1
00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:06,010
Something about this just isn't right.

2
00:00:06,370 --> 00:00:07,870
And this is what I do with women.

3
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:13,330
I've been watching this clock all night.

4
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:16,830
I use my charm, use my good looks.

5
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:19,390
It hasn't changed.

6
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:21,610
Very tall, very handsome.

7
00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:24,650
He was definitely an attractive man.

8
00:00:27,150 --> 00:00:30,730
Very nice, very well -spoken.

9
00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:33,870
I fell very much in love with Wade.

10
00:00:35,890 --> 00:00:37,970
I was going to get married to him.

11
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:40,610
I like tattoos.

12
00:00:41,410 --> 00:00:43,110
To me, it was just a tri -tip.

13
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:45,850
I almost thought I could pick them.

14
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:50,490
I guess you know what comes across my
mind.

15
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:51,910
Murder.

16
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:53,310
Just murder.

17
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:57,170
Just kill.

18
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:03,080
She's white, about 6 '2", got tattoos,
she's shirtless.

19
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:06,060
There's still some people.

20
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:09,740
Oh, there is blood all on the inside of
the passenger seat.

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,680
And I choked her out so she couldn't
breathe anymore.

22
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:16,080
I was on a rampage at this point.

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,660
We need to define Wade Wilson right
away.

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,800
It's the fucking car, man. It's Richard.
I stand here today to announce the

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,240
indictment of Wade.

26
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:33,880
Steven Wilson for the murders of
Christine Melton and Diane Louise.

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,940
This case exploded onto the social media
scene.

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,680
Wade Wilson.

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,878
Wade Wilson.

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,500
Even though he committed two brutal and
awful murders.

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,040
I was like, this doesn't give a fuck. I
was like, who cares?

32
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:54,940
I can't wait to get out. We're going to
have sex for hours.

33
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:05,780
Once in a while a case comes along where
you truly have an absolutely evil

34
00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:08,220
person, and this is one of those cases.

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,000
When I get that way, I become the devil.

36
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:42,090
It was a Sunday night, and they called
it Sunday Funday at the Buddha.

37
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:45,650
went to the Buddha on Sundays. It was
pretty much a ritual.

38
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:49,330
So me and Wade went together.

39
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:58,430
Mila Montanez, Wade's girlfriend at the
time.

40
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:04,790
I am used to kind of dating a bad boy.

41
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:10,110
Very tall, very handsome, clean cut,
except for his tattoos.

42
00:03:10,330 --> 00:03:17,130
I like tattoos, so it wasn't scary. A
lot of people would be like, oh,

43
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:19,470
that sounds scary. To me, it was just
attractive.

44
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:27,150
It was in more than maybe two or three
minutes, and I bumped into Mila.

45
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:29,130
Hey, Mila, what are you doing?

46
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:33,250
And then she introduced me to her
boyfriend, Wade.

47
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:37,640
My first impression was run.

48
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:42,460
The hair on my neck stood up. I got a
terrible feeling.

49
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:47,100
And I made a comment like, you better
take care of my girl, you know. This is

50
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:50,040
best friend. You better take care of
her. And he's like, oh, don't worry. I

51
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,040
your girl.

52
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,580
Wade always found a way to get drugs.

53
00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:58,740
Wade was like a drug sniffer dog or
something.

54
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,620
And so same with the Buddha. He walked
around, found somebody with drugs that

55
00:04:03,620 --> 00:04:04,620
interests him.

56
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:06,680
And he asked me to go with him.

57
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:09,760
And to me, that sounded like a
nightmare.

58
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360
So he keeps persisting that he wants to
go.

59
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,260
And then I start getting irritated.

60
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:18,720
No, when I really put my foot down, no.

61
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,279
I saw that he was upset.

62
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,480
Once he realized I was not going to go
do drugs with him, he needed to find

63
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,480
people that would.

64
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Then all of a sudden, I saw him leaving
for the door.

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,350
And I was like, Mila, was that your car?
And she was like, yeah. I'm like, why

66
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:40,550
aren't you in it? She's like, I don't
know. Wade just left me here.

67
00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:45,070
I don't even care anymore. I'm going to
go to sleep, get my car back in the

68
00:04:45,070 --> 00:04:46,070
morning.

69
00:04:46,530 --> 00:04:48,310
I'm totally done with this relationship.

70
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:05,940
The next morning, I woke up to thousands
of phone calls.

71
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,500
I need to find you. I need to come get
you right now.

72
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:22,080
What's chilling about it is he had just
murdered

73
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,080
somebody.

74
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:29,120
And I could tell he was starting to get
angry, aggressive, starting to call me

75
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,120
all kinds of names.

76
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:34,730
And doing his back and forth thing that
he does.

77
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:36,750
I miss you, sweetheart.

78
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,690
I'm so sorry I left without you.

79
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:48,030
So I said,

80
00:05:48,090 --> 00:05:49,130
will you just meet me at the spa?

81
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:53,870
I've got this little spa down the
street.

82
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:59,570
It's mostly couples massages and facials
and stuff like that.

83
00:06:00,799 --> 00:06:02,920
wanted to be a nurse, changed my mind.

84
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,380
So I ended up back to owning the spa.

85
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440
And so he pulls in in a car we had never
seen.

86
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:14,960
This is not her car. What is going on?

87
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,680
I never thought that he was going to
attack her in the parking lot.

88
00:06:19,220 --> 00:06:22,840
That's when he tried to grab her and
tried to pull her into the vehicle.

89
00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:25,040
This is broad daylight.

90
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,540
I just froze and I immediately called
911.

91
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,820
There's a man grabbing a woman in front
of our, in our parking lot. He has no

92
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:42,160
shirt on and he has tattoos all over his
body.

93
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,700
He grabs me by the hair and we just fall
to the ground.

94
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,400
He starts punching me, biting me. I
think he was hoping to knock me out

95
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,160
he got me really good at right.

96
00:06:56,570 --> 00:06:58,810
and the nose and blood just went
everywhere.

97
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:01,190
You could hear the sirens.

98
00:07:01,470 --> 00:07:02,830
You could hear they were coming.

