Nearly killed at birth.\\xa0 Nearly drowned as a toddler.\\xa0 Australian transplant to America, where he becomes a rich South Florida playboy.\\xa0 Stone cold sexual predator.\\xa0 One of the deadliest spree killers in U.S. history.\\xa0 As Melissa explains in this episode, all of those descriptions apply to Christopher Wilder, who in less than three months in early 1984 wrote the swansong to his scabrous 39-year life by abducting and raping (at least) 12 women, killing (at least) 8 of them over a six-week cross-country murder binge that didn\'t end until...well let\'s not spoil the ending.\\xa0 Suffice it to say that nothing about the story of "The Beauty Queen Killer," as Wilder was dubbed by the American press, is anything close to beautiful.
