A Beautiful Cheerleader Goes Missing

February 9, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes


Stunning beauty queen, High School cheerleading coach and special needs teacher Beth Kenyon turned down a marriage proposal from Christopher Wilder after only a handful of casual dates. A few months later, the 23-year-old beauty queen winner vanished after being seen with him at a gas station on the way to a photo shoot he organised for her. Her body has never been found, and her younger brother Tim still struggles with the tragedy that has haunted him his entire adult life.
