Fight Like Your Life Depends On It

'I Was Groomed by a Serial Killer': A Survivor's Chilling Story. LeAnne was just 16 when serial killer Christopher Wilder lured her off a crowded Florida beach, blindfolded her, and drove her to a place no teenage girl should ever find herself. She thought she was going to be a model. Instead, she came face-to-face with a monster. In this raw and emotional episode, true-crime experts Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations, and Olivia LaVoice, host of The Bakersfield Three, react with shock and anger to LeAnne's terrifying brush with death.
They explore the psychology behind Wilder's predatory behaviour, the systemic failures that allowed him to destroy so many lives, and why women are conditioned from a young age to comply with predators rather than fight back. LeAnne's encounter with evil is a stark and unsettling reminder of the dangers women still face — and why we need to talk about it.
This episode also shines a light on the devastating ripple effect of Wilder's crimes on the families left behind, the importance of giving survivors and victims' loved ones a voice, and why true-crime podcasts are playing a vital role in keeping cold cases alive and delivering justice long after the system has failed.
Gemma Bath is the host of True Crime Conversations on Mamamia, one of Australia's most successful and respected true-crime podcasts which explores the world's most notorious crimes by speaking to the people who know the most about them.
