Dennis Rader aka as BTK, which stood for “bind, torture, kill,” was a sexual deviant, a sadistic psychopath, who murdered 10 people.
He terrorized the Wichita, Kansas, area from 1974 to 1991 living a double life as a devoted family and company man by day, and a brutal killer with methods of binding, torturing, and killing victims.
He also taunted authorities through brazen correspondence with local news outlets. Rader’s alter ego resurfaced in 2004, and his penchant for leaving clues led to his arrest. He pleaded guilty to the murders the following year and is now serving 10 life sentences in prison.
The BTK murders began four years before Rawson was born and ended when she was 12.
