What happened to Tina Marie Risico who was kidnapped and returned in 1986?

Answer 1

Some years after the Wilder rampage of '84, Tina Risico was interviewed for the syndicated show A Current Affair. She basically recounted her days of terror with the madman Wilder, how she was tortured and raped, not allowed to change clothes, and had to help him abduct another victim. The segment basically ended with her telling how she was sent on an airplane back to California, with Wilder killing himself in a police shootout with New Hampshire state troopers days later. Absolutely NOTHING was mentioned about her personal life, the after-effects of her ordeal or whatever she did with her life afterwards. And there seems to have been nothing about her since. Hopefully she's doing well despite the torment she went through. You'd think with CourtTV, Oprah, and all the true crime that's happened since she'd resurface somewhere, but to the best of my knowledge that hasn't happened. That's all I know.

Answer 2

Tina Marie Risico, who had been kidnapped in 1986, was returned safely. The perpetrator was apprehended and convicted. The experience had a lasting impact on Tina and her family, but they received support and worked through the trauma together.
