About This Podcast
You think you know evil? Think again.
If Ted Bundy sent shivers down your spine, brace yourself for Christopher Wilder – the serial killer who was even more cunning, even more hypnotic, and whose reign of terror is far from over.
He was the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing: tall, handsome, seemingly respectable – the Australian-born son of an American war hero. Behind this polished exterior lurked a ruthless predator. For 20 years, this wealthy businessman and race car driver stalked America's most beautiful women. Someone's daughter. Someone's sister. Girls who never made it home.
Now we're finding them. Catching Evil is an explosive eight-year field investigation spanning two continents that refuses to stay buried in the 1980s. This isn't just another cold case podcast – this is a live investigation. As hosts Andy Byrne and Mark Llewellyn dig deeper, they uncover new bodies, new victims, and shocking evidence that connects one of Australia's greatest unsolved murder mysteries to a serial killing rampage across America.
This is victim-driven true crime at its most authentic and unflinching. We're giving voice to the forgotten girls, honouring their stories, and standing alongside the families still devastated by one man's evil decades later. Because lives are still being destroyed. Justice is still being denied. Their stories matter. We can't let them be forgotten.
Join the chase for truth. Leave us a rating and review to let us know how you're experiencing their stories.
