Summary

Today Taylar brings Morgan along with her to walk us through the case of the BTK Strangler from Wichita, Kansas. BTK was an active serial killer from 1974-1991 and was not arrested for his crimes until 2005. He had 10 victims, most of which were women and children. His name is Dennis Lynn Rader and no one in his life had any idea that he was the BTK Strangler. Today we will take you through the life and crimes of BTK, diving into his horrific mind and motive using forensic psychology. It is a very different research and reporting style compared to every other case we have covered in the past. It is distressing with lots of topics discussed in detail- making it not suitable for everyone. Yes, this is only the part one- the "good side" and the beginnings of the "dark side" (according to Dennis Rader) - we have decided to break this case into parts for the well being of ourselves and you- our listeners. Primary Sources: Confessions of a Serial Killer by Dr. Katherine Ramsland A Serial Killers Daughter by Kerri Rawson ABC 20/20 S41 EP23 "My Father BTK For all other sources, email us to request the files at creepsandcrimespodcast@gmail.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
