When Angila Wilder was discovered dead on the floor of her North Dakota home in 2015, a busy mother of three had been sure that someone was monitoring her.
The evidence swiftly pointed to her ex-husband when a bright young nursing student was murdered in her North Dakota home.
However, after Richie Wilder Jr. was found guilty of the murder of Angila Wilder, a casual discussion with a former bartender revealed that there was much more to the tragic story, as seen in Oxygen’s “Dateline: Secrets Uncovered.”
When Angila was found dead in her Minot, she pursued her nursing degree at Minot State University and had recently learned she was pregnant with her fourth child.
Chris Jackson, her fiancé, had contacted 911 to report that when he returned home, the house’s back door had been kicked in. Officers discovered the couple’s 2-year-old son uninjured in his crib, and Angila stabbed to death in her bedroom when they stepped inside.
Minot Police Sgt. Dave Goodman told Dateline producer Keith Morrison that he didn’t know how many times she was stabbed at the time, but he knew it was vicious and that Angila had sustained roughly 40 stab wounds.
Angila had driven Jackson to work at Wal-Mart, according to Jackson. He also mentioned that Angila had been apprehensive about being alone that night.
