Wilder drove Beth Dodge's Firebird north toward the Canadian border On April 13, Wilder tried to grab another girl. He saw a 19 year old by the side of the road who's car had broken down. Wilder offered to give her a lift to get gas, but when he passed the gas station, she knew something was wrong. She insisted he stop, so he pulled out a gun. However, he had to slow down in one place, and she grabbed the opportunity to open the door and leap out. Rolling away, she managed to escape.