99
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:06,050
Wade took off in the car.

100
00:07:06,270 --> 00:07:10,510
I was terrified. I was upset that I
didn't help.

101
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:12,010
I was scared.

102
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:13,890
What happened?

103
00:07:16,510 --> 00:07:20,470
Officer. My boyfriend beat me up right
in front of this spot.

104
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,080
My name is Tim McCormick. I was on
regular routine patrol that morning.

105
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:34,940
Her face was bloodied and swollen, and
her clothes were covered in blood.

106
00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:41,060
He got a really good punch in where when
he had to swing, he had to let go of

107
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:44,040
me. I had no choice but to think he was
going to kill me.

108
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,300
There was absolutely no emotion behind
those eyes at all.

109
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:53,690
I fell in love with the same eyes.

110
00:07:55,330 --> 00:07:57,590
Younger guys didn't interest me at all.

111
00:07:58,030 --> 00:08:00,550
He was interested in only me, it seemed.

112
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:06,410
And it wasn't too long into it that I
said we should find a house together.

113
00:08:06,650 --> 00:08:09,070
And so we eventually moved in together.

114
00:08:10,670 --> 00:08:12,910
I really thought that he might be the
one.

115
00:08:14,110 --> 00:08:17,010
I couldn't imagine things going so
south.

116
00:08:20,169 --> 00:08:22,890
Bike 5, I'm at Joe's Crab Shack in the
parking lot.

117
00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:29,190
Amy lured him back so that we had a
chance to apprehend him. She said he was

118
00:08:29,190 --> 00:08:31,750
the parking lot at Joe's Crab Shack
across from the spa.

119
00:08:33,230 --> 00:08:37,230
I was surprised he was there, period.

120
00:08:38,929 --> 00:08:41,309
Because a pretty stupid move on his
part.

121
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:42,590
Copy, I'm 10 -12.

122
00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:48,410
I'll explain to you when my partner gets
here, okay?

123
00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:52,490
Yeah.

124
00:08:54,010 --> 00:08:55,010
Hmm?

125
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:57,770
About this morning.

126
00:08:59,670 --> 00:09:00,670
Hmm?

127
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:08,210
I knew the conversation wasn't going to
go well because he wouldn't roll his

128
00:09:08,210 --> 00:09:11,330
window down past, I don't know, three
inches.

129
00:09:11,650 --> 00:09:12,609
Is the car running?

130
00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:14,670
Shut the car off for me. It's off.

131
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:17,590
I'm going to detain you.

132
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,580
until I figure out what exactly is going
on.

133
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:26,180
Wait,

134
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,160
you don't want any trouble from me.

135
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,980
Okay, yeah, that's what I'm saying. So
I'm going to have you step out of the

136
00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:36,140
car, and I'm going to detain you.

137
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Not arrest.

138
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:40,120
Detain you right now.

139
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:44,700
Okay? And I can't have any problems. You
understand me?

140
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,120
His nonverbal cues were...

141
00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:51,630
basically stating that he wanted nothing
to do with discussing the situation

142
00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:52,630
with me.

143
00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:55,970
Carotid artery was going at, you know,
100 miles a minute.

144
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:58,890
No.

145
00:09:59,510 --> 00:10:04,090
I have to detain you. By our procedures,
I have to detain you.

146
00:10:04,990 --> 00:10:08,370
Hmm? Because of the battery this
morning.

147
00:10:10,290 --> 00:10:11,710
There wasn't any battery?

148
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:15,890
That's when I think he made the decision
that...

149
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,400
It was time for him to get out of the
situation.

150
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,120
Relax.

151
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,020
Let me see the keys to the car.

152
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:26,420
Let me see the keys to the car.

153
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:28,220
Keys.

154
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,800
Keys.

155
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:37,240
Wait, we're not going to have any
problems.

156
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:39,200
Just give me the keys to the car.

157
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:48,990
Wade? Just

158
00:10:48,990 --> 00:10:55,790
wait till

159
00:10:55,790 --> 00:10:57,210
my partner gets here.

160
00:10:59,730 --> 00:11:02,210
L -4 -1, gonna need a couple more units.

161
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:03,830
Don't go anywhere!

162
00:11:04,170 --> 00:11:05,170
Hey!

163
00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:19,670
Just ran a stop sign going up towards
McGregor.

164
00:11:23,690 --> 00:11:24,770
What's the vehicle description?

165
00:11:26,370 --> 00:11:27,810
Black Nissan Versa.

166
00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:29,970
I'm off of him.

167
00:11:31,370 --> 00:11:34,750
Alpha 8, we're off of him. I'm just
looking to see if he's in the area.

168
00:11:36,450 --> 00:11:41,370
The reason we didn't pursue him or go
after him, we had misdemeanor battery as

169
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:44,530
charge, plus policy and procedure.

170
00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:47,520
with the police department is we don't
pursue.

171
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:57,700
Wade kept calling me persistently after
that.

172
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:11,250
I just want to kiss you on the forehead
and tell you what I had done.

173
00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:14,610
And Mila, I wasn't trying to hurt you. I
was just trying to get you in the car.

174
00:12:14,730 --> 00:12:15,990
Why weren't you not cooperating?

175
00:12:16,390 --> 00:12:19,110
Why wouldn't you just get in the car?
Why did you make me hit you?

176
00:12:21,790 --> 00:12:28,490
Nobody was taking it as serious as they
should have,

177
00:12:28,630 --> 00:12:33,650
but also nobody knew what had just
happened and what was about to happen.

178
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:40,600
I have a feeling that she's in this car.

179
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,220
911, what is your emergency?

180
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,580
I have a very unstable...

181
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,940
Man at my office.

182
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:08,900
The gentleman's name is Wade. Wade
something.

183
00:13:09,140 --> 00:13:10,140
How did he arrive?

184
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:14,280
In a black car, in a black little four
-door car, Nissan car.

185
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:21,320
He's got tattoos. He's shirtless. He
killed some people, and he just hurt a

186
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,060
girl. Is he white, black, or Hispanic?

187
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,720
He's white. He's about 6 '2". He has
tattoos.

188
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,780
He's not wearing a shirt right now.

