Podcasts about BTK

During sessions documented in a recent documentary, Rex Heuermann described a structured four-day cycle: preparation, the killing and its aftermath, cleanup, and a buffer day. He said he timed his disposals, reducing the duration from over two minutes on his first to under forty seconds on his last — a self-competition in efficiency. He also stated he cannot connect the person who committed those acts to the person he considers himself to be. This look back, with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, examines what those disclosures reveal about the psychological architecture of a convicted serial killer.Scott analyzes the compartmentalization Heuermann describes — the claimed inability to merge his two selves — and whether it represents genuine dissociation or a performed narrative designed to maintain control even in confession. She examines the reported onset of violent ideation in adolescence, the escalation into action, and what FBI profiler John Douglas meant when he compared Heuermann to BTK and noted that Heuermann possessed an operational advantage Rader lacked. The question of whether Heuermann is still shaping the narrative from behind bars is central to Scott's analysis.The segment also addresses Victoria Heuermann — the daughter who sat across from her father in custody, heard his admission, forgave him immediately, and asked whether he ever thought about her during the killings. His answer — that the two worlds never crossed — is itself a clinical data point Scott examines. Victoria's processing of the disclosure, including reported depression and self-worth collapse, raises questions about the psychological inheritance of a serial offender's compartmentalization. Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth.

Have you ever sat with a serial killer before? Rex Heuermann asked that question to a therapist inside Suffolk County Correctional — and the way he asked it told her everything. It wasn't vulnerability. It was a man performing his own legend. What came after was far more revealing. This look back examines what the documentary sessions produced — details no courtroom would have.Heuermann described a four-day cycle he refined over years: preparation, the killing and what he called the aftermath, cleanup, and a buffer day. He said he timed his disposals with a stopwatch — from over two minutes on his first to under forty seconds on his last. He was competing with himself. Perfecting a system. And when he looks at crime scene photos in his cell, he says he can't connect the person in them to himself. The two worlds don't merge. FBI profiler John Douglas sat with the family therapist and gave his assessment — comparing Heuermann to BTK and noting that Heuermann had something Dennis Rader envied: the space, the room, the uninterrupted ability to carry out his compulsions.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down what the documentary revealed about the psychological architecture — the violent ideation that reportedly began in adolescence, the escalation into action, the compartmentalization that allowed him to function as a husband and father while killing. She examines whether his confession-session behavior represents genuine disclosure or another form of the control that defined the crimes themselves. Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth.

Wichita, Kansas, 1974: A killer has just rang his own murder hotline. Nearly 1 year ago, the Otero family had been found brutally murdered inside their own home. And now their killer was ready to take credit. He had an ego, and ambitions to become a famous monster. And as he goes onto kill more, he will continually make contact, taunting police, correcting investigators and terrorising the public as he spirals into becoming one of America's most sadistic serial killers ever: BTKResources:MADRE https://www.madre.org/ https://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresourcesFollow Outlore Podcast here:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNealeInsta - @outlorepodcast https://www.instagram.com/outlorepodcast/?__d=16d TikTok - @outlorepodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@outlorepodcast Get to know me on my Personal Channel YouTube - @ellieneale1 https://www.youtube.com/@ellieneale1 Insta - @eleanorneale https://www.instagram.com/eleanorneal...Tiktok - @eleanorneale https://www.tiktok.com/@eleanorneale?...Twitter - @eleanorxneale https://x.com/ELEANORXNEALE00:00 Case Overview05:28 The Otero Family26:02 Kathy Bright42:15 Shirley Vian50:51 Nancy Fox01:02:53 BTK's True Identity 01:22:39 Marine Hedge01:27:38 Vicki Wegerle01:30:55 Dolores Davis01:34:42 Why Did BTK Stop?01:39:53 MADRE01:41:30 Catching BTK

Victoria Heuermann sat across from her father in a jailhouse room, heard him admit to killing eight women in the house where she grew up, and forgave him on the spot. She asked if he ever thought about her while he was doing it. He said no — the two worlds never crossed. This look back, with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, examines what that exchange reveals about both the daughter and the father.Scott breaks down what happens psychologically to a child who discovers their parent is a serial killer — how the brain rewrites safe memories when the home turns out to be a crime scene, what Victoria's immediate forgiveness actually represents, and whether her statement that her father was a loving dad and a serial killer can coexist as truth or whether it's a form of the same compartmentalization that allowed Rex to kill. The documentary showed a young woman whose self-worth has been destroyed, who has cycled between depression and anger since the arrest, and who has questioned whether she should even be here.Scott also examines what the documentary revealed about Rex himself — the sessions where he described a four-day cycle refined over years, disposals he timed with a stopwatch, and a disconnect between the person reviewing crime scene photos in his cell and the person who created them. FBI profiler John Douglas compared him to BTK. The question Scott keeps returning to: is Rex still controlling the narrative even in confession — and is Victoria's forgiveness another thing he's shaping from behind bars? Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth.

She asked the question no daughter should ever have to ask: did you ever think about me when you were doing this? Rex Heuermann said no. The two worlds never crossed. Victoria Heuermann heard that answer sitting across from her father in a jailhouse room — after he'd just admitted to killing eight women in the house where she grew up — and she forgave him on the spot. This look back sits with both halves of that exchange and everything they reveal.Nobody thinks about the daughter of the serial killer. Victoria said that herself. And the documentary showed what living inside that identity looks like — a young woman cycling between depression and anger, whose sense of self has been shattered, who has questioned whether she should even be here. She said her father was a loving dad and a serial killer. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines whether those two things can coexist as truth, or whether that framework is itself a form of the compartmentalization that allowed Rex to do what he did.Then the documentary went deeper into Rex's own mind. Sessions where he described a four-day cycle refined over years. Disposals timed with a stopwatch. Crime scene photos he reviews in his cell while claiming he can't connect himself to the person who created them. He asked the therapist if she'd ever sat with a serial killer before — not with vulnerability, but with performance. FBI profiler John Douglas compared him to BTK. Scott examines whether Rex is still controlling the narrative even in confession — and whether Victoria's forgiveness is something she arrived at freely, or something he's still shaping from behind bars.

Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in connection with the stabbing deaths of his parents. He remains held without bail, capital punishment has not been ruled out, and his siblings have formally distanced themselves from his defense. This look back examines both the procedural posture of the case and the family dynamics surrounding it.The not guilty plea preserves the defense's options while evaluation continues — potentially a legal insanity claim, a diminished-capacity argument addressing premeditation and the degree of the offense, or a competency determination. The high-profile attorney initially retained withdrew early in the proceedings, and representation passed to the county public defender's office. Reporting indicates the siblings do not intend to participate in the trial, and that the defendant's contact in custody has been limited largely to counsel.The segment situates the siblings' decision within a documented history of long-term intervention — repeated treatment, a prior conservatorship, and recurring crises — and then examines comparable cases for context. It references Peter Lanza's public estrangement from his son following the Sandy Hook attack, the Roof family's withdrawal from public life after the Charleston church murders, and Kerri Rawson's account of reconciling her father's identity as the BTK offender. Throughout, the analysis treats these as illustrative parallels rather than equivalencies, and distinguishes confirmed reporting from family statements and single-source accounts.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #JakeRomyReiner #TrueCrime #FamilyEstrangement #PeterLanza #KerriRawson #CriminalDefense #HiddenKillers

Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the stabbing deaths of his parents. He's held without bail, the harshest penalty remains on the table — and his siblings, Jake and Romy, are done. Sources close to the family put it bluntly: Nick's defense is Nick's defense, and they're not part of it.This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting, then turns to the harder human question underneath it. The high-profile attorney the family initially funded withdrew early on, leaving Nick with a public defender. Reports indicate his siblings won't attend the trial, and that in months of incarceration his only visitor has been his lawyer. After years of treatment programs, a conservatorship, repeated crises, and a lifetime of absorbing the fallout, two siblings reached the point where holding on was no longer possible.To understand that moment, this segment looks at three other families who arrived there before them: Peter Lanza, who stepped away from his son and later said he wished he'd never been born; the family who largely withdrew from public view after the Charleston church murders; and Kerri Rawson, who had to grieve her father, the man known as BTK, as two separate people — the dad she loved and the killer he hid.The question this segment asks isn't whether the Reiner siblings made the right call. It's what it cost them to stay as long as they did — and what the families who finally let go can teach the rest of us.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #JakeRomyReiner #TrueCrime #FamilyTragedy #Boundaries #PeterLanza #KerriRawson #HiddenKillers

In months behind bars, sources say Nick Reiner has had exactly one visitor: his attorney. His siblings, Jake and Romy, have stepped away completely — not funding his defense, reportedly not planning to attend his trial. This segment digs into both the legal strategy ahead and the behavioral reality of a family that finally reached its limit.We start with the mechanics. The not guilty plea kept every option open — a possible insanity defense, a diminished-capacity argument aimed at reducing the charge, or a competency challenge. This look back walks through what each path would require and where things stood at the time of our reporting. Then we turn to the people who stepped back: after years of treatment, a conservatorship, and repeated crises at the family home, two siblings decided they could no longer hold on.To make sense of that, we examine three families who faced the same impossible decision. Peter Lanza, who cut contact with his son and later spoke about wishing he'd never been born. The relatives who went largely silent after the Charleston church killings. And Kerri Rawson, whose father lived a double life as the BTK killer, forcing her to grieve two versions of the same man.This is a segment about the psychology of letting go — when love stops being a lifeline and becomes a liability, and what it does to the people who carry that decision for the rest of their lives.#NickReiner #RobReiner #JakeRomyReiner #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #Boundaries #PeterLanza #KerriRawson #FamilyTragedy #HiddenKillers

