Michelle Lynn Korfman (November 8, 1966 - c. April 1, 1984) was a teenager killed by Christopher Wilder in 1984.
Case[]
Korfman was last seen leaving a modeling competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, where serial killer Christopher Wilder, attending while a wanted fugitive, selected her as a victim. Photographs show the suspect observing Korfman during the event, and he likely gained her trust by offering the ruse of photographing her to aid in her career.
Her remains were found over a month later near a rest stop in the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County, California. She was identified by dental records on June 15, 1984. It was determined that she had died by aspirating on dirt as her face was held to the ground; evidence of torture via multiple shallow stab wounds was observed; she had also been raped.