189
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:30,160
About how old is he?

190
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:33,460
I would say 25.

191
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,480
Okay, do not approach the person.

192
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,980
An officer will be dispatched as soon as
possible.

193
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:40,980
Okay,

194
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,980
they're on. Are you the caller? Are you
the caller? Okay.

195
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,140
They received a telephone call from a
gentleman by the name of Joshua Lukich

196
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:51,240
from Mateos Graphics.

197
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Wade Steven Wilson, that's the guy I
think. Okay. How do you know Wade?

198
00:13:56,820 --> 00:13:59,580
He's just a friend of a friend. He was
here.

199
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,700
And talked about how she killed somebody
last night and stole her car.

200
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,860
And stole her car?

201
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,580
Stole a car. I don't know.

202
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,320
That's it. Gotcha. Okay.

203
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,660
We do have a Nissan in the back.

204
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,680
Car's lost.

205
00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:19,540
There is a blood drip on the grill.

206
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,860
When they arrive, they look into the car
and they see that there is some blood

207
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:27,920
on the inside of the vehicle.

208
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:29,300
See that?

209
00:14:30,830 --> 00:14:32,150
Wait, go back to what you said.

210
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:33,249
These little drips?

211
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:34,270
You don't think that's coffee?

212
00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:35,590
I don't think so.

213
00:14:35,730 --> 00:14:40,990
They ran the tag of that car, and they
saw it belonged to Christine Melton.

214
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:47,490
Christine Melton was a 35 -year -old
young lady who was, she was a waitress.

215
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:51,310
had just come down from the state of
Illinois with her family.

216
00:14:51,630 --> 00:14:54,870
She had a cat named Monty that she was
very fond of.

217
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:59,570
And they just, everybody had nothing but
nice things really to say about

218
00:14:59,570 --> 00:15:00,570
Christine.

219
00:15:03,020 --> 00:15:05,160
I have a feeling that he's in this car.

220
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,840
They went ahead and broke the driver's
side window.

221
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:14,500
Oh, there is blood all on the inside of
the passenger seat.

222
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:16,360
Pop that phone. Nothing?

223
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Nope.

224
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,780
We need to define Christine Melton right
away.

225
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,740
I am Trish Bell. I was the lead
detective in the Wade Wilson case.

226
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,440
We called her emergency contact, who put
us in contact with her best friend,

227
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,480
Stephanie Johnson.

228
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:44,780
They had gone out that night to the
Buddha Bar.

229
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:53,720
They met a gentleman or a man. They
identified himself as J .R.

230
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,780
She identified him as Wade Wilson from a
photo lineup.

231
00:15:58,830 --> 00:16:03,290
They had left the bar with J .R. and
that had eventually gone back to her

232
00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:05,410
It was around 5 in the morning.

233
00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:10,610
Stephanie left in her car, and so it
left Christine Melton and Wade Wilson

234
00:16:10,610 --> 00:16:12,330
alone, alive and well.

235
00:16:15,690 --> 00:16:20,010
We had officers that were at her house
break the door and go inside, and that's

236
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:21,010
when we located her.

237
00:16:22,670 --> 00:16:26,310
She was discovered wrapped in some
blankets and bedding.

238
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:29,600
You really couldn't see her, but you
could tell there was like a body in the

239
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,300
hallway exiting her bedroom.

240
00:16:32,140 --> 00:16:37,120
He choked her out and killed her by
asphyxiation, and then possibly after

241
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,140
death, he sexually assaulted her with
objects that he found within the home.

242
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:46,040
Wade Wilson was in a rage for that day,
and we didn't think he was going to

243
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,040
stop.

244
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,960
Right after it happened, I was
interrogated. I didn't even know that he

245
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,020
home with a girl at that time.

246
00:16:54,410 --> 00:16:59,150
I just thought he stole my car with the
guy he was going to go do drugs with.

247
00:17:02,630 --> 00:17:04,970
I was

248
00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:15,050
so

249
00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:22,010
tired. I was still hurt. My nose

250
00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:23,010
was still bleeding.

251
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:26,510
Every time I would cry, my nose started
bleeding again.

252
00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:29,310
Now, Wade.

253
00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:30,910
Wade. Wade Stephen Wilson.

254
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:33,790
Wade Stephen Wilson. Mm -hmm.

255
00:17:34,750 --> 00:17:36,010
5 -20 -94.

256
00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:41,270
How do you know Wade? How long have you
known him? Boyfriend, six months.

257
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:42,710
Boyfriend, six months.

258
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:46,450
He's been in jail, incarcerated three
and a half years.

259
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:48,650
Here in Lake County?

260
00:17:48,890 --> 00:17:52,030
Um... He beat me up, and I put him in
jail here.

261
00:17:52,510 --> 00:17:56,930
And then I didn't want to go through the
court, so I dropped the charges.

262
00:17:57,850 --> 00:18:00,210
He's been in and out of jail his whole
life.

263
00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:06,370
He had a rape in Tallahassee that a jury
found him not guilty.

264
00:18:07,210 --> 00:18:10,250
Beating and everything, brutal
kidnapping, all that.

265
00:18:10,510 --> 00:18:12,410
I almost thought I could fix him.

266
00:18:13,470 --> 00:18:18,130
One time, he grabbed me by the hair and
started banging my head against the

267
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,130
headboard.

268
00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:25,090
He drug me into the shower, turned the
shower on, and continued to beat me

269
00:18:25,090 --> 00:18:30,790
the shower. And then he just sat on the
toilet and kind of just watched me.

270
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,750
Almost like a demon took over him and
then left.

271
00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:39,650
Has he ever shown any infatuation on
killing people?

272
00:18:39,890 --> 00:18:42,610
Has he ever? Oh, yeah. He talks about it
all the time.

273
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:44,430
I just thought he was bullshitting.

274
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:46,340
Like normal guys do.

275
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,360
Has he ever said how he wants to kill
people or how he's killed people before?

276
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,840
Shooting, stabbing, choking.

277
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:56,180
Oh, yeah, like neck,

278
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,800
throat, stuff like that. He'll say,
like, just, see, it's weird that I never

279
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,900
even believed him.

