Kindergarten Teacher Has No Idea She's Getting Arrested For Murdering a 8-Month Pregnant Woman
On November 13, 2015, Angila Wilder was found stabbed 44 times in her Minot,
North Dakota bedroom. She was pregnant. Her toddler was alone in the next room.
Police charged her ex-husband, Richie Wilder Jr., within a month.
It took a year and a half to charge the second suspect —
his new wife, a kindergarten teacher named Cynthia Louise Wilder.
She thought she'd gotten away with it.
Then an old boyfriend she was trying to sleep with put on a police wire.
This is the full interrogation and confession of Cynthia Wilder,
the elementary school teacher now serving life without parole
for conspiring to murder her husband's pregnant ex-wife.

Cynthia had already sat through her police interrogation. She lied for Richie.
Gave him an alibi. Walked out. Went back to teaching kindergarten.
For 18 months she thought she had won.
Then a man she was trying to date walked into the Minot Police Department
with her Facebook messages — and agreed to wear a wire.
Comment 🕊️ for Angila Wilder.
👇 Do you think the judge was right to hand down life without parole
when the prosecution only asked for 20 years?
