*Please be aware before reading this post that I will be sharing some very disturbing details involving violence towards women and murder*
''I killed a b**ch, I choked a b**ch out'' - Wade Wilson.
Do you ever go on to social media at times and think ''Stop the world I want to get off?'' with some of the things you see? Well, I'm sure everyone and their mother right now knows who 'Wade Wilson' is. Maybe you don't know his name but you'll have seen his face, it's hard to miss it. The cocky, self assured prat that was sat in an electric blue jacket and yellow tie (he must have taken inspiration from Bananaman - 1980s British cartoon about a boy who ate too many bananas that he turned into a superhero) smirking as his horrific crimes were read out in the courtroom and as the family and friends of his victims sobbed their hearts out.
I know just by writing this post that I am running the risk of having a hoard of psychotic females after me but I couldn't care less. What I do care about is the fact that two innocent women were brutally murdered, almost a third if it hadn't been the fact that too many people were watching. Also not forgetting the fact that he left a lot of traumatized ex-girlfriends behind him. It seems to be that if you go into Wade's background it appears that he had a habit of using, abusing and hurting those around him.
Like a lot of people, I followed the trial and did my research into his background. The red flags were there all along which his adoptive family claim didn't come into display until he was 13. Wade's biological parents were just 14 and 15 when he was born and due to his young mother's addiction to drugs and mental health issues he was adopted whilst still a baby by a family who were known to his parents. It's unclear if his adoptive parents had told Wade that they were not his biological parents from a young age so he was aware of it. They claim that he had a great relationship with them and his adoptive siblings until he turned 13.
When you are adopted as a child but are unaware of it until you are told maybe when you are a teenager, that can be quite traumatic. I remember finding out that my Dad wasn't my biological father when I was 14 and I was heartbroken and felt lost, like my whole life had been a lie and I didn't know who I was. Luckily I was able to push past that because my Dad is an incredible man and always treated me like one of his own. I'm not placing blame on Wade's adoptive parents but it would be interesting to see exactly what shaped his views and what kicked off this behaviour from the age of just 13 years old. There may have been red flags before that they chose to ignore?
Wade's childhood was troubled, not only did he suffer a number of head traumas and accidents (for which he had numerous CT scans) he got caught selling drugs at school and starting taking them himself as well as committing petty theft. The results from his CT scans never showed up anything alarming but a lot of people argue that a MRI scan would have been a more better approach to see exactly what possible damage could have been done by these head traumas and accidents. An MRI scan would have given a more detailed scan of his brain. In recent times he has been examined (to some extent because he can often he uncooperative) and his lawyers and experts in the medical field believe that there is some possible damage to Wade's brain from past physical trauma and that in combination with the drugs is what has resulted in his behaviours over the years. Others believe that blaming the possible brain damage and drugs is just an excuse to explain away someone who is simply just evil through and through.
Despite offers of support over the years Wade continued to spiral and the drugs took full hold of him. It seemed that the drugs became the most important thing in his life and he would stop at nothing to get his next fix. There continued to be this burning anger inside him that seemed to just grow and grow especially towards women. It would be interesting to learn where the hatred towards women came from because we know he wasn't/is not an incel (involuntarily celibate) and had no problems with getting attention from the opposite sex but one wonders if it was a resentment towards his biological mother? Despite the fact that his mother was a young teenager with substance abuse issues and struggled with mental health (to a lot of people they would be able to understand why it wasn't in his best interests to have been placed in his mother's care but maybe he couldn't accept it, maybe he felt that he was abandoned or that she chose the drugs over him?). Whatever the real story, Wade never experienced that proper mother to child bond that a child needs so desperately, especially during the early development of a child's life.
The most important relationship and the very first relationship you have in your life is with your parents. If there are issues within that structure it can have an affect on a child's development and their future behaviours and views towards relationships in their adult life. All we know is, is that he has a lot of hate towards women to the point he sexually assaulted them, disrespected them, stole from them, used them, beat them and then finally went on to murder two innocent women (whilst claiming that he would have murdered his girlfriend if he'd been given half the chance but it was too public where they were but he did assault and punch her to the point that she was bleeding - side note: when this horrible altercation was retold in court, Wade sat smirking).