280
00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:09,160
Like, he would just say random stuff
like that. I never heard him talk about

281
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,980
guns much, but knives I've heard him
talk about.

282
00:19:13,290 --> 00:19:16,830
What does he say? Like slashing people's
throat or something like that. He said

283
00:19:16,830 --> 00:19:21,730
he has done it before and he wants to do
it. He said in one incident, like, I

284
00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:25,870
guess he slashed over here and here and
threw him in a lake and let, like, no

285
00:19:25,870 --> 00:19:27,470
body, no crime is kind of what he said.

286
00:19:27,670 --> 00:19:30,770
He said he cut someone from here to here
and put him in a lake or something.

287
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:36,650
Apparently he was in a gay relationship
in Marathon with this guy and then he

288
00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:38,770
would try to kill him too, like stab him
or something.

289
00:19:39,660 --> 00:19:42,560
I feel so horrible. If I wouldn't have
picked him up from jail, none of this

290
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,559
would have happened.

291
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,160
I hope nobody's dead on my hands like
this. This is horrible.

292
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,880
Everybody told me, Mila, if you let him
out of jail, he's going to kill you or

293
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,880
some other girl.

294
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:53,860
This is horrible.

295
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,300
I kept asking, so we don't know if this
girl's okay or not yet.

296
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,320
But I'm going to be straight up and
honest with you. We do have a body.

297
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,760
My gosh, stop it. This is a homicide.
Are you really serious?

298
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:06,100
Is it that girl?

299
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,959
We don't know.

300
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,960
We don't know.

301
00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:11,400
So we do need to take the phone. Okay.

302
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,940
So just stand by for a second.

303
00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:22,800
Okay. The whole

304
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:29,600
thing just kind of really hit me. That
just surreal to

305
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,360
be able to absorb that somebody you were
in love with was capable of doing

306
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:36,360
anything like that.

307
00:20:41,550 --> 00:20:44,490
If I wouldn't have went and got him,
this would have never happened.

308
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:47,330
You can't blame that on me, okay?

309
00:20:48,110 --> 00:20:51,150
Because, obviously, you said he was on
drugs.

310
00:20:53,810 --> 00:20:55,470
You cannot, I mean, you can't.

311
00:20:55,730 --> 00:20:59,010
Everybody told me this would happen if I
let him out of jail. He'd kill

312
00:20:59,010 --> 00:21:00,010
somebody.

313
00:21:00,930 --> 00:21:02,270
I just didn't believe it.

314
00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:09,890
Have you found Wade yet?

315
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:32,800
9 -1 -1, what is your emergency?

316
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,500
I would like to file a missing person
report.

317
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,440
Right around the same time, there was a
missing person report.

318
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:46,300
She was walking to work, okay, and never
made it to work.

319
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:49,980
Her purse was found, and she is nowhere
to be found.

320
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,220
Okay, and who is that to you?

321
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,060
That is my fiancé.

322
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,760
Which ended up to be Diane Ruiz.

323
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Is it possible for these two to be
connected? Did Wade Wilson do something

324
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,520
this woman, too?

325
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:06,400
She hadn't returned home, and that was
out of the ordinary.

326
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:08,940
Her phone is not in her purse.

327
00:22:09,530 --> 00:22:14,190
that they found, and I've called it
numerous times, and it goes straight to

328
00:22:14,190 --> 00:22:16,750
voicemail. Okay, we're going to get an
officer to you, okay?

329
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:18,250
Thank you very much.

330
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:23,030
My name is Nicholas Jones. I'm a
detective with the Cape Coral Police

331
00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:28,330
Department, and I was assigned to the
Diane Ruiz missing person case.

332
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:36,510
So I kind of left Detective Bell with
the rest of our violent crimes

333
00:22:36,510 --> 00:22:40,040
unit. and started this missing person
investigation.

334
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:49,040
Diane, I think loyal would be a good
description of her. She was very close

335
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,060
her fiancé, was a wonderful mom. She had
a son and a daughter.

336
00:22:53,660 --> 00:22:59,760
And she worked at the Moose Lodge and
was a bartender there, had lots of

337
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,760
friends.

338
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,820
She was very close to work. She lived
very close from her house to work. It

339
00:23:04,820 --> 00:23:09,480
a short walk, and where her purse was
found was on that path.

340
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:17,600
We were waiting for some search dogs and
aviation unit with the sheriff's office

341
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,180
to come help search a wooded area where
her purse was located.

342
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:28,600
There was never a night where we didn't
kiss each other goodnight, and I'm

343
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,760
missing that right now.

344
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,840
Diane Ruiz's family are still reeling
from the sudden disappearance of the 43

345
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,180
-year -old woman, and her son, Brandon
Quaylar, wants the nightmare to be over.

346
00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:41,600
I want my mother to come home. That's my
mother.

347
00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:48,760
I was sitting in the car, and I got an
email from the phone company with Diane

348
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,900
Ruiz's phone records.

349
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:54,900
I noticed that there were two phone
calls that were made right after she had

350
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:55,900
gone missing.

351
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:58,240
I recognized the phone number.

352
00:23:58,570 --> 00:24:01,970
of Wade Wilson's girlfriend, Mila.

353
00:24:02,910 --> 00:24:04,950
We knew that Wade had Diane's phone.

354
00:24:06,090 --> 00:24:09,850
So that just made us believe even
stronger that he had killed her as well.

355
00:24:10,450 --> 00:24:15,610
My heart kind of just sank that we now
have a second death investigation.

356
00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:19,330
It's Christine Melton, Diane Ruiz.

357
00:24:19,930 --> 00:24:23,310
I think he was just frantic on a
murdering high.

358
00:24:25,010 --> 00:24:26,930
So in the sequence of events...

359
00:24:27,130 --> 00:24:29,290
He leaves Melton's house at 7 .10.

360
00:24:33,230 --> 00:24:36,510
He batters Mila at almost 9 a .m.

361
00:24:39,670 --> 00:24:42,190
And then Diane Ruiz at 9 .45.

362
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:47,650
He's just a psychopath killer that likes
to harm women.

