This true crime doc is narrator by a Mayballine ad spokesperson. It's like listening to a donkey explain what's it like to be a chicken. Or like when filmmakers use a nonhuman voice to tell a human story. This proves that any true crime doc worth its salt should only by narrated by narrators who've done murder themselves. The only thing this narrator has murdered is my Sunday evening. And the narrator doesn't even have to do a salacious murder. They could get their pet owl to do it, or their foolish 18 year old hardbody boyfriend. With his abs all as sharp like kitchen knives. Always wearing no shirt and his pants riding so low that that one part of his muscled pelvis is confusingly unmissable. You know, that hunk of meat just above his low waistline that you don't know what it's for, but you can't imagine it not being there? Like a handle for a door that only pushes. A push-handle.

Tina Marie Risico went to the Hickory Farms store in the Del Amo Fashion Store in Torrance, California, on April 4, 1984. She went there to apply for a job while she was a student at Shery High School. Christopher Wilder reportedly approached her there with cameras around his neck. He then complimented her and claimed he had connections with a modeling agency. Wilder went on to lure her into his car by telling her he could help her. Christopher Wilder then stopped in the Anaheim woods before they walked to a wooded area. The Beauty Queen Killer then pulled out a gun and forced her to strip naked before he put a hat and sunglasses on her. He also taped her face before he drove her to a hotel. At the hotel, he sexually abused her using electric shocks and tortured her with a knife. He also coerced her into engaging in sexual acts. Eventually, Wilder also made Tina Marie Risico help him with committing the crimes. She reportedly approached a girl in Gary, Indiana, and told her about a modeling show before Christopher Wilder told her the same. He then lured the girl into his car, and they drove to a nearby motel when Risico reportedly watched as Wilder sexually assaulted the girl. He then electrocuted the girl and took her into the woods. Wilder suffocated her and stabbed her in the lungs before he left her there to die. However, the girl managed to draw attention from a passing car and was taken to a hospital, where she survived.

Tina is a victim but she's also a criminal. What she did is absolutely vile and there's absolutely no way she couldn't have escaped at least a thousand times. Or warned Dawn to run the other direction, told her she was in danger, anything to keep another girl from becoming a victim. She was following him in a completely different car and NEVER ONCE had even a fleeting thought that she should drive away, run him over, drive away, anything.

And then suddenly, he just magically puts her on a plane, gives her money, and she's just randomly traversing Los Angeles, including to a lingerie shop, then her boyfriend's, then reluctantly submits to interrogation and is ultimately seen as a victim but I believe that, in her own words, became incredibly street wise and has a sort of criminal mentality, but supposedly never has thoughts of escape or even self preservation.

She seriously needs to thank God that.she didn't receive accomplice charges or even conspiracy. It's absolutely disgusting that she's so indignant and self-righteous. She owes Dawn and Mrs. Dodges family a multitude of apologies.

So we are supposed to believe when Wilder left Tina in the car alone in the woods when he took Dawn to stab her this Tina girl couldn't just run away and hide in the woods? She just sat there and waited for Chris to return? She 100% was an accomplice. Tina was a participant and knowingly active bait for his victims. She didn't do anything to stop what was happening??!! Was she drugged? Did I miss something? I get it..you are a victim and feel helpless but to do nothing while it happens to other girls in your presence? She is a sick as he was. Tina should be ashamed and held accountable for all of this too.