Wade contacted his biological father when he was 18 but it wasn't the big family reunion that either of them expected. By that point, Wade was a mess with the drugs, no job, no money and just looking for someone else to sponge off of. I'm sure his biological father wasn't exactly jumping for joy to find that his son had ended up down a dark path in life. I spoke earlier about the possible resentment that Wade may have felt towards his mother, could it be that he felt the same about his father too like ''Why didn't you come looking for me when you got older?, why did I have to seek you out?''. Again, I'm just thinking out loud and maybe one day we may know all of the answers to these questions but like I said before, that extreme anger had to come from somewhere.
Wade's attitude towards his biological father was pretty much the same as his attitude towards everyone else. He started to treat his Dad like an ATM machine, only calling him when he wanted money.
Wade's life was showing no sign of improvement and when he severely assaulted his ex-girlfriend (gagged, sexually assaulted her whilst also leaving deep bite marks on her face and chin). The terrified woman contacted the authorities and long story short, he managed to get away with it. If this horrendous incident had been taken more seriously, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz would probably be alive today. There were many moments where things should have been dealt with differently and could have prevented this horrific outcome but sadly it wasn't to be.
So in the space of just hours he managed to brutally murder two women, Kristine Melton (35) and Diane Ruiz (43). He never knew either of the victims beforehand and had met Kristine at a bar. Using a false name he managed to charm Kristine and her friend and they partied together and everything seemed to be fine. Kristine and Wade slept together and the next day when Kristine's friend went home, leaving the pair alone and Kristine in bed asleep, he strangled Kristine. From the details of the autopsy we know that he did more to Kristine than just the horrific strangulation. She had several hellish internal injuries as well as broken finger nails (Kristine's nails were acrylic and some were broken off, proving that she must have put up one hell of a fight against this monster). He wrapped Kristine's body up and left her on the floor before stealing her car to go and pick up his girlfriend who he planned to assault and murder, when that plan failed (although he did horrendously attack her in front of witnesses) he took off in Kristine's car again, looking for another victim.
He spotted Diane Ruiz just walking on the sidewalk and stopped to ask her for directions, he was able to charm Diane into the car. At first it was friendly but Diane soon felt like something was not right and Wade claimed that he could tell she was scared (and that was something that he really enjoyed, women being frightened of him) and wanted to get out of the car. He stopped the car in the pretence that he was going to let her out but instead reached over and choked her. He thought she was dead but noticed at some point that she was still alive. Diane ended up on the ground outside of the car where Wade claimed that he continued to drive over her body 10-20 times to the point that he said (his words) ''she looked like spaghetti''
After he had coldly discarded Diane's body he broke into a house where the owners were (fortunately) out of town he then helped himself to their food and contacted his biological father begging for money and a Uber whilst bragging with excitement that he just murdered two women.
His father didn't miss a beat and contacted the cops and Wade was taken into custody. For his fans who make excuses and claim his horrendous actions were due to drugs, how do they explain that three days after the murders, Wade was still bragging to investigators about the murders telling them that he would do it again and that he wanted to kill his girlfriend too. He called Kristine a 'Bit**' and spoke about her with such hate whilst gloating about running over Diane until she looked like spaghetti. He didn't show any regret or remorse then and he's certainly not showing it now.
All the way through this even when the crime scenes were described in chilling detail, he sat there unbothered, pathetic and at times smirking. The only time I ever saw some shred of emotion in those cold, soulless eyes was when his biological father took the stand. We may never know the truth of why Wade Wilson chose to become the monster that he has but some clue is in there with the reaction to his father. It was almost as if seeing his father talking about him in such a manner was another form of abandonment. If one is to believe that all of this hell stems from the fact that he grew up with a complex and feeling of rejection due to being adopted, it does make you wonder. Did he not only feel abandoned growing up but he felt it a second time when his father called the cops (what else was the man supposed to do?) and now a third time, talking about Wade on the stand with such a look of exhaustion and disappointment in his eyes.
Sometimes Wade looked like a delinquent kid sat next to two male teachers in detention, Wade appears to be sat slouched and fidgeting, sometimes you would forget that this was supposed to be a 30 year old man. There's a clip floating about online where one of his lawyers is sitting next to him and the man (who looks to be in his late 50s) suddenly spots Wade's huge swastika tattoo on his scalp and looks horrified.
