[FLORIDA FILES] Wade Wilson: The Double Murder That Shocked Cape Coral

Over the span of a single day, two women were killed in Cape Coral, Florida by someone neither of them had ever met. Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, had no connection to each other...except that they both crossed paths with Wade Wilson on October 7th, 2019.

In this episode, we break down the timeline of that horrific day, from the bar where Wade met Kristine, to the stolen car that connected both crime scenes, to the moment his own father turned him in. We also discuss the disturbing jailhouse phone calls, the face tattoos he got while awaiting trial, and the online fan club that formed around a convicted killer.

This case involves stranger murders (which make up only 10% of homicides), and a death penalty trial that captured national attention, partly because Wade Wilson shares his name with the Marvel character Deadpool.
