The Mystery of Tina Risico
Show notes
He was killing every few days — then he took Tina, and suddenly stopped. Christopher Wilder had already abducted nine women and murdered most of them in a six-week rampage across America. He was the FBI's most wanted man. Every woman he took, he raped, tortured and then quickly killed them. But when he abducted 16-year-old Tina Risico from an LA shopping mall, something changed. The killing stopped. For nine days, he kept her alive — and for 40 years, no one has fully explained why. Until now.
This is the story of the girl who was allowed to walk away when none of the others were — and the question at its heart is one every woman will ask: what did Tina do differently to survive? She tells us in her own words.
