They were all attractive, vulnerable, and ambitious. They fell for his promise of a career in modeling. And they all died a slow, horrible death at his hands.
This is the true American horror story of Christopher Wilder – a successful businessman, a sportsman, and a convicted sex offender…a story that begins on the sunny Florida morning Wilder left his home and ends after a six week cross-country odyssey of sexual sadism and murder.
It is the chilling account of one of the greatest manhunts of the century, of the perverted rage in a murderous mind, and of a shocked nation left to the ponder the case of The Beauty Queen Killer.
Austrialian born Christopher Wilder appeared to be a model citizen, well liked and respect by his well-to-do Mission Hill Road neighbors.
But there was a monster who lurked beneath the façade; a psychotic sexual predator who tortured his victims before killing them.
In The Beauty Queen Killer, author Bruce Gibney outlines the nationwide travels of a killer on the prowl and the law enforcement officials trying to stop him.
This past-faced, 212-page read may have been published almost 20 years ago, but is one that could still easily make a Top 10 list.
The appenxis of this book includes letters written by psychtrist who interviewed Christopher Wilder along with article written by Judith Knight – a journalist who consulted a psychic for clues on the whereabouts of Wilder’s victims whose bodies still remain missing.
Quite frankly, this appendix section could have been left out as it offers no real value to the book. However, for some it will make interesting reading although I personally recommend stopping with page 186.
Overall, The Beauty Queen Killer is definitely a must-read.
