## Resource

in 1984, south Miami became the home for a sadistic serial killer. Posing as a fashion photographer, Christopher Wilder lured young women from shopping malls with promises of fame and fortune. Most ended up dead. As the FBI closed in around him, Wilder took off on a cross-country murderous rampage. The FBI added Wilder to their Most Wanted Fugitives program. The chase was on, and Wilder ultimately lost. What stopped the serial killer was not brilliant or sophisticated police work, but national publicity that the FBI created.
