Rosario Gonzales was handing out aspirin samples at the Miami Grand Prix racetrack on February 26, 1984.
She was making good money – $200 a day – but it was mainly just a side hustle. Gonzales had previously participated in the Miss Florida Beauty Contest and her true passion was modelling.
According to witnesses, Gonzales left the racetrack that afternoon with a Caucasian man in his thirties.

She was never seen again.
Just a week later, another Miss Florida contestant – Elizabeth Kenyon – vanished.
Her parents hired a private investigator who established a link between Gonzales and Kenyon. Not only had they both competed in the same pageant, but both women looked similar and had a link to an Australian man named Christopher Wilder.
Wilder was born in Sydney in 1945, the son of an Australian mother and an American naval officer father.
