Summary

In 2019, two women living in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area were closely linked. Though they had never met, over the course of a single day Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz crossed paths with the same dangerous man. After both women were murdered, the hunt was on to find their killer. It wouldn’t take long for authorities to catch up to 25-year-old Wade Wilson, and it became clear that there would be more victims if he hadn’t been caught.  Subscribe to Jami’s YouTube channel @JamiOnAir: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram and TikTok.
