A shocking new documentary has laid bare the X-rated prison video calls between double murderer Wade Wilson and his legion of adoring female fans, exposing a disturbing world of manipulation, sexual fantasy, and financial exploitation.
The 'Handsome Devil' and his 'Wives'
The film, titled 'Handsome Devil: Charming Killer', premieres on Paramount+ on Tuesday. It reveals how Wilson, 31, known as the 'Deadpool Killer', charmed a global harem of women – dubbed 'Wade's Wives' – while awaiting trial and later sentencing for the 2019 murders of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, in Cape Coral, Florida.
Wilson, currently awaiting execution in a Florida prison after receiving two death sentences in August 2024, used hours-long video calls from jail to beg for money and engage in explicit sexual talk. His supporters donated over $70,000 to a GoFundMe, with one woman contributing a staggering $24,000.
Explicit calls and financial demands
The documentary features extensive clips and interviews, including with one of Wilson's primary 'girlfriends', Alexis Williams. In one call, Wilson told a woman, "Your voice is so goddamn sexy I could just jack my d*** and get off." To Williams, he declared, "I will sink my fangs right into your f****** left butt cheek."
Williams, who was completely entranced, told him in a call: "I can't wait until you get out... we're going to have sex for hours." Wilson replied by asking if they were talking about "a marathon? A triathlon?"
Beyond the sexual talk, Wilson constantly pleaded for money to be put into his prison commissary account. He is seen convincing one woman to send him her last $10, and telling a male caller, "I haven't had pizza in months. It's only $12," prompting the man to offer $24.
The cult of celebrity and the ultimate disillusionment
Assistant Florida state attorney Sara Miller, a prosecutor on the case, expressed disbelief at the "thousands upon thousands" of calls Wilson received. "He's the ultimate bad boy," she said, noting his appeal was heightened after his mugshot, with its Joker-like tattoos, went viral.
Williams's devotion was so strong she tattooed his name on her wrist and spent thousands on designer clothes for his court appearances. However, her support crumbled during the trial as she heard the gruesome details of his crimes and his confession to police that he had become like a "devil".
The final breaking point was the testimony of victim Diane Ruiz's son, Zane Romero, then 19, who said he nearly took his own life after his mother's murder. Williams told the documentary: "I hate Wade for it. That poor kid."
Chief Assistant State Attorney Rich Mantecalvo compared Wilson's appeal to Charles Manson, suggesting he was "building a cult following" of women following his commands.
According to the documentary, Wilson's support has since ebbed as he gained weight in prison and blew his commissary money on candy, a far cry from the 'handsome devil' who once captivated his fans.
