Death Row Confession - The Missing Pt II

A killer who confessed to eleven murders. A sixteen-year-old runaway with a modelling dream. And a sister who never stopped fighting to bring her home.

Tammy Jo Alexander left Florida looking for a brighter life. She was found shot dead in a cornfield 1,200 miles away — stripped of everything that could identify her, buried under a headstone that read only Jane Doe. Her serial killer counted on her staying that way. He didn't count on Pamela.

This episode begins with a bombshell confession buried for forty years: a death-row prisoner who claims Christopher Wilder admitted to killing eleven women — before his rampage across America had even begun. Following that thread, Catching Evil has uncovered links between Wilder and Tammy Jo that lay hidden for four decades: a red racing jacket, a man in a roadside diner, a car for sale in the classifieds, and a sixteen-year-old's dream of being a model — the exact bait he used again and again.

And at the heart of it, a sister. Pamela gave her DNA, gave Tammy Jo her name back, and is still asking the only question that matters: who did this to her little sister — and why?

This is the episode that hits closest to home.
