Christopher Wilder would have been in his mid-20s at the time, probably we will never know how many he killed, I don't believe he suddenly started killing at middle age. Also I previously mentioned John Paul Knowles (or as he is just as often listed, Paul John Knowles) who kidnapped and murdered a teen girl in GA in 1974. He was killed in a shootout so we will never know. I just keep thinking how do you abduct a girl in broad daylight at an open air mall? Either you know her and she isn't afraid to let you in her car or you pull a weapon on her. There was a report that somebody heard screams that afternoon, but there are so so many cases out there where days or weeks later somebody reported they heard a scream around the time of an abduction, and it may not be related or even have been on the same day. My feeling has always been she was taken on her way back to her car or while she was getting into her car. She was seen at the mall arcade so we know she made it there. I would think if she screamed or made any sort of a scene, somebody would have noticed. School was out and I would imagine there would have been a fair amount of kids and housewives in the area on that afternoon. I still think he brought the car back and parked it in the general area because he had to get back to the area, either because he lived nearby or because his own vehicle was parked there. Otherwise why would you drive a vehicle you know people are out looking for?
