one will stay with you