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of significant advancements and strategic shifts reshaping the industry landscape. To begin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taken a noteworthy step by selecting key industry players, including Eli Lilly, Regeneron, Fujifilm, and Kriya Therapeutics, for its PreCheck pilot program. This initiative is designed to enhance U.S. drug manufacturing capabilities, emphasizing the importance of robust domestic production. By reducing dependency on international supply chains, the program aims to expedite the delivery of critical therapies, highlighting a strategic move towards self-reliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In oncology news, Beone's Brukinsa (zanubrutinib), a small molecule BTK inhibitor, has demonstrated a remarkable 43% reduction in risk of progression for patients with first-line mantle cell lymphoma in its Phase 3 trial. This breakthrough offers a promising chemotherapy-free option for non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment, marking significant progress in targeted cancer therapies that could improve patient outcomes in previously underserved areas. Meanwhile, Boulevard Bio and Metis TechBio have sealed a substantial licensing agreement valued at $1.6 billion for MTS-128, a trispecific T-cell engager aimed at autoimmune diseases. This collaboration reflects a broader industry trend towards leveraging advanced AI and machine learning technologies to enhance the development of precision medicine and personalized therapies. Such partnerships indicate a shift towards more innovative approaches to tackling complex disease mechanisms and illustrate burgeoning interest in multispecific biologics within immunotherapy domains—offering new avenues for targeting multiple disease pathways simultaneously. On the regulatory front, Sanofi is advancing efforts to expand the U.S. label for Nexviazyme (avalglucosidase alfa) following successful Phase 3 trials for infantile-onset Pompe disease. As an enzyme replacement therapy targeting GAA enzyme deficiency, Nexviazyme could address a critical gap in treatment options for this debilitating genetic disorder, underlining the importance of regulatory pathways in facilitating access to life-saving therapies. Financially, Beeline Medicines has garnered $126.3 million in Series A extension funding to propel its autoimmune programs originally sourced from Bristol Myers Squibb. Similarly, SmartBax has raised €6.3 million to advance its lead antibiotic program targeting multi-drug resistant infections. These investments underscore an unwavering focus on addressing unmet medical needs through innovative therapeutic solutions. Regulatory challenges persist as well; Unicycive Therapeutics faced FDA rejection due to third-party manufacturing deficiencies surrounding oxylanthanum carbonate. This setback emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining rigorous quality standards throughout drug production processes to secure regulatory approvals and ensure patient safety. Globally, China has achieved a milestone with the approval of the world's first CAR-T therapy for solid tumors—a significant leap forward given the historical challenges of applying CAR-T technology beyond hematological malignancies. This approval could transform cancer treatment paradigms globally and prompt similar regulatory advancements in other regions. In other developments, Abbvie and Genmab's combination therapy involving Epkinly has shown promise in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) trials following prior challenges with monotherapy approaches. This success story highlights the potential of combination therapies in enhancing outcomes for patients battling complex cancers like DLBCL. From a corporate perspective, Klick Health's acquisition of Oxford Pharmagenesis marks its third purchase in 18 months, expanding its global footprint and scientific capabilities—a testament to ongoing consolidation trends aimed at augmenting expertise and strategic growth within the sector. These developments collectively paint a picture of an industry dynamically evolving amidst scientific breakthroughs and regulatory recalibrations. As companies navigate this transformative landscape, their ability to adapt and innovate remains paramount for sustaining growth and addressing global healthcare challenges effectively. Stakeholders must remain agile to seize opportunities while mitigating inherent risks in this high-stakes environment that increasingly prioritizes patient-centric innovations.Support the show

Imugene Ltd managing director and CEO Leslie Chong talked with Proactive about the first complete response reported in the concurrent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, or BTKi, cohort of the company's ongoing Phase 1b azer-cel trial. Chong said the result was an important milestone for patients with limited remaining treatment options, particularly those who had relapsed on or become refractory to BTKi therapy. The first patient in the cohort, who had follicular lymphoma and had previously failed BTKi therapy, achieved a complete response at the Day 28 assessment. Chong explained that a complete response means the patient's cancer was “completely gone”, adding that patients who fail BTK inhibitors often have few alternatives. She said Imugene is evaluating whether azer-cel can be used concurrently with BTKi therapy to help restore or enhance treatment activity. She also highlighted the commercial relevance of BTKi therapy, describing it as a market worth about US$12 billion. Chong said azer-cel's off-the-shelf, allogeneic CAR-T profile could offer an availability advantage compared with traditional autologous CAR-T therapies, which may require patients to wait several weeks for their own cells to be re-engineered. Imugene has dosed four patients so far in the concurrent BTKi combination cohort and plans to provide further updates as the dataset matures.

In 1973, a 7-year-old girl was taken from her tent at a Montana campsite while her family slept. The FBI had no evidence, no witnesses, and no leads, but two agents in a basement at Quantico thought they could describe the killer based on the crime scene alone. What they built would be tested on some of the most notorious cases in American history, including the Ted Bundy manhunt, the Atlanta child murders, and the hunt for BTK. It also raised a question that still doesn't have a clean answer: can you really look at a crime scene and know who did it? This is episode 3 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're delving into the latest scientific breakthroughs, regulatory advancements, and strategic industry movements that are shaping the landscape of healthcare innovation. Kicking off with significant strides in drug approvals, Carsgen Therapeutics has marked a major milestone with the approval of satricabtagene autoleucel by China's National Medical Products Administration. This cell therapy is designed to target Claudin18.2-positive advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, a notoriously tough solid tumor. The approval follows successful Phase 2 trials, underscoring progress in targeted cancer therapies—a field particularly crucial for gastric cancers due to their heterogeneous nature. Meanwhile, Sanofi's Cenrifki (tolebrutinib) has gained approval in the EU for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis treatment. As a small molecule BTK inhibitor, it demonstrated efficacy during Phase 3 trials, providing a new avenue for managing progressive neurological disorders. This approval marks an important addition to therapeutic options for conditions with historically limited treatments. In parallel developments reflecting the shift towards precision medicine, Pierre Fabre's Braftovi (encorafenib) received European Commission approval as a first-line treatment for BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. Similarly, Gilead Sciences' Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) has been approved as a first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the EU, highlighting the expanding role of antibody-drug conjugates in oncology. AbbVie's Skyrizi (risankizumab) also gained European endorsement for pediatric use in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. As an IL-23 inhibitor monoclonal antibody, Skyrizi exemplifies the growing trend of biologics targeting autoimmune conditions with high specificity and efficacy. On the regulatory front, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and FDA have launched an unprecedented initiative to reduce clinical trial timelines. This reform aims at reinforcing U.S. leadership in drug development by addressing operational efficiencies crucial for accelerating new therapies' availability, especially in oncology and rare diseases. Efforts to expedite Phase 1 clinical trials by up to 12 months are underway by federal health agencies aiming to enhance U.S. competitiveness against China's burgeoning clinical development capabilities. Economic forecasts are predicting that Eli Lilly's tirzepatide will lead a surge in global drug sales driven by obesity treatments, potentially reaching $2 trillion by 2032. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, tirzepatide's success underscores the growing emphasis on metabolic disorders as major therapeutic targets due to their widespread prevalence and impact on public health. Strategic partnerships continue to shape the industry landscape. Merck KGaA and Versant Ventures have launched Saturnus Bio with a $50 million investment aimed at advancing therapies for rare genetic heart diseases. In another instance of strategic collaboration, Bayer is working with Iambic Therapeutics to leverage AI-driven discovery for challenging small-molecule targets, reflecting an increasing reliance on artificial intelligence to overcome traditional drug discovery hurdles. In clinical trials, Corxel Pharmaceuticals' CX11 met primary endpoints in Phase 2 studies for obesity, showcasing promising weight loss results with an oral GLP-1 small molecule. This advancement could potentially offer more accessible treatment options compared to injectable formulations. However, challenges persist as seen with Sangamo's bankruptcy filing amidst acquisition interest from Eli Lilly and Astellas, highlighting financial vulnerabilities even among pioneering gene therapy entities. Additionally, setbacks in pivotal trials like Exelixis' Zanzalintinib missing its colorectal cancer endpoint illustrate the high-risk nature of oncology drug development despite anticipated FDA approval. Across the sector, Pfizer's acquisition of Seagen faced hurdles when their antibody-drug conjugate sigvotatug vedotin failed in a Phase 3 trial for non-small cell lung cancer. This setback highlights risks inherent in biopharmaceutical investments and innovations. As these developments unfold, they reflect a dynamic industry driven by scientific innovation, strategic collaborations, and regulatory shifts aimed at enhancing patient care through more effective and tailored therapies. The increasing integration of technology such as AI in drug discovery further underscores the evolving landscape of pharmaceutical R&D toward precision medicine and operational efficiency. Today's insights not only signify groundbreaking scientific advances but also illustrate how companies adapt to regulatory environments and market opportunities—all critical elements that will shape the future direction of global healthcare delivery. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue exploring these transformative changes across the pharmaceutical and biotech industries on Pharma Daily.Support the show

