The Handsome Killer Who Went Viral

In this episode of Night Watch, Katie examines the case of Wade Wilson—whose 2019 murders in Cape Coral, Florida, were revisited in Paramount+’s 2026 documentary Handsome Devil: Charming Killer. Beyond the crimes themselves, this episode explores how Wilson’s appearance and online fixation distorted public attention, often eclipsing the victims. We trace the warning signs before the murders, the night two women lost their lives, and the troubling question of how violence can become a spectacle in the digital age.
