Serial killer Christopher Wilder wasn't looking as an ogre or something like that. He may not have been the most charming man on Earth, but neither was he the ugliest nor the most abnormal looking one out to hunt young girls for sex abuse and killings. Nonetheless, that was what he was even before 1984 when he lured 16 years old Tina Marie Risico from a shopping mall by pretending to be a fashion agent looking for young girls who wanted jobs as models.
A lot of young girls want just that, as such a job may open new doors for them. As to Tina Marie, then she had had a difficult childhood with various kinds of abuse. Also, her mother had been involved with MC-gangs. Something, which both mother and daughter had had to handle as best they could.
Stepping into the car of Christopher Wilder opened up to new, awful experiences for Tina Marie, but later on she said that the lessons she had learnt from her childhood traumas had saved her from being yet another one of his numerous victims. He raped her several times, as he had done to his previous victims, but he didn't follow his usual agenda of killing her. When she was abducted by him, he had already killed (at least) 8 women, but her personality and behavior made him trust her enough to turn her into his kidnap-helper.
His preference of young, very pretty girls made him haunt beauty pageants, and at that time his nickname was "The Beauty Queen Killer".
Dawnette Wilt
Unfortunately, Tina Maria proved to be a good kidnap-helper as she lured another girl of 16 years, Dawnette Wilt, into the Christopher Wilder-trap of kidnapping, raping and murders. However, Dawnette proved to be a tough girl as she survived his stabbing her and leaving her for dead in a wood. When he found out that she hadn't died as he meant her to, he knew that the game was over, and shortly after he, sort of, committed suicide as he died in a police shootout which he might have escaped by turning himself in.
In the end he let his "helper", Tina Marie, go, gave her some money for her ticket home and also suggested that she wrote a book about her ordeals.
One can't deny that these serial killers "work" hard to get what they want. As most - but not all - of them are men, it opens up to some questions: Would they be "cured" by being surgically castrated? Are they, or their hormones, to be blamed for women losing their lives for their weird sex urges? To blame the hormones, these crimes are being turned into some kind of illness, and that I don't believe. Not to blame the hormones, but the man, the blame rests on personality, lack of morals, and Patriarchal ideologies, so what explanation do we chose? A difficult question which there isn't an easy answer to ....
