Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of Christopher Wilder. In 1984, Wilder went on a terrifying cross-country rampage that lasted 47 days and claimed the lives of at least eight young women, who believed that Wilder would help them achieve their modeling dreams. Known as the “Beauty Queen Killer,” he used his charm and wealth to manipulate and control his victims before subjecting them to horrific violence. Candice examines how Wilder’s deeply rooted fantasies and past criminal behavior escalated into a nationwide killing spree – and how a relentless manhunt brought his reign of terror to an end.
