Supplied<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBeth\u2019s family pleaded for action. They provided information, begged the police to look at the man who\u2019d proposed marriage after a handful of dates \u2013 the red flag so obvious it should have triggered immediate scrutiny.<\/p>\n
But nothing happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd somewhere out there, Christopher Wilder was already hunting his next victim,\u201d Byrne said.<\/p>\n
The podcast series reveals that Wilder traveled up to New York regularly and is linked to several murders and disappearances of young women. Some of them he picked up in Florida, promising them modelling careers in New York.<\/p>\n
Their bodies were discovered in or near water not far from Lockport, where Beth\u2019s family owned a string of convenience stores, and still do.<\/p>\n
Byrne says the team also interviewed two women who Wilder approached in the next town and showed them his portfolio of Beth.<\/p>\n
They say in the interview, \u201cwhen he approached us he was hunting for his next victim.\u201d<\/p>\nInvestigator and podcast co-host Andy Byrne told news.com.au that Kenyon\u2019s loved ones watched in horror as \u201cbureaucracy\u201d allowed the man they believed killed their daughter to remain free. Supplied<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDETECTIVE V PRIVATE EYE<\/strong><\/p>\nMiami Dade Homicide Detective Ray Nazario:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe fled you know, and I didn\u2019t like that because the Whittakers shouldn\u2019t have said what they did. Hey, this is a suspect and they just went ahead and did everything and boom, I mean, they scared the guy, you know?<\/p>\n
\u200aRemember now, at this point I\u2019m working a missing person case, with the suspicion that there might be foul play.<\/p>\n
\u200aYou know, I\u2019m stubborn as hell. If I don\u2019t see it myself I can\u2019t tell you something. I don\u2019t even like speculating. I had an old Sergeant in homicide that said \u2018In any case, you can have as many suspects as you want. But you\u2019re spreading yourself out like horse manure.\u2019 He said, \u2018Be sure. Don\u2019t go, this guy is a suspect. Keep your cards close to your chest.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u200aSo now, I\u2019m thinking, here\u2019s a young girl, a beautiful young girl, at the airport. Did she get there with some beau and just leave? \u200aYou think of all this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beth\u2019s family and Whittaker don\u2019t allege Nazario was negligent or lazy, rather that the police were too slow to act on information he was given.<\/p>\n
Miami Private Eye Ken Whittaker:<\/p>\n
\u201cI called Ray Nazario, the cop handling the Kenyon case and he said Ken, there\u2019s no fucking evidence of foul play, what are you doing. I said I\u2019m telling you I have an eyewitness. I\u2019m not telling you how to do your job, you\u2019ve been on the job for twenty-something years and I was only in for a couple of years, but I\u2019m telling you I\u2019ve done enough investigations, bring him in on probation violation and then say by the way tell me about Beth Kenyon. That\u2019s the hook you bring him in on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lewellyn and Byrne are convinced Wilder is responsible for the deaths of 15-year-olds Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock at Wanda Beach in Sydney in 1965. The series delves into the \u201cirrefutable proof.\u201d<\/p>\n