363
00:24:50,490 --> 00:24:54,030
We needed to find Wade Wilson right
away.

364
00:24:54,730 --> 00:24:57,050
All butts are off. Everybody's involved.

365
00:24:57,430 --> 00:25:00,310
Multiple agencies trying to locate him.

366
00:25:01,730 --> 00:25:06,090
We made contact with his bio father,
Dean Testaseca.

367
00:25:07,050 --> 00:25:08,810
She said, do you know where he's at?

368
00:25:09,070 --> 00:25:11,190
And I said, no, I don't know where he's
at.

369
00:25:11,410 --> 00:25:13,410
And she said, have you heard from him?

370
00:25:14,110 --> 00:25:18,610
I said, yeah. He said that he received a
call from Wade and he was acting almost

371
00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:19,690
boastful and proud.

372
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:24,050
And I'm hearing this man that I created,
helped create.

373
00:25:26,649 --> 00:25:33,550
telling me the details of all these
things with joy in his voice. You

374
00:25:33,550 --> 00:25:36,190
know, it made me want to throw up.

375
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:43,450
He said that he killed two women and
that he was hiding in a house close to

376
00:25:43,450 --> 00:25:44,690
where he had ran from us originally.

377
00:25:45,690 --> 00:25:48,370
He's like, Dad, I need you to come get
me.

378
00:25:48,690 --> 00:25:51,830
I mean, I said, listen, you got to tell
me what's going on.

379
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:54,680
He started from the top.

380
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:03,300
Just the details that he went into about
Christine, they had sex, and she fell

381
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:07,760
asleep on the bed, got on top of her,
and choked her to death.

382
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:14,780
I hadn't even heard about Diane's
situation yet, but just the details that

383
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:19,480
went into about Christine, you know,
rolling her up in the bedding and tying

384
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,480
up.

385
00:26:20,860 --> 00:26:25,520
dragging her down, trying to get her to
the car, but he couldn't. She was too

386
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,980
heavy, you know.

387
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:35,060
Hearing him describe those things to me,
it just, I can't explain that feeling,

388
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040
you know, from your kid, you know, your
son.

389
00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:48,100
I knew Wade's mom. She got pregnant.

390
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:50,680
I was 15, she was 14.

391
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:57,180
And then I got in some trouble, and I
ended up doing eight months in a

392
00:26:57,180 --> 00:27:03,960
program. And I got a legal document
saying that she

393
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,540
was putting him up for adoption.

394
00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:08,620
I couldn't do anything about it.

395
00:27:09,180 --> 00:27:13,380
All I could think about, just that
innocent kid, you know.

396
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,700
And I just was, in my mind was like, how
did we get here?

397
00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:23,040
You know what I mean? How did we get
here? Because he wasn't raised like

398
00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:28,980
His adoptive family, they're solid
people, good people, hardworking, honest

399
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,060
Christian people.

400
00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:37,220
This is his son, and he loves him, but
he's already admitting that he's killed

401
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:40,620
two women, and he's afraid of what more
would happen if he didn't call us. I

402
00:27:40,620 --> 00:27:43,100
knew he enjoyed it.

403
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:47,640
I knew he wanted me to feel.

404
00:27:48,190 --> 00:27:52,650
I don't even think intentionally he
wanted me to feel his excitement.

405
00:27:53,290 --> 00:27:58,790
I just feel like he just was so amped up
talking about it. I don't want to say

406
00:27:58,790 --> 00:28:00,530
joy, just adrenaline maybe.

407
00:28:00,730 --> 00:28:02,330
You know, he wanted me to feel that.

408
00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:08,390
He cooperated and ultimately got Wade
Wilson, said he would send him an Uber,

409
00:28:08,530 --> 00:28:12,430
and that's how he got the address to
where Wade Wilson was located.

410
00:28:13,930 --> 00:28:17,030
All right, bud. I'm going to go do that.
Okay, that's cool. Come on in,

411
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:18,030
everybody.

412
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:21,920
Wade Wilson came out of the house and
surrendered to law enforcement without

413
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:22,920
incident.

414
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:28,720
It's a hard decision, I promise you. And
it's the worst decision I've ever had

415
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:35,480
to make. I don't care what anybody

416
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,840
says. It doesn't bother me because I
know in my heart that.

417
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:40,310
I did the right thing.

418
00:28:40,570 --> 00:28:41,990
You know, I made the right choice.

419
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:45,710
Now,

420
00:28:54,570 --> 00:29:01,030
the

421
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:06,250
question then became was how we were
going to put this together and what we

422
00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:08,430
needed in order to have a successful
prosecution.

423
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,880
It was probably 12 .30, 1 o 'clock.

424
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:18,200
He starts by asking me to take off his
handcuffs. He says he'll tell me

425
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,200
I want to know.

426
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,100
And I declined that offer.

427
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:27,120
I think he would have tried to escape.

428
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,080
I do

429
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:39,780
believe that he probably

430
00:29:39,780 --> 00:29:41,380
would have...

431
00:29:41,630 --> 00:29:45,030
attempted to do something if he got his
cuffs off. He just murdered two women.

432
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:48,230
I'm another woman in the room with him.

433
00:29:49,170 --> 00:29:50,450
You have the right to remain silent.

434
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:53,890
Anything you say can be used against you
in court. You have the right to talk to

435
00:29:53,890 --> 00:29:58,230
a lawyer for advice before we ask you
any questions and have him with you

436
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:00,590
questions. Do you understand each of
these rights that I've explained to you?

437
00:30:01,890 --> 00:30:02,890
All right.

438
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:04,950
Do you have any idea why you're here?

439
00:30:05,790 --> 00:30:06,790
No.

440
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:07,870
Okay.

441
00:30:08,730 --> 00:30:09,730
All right.

442
00:30:33,310 --> 00:30:35,710
Throughout the interview, he tries to
control the interview.

443
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,580
He always thinks he's the smartest
person in the room. He thinks that he's

444
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:45,340
to get one up on you. He thinks he's
charming and that he can charm any

445
00:30:45,980 --> 00:30:52,740
Well, there was a disturbance between
you and your girlfriend today,

446
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,920
right? This morning.

