- I am reading the FBI's
transcript of my interrogation.

On Wednesday, April 4th, 1984,
she went into the shopping mall

to Hickory's Farms
Gourmet Food Store

to fill out an application.

As she entered the store,
she saw a man standing there

later determined to be Wilder,

and they said hi to each other.

[sighs]

OK, so Wilder stated that
he wanted to

take some photographs of her
in a mountain setting.

And therefore,
they drove in the car east

into the local mountains.

He requested her to look up
at the mountains.

When Risico looked back at him,

she was shocked to see that he
was pointing a revolver at her.

He then placed the barrel
of the revolver--

oh, I forgot about that.

Oh, OK, so he did rape me
in the car right after that.

I forgot all about that.

Now that I'm reading all this,
it's coming right back up.

[dry chuckle]

I laugh because
it covers my crazy fear

I'm having right now.

Oh, that was--that was gross.

[exhales]

Mm! [chuckles]

[sighs]
Come on, honey.

I need to hold you, baby doggy.

[chuckles]

[unsettling music]

Hmm.

I'm trying to, like,
get it out of my mind,

and it's just swirling
right now.

[exhales]

I'm gonna have
nightmares tonight.

[car rumbling]

- I have in my hand
a piece of paper.

It's entitled "Wilder's
Criminal Mode Of Operation."

[unsettling music]

We have determined
that for many years,

subject has followed
the same mode.

He will approach
attractive young women,

late teens to early 20s,
who look younger

at shopping malls and resorts,

comment on their beauty,

represent that
he's a photographer,

and can further
a modeling career for them.

His approach is described
as extremely smooth

and self-assured.

- Yeah, I mean,
I remember the day.

He walked up. My mother was
there, 'cause I couldn't drive.

And we were at
Cutler Ridge Mall.

TINA: I was 14.

- He was very charming,
for sure.

Very charming,
very piercing blue eyes.

- He was well dressed,
well groomed.

- And he came up and he said,
"you're very beautiful.

"I'd like to talk more
about being your manager

and your photographer."

NORI: He would tell you,
"you're beautiful.

I could see you modeling."

That meant a lot to me.

- I was very excited
when he approached me.

I was 19. I was young.
I was naive.

And, um, so I believed him.

- And, you know, these
red flags start popping up

and you're like,
is that real or not?

And then,

of course, it was 100% real.

MARIA:
Over the course of the night,

he was definitely becoming
more anxious, more aggressive.

DAWN: "I need you to
go put the dress on."

"The dress."

OK.
"And put the heels on."

And he was like, "make sure
you have on no underwear."

- He said, "well, you need to

"do as you're told
and listen to me.

"You need to take
your shirt off.

I need to see
how you're built."

I said no.

- He would ask me about
the size of my thighs,

which I thought was
very unusual.

- So he would pull over
in parking lots

and tell me to get aggressive
with him sexually.

But that's when I would
make him so angry,

'cause I would stop and say,
"no, I'm not doing this."

And I would literally see
the veins popping out.

- He would say,
"who owns you? Christopher."

And then he'd say
"Christopher Wilder."

You know,
so I would have to repeat it.

- He told me that I just blew
the biggest opportunity

I would ever have

and that I would never work
in this town again.

- I thought it was my fault.

I wanted this.
I wanted to be a model.

This is what you have to do,
right?

- I'm very grateful
that I was not part of

or didn't know him at the time
of this rampage of his.

REPORTER: When Beth
disappeared last month,

her parents hired
private investigators

to question Wilder at
his Boynton Beach home.

By the time police got there,
Wilder too had disappeared.

BILL KENYON: You hold out hope
'cause you love 'em.

But statistics tell you that

the chance of her being alive
after five days is slim.

REPORTER: Kenyon says
he'd like police protection

for his family, but he doesn't
plan to go into hiding.

I'm nervous for every girl.
I'm nervous for you.

ANNOUNCER:
In a special live hook-up

to Australian television
from the studios of Channel 4,

Steven Wilder said his brother
was always troubled

in dealing with others,
but something he can't explain

happened to Christopher Wilder
in recent months

that made him change.

McNAB: Christopher's brother
Stephen would claim on TV

that Chris had snapped.

But in fact,
Chris had a long history

of disturbing behavior.

His father, Coley Wilder,
was an American Naval officer

during World War II.

They moved around a lot
with his service.

And then finally,
Coley retired from the Navy

and came to live in Australia
I think in the end of the '50s.

Christopher was the eldest
of four boys.

He was about 13 or 14
when he came to Australia.

He didn't adjust terribly
quickly to the high school.

He was a bit of a--
an oddity, really.

And then when he was
about 15 or 16,

he raped a young girl
he'd met at the beach.

So they bring in
a psychiatrist who says that

Wilder is
a perfectly normal person.

The psychiatrist's point
is quite interesting,

because Wilder in
his later life,

when he's rewriting
his own story, talks about

all manner of things
that happened as a child.

Remarkable allegations,

including that he'd had
electroshock therapy as a kid.

They're chasing a bloke
