In the episode titled ‘Dating the Deadpool Killer’ of Netflix’s ‘Worst Ex Ever,’ the primary focus is on Wade Steven Wilson and how he killed two women in Cape Coral, Florida, in the span of a few hours in October 2019. After several hours of pursuit, the detectives apprehended the perpetrator through an unexpected tip. The documentary also features an exclusive interview with Christopher Lane, who recounts his brief relationship with Wade in detail.
Christopher Lane Dated Wade Steven Wilson Months Before His Killing Spree
Born on August 26, 1997, Christopher Lane crossed paths with Wade Steven Wilson in March 2019, while he was living out of his RV in Iverness, Florida. While Christopher was working on a bungee jump at the carnival, Wade was working at a pizza station. The two got to talking and became good friends, with Wade moving into Christopher’s RV soon. Not long after, sparks flew, and they began dating. One night, Wade allegedly became paranoid that someone was trying to break into the van. In a state of panic, he struck Christopher with a knife and injured him before getting out of the RV, as per Christopher’s claims.
Despite being injured and bleeding, Christopher shrugged off the incident because he had fallen in love with Wade by then. However, when he learned that Wade had been telling people that they were cousins, Christopher believed that his boyfriend was ashamed to be with him. Thus, after a month of dating, on April 15, 2019, he broke up with him. Months later, Christopher was shocked to learn that Wade ended up killing two Cape Coral women, 35-year-old Kristine Melton and 43-year-old Diane Ruiz, in October 2019.