Recovering in the hospital, he had a second vivid dream, this one of a UFO, and on May 30th of that year, while driving Highway 59 home from a checkup with his pregnant wife Janet, the couple watched a silent, glowing craft roughly 100 feet long hover over a pasture with two diffused lights — one yellow, one red — glowing at its rear. Cullen reported two more sightings along the same Yuma, Colorado stretch of road, one in 1980 and another in 1994 witnessed by his wife and three daughters, but the encounters faded from his mind until 1998, when he hit his thumb with a hammer and Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic spotted a piece of metal lodged in his forearm on the X-ray. Convinced the object was an alien implant, Cullen contacted Roger K. Leir, who surgically removed it on February 5th, 2000 in Thousand Oaks, California — a melon-seed-shaped fragment about 7 centimeters long, wrapped in a reddish-brown membrane, with a magnetic core that leapt half an inch off the table toward a magnet.From there the episode turns to March 20th, 1899, when Martha Place became the first woman executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York, a procedure so unfamiliar with a female prisoner that her executioners cut a slit in the black dress she had sewn herself to reach her ankles. Born Martha Garrettson in Millstone, New Jersey in 1849, she had been struck in the head by a sleigh at 23 and, her brother believed, never fully recovered. After marrying widower William Place and coming to hate her teenage stepdaughter Ida, she threw acid into the 17-year-old girl's face on February 7th, 1898, smothered her with bedding, and waited with an ax for William, whom she wounded as he stepped through the door. Governor Theodore Roosevelt refused to commute her sentence, and after the words "God help me," 1,760 volts ended her life at the age of 49.Next comes the urban legend of the licked hand, in which a girl left home alone with her German Shepherd reaches down through the night to feel a reassuring lick, only to wake and find her dog skinned in the shower and the words "Humans can lick too" scrawled on the mirror. The legend's roots reach back to an 1871 entry in The Diary of a Victorian Squire by Dearman Birchall, run through M.R. James's 1919 story "The Diary of Mr. Poynter," and surface in the film Urban Legend with its "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights" variant. Folklorists including Trevor Blank of SUNY Potsdam account for the tale's endurance, and its dread finds a real-world echo in Dennis Rader, the BTK strangler, who cut the phone lines at Marine Hedge's home on April 27th, 1985 and hid in her closet for hours before she returned.The episode then examines a double murder rooted in reality television, the case of the Stockdale family, who appeared on an April 23rd, 2008 episode of Wife Swap trading mothers with the easygoing Tonkovic household. Raised under a strict religious regime that banned video games, dating, and most contact with the outside world, Jacob Stockdale fatally shot his mother Kathy and his brother James in the head on June 15th, 2017 in Beach City, Ohio, then survived a self-inflicted gunshot. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and tried more than once to flee the mental institution holding him, including a plan to hide behind stacks of books being carted out, but Dr. Arcangela Wood judged him sane at the time of the killings. Jacob ultimately pleaded guilty and received two consecutive 15-year terms, 30 years for the deaths of his mother and brother.The episode closes with an account written by UFO Insight's Marcus Lowth and told to him by a man he calls Steve, who first heard breathing beside his face at age three or four in 1970s Newcastle, England. The encounters escalated over the following years — an invisible finger shoving his cheek, the manifestation of a grey-haired man around 50 in an old-fashioned suit at his bedside, and a push that sent him tumbling down a full flight of stairs in daylight. When the family moved to a semi-detached house near Sheffield in Yorkshire, the presence followed, culminating one night around midnight when Steve, then eight or nine, felt invisible knees pin him to the mattress and unseen hands tighten around his throat until the grip suddenly released and the breathing drained away into the distance. It never returned, leaving unresolved whether the entity was a poltergeist drawn to a child, the lingering ghost of an old man, or something demonic that fixed on a person rather than a place.

Little Sister joins us for a blissful Torgo-less episode as we talk about geeky stuff, including Pickles, Steve unboxes a statue, David's butt, The Boys ending, Masters of the Universe, The Tuner, Krypto buckets, assholes in Vegas, smoking brisket, For All Mankind, Normal, Backrooms, popcorn buckets, Mandalorian and Grogu, Return of the Archmage: OP MC System Apocalypse Regression Litrpg, what Progression Fantasy is, Trekkies/Trekkers, BTK, Doctor Who shakeup, Supergirl's pierced ears, and more.  So pucker up for a fisting, it's time for a Geekshock.