''They can't get away from me, I'm too strong. I am a lion and they are my prey'' - Wade Wilson
I don't hate tattoos, I have some.....but what I do dislike is 'hate' tattoos! We thought it was bad enough when we saw the small swastika tattoo on his face but during my research into all the crap he's covered himself in, it's pure hate, references of white supremacy all over the place. So he hates women, he hates anyone who's not white, it's all hate, hate, hate but where does it all come from? That's the big question here.
I discussed this with a friend of mine who knows the goings-on in prisons and they believe that Wade (due to the fact there was an incident in which he was jumped on and attacked by a group of guys) is part of a gang. Well, we known he is associated with a white supremacist group known as 'Unforgiven' but my friend says that the excessive tattoos on the face are a sign that Wade 'is property' of someone or a gang (ie: someone's b**ch). It's pretty obvious for a guy who has possibly felt abandoned his whole life to want to belong somewhere and to have that protection in prison. It's no secret that if you are part of a gang in prison there is a shield and some level of protection.
The hand signals he was displaying in court were for his fellow gang members who were probably watching the trial in their cells. That actually happens, some prisoners have access to newspapers, TV and even playstations.
So we know a bit about his background, the drugs, the murders and the fact that he is pure evil so why is such a large number of women drooling over him and showing complete disregard for the victims (and the survivors). In some cases they actually blame the victims and claim that Wade has mental health issues and that it's him that's the real victim. I can't believe my eyes at the endless streams and streams of fangirl comments over him on social media, TikTok seems to be the worst. I watched one video of his lawyer reacting to his swastika tattoo and the next thing I knew he was popping up all over my timeline but not in the way you would expect. These women have made music videos of him, there's pictures of him set to music. There's videos of him set in slow motion where he's walking into the courtroom, close ups of him smiling. And all of that is just the start, there's fan pages dedicated to him, 10 minutes of looking at this stuff and the comments underneath and you think you're in some crazy asylum with a bunch of nutcases who are desperate for a man, any man....even a murderer.
We know that serial killer Ted Bundy and a host of other serial killers received fan mail from women. Ted Bundy was reportedly sent over 200 letters a month from women declaring their love for him. Chris Watts, the very 'man' who murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters receives fan mail. When I wrote about disgraced former singer Ian Watkins, I ended up being stalked by his serial stalker (this woman had been in the newspapers and Ian himself and the prison authorities had her banned from contacting him), the crazed woman wanted me to go into the prison for her. The whole thing was nuts especially as she was pretending to be about 5 different people initially until I called her out on it. That whole situation was bizarre with me ending up giving her some advice and some sort of therapy. I told her she needed to move on with her life. It turned out (as I suspect with these Wade Wilson fans) that this woman had been through a lot in her life and identified with Ian because of his lyrics and music.
Wade was found guilty obviously but we now wait until the 23rd of July to find out if he is to receive the death penalty or life imprisonment. When the guilty verdict was read out he did the usual routine of acting like he didn't care. His fans were making excuses for him and explaining away his behaviour as ''he's on medication'' and ''he's trying to put on a brave face, poor baby''.
I actually wish I could interview some of these Wade Wilson fans (anonymously of course) and find out what the actual score is. How can you be attracted to someone covered in hate tattoos, especially swastikas who enjoyed and celebrated killing two innocent women and took pleasure in domestic violence?
The trouble with these types of women (the correct term is 'Passive Hybristophilia' - a sexual attraction to someone involved in committing acts of murder) is that if they actually got their dream of being with Wade, they would soon get a very rude awakening, because despite what they believe (that they could change him, he'd treat them differently), Wade would take them for every penny, abuse them and (I hate to say it but let's be truthful) murder them.
Where are we as a society that we've lost our human decency? Where has the empathy gone? The sympathy for the victims, the survivors and their families?
An ex-girlfriend has posted a video on TikTok sharing her ordeal of what he put her through and some of the comments are beggars belief. This strong lady who's been through hell and fortunately lived to tell the tale, has been ridiculed by other women because of her looks and body. There's women who are actually jealous because this woman has gotten close to Wade and slated her as a '4' when he is a '10' (those are their words, not mine). Imagine calling a cold blooded murderer covered in swastika's a '10' (talk about setting your standards low....way low...well the gutter actually).
