Hi,
I was almost a victim of Wilder. I was a model working for an agency in Ft. Lauderdale. After a "cattle call" at the agency and Wilder looking over approx. 50 girls he chose me for his photo shoot.
To make a long story short and hopefully to add a new place of search for you.
The shoot took place at Boca West in Boca Raton, FL.
He and I were the only people there for the entire day.
The place was under new construction and there were model homes/town homes built and being built along with ordered ones I am sure.
Anyway...
After many hours of being with him in one of these model town homes he packed me up and we got into his car and he drove a short way to a wooded boardwalk. This boardwalk is in Boca West.
He took me there to do some more shots.....
I knew something was not right.
I am not going to go into all the details in this post, but at the end of the boardwalk, was a large wooded forest area. In that place...at that moment...I felt like there were bodies buried out there. That flashed into my head right then when I was with him and I though for a second" Am I crazy?"
After Wilder was dead I worked with an FBI agent in the Boca West development and took him to the boardwalk area as well.
I have NO idea if the FBI looked for bodies in the woods there at the boardwalk or ANY other areas of Boca West.
When I was with Wilder he showed me a picture of a girl, that he told me was my "competition". That it was going to be either her or me for "the job".
The girl looked like she was 11-15 years of age, shortish reddish hair with fair skin. She did not look like a model at all. She may have even had freckles on her face.
It is not much, but hopefully it may help.
Thanks for bumping this up.
I think Wilder was responsible for more killings than he is "credited" for. In addition to the women he killed in 1984 (during his killing spree), he is suspected of killing two teenage girls in Sydney, Australia, and also of raping two young girls in Florida in 1983. I truly doubt that between 1965 and 1984, Wilder was able to keep from killing.
Is Tina on Namus, Doe Network, Charley Project or websleuths? I tried to find more info on Doe Network for Florida 1981 and didn't see Tina. Maybe you can submit her to Namus and Doe NetworkMy sister, Tina, disappeared in 1981 with very similar circumstances, though detectives are tying her case more to a gang and less to Wilder. Seems kind of odd, though........closure sure would be nice, after all of these uncertain years....
Melo, this picture look a lot like the girl in the picture that he showed me, but it cannot be Colleen, because I was with Christopher Wilder in 1983 and she disappeared March 15 1984.Sorry for bumping this old thread, but could the girl you are talking about be Coleen Orsborn?
I found out this was not true?There were no remains found in or around Christopher Wilders home/property in Boynton Beach. I do know that remains of 3 or 4 bodies have been found in the upper Florida Keys since Wilders death that as far as I know have not been identified.

I found out this was not true?
A side note that I just found at TruTV. Several sets of skeletons were reported found on or near Wilder’s properties. I cannot find any documentation of whether these were ever identified. I have searched for verification of this and have not had any luck. If anyone knows anything, please email me.