In a typewritten question left for the Wichita Police Department in January of 2005, Dennis Rader asked the cops, in writing, whether a floppy disk could be traced back to him. The question was inside an empty cereal box he had left for them in the bed of a pickup truck at a Home Depot parking lot. He signed it with his self-given initials. He asked them to be honest.The Wichita Police Department answered through a small classified ad in the Wichita Eagle. They told him no. A floppy disk could not be traced.That was not true.In the fifth and final chapter of True Crime Today's BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the trap Lieutenant Ken Landwehr had been building since March of 2004. The thirteen-year silence Rader broke when he could no longer tolerate being ignored. The eleven separate communications that followed. The eleven months of polite, formal responses through classified ads that fed Rader's hunger for attention while the task force quietly built its case.The episode covers the February 16, 2005, arrival of a purple Memorex floppy disk at KSAS-TV in Wichita. The Microsoft Word file metadata that named Christ Lutheran Church in Park City and a user account named Dennis. The phone call from Wichita Police to Pastor Michael Clark that ended the case in a single conversation. The DNA confirmation from Rader's daughter Kerri Rawson's medical records, obtained under warrant without her knowledge or consent at the time. The February 25, 2005, arrest. The thirty-plus-hour confession.Dennis Rader was not caught by sketches, voice recordings, or FBI profiles. He was caught by his own vanity asking a question and his own ego believing the answer.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In August of 2023, the Osage County Sheriff's Office in Oklahoma released a journal entry written in Dennis Rader's own handwriting. The entry described a fantasy of taking a young woman from a laundromat. Rader had a title for it. He had written it on the page. "Bad Wash Day."The reason that journal entry was released matters. On June 23, 1976, a sixteen-year-old Pawhuska, Oklahoma, cheerleader named Cynthia Dawn Kinney finished her shift at her aunt and uncle's laundromat. She was reportedly last seen getting into a car with two women she did not appear to know. She has never been seen alive since. Her body has never been found. Almost half a century later, her family is still waiting.In the fourth chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the thirteen years between Rader's last confirmed Kansas killing in 1991 and his March 2004 resurfacing, and the question that has been driving cold-case investigators in multiple states since 2023. Did Dennis Rader actually stop, or did the system miss him?The episode covers Sheriff Eddie Virden's 2023 task force announcement. The August 2023 excavation of a property near Rader's former Park City home. Dr. Katherine Ramsland's "powering down" framework from a decade of correspondence. The March 2024 ruling out of the Shawna Beth Garber case as Rader's. The continuing disagreement between the Osage County Sheriff's Office, which still names Rader a prime suspect in the Kinney case, and the Osage County District Attorney, who has publicly said the evidence does not support charges.Dennis Rader is eighty-one. The families are aging. The case is not closed.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2023, an Oklahoma sheriff named Eddie Virden announced a multi-state task force to investigate cold cases potentially connected to Dennis Rader during the years Rader was officially considered inactive. In August of that year, deputies excavated a property near Rader's former Park City, Kansas, home using cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar. In March of 2024, Missouri authorities officially ruled out one case, Shawna Beth Garber, and attributed it to a different man, Talfey Reeves, who had died in 2021.Twenty years after his arrest, the BTK case is still being worked.In the fourth chapter of host Tony Brueski's five-part Hidden Killers investigation, the thirteen-year period between Rader's last confirmed killing and his 2004 resurfacing gets walked through honestly. The standard story is that he stopped. Got it under control. Aged out. The actual answer is more complicated, and several investigative offices around the country still believe parts of his record are incomplete.The episode covers what Dr. Katherine Ramsland concluded about Rader's "powering down" cycles after more than a decade of correspondence with him. It covers the Cynthia Dawn Kinney disappearance from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in June of 1976, and the 2023 release of a Rader journal entry titled "Bad Wash Day" describing a fantasy of taking a young woman from a laundromat. It covers the divergence between the Osage County Sheriff's Office, which still considers Rader a prime suspect in the Kinney case, and the Osage County District Attorney's office, which has publicly stated the evidence does not support charges.This is the fourth uncomfortable truth of the series. The BTK case is closed for the ten murders in Kansas. It is not closed for the rest.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mary Capps worked as the only other compliance officer in Park City, Kansas, for more than six years. She reported directly to Dennis Rader. She would later tell the Wichita Eagle that he had never paid her a compliment in six years. That he discriminated against her because she was a woman. That he had created a hostile workplace she could not endure.After Rader's arrest in February of 2005, Mary Capps filed an EEOC complaint and a Kansas Human Rights Commission complaint against the city of Park City for the work environment he had built. She also said, in her own words, the things her coworker had been that nobody had publicly said before. Hateful. Condescending. Egotistical.She was one of at least five people on the record, after the arrest, describing what they had felt about Dennis Rader before anybody knew. A neighbor whose wife watched him film their back yard. A divorced single mother whose dog he killed. A Cub Scout parent who pulled her son from his pack. A neighbor across the street who, after sixteen years of knowing him, called him "definitely two-sided."In the third chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the gap between what people who knew Dennis Rader sensed about him and what nobody was able to put together until after his arrest. The official roles. The community positions. The city paychecks. The institutional letterhead Dennis Rader collected over thirty years.This is the third uncomfortable truth. The cultural picture of a serial killer in 1995 did not include the city compliance officer with the clipboard. The cultural picture was wrong, and the people whose instincts had been correct could not get anybody to listen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dennis Rader was the council president of Christ Lutheran Church in Park City, Kansas, on the morning of February 25, 2005. The Wichita Police Department was, at the same moment, on its way to arrest him. The thing that had identified him as BTK was a metadata trace from a Microsoft Word document he had saved to a church computer in his role as council president.He had volunteered for the council. He had volunteered to print agendas. He had risen through the ranks to council president, the visible layperson at a small congregation. He had been doing both jobs for years. The killing and the church. The Cub Scout pack and the typed letters to the press. The compliance officer truck and the kits in the garage.In the third chapter of host Tony Brueski's five-part Hidden Killers investigation, every official role Dennis Rader chose for himself gets examined for what it actually gave him. The ADT alarm installer job that put him inside hundreds of Wichita homes legally during the most active years of his killing. The Cub Scout pack leader role that put him in front of children while teaching them the family of knots that had been showing up at his crime scenes since 1974. The Lutheran council seat that gave him community standing and, eventually, identified him to investigators. The Sedgwick County Zoning Appeals seat. The Animal Control Advisory Board. The compliance officer truck.This episode also walks through Misty King's story. A Park City divorcee who fled the state with her two children after Dennis Rader, in his city role, made her life unlivable.This is the third uncomfortable truth of the series. Dennis Rader did not hide despite his costumes. He hid inside them.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