447
00:30:55,340 --> 00:30:57,020
Are you saying right or are you telling
me?

448
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,080
I'm not. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not
answering your type of questions. I'm

449
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,380
curious what I mean. Okay, so former
police department says that you had a

450
00:31:06,380 --> 00:31:07,940
disturbance with your girlfriend today.

451
00:31:08,620 --> 00:31:11,380
And an officer made contact with you.

452
00:31:11,780 --> 00:31:12,780
Hey.

453
00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:15,800
Outside of Judge Kravchuk.

454
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:21,900
And that encounter didn't go very well
and you left. You're the jury.

455
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:24,220
He does have a presence about him.

456
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:28,320
It's almost like when you're watching a
scary movie and you're just waiting for

457
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,299
something to happen.

458
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:31,540
And that's kind of how I felt through
the whole interview.

459
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:38,240
So that car that you were in that was
left at, who did that car belong to?

460
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:42,520
Some chick I had met that she let me use
it.

461
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:44,020
Where did you meet that chick?

462
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:45,580
At the bar.

463
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,600
At what bar?

464
00:31:47,540 --> 00:31:50,000
So you met this female, do you remember
her name?

465
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,180
Not at all. No. Not at all.

466
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:56,440
I think we knew her. Maybe we spent time
with her.

467
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Don't know her.

468
00:31:58,880 --> 00:31:59,920
Don't know where she's at.

469
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:01,140
Don't know where she's going.

470
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:03,320
And don't really care.

471
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Not my friend.

472
00:32:05,580 --> 00:32:06,660
Not an acquaintance.

473
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:09,220
Don't even know her name.

474
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,540
Is this the girl that you were, that you
hooked up with last night? The party

475
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,980
girl? I don't really know her. She only
looked like it.

476
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,540
That's when you say you hooked up. You
had sex with her.

477
00:32:20,060 --> 00:32:21,060
Yeah.

478
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,620
He was a difficult interviewer. There
was a lot of patience in that interview.

479
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,520
So, here's the thing.

480
00:32:30,940 --> 00:32:32,420
You might as well just get right to it.

481
00:32:32,940 --> 00:32:34,380
This is what I like. Okay.

482
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:39,360
A car was left there, right? We can't
find her.

483
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,820
We can't get a hold of her. We can't
find her.

484
00:32:43,780 --> 00:32:45,380
Okay. So we went to her house.

485
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:48,280
Okay. She didn't know what we found when
we got to her house?

486
00:32:49,020 --> 00:32:50,020
She's dead.

487
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,000
You mean she's dead?

488
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,200
Mm -hmm.

489
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,440
At her house?

490
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,560
At her house.

491
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,080
Okay.

492
00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:01,740
Okay. Yeah. What, did you find her dead?

493
00:33:02,060 --> 00:33:03,920
Huh? You found her dead? Yes, I did.

494
00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:05,180
Did you find her?

495
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,680
I didn't find her when I was there.

496
00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:08,759
You didn't?

497
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,760
No.

498
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:13,080
You were on the coast there, huh? I
didn't have her, I'm sorry.

499
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,280
I know.

500
00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:17,180
That's unfortunate.

501
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,119
Very unfortunate.

502
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,500
I hate to do that about anybody.

503
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:23,840
So, that's what we're talking about.

504
00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:27,380
Okay. No, that's not what we're talking
about. That's what I'm here to talk

505
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:31,500
about. Because I know nothing of that.

506
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,380
I interviewed Wade Wilson for a couple
hours.

507
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,260
It could have gone longer, but he wasn't
going to give me any more information.

508
00:33:42,060 --> 00:33:46,460
And then we executed a search warrant
for his DNA, and we took some pictures

509
00:33:46,460 --> 00:33:49,080
him looking for injuries and stuff like
that.

510
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,300
At the same time, I'm still looking for
Diane Ruiz.

511
00:33:56,860 --> 00:34:01,320
I didn't know where she was.

512
00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:06,380
Tonight,

513
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,020
continuing coverage of the disappearance
of Diane Ruiz and the death

514
00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:19,760
investigation of Christine Melton.

515
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,420
Friends and family prayed for Diane
Ruiz's safe return.

516
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:28,600
A lot of man hours and time is being put
into both of these, and they're both

517
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,639
being taken very seriously.

518
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:32,639
And we've also used outside resources.

519
00:34:33,260 --> 00:34:38,820
It is really chilling to see him, you
know, just knowing he was right in front

520
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:39,518
of my house.

521
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Abbott says his home security footage
shows the black Nissan police were

522
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,840
for speeding down his street.

523
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:50,699
Kind of the scary thing, you don't know
if the body was in there.

524
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:57,280
We had search parties out. We were
searching any wooded area in

525
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:03,260
that vicinity of where her cell phone
was pinging, any vacant homes, anywhere

526
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:05,540
that hide a body.

527
00:35:07,260 --> 00:35:13,620
It was two days after he was arrested, I
got a call from that same detective.

528
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,560
She asked me, she said, do you think
that Wade would talk to you?

529
00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:23,800
And I said, yeah, I think he'll talk to
me.

530
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:29,740
And I asked her why, and she said, you
know, we're searching for Diane's body,

531
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,160
and we can't find her.

532
00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:35,760
So the next day, I went in to visit him.

533
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,220
At that time, he was in a suicide suit.

534
00:35:43,780 --> 00:35:49,040
He had threatened to commit suicide
while over there. It's a large green

535
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,900
that goes over your head and shoulders.

536
00:35:51,220 --> 00:35:56,120
We call it a turtle suit because it
does, it looks like, you know, someone

537
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,180
turtle shell, basically.

538
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,060
He

539
00:35:59,060 --> 00:36:06,540
looked

540
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:07,600
at me and he said,

541
00:36:08,839 --> 00:36:09,839
Dad,

542
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,580
did you turn me in?

543
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,000
They said you called them?

544
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,540
Yeah. Is it? What do you think?

545
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:17,980
Yeah. Yeah.

546
00:36:18,220 --> 00:36:19,620
Yeah. All right.

547
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,460
How do you feel about that?

548
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:22,740
Bad. Why?