I don't have sympathy for Wade Wilson, only for his victims, their families and the survivors. I feel sorry for his biological father too. That man looks like he's been through it too and he did the right thing (contacting authorities) because Wade would have continued to destroy lives and was dangerous. What should have been done in the first place was his ex-girlfriend should have been listened to when she reported the attack on her. As we've seen in a lot of cases I have covered over the years, red flags and warning signs were always there and in this case, it wasn't just red flags in the case of Wade Wilson, it was flashing red lights!!
Do I think he deserves the death penalty? Yes! If it was a case of brain damage and drugs and a moment of madness without the past history of violence towards women, I may have given him the benefit of the doubt if he expressed complete remorse for all that he has done. But, stone cold sober in the light of day he continued to brag about what he had done. He sat and looked at the pictures of his victims deceased bodies. He didn't even flinch when the details of how Diane Ruiz was found was shared to a horrified courtroom (Diane was unrecognisable due to severe decomposition, not to mention the state in which he had left her in after heartlessly running over her continuously).
I don't know if these Wade fans have actually been paying attention to the details of this case, it's all on YouTube for everyone to see. How can you listen to all of that, look at him and still think he's the best thing since sliced bread? Something is very wrong with our society.
That's my opinion and there's plenty of people in this world who face hardships every day and they don't go on to do what he did. He's thrown his life away but he threw it away years ago, from a very young age he headed down this dark path and just kept on going and the question is why? The hatred, the anger, where did that all come from? Questions that remain unanswered.
I'm sure so many of us will be watching on the 23rd of July to see what the outcome is going to be.
I will be posting regular updates on this post so keep your eyes peeled (all updates will appear at the end of the post).
I just want to take a moment to remember the real victims in this case and the survivors who managed to get away from him. They are the ones that deserve all of the sympathy.
RIP Kristine & Diane.

Does Wade Wilson deserve the death penalty in your opinion? Maybe you are a fan of his and I would be interested to hear why you are so drawn to him, please feel free to email me where all comments and views shared will be treated in the strictest of confidence and I will not share your name or personal email details.
UPDATES:
Newsweek (July 2024): Reported that Wade has been inundated with over 3,900 messages from female fans whilst he awaits the final outcome of his fate on the 23rd of July. A huge number of the messages included pictures that were explicit in nature and had to be rejected by prison staff.
UPDATE!! July 20th: Fox4Now reported that Wade's sentencing to learn the outcome of his fate has been moved from the 23rd of July to the 27th of August. This is due to the request for more brain scans to be done to determine if he is indeed brain damaged.
UPDATE!! August 2024: A series of recorded phone calls between Wade with a number of women and men, have been made public. Some of the calls are flirtatious in nature and he encourages both male and female callers to call him ''Daddy' whilst he calls them ''baby'' and 9/10 times always asks them to send him money. The misguided fans who contact him have been nicknamed ''The Kiosk Boys & Girls''. One of the videos you may want to watch in regards to the prison calls is available here.
As I mentioned previously, Wade did partake in a series of tests as well as an MRI scan. On the 27th of August he appeared in court to learn his fate, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, plastic flipflops and shackles. His fans commented in a live chat that he had lost weight but this was because he was no longer wearing the suits with padded shoulders & the two belts (one for his hernia and the other was a shock belt) under his clothing. He chose not to say anything as it was determined that he was in full use of his mental faculties at the time of the murders. The court determined that Wade knew and planned what he was going to do, they took note of the fact that he assaulted Mila and because he couldn't get her into the car, he drove off looking for another victim which was sadly Diane. The outcome was that he was to be sentenced to death.
So, will this be the final chapter in the Wade Wilson story? Will his fans move on or will they continue to campaign now that he's been given the death sentence? The judge did mention that the petitions which were signed by 40,000 made it through to his desk. Wade knows he has a lot of support and a reported $70,000 (and counting) has been sent to him from fans.
As I watched the court footage, along with thousands of other people I couldn't help but look at Wade and think ''My God, you look so young, what a mess, what a waste and what could have been''. I completely agree with his adoptive parents (who's statement was read out to the court) that the system failed Wade. If things had been dealt with properly years ago, none of this would have happened.
I just want to say a big thank you to all of the Wade fans who did contact me about this and the stories that you shared of your own struggles with addiction and why you felt that you could relate to Wade. I appreciate your thoughts and the time you took to email me.
Thank you as always for your support and I hope you will join me in my next post. Take care until next time....