– Detta är en repris från 2023 –Dennis Rader är en helt vanlig man. Han går i kyrkan, han är gift och han har barn. Men bakom den där helt vanliga fasaden döljer sig något annat.

– Detta är en repris från 2023 –Söndagen den 13 november 2022 kommer en nyhet som kommer att chocka och förfära invånarna i Idaho. Fyra universitetsstudenter har hittats mördade, knivhuggna till döds i sina egna sängar. Sex veckor senare grips en misstänkt, en ung kille som pluggat kriminologi med drömmar om att själv bli polis. Han har tagit kurser om den ökända seriemördaren BTK som i över 30 år höll Kansas-invånarna under total skräck. En mördare som både fascinerat och skrämt experter. En seriemördare som innan sin debut själv studerat tidigare seriemördare med ambition om att själv bli en.Det här är del ett om seriemördaren BTK.Fall: BTK[REKLAM] Länk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/spoktimmen KontaktInstagram: @spoktimmen@linnek@jennyborg91 Facebook: Spöktimmen Mail: spoktimmenpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Kevin Bright was nineteen years old when Dennis Rader shot him twice and left him for dead in his sister Kathryn's house in Wichita on April 4, 1974. Kevin survived. His sister did not. Before Kevin went into surgery, with one of Rader's bullets still inside his head, he gave Wichita detectives a description of the man who had attacked them.A police sketch artist drew the face. On April 23, 1974, that drawing ran on the front page of the Wichita Eagle. Nineteen days after the attack. Dennis Rader was free in Park City, Kansas. He would remain free for the next thirty-one years.In his own 2005 confession, Rader said the sketch was, in his words, uncomfortably close to him. He said no one ever came for him.In the second chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through every piece of Dennis Rader that the Wichita Police Department had in evidence rooms during the years he was still operating. A sketch in 1974. A confession letter inside a library book in 1974. A voice tape in 1977. A poem in a sealed package in 1979. A neighbor of his killed in 1985 and one of his own residents killed in his own jurisdiction in 1991.The chase did not close because Wichita Police were incompetent. The chase did not close because Dennis Rader was a mastermind either. The chase did not close because the system, in a small city in the 1970s and 80s, did not yet know how to look at its own data. And the people paying the price for that gap, including a grieving husband suspected of his wife's murder for eighteen years, did not deserve to carry the cost.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bill Wegerle was a suspect in his own wife's murder for eighteen years. From the day Vicki Wegerle was killed in their Wichita home in September of 1986 until the day in March of 2004 when the actual killer mailed her stolen driver's license to a local newspaper, Bill Wegerle lived under suspicion of a crime he did not commit. His two children grew up under that shadow.The man who killed Vicki Wegerle was Dennis Rader. The same Dennis Rader who, twelve years earlier, had written letters to the same Wichita newspaper claiming responsibility for the Otero family killings under the name BTK. The same Dennis Rader whose voice was on a 911 tape that had been played on every Wichita TV and radio station. The same Dennis Rader whose 1974 police sketch had run on the front page of the Wichita Eagle.In the second chapter of host Tony Brueski's five-part Hidden Killers investigation, the file Wichita Police had been quietly building since 1974 gets laid out in order. The Bright family attack. The Otero letter. The Nancy Fox 911 recording. The Anna Williams sealed package. The Marine Hedge case, where Rader killed his own next-door neighbor and went home to bed. The Vicki Wegerle case that did not break open because the BTK task force had been folded into a smaller operation by the time it happened.This is the second uncomfortable truth of the series. Dennis Rader was not too clever for Wichita Police. The Wichita Police had pieces of him for three decades. The pieces did not get put together. The cost was carried by families who did not deserve to carry it.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For half a century, the BTK Killer story has been told the way Dennis Rader wanted it told. Factor X. The Minotaur. The BTK brand. Every term that has anchored his mythology came from a typewriter in his own kitchen in Park City, Kansas. Every term was his.In this first chapter of a five-part investigation from True Crime Today, host Tony Brueski sets the version of Dennis Rader that documentaries have repeated for forty-seven years next to the actual investigative file. The two don't match.The man who wrote the 1978 Factor X letter to KAKE-TV was a thirty-two-year-old husband and father. An alarm installer for ADT in Wichita. A student at Wichita State University working toward a degree in the administration of justice. He had taken courses on profiling. He knew what serial killers were supposed to sound like in the cultural imagination of the late seventies. He typed himself into the role.The press printed his words. The cops filed his words. The country read his words. And for nearly fifty years, when somebody has tried to explain Dennis Rader, they have explained him the way he wanted to be explained.This episode walks through the 1978 letter sentence by sentence. The literary references he borrowed from. The cultural figures he compared himself to. The contradictions inside the letter that read, in retrospect, less like the confession of a possessed killer and more like the audition tape of a man trying out for a role.The series will continue with the chase that didn't close, the official roles that made him invisible, the thirteen-year silence between his confirmed killings, and the floppy disk that ended his thirty-one years of getting away with it.

