Catching Evil

Andy Byrne & Mark Llewellyn

You think you know evil? Think again.


If Ted Bundy sent shivers down your spine, brace yourself for Christopher Wilder – the serial killer who was even more cunning, even more hypnotic, and whose reign of terror is far from over.

He was the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing: tall, handsome, seemingly respectable – the Australian-born son of an American war hero. Behind this polished exterior lurked a ruthless predator. For 20 years, this wealthy businessman and race car driver stalked America's most beautiful women. Someone's daughter. Someone's sister. Girls who never made it home.


Now we're finding them. Catching Evil is an explosive eight-year field investigation spanning two continents that refuses to stay buried in the 1980s. This isn't just another cold case podcast – this is a live investigation. As hosts Andy Byrne and Mark Llewellyn dig deeper, they uncover new bodies, new victims, and shocking evidence that connects one of Australia's greatest unsolved murder mysteries to a serial killing rampage across America.


This is victim-driven true crime at its most authentic and unflinching. We're giving voice to the forgotten girls, honouring their stories, and standing alongside the families still devastated by one man's evil decades later. Because lives are still being destroyed. Justice is still being denied. Their stories matter. We can't let them be forgotten.

    The Serial Killers' Playground

    Serial killer Christopher Wilder was murdering his way across America — and nobody was stopping him. This episode plunges into the terrifying heart of Wilder's 1984 killing rampage, tracking him through Colorado, Utah and Arizona as the FBI scrambled desperately to catch up. At the centre of it all is Sheryl Bonaventura — eighteen years old, blonde, blue-eyed, beautiful, and about to head to Aspen for spring break with her best friend. She never made it out of the shopping mall car park. And there's a detail that will stop you cold. Grand Junction, Colorado — the town where Wilder snatched Sheryl — was the same hunting ground used by Ted Bundy a decade earlier. Two of America's most notorious serial killers. The same small town. The same interstate highway. The same prey. This is Catching Evil at its most compelling — and most haunting.