549
00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:25,520
Because why would you want me here? You
know I'm going to be here.

550
00:36:26,260 --> 00:36:27,660
Wait, son. Listen to me.

551
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,480
Listen to me.

552
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,100
I waited as long as I waited to come and
see you for a reason.

553
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,800
Yeah. Because I needed your mind to
clear out.

554
00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:37,260
Yeah.

555
00:36:37,340 --> 00:36:38,340
Okay.

556
00:36:38,730 --> 00:36:42,030
I love you more than anything on this
fucking earth. Yeah.

557
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:45,370
And I'm going to be honest with you,
son.

558
00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:52,150
You broke my heart.

559
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,190
Yeah. When I say that to you.

560
00:36:54,430 --> 00:36:55,750
Hey, what did my real mom say?

561
00:36:57,330 --> 00:37:01,530
Well, she's in a bad place already.

562
00:37:01,790 --> 00:37:03,490
Yeah. But she's devastated.

563
00:37:04,610 --> 00:37:06,590
What I'm saying to you is this. What?

564
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:07,960
What I'm saying here is this.

565
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,440
You're not a dummy, okay?

566
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,740
You're not a dummy, goddammit.

567
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,520
The end.

568
00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:17,860
The end.

569
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:25,040
You know, everybody in this goddamn
state put that. Everybody in this state.

570
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:27,900
Everybody in this state thinks you're a
monster.

571
00:37:28,540 --> 00:37:29,540
Yeah, I know.

572
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,680
Yes, yes, you did some monster shit.

573
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,120
Yeah.

574
00:37:35,180 --> 00:37:37,140
Did they put the story on the news or
anything?

575
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,100
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, it's on the news.
Yeah.

576
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:46,300
It's on the news. You know, they
reported, you know, the first girl and

577
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:47,300
that. Yeah.

578
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:54,840
The second one is all over the news.
But, you know, they

579
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,260
haven't named you.

580
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,820
I said, listen, you know, the second
woman.

581
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
I said, you know she has two kids,
right?

582
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:11,220
I want

583
00:38:11,220 --> 00:38:16,320
my mother to come home.

584
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:17,540
That's my mother.

585
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,520
Was that just Ryan and his bug?

586
00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:37,680
Yeah. Yeah, they knew it. They knew it
was.

587
00:38:38,340 --> 00:38:41,680
You know, he lost his goddamn mind.

588
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,340
Yeah, he was like, okay, he lost his
mind, son.

589
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,100
And I know you'll get me back, but
you've got to fix it. And my biggest

590
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:56,380
with you, my biggest fear was that you
were going to lose it and go on a

591
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:59,300
rampage. And I just about did. I know.

592
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:01,720
He had tears in his eyes.

593
00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:03,570
And he said, well, what do I do?

594
00:39:04,450 --> 00:39:05,830
I said, you tell the truth, son.

595
00:39:06,670 --> 00:39:07,970
I said, you tell the truth.

596
00:39:08,350 --> 00:39:11,570
Yeah, I've got a lot of detectives
trying to come and talk to me. I know.

597
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:12,850
Yeah, I know that.

598
00:39:13,570 --> 00:39:14,970
But listen to me, son.

599
00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:16,530
We've got to fix it.

600
00:39:17,410 --> 00:39:19,550
Why do you want me to fix it? We've got
to fix it, son.

601
00:39:20,010 --> 00:39:23,710
There's a 15 -year -old boy that's
missing his fucking mom right now.

602
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:28,190
Yeah. Who is about to fucking lose his
shit because he's not waiting on his

603
00:39:28,190 --> 00:39:30,330
fucking mom to walk back in that door.
Yeah.

604
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:31,910
Was that a fix -it?

605
00:39:33,210 --> 00:39:37,450
He asked me, you know, will you tell the
detectives to come talk to me?

606
00:39:38,350 --> 00:39:39,590
And I'll tell them the truth.

607
00:39:41,050 --> 00:39:46,370
So, I mean, it's been three days, but...
Well, I'll be able to... What we're

608
00:39:46,370 --> 00:39:49,750
talking about, I'll be able to show
them, but it's going to take me a minute

609
00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:54,710
because I don't know the area. I just
know where I went, you know what I mean?

610
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:58,350
I'll be able to figure it out. I'll be
able to figure it out. I just have to

611
00:39:58,350 --> 00:40:01,370
have them bring me one place, and then I
can find the place on that place.

612
00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:04,430
Is she far from the curse?

613
00:40:05,370 --> 00:40:11,470
Uh, no. No, no. No, no. Well, they're...
Listen to me. Here's the thing. Listen

614
00:40:11,470 --> 00:40:12,470
to me.

615
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:13,810
They're gonna find her.

616
00:40:14,070 --> 00:40:20,970
Okay, so for you, for you, to just say,
you know what? I'm a grown -ass man, and

617
00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:22,750
I fucked up, and...

618
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,100
Diane Ruiz's cell phone had pinged off
of cell towers in this area. So we

619
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:45,820
concentrated our search for a couple of
days without any luck. And then we had

620
00:40:45,820 --> 00:40:50,460
two of our officers were eating lunch in
the vacant field over here.

621
00:40:51,020 --> 00:40:54,780
And while they were eating lunch, they
noticed that there was a buzzard flying

622
00:40:54,780 --> 00:41:01,360
around, and they watched that buzzard
drop down into the vacant field behind

623
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,820
And they went and took a look, and sure
enough, that's when they found Diane

624
00:41:05,820 --> 00:41:06,860
Ruiz in the bushes.

625
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:14,360
Her pants had been partially removed
from her body, and she was in stages of

626
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,300
decomposition from being there for a
couple of days.

627
00:41:19,790 --> 00:41:25,030
It was probably two hours into the scene
now that I get a phone call from the

628
00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:31,750
Lee County Sheriff's Office telling me
that, hey, Wade Wilson asked for you to

629
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:33,330
come over here. He wants to talk to you.

630
00:41:34,930 --> 00:41:41,370
He didn't know at that point that I or
we had already found Diane Ruiz, so I

631
00:41:41,370 --> 00:41:42,370
just played along.