Dennis Rader was the BTK Killer. He was also the man who named himself the BTK Killer. He typed the name onto an envelope and mailed it to the Wichita Eagle in October of 1974, and the city has been calling him by that name ever since.In the first chapter of a new five-part investigation, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski takes apart the mythology Dennis Rader built around his own crimes. Factor X. The Minotaur. The BTK brand. None of it came from a profiler. None of it came from a detective. All of it came from a man at his own kitchen typewriter in Park City, Kansas, while his wife slept down the hall.For nearly fifty years, the BTK story has been told in his words and his frame. Documentaries quote his letters. Books quote his letters. Podcasts quote his letters. The version of him in the cultural imagination is the version he composed about himself.The actual file shows something different. A criminal justice student at Wichita State who'd taken classes on offender profiling. An alarm installer who had legal access to hundreds of Wichita homes. A husband and a father who chose, at thirty-two, to begin writing himself a role he could spend the rest of his life playing.This episode walks through what Rader wrote, when he wrote it, what he borrowed from, and the press response that made the legend official. The series will follow with the chase that didn't close, the costumes that made him invisible, the thirteen-year silence between his confirmed murders, and the catch that ended his run in 2005.This is the first uncomfortable truth. Dennis Rader was not a force of evil. He was a vain man with a marketing plan and a typewriter that worked.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the second half of this interview, Keyes shares his thoughts on other serial killers like BTK, Ted Bundy, and The Green River Killer. Then he discusses his plans for the future, losing control, and how the facade of his life was moving further and further away from who he really was. He also goes into detail regarding the New York victim, the Curriers, breaking into homes, arsons, and fatherhood... and public art.TROVA TRIP to Costa Ricahttps://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-josh-hallmark-nov-2026SPONSORS• Boll and Branch: BollAndBranch.com/truecrimebs for 20% off your first order with code: TRUECRIMEBS• Quince: Quince.com/TCBS for free shipping and 356-day returns.• BetterHelp: BetterHelp.com/TCB for 10% off your first month.• AquaTru: AquaTru.com for 20% off using promo code LONGSHORTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support.

In today's episode, we welcomed Luhua (Michael) Wang, MD, to discuss the implications of the full FDA approval of brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus; brexu-cel) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Dr Wang is a professor in the Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma in the Division of Cancer Medicine, as well as a professor in the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.On April 2, 2026, the FDA granted traditional approval to brexu-cel based on data from the phase 2 ZUMA-2 trial (cohorts 1 and 2, NCT02601313; cohort 3, NCT04880434), with confirmatory data from cohort 3 showing that patients naive to a BTK inhibitor experienced an overall response rate (ORR) of 91% (95% CI, 82.5%-95.9%), a complete response (CR) rate of 79% (95% CI, 69.0%-87.1%), and a median duration of response (DOR) that was not reached (NR; 95% CI, 26.2 months-not evaluable).Dr Wang detailed the evolution of therapies in the MCL treatment paradigm, leading up to the approval of brexu-cel and the integration of CAR T-cell therapy. Along with highlighting the evolution of MCL management, Dr Wang explained how data from cohort 3 of ZUMA-2 add further context to the role of CAR T-cell therapy in the treatment paradigm and how it may affect treatment sequencing considerations.

Drs. Wierda and O'Brien discuss how fixed-duration venetoclax-based therapy can match continuous BTK inhibitor treatment in CLL while offering deep remissions and time off therapy. They also explore promising real-world CAR T-cell (liso-cel) results and stress the growing importance of vaccination and cancer screening as CLL patients live longer.

He had a family. A job. A role in his church. And for decades, no one suspected he could be the BTK killer.The story of The Hunt for the BTK Killer, is disturbing enough. But the psychology behind it is even more unsettling.Famed forensic psychologist Dr. Katherine Ramsland shares what she learned through her personal relationship with Dennis Rader: from the childhood patterns that shaped him, to the way he switched between personalities, to how he was able to live with what he’d done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House Judiciary Committee just dropped a 47-page report calling the National Residency Match Program a hiring monopoly that harms patients, doctors, and the public — and the surgical community is talking. In this episode, Dr. Patrick Georgoff is joined by BTK surgical education fellows Dr. Emma Burke and Dr. Agnes Prem Kumar, along with special guest Dr. Brian Carmody (aka the Sheriff of Sodium), a pediatric nephrologist and one of the sharpest analysts of medical education policy working today. Together, they break down the report's central claims: that the NRMP exercises monopolistic control over residency hiring, suppresses resident wages, and strips trainees of bargaining power — and they separate what the report gets right from where its rhetoric badly outruns its evidence. From the history of Section 207 and the antitrust lawsuit that nearly brought down academic medicine, to the real economics of GME funding, resident unionization, and what a match-free world would actually look like — this is the context you need to understand one of the most consequential debates in graduate medical education in years. Don't miss Dr. Carmody's six-part YouTube series on the match, linked in the show notes.Congressional Report: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-exposes-how-medical-residency-hiring-monopoly-harms-patients-andThe Match 6-Part Video Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc36yFQWkuG1sXk62A3zeRWB8aoK5SISPThe Sodium Sheriff Blog:  https://thesheriffofsodium.com/***Fellowship Application Link: https://forms.gle/QSUrR2GWHDZ1MmWC6Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium:General Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewOral Board Simulator: https://app.behindtheknife.org/oral-board-simulatorTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-audio-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

When the immune system misfires, it can cause very different rare diseases that, on the surface, don't seem related at all. Sanofi, though, is exploring similarities in rare autoimmune conditions that may allow it to treat a number of different disorders with a single therapy. We spoke to Pablo Sardi, head of rare disease research at Sanofi, about the company's oral BTK inhibitor rilzabrutinib, the challenges of testing one drug in different rare diseases, and how this kind of approach might push doctors to focus less on symptoms and more on the root causes of a rare disease.

