And while we typically don't have these warnings at the beginning of our episodes,

we felt that it was important to use the specifics of his crimes

in order to tell the story in the best way and the most accurate way possible.

Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance and Jen. How's it going you two?

It's going fantastic. Things are coming together in an interesting way on this show.

We've covered Missing Persons. We've covered specific Missing Persons for

hundreds of episodes and now we're introducing a new format here but I don't want to take up too

much time before we find out how Jen's doing. Yeah, I'm doing pretty great. Thanks for having me back.

Good, well welcome back. Yes, in today's episode that we're expecting to be a two-parter,

we're going to speak about the serial killer known as Christopher Bernard Wilder.

And this is something that we're trying where a lot of these cases are solved.

And we're hoping that covering some solved cases will inform us on our unsolved cases.

Also, this case has nothing to do with private investigations for the Missing. It did not come in

that way. But in fact, we did learn of this person, Christopher Wilder, while covering the

disappearance of Alicia Markovich that did come up in the research into Alicia's case.

It's a really good point. We've had a lot of internal conversations about the missing person

cases that do come in through private investigations for the Missing. And most of them are within,

I would say like 10 or 15 years for the most part. We do have older ones. But each time we talk about

a missing person that comes to us that way, we learn something that might be relevant to another

missing person's case. So it just kind of made sense to be like, oh, there are solved ones out there.
