In the explosive new podcast\u00a0\u201cCatching Evil,\u201d Jacqueline reveals how to this day she is grateful to be alive \u2013 having come face-to-face with the man dubbed the Beauty Queen Killer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s mind-blowing to think how close I came, you know? Just insane. Evil, pure evil,\u201d she tells investigators Mark Lewellyn and Andy Byrne.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the scariest part. It\u2019s like looking at humanity so raw and so close and knowing how close you came to the burn and yet somehow you survived.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byrne told news.com.au Jacqueline\u2019s life was likely saved because of her car \u2013 a bright pink Porsche convertible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was so distinctive that Wilder couldn\u2019t take the chance neighbours would remember it parked on his driveway and the stunning young woman who was driving it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Homicide Detective Tom Neighbors also tells\u00a0\u201cCatching Evil\u201d\u00a0how he found a secret torture chamber in Wilder\u2019s house \u2014 with chains, gags and restraints, and blood discovered inside. \u201cWomen were lured in through modelling promises and photography; some paid for their time, the not-so-lucky ones controlled and humiliated,\u201d Byrne said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt showcases Wilder\u2019s obsession with the novel\u00a0\u201cThe Collector\u201d\u00a0\u2014 not just his inspiration, but the blueprint for his modus operandi \u2014 down to stalking, captivity fantasies, and using photos to blackmail and silence victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilder is confirmed to have murdered nine women across the United States but officials believe there were many more victims, including three who he raped and tortured but who miraculously got away.<\/p>\n
After a nationwide manhunt, he was killed in a shootout with New Hampshire state troopers in 1984, where he likely turned a police gun on himself.<\/p>\n
Byrne said the podcast, which has quickly become Australia\u2019s number one True Crime Podcast, is a tribute to the bravery of Wilder\u2019s victims and their families.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the trauma they endured, they have continued to speak out, seeking justice and ensuring that their stories are heard,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir resilience serves as an inspiration and a powerful reminder of the human spirit\u2019s ability to overcome adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third episode of the podcast also reveals Wilder\u2019s wife told police he attempted to murder her on three separate occasions and that they should \u201clook at him\u201d for the Wanda Beach murders.<\/p>\n
Christine Wilder was also present when her then-husband admitted to raping a nurse, and told police she discovered stacks of photographs of women dressed in her own bikinis in the boot of his car.<\/p>\n
In a statement to police, seen by news.com.au, Christine detailed how she was present when police arrived at their home and confronted Wilder about the alleged rape of an 18-year-old trainee nurse.<\/p>\n
She listened as her husband confessed to arresting detectives that he had raped the teenager in their apartment. Later, at Manly police station, Wilder also admitted he used the threat of photographs to blackmail the victim into sex.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetectives tell Wilder there\u2019s been a complaint from an 18-year-old student nurse who Wilder had approached on the pretence that he was a fashion photographer,\u201d Byrne explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a nearby dressing shed he photographs her and persuades her to go topless and then briefly naked before she starts crying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilder then blackmailed her, saying he would send the photos to her father and to the hospital where she worked unless she met with him for sex.<\/p>\n
A police officer told Wilder the girl alleged that when she was in his flat he had sexual intercourse with her against her wishes.<\/p>\n
Byrne said Wilder even admitted there was something wrong with him and that he couldn\u2019t explain his actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey arrest him, and they arrange for Christine to go to her parents. And I don\u2019t believe that she set eyes on her husband ever again,\u201d Byrne explained.<\/p>\n
The nurse, accompanied by her mother, spoke to police. But, after giving her statement, her mother would not allow her to appear in court, worried the case would ruin her life. The matter was dismissed.<\/p>\n

Llewellyn said that four days after Wilder\u2019s arrest for raping the young nurse, his wife, her mother and sister went to the police with \u201cbombshell allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The young wife told police they should \u201clook very closely at her husband as the Wanda Beach killer.\u201d She detailed his violent temper outbursts, the attempts on her life, his violent sexual acts that he was performing on her.<\/p>\n
\u201cChristine\u2019s mother, Marie Louise, also details her own terrifying experience with a sexually aggressive Christopher Wilder,\u201d Byrne said, revealing he once crept into her house startling her and inappropriately talked about sex before propositioning her.<\/p>\n
Terrified, she ordered him to leave.<\/p>\n
Christine told police on February 19, 1969, that she met Wilder herself after she and her sister were stalked by him on a beach for six hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police officer who interviewed her, her mum and her sister had no doubts,\u201d Byrne said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe immediately wrote a report to the detectives handling the Wanda Beach Case, including a mugshot of Wilder, his criminal background; he handed it to them on a plate.\u201d<\/p>\n
An entry in the Wanda Beach murder book running sheet on May 5, 1969, said \u201cconsiderable inquiries have been made in an endeavour to locate this suspect, so he may be interviewed as to his movements on 11\/1\/65, however with negative results.\u201d<\/p>\n
It noted Wilder\u2019s wife, Christine, had begun divorce proceedings and gave details for her solicitor. The report ended: \u201cAt this stage the matter cannot be carried further.\u201d<\/p>\n
On September 6, four months later, the detective again contacted Christine\u2019s solicitor and was informed the suspect could be residing with his parents at Rene Street in Ryde.<\/p>\n
The entry ends: \u201cIt is requested that should he be located, that the source of the information not be disclosed to him under any circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
On November 11, 1969, a detective finally reported that he had knocked on the parents\u2019 door and Wilder\u2019s mother told him Chris had moved to America back in May, six months earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacqueline was a beautiful 18-year-old rising model and beauty queen \u2014 the reigning Miss North Miami \u2014 when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4582,7371,3640,238,9,24,63,122,124,123,15339,1076],"class_list":{"0":"post-114805","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-beauty-queens","10":"tag-florida","11":"tag-murders","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-queens","16":"tag-queens-headlines","17":"tag-queens-news","18":"tag-serial-killers","19":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