Dennis Rader looked like the last person you would ever suspect. A church leader. A husband. A father. A man trusted by his community. But behind that ordinary life was something far more calculated.Known as BTK, Bind, Torture, Kill, Rader terrorized Wichita, Kansas in the 1970s before disappearing for decades. He didn't get caught because he slipped up during a crime. He got caught because he needed to be seen.In this episode, Brittany Ransom breaks down the psychology behind one of America's most infamous serial killers. From the early fantasies that shaped him, to the methodical murders that built his identity, to the ego-driven mistake that finally exposed him.This isn't just a story about violence.It's about control. About duality.  And about how someone can live an ordinary life while hiding something unthinkable.Because Dennis Rader didn't stand out.

Jake and Romy Reiner are done. Sources close to the family told TMZ directly: "Nick's defense is Nick's defense. They're not involved." The high-profile defense attorney they initially funded—Alan Jackson, known for winning the Karen Read acquittal—withdrew from the case in January. Nick Reiner now has a public defender. Reports indicate his siblings won't attend the trial. In over two months of incarceration, his only visitor has been his lawyer. This Hidden Killers Week In Review examines what brought two siblings to this point—and what his not guilty plea actually signals.Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the December 14th stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, at their Brentwood home. But that plea wasn't a claim of innocence. It was a procedural placeholder keeping all defense options open.In California, pursuing an insanity defense requires a dual plea. The single not guilty keeps doors open while psychiatric evaluations continue. Door one: full insanity under M'Naghten—a longshot given Nick was arguing with his father at a party hours before the killings. Door two: diminished actuality using his schizoaffective disorder to argue he couldn't form specific intent. Door three: incompetence to stand trial.After eighteen rehabs, a conservatorship, and years of police visits to the family home, what does it cost to finally stop holding on? Tony Brueski examines what three other families can teach us. Peter Lanza walked away from Adam after Sandy Hook. The Roof family went silent after Charleston.

The Nick Reiner murder case reached a new turning point when siblings Jake and Romy Reiner — children of the late Rob and Michele Singer Reiner — officially distanced themselves from Nick's defense following his not guilty plea on February 23rd, 2026.Nick Reiner, 32, faces two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the December 14th, 2025 stabbing deaths of his parents at their Brentwood, California home. He is held without bail. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has not ruled out the death penalty. His next hearing is April 29th, 2026.Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that Jake and Romy no longer plan to fund a private defense attorney — and that they will not attend the trial. The family had previously hired prominent defense attorney Alan Jackson, who withdrew in January citing circumstances he said were legally and ethically impossible to disclose. Public defender Kimberly Greene is now Nick's sole legal representation. In more than two months of incarceration, she is reportedly the only person who has visited him.True Crime Today's Tony Brueski examines the legal and personal implications of the family's decision, and places it alongside three high-profile cases where families made the same impossible choice: Peter Lanza after Sandy Hook, the family of Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, and Kerri Rawson — daughter of BTK killer Dennis Rader — who processed her grief in a memoir that reframed what it means to love someone who turns out to be capable of something monstrous.With the death penalty on the table and a preliminary hearing to be scheduled April 29th, the Reiner case is far from over. But for Jake and Romy, it may already be.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A deleted file recovered from Rex Heuermann's basement allegedly contains the Long Island Serial Killer's step-by-step methodology. According to prosecutors, eighty-seven details match how the Gilgo Beach victims were killed.The document—titled HK2002-04—was found on one of fifty-eight hard drives seized from the Massapequa Park home. Created in 2000 and modified through 2002, it allegedly contained sections for supplies, body preparation, and "lessons learned."According to court documents: A "Supplies" section allegedly listed cutting tools, acid, tarps, and cat litter. A "Body Prep" section allegedly stated: "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos." A "Things to Remember" section allegedly contained: "Hit harder... light rope broke under stress." The document allegedly referenced specific pages in FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter.Jessica Taylor's remains were found along Ocean Parkway with her head removed and tattoos mutilated. DA Ray Tierney stated: "The exact method by which these murders were committed in excruciating detail in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims."Twenty-seven years under the same roof produced two completely opposite conclusions. Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero" and described jail visits as feeling like "a first date." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer" after speaking with BTK's daughter about having an alleged killer for a father.According to prosecutors, female hairs found on multiple victims were allegedly consistent with DNA from both women. Neither is accused of involvement—the transfer allegedly came from Rex's clothing or their home.The daughter saw what the wife cannot. Both are victims of different truths.Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Trial is September 2026.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Based on the iconic, Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show explores some of the most difficult-to-solve murders, which stymied investigators and went cold, sometimes for decades. In fact, one-third of all murders in America remain open. But thanks to dogged investigators and breakthroughs in forensic technology, these cases become part of the rare 1% of cold cases that are ever solved. In this episode, the story of the hunt for one of the most notorious serial killers in recent American history - the BTK killer, who terrorized the Wichita, Kansas, area for years. After committing at least seven brutal murders, BTK (for Bind, Torture, Kill) vanished for over 25 years before sending clues of his crimes to the media in 2004. He continued to avoid capture until a forensic computer expert traced a computer disc that led investigators to a surprising suspect - a church council president.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
