Episode 81 - The Beauty Queen Killer & The Hatman

This week Erika covers the gruesome murders of the Beauty Queen Killer. Christopher Bernard Wilder was born in Australia in 1945 and began his horrible kidnapping, rape, torture and murder killing spree in 1963 that would continue till 1984. He would commit some of these crimes in Australia and then relocate to the US, where a six-week cross-country crime spree took place. His killings would only end, after he was killed in New Hampshire on April 13, 1984.

Erika was drinking a Chardonnay from Bota Box. Everything was fine until Amber decided to lose her shit, due to the box being almost empty, so all I brought into recording was what was left in the bag, that contains the wine within the box. I really don’t think it was that big of a deal, but she apparently did! It’s a pretty good wine, even if it does come in a bag/box.

Then Amber covers The Hatman. The Hatman is a shadow figure that witnesses report typically seeing while experiencing sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes through stages of wakefulness and sleep. Your mind is awake, but your body isn't. Sleep paralysis is common and can be explained with science; but what can't be explained is why so many people see a tall dark figure in a fedora and a trench coat while experiencing sleep paralysis.

Amber was drinking a 2019 Red from Perimetro from Spain, she really enjoyed it.