632
00:41:43,110 --> 00:41:45,370
You ready to take a ride? Let's go take
a ride.

633
00:41:45,630 --> 00:41:46,630
You want to take a ride?

634
00:41:47,589 --> 00:41:53,490
So the very first thing that he had told
me was that he wanted me to provide him

635
00:41:53,490 --> 00:42:00,470
with a hamburger and french fries, and
he would in turn show me where

636
00:42:00,470 --> 00:42:02,010
Diane Ruiz was located.

637
00:42:02,350 --> 00:42:05,170
Give me some french fries and a burger,
and I'm going to take you right where

638
00:42:05,170 --> 00:42:06,109
you want to go.

639
00:42:06,110 --> 00:42:08,690
That's all I want, bro. I'm not going to
have one for a long time.

640
00:42:08,970 --> 00:42:11,430
I got to ask you a question about that.
I'm going to find out the total line

641
00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:12,430
-up, so I'm going to ask.

642
00:42:12,850 --> 00:42:13,870
But I'm going to do it anyway.

643
00:42:14,590 --> 00:42:16,050
You really think we deserve that?

644
00:42:16,570 --> 00:42:18,070
No, no, I don't deserve it.

645
00:42:19,830 --> 00:42:22,010
I'll do the right thing. I'll show you
right where it's at.

646
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:27,090
I knew that that wasn't going to happen,
but I didn't want to tell him that at

647
00:42:27,090 --> 00:42:31,790
first. I wanted to find out more, you
know, details, like I said, about what

648
00:42:31,790 --> 00:42:33,090
actually happened.

649
00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:39,010
The truth is I picked the girl up and I
killed her.

650
00:42:39,970 --> 00:42:44,470
I choked her out until she couldn't
breathe anymore, and she was still

651
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:45,790
and I pushed her out of the car.

652
00:42:46,220 --> 00:42:50,780
And she tried to get up, and I ran her
over with the car. And I ran her over

653
00:42:50,780 --> 00:42:54,640
maybe like 10 times, 10, 20 times, her
head, her body. I ran it over with the

654
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,180
vehicle until she was not moving
anymore.

655
00:42:57,580 --> 00:42:58,740
Everything was just a smear.

656
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,660
Her whole body, and she couldn't get up.
She was dead for sure.

657
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,340
He said in his confession he was looking
for someone.

658
00:43:08,580 --> 00:43:11,620
And when he saw her, he said, oh, that's
her. I'm going to get her. I'm going to

659
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:12,598
kill her.

660
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,920
I was just honestly having a random
drive.

661
00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:18,720
and I saw her walking down the road, and
the school's right here.

662
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,240
I put the window down and said, hey, do
you know where the high school is or

663
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:23,240
where the school is at?

664
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:24,340
Can you show me?

665
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,520
So she got in the car.

666
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:27,340
That's all it took. That's all it took.

667
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:28,980
Did I rape her?

668
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,280
No.

669
00:43:30,380 --> 00:43:35,260
I know you're curious about that. I used
my charm to get her in the car, and we

670
00:43:35,260 --> 00:43:36,460
had sex, consensual.

671
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:38,500
And this is what I do with women, you
know.

672
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,080
I use my charm, use my good looks.

673
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,140
That's what I did with the first girl.

674
00:43:44,650 --> 00:43:47,150
That's how I got her into her bed, and
look what happened to her.

675
00:43:47,450 --> 00:43:49,130
Same story, same story for this.

676
00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:55,730
I'm so crazy when I'm on drugs. It's
just like a rage overcomes me, and I

677
00:43:55,730 --> 00:43:59,370
think correctly. I'm not thinking
properly, and I just, I guess you know

678
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:03,650
comes across my mind is murder, just
murder, murder, just kill, kill, kill.

679
00:44:04,230 --> 00:44:06,090
When I get that way, I become the devil.

680
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:10,450
Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you so
much for coming.

681
00:44:10,970 --> 00:44:15,030
I am State Attorney Amira Fox, and I
stand here today with Cape Coral Police

682
00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:19,990
Chief Dave Newland, Detective Bell, and
Detective Jones, and our team from both

683
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:26,750
our offices to announce the indictment
of Wade Stephen Wilson for the murders

684
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:33,630
Christine Melton, age 35, and Diane
Ruiz, 43, both of Cape

685
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:36,970
Coral. Once in a while, a case comes
along where...

686
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:42,400
You truly have an absolutely evil
person, and this is one of those cases.

687
00:45:07,710 --> 00:45:11,230
I mean, that's the part that made it bad
right there.

688
00:45:11,570 --> 00:45:13,650
I just, this is what I just don't
understand.

689
00:45:14,610 --> 00:45:16,190
Like, why to that extreme?

690
00:45:16,450 --> 00:45:20,350
You know what I'm saying? Like, what
happened to make it to that extreme,

691
00:45:21,970 --> 00:45:25,330
I don't know. What are you angry with,
dude? What are you angry about?

692
00:45:26,730 --> 00:45:29,310
You know what I'm saying? What are you
fucking angry about?

693
00:45:29,550 --> 00:45:32,210
Especially with women. Like, what are
you angry at women for?

694
00:45:32,910 --> 00:45:33,910
I don't know.

695
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:00,560
We do this because of victims and their
families in front of a worldwide

696
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,080
audience to make sure.

697
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,520
But that evil killer got the penalty
that we thought was the appropriate

698
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,080
penalty. Something about this just isn't
right.

699
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,900
And this is one of those cases.

700
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,980
Enough worldwide fame. You're talking
about who's the most famous right now?

701
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,420
This means... Wade Wilson. Wade Wilson.

702
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:30,660
Wade Wilson. This case exploded.

703
00:46:31,060 --> 00:46:32,060
This went worldwide.

704
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:33,820
Wade Wilson.

705
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,980
He had girls all around the world
writing him, sending him money. At one

706
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,680
a GoFundMe account was set up.

707
00:46:41,020 --> 00:46:44,860
Wilson has received over 3 ,900
messages.

708
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:49,200
I love you so much, baby. Are you
gonna... Baby, you know we can still get

709
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,200
married, right?

710
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,360
That's when everything
