In August 2023, BTK once again made headlines worldwide when he was named the prime suspect in an Oklahoma teen's 1976 disappearance and a Missouri woman's killing in 1990. The investigation started with the reexamination of the disappearance of Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden decided to investigate a possible link between Rader and Kinney's disappearance when he learned that Rader had included the phrase “bad laundry day” in his writings.The investigation includes other unsolved murders and missing persons cases, including the death of 22-year-old Shawna Beth Garber, whose body was discovered in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. She had been raped, strangled and restrained with different bindings. As part of the investigation, police conducted a dig near Rader's former Kansas property in Park City.Through jailhouse visits, telephone calls, and written correspondence, Dr. Katherine Ramsland, the renowned professor of forensic psychology and author worked with Rader himself to analyze the layers of his psyche. Using his drawings, letters, interviews, and Rader's unique codes, she presents in meticulous detail the childhood roots and development of one man's motivation to stalk, torture, and kill. She reveals aspects of the dark motivations of this most famous of living serial killers that have never before been revealed. With exclusive conversations with Rader himself, comprehensive interviews, and access to Rader's drawings and coded diaries all paired with Dr. Ramsland's expertise, we get to know the man behind the moniker, the truth behind the headline and a glimpse at the secrets Rader is still holding onto.

Is notorious serial killer Dennis Rader, better known as BTK, responsible for even more unsolved disappearances? A deep dive into the concerns over evidence collection and the heart-wrenching quest for answers unveils the true complexity of such high-profile cases. The "Hidden Killers" podcast, featuring retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, provides a rare window into the professional and emotional challenges investigators face.    In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," a significant point of contention arose surrounding BTK's potential link to the 1976 disappearance of Cynthia Kinney. The District Attorney for Osage and Pawnee counties, Mike Fisher, voiced his reservations about implicating Dennis Rader in the case, due to the lack of substantial evidence to press charges. Meanwhile, Sheriff Eddie Virden of Osage County, having spearheaded a nationwide task force, seems convinced of Rader's involvement in not just Kinney's disappearance, but potentially other cold cases.    The heart of the matter, as presented by hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, revolves around two central issues. Firstly, there's the concern of procedural integrity. The manner in which evidence has been collected, especially as the Osage County Sheriff's Office apparently stepped outside their jurisdiction, raises serious questions. Are the obtained search warrants valid? Would the evidence be admissible in court, given the concerns about how it was collected?    Robin Dreeke touched upon the nuances, emphasizing, "If it's been done that way, yeah, that's a concern." He further elaborated on the danger of investigators becoming overly emotionally invested in cases, potentially leading to oversights or missteps in the process. In a particularly poignant moment, Dreeke noted, "Emotionally being invested in this versus being professionally invested in this and doing things the right way... there's much bigger things that could go wrong here."    In light of such concerns, the episode delved into the quintessential challenge of balancing the pursuit of justice with procedural propriety. While the pressing urgency to "right wrongs in society" is paramount, there are processes and rules designed to ensure that justice isn't just served, but served right.    Further adding to the conundrum is the revelation that some leads, directly linked to BTK, have been gathering dust for years. The existence of "trophies" — a chilling term used by killers to refer to mementos from their victims — buried in Rader's backyard shed was noted in a 2008 letter. Yet, it took until 2023 for any action to be taken on this information.    One could argue, why the delay? Dreeke offers a simple, albeit troubling, answer: resources. "There are not nearly enough people working these things to do it all," he states. The demands of prioritizing, often driven by public and media outcry, means some cases, or leads, are left by the wayside.    Reflecting on his time with the FBI, Dreeke offers insight into the agonizing choices that law enforcement personnel must make daily, juggling a multitude of "urgent" tasks. They're in a perpetual race against time, forced to make heart-wrenching decisions about where to allocate their attention. While the public's cries for justice echo loudly, law enforcement is constrained by the practicalities of resource allocation and the ever-present, towering backlog of cases.    It's a haunting reminder that behind every unresolved case, there's a team of individuals grappling with the knowledge that they couldn't do it all. As Dreeke poignantly remarked, referencing the film "The Guardian": "Sometimes you just can't do it all." The pursuit of justice is never black and white, and as the podcast episode reveals, even the most notorious cases aren't exempt from the shadows of uncertainty.

In the recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski engaged in a chilling conversation with Clinical and forensic psychologist & licensed private investigator Joni Johnston about the notorious BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) murderer, Dennis Rader. As more potential victims and connections to Rader emerge, the question that looms large is: how many secrets does the BTK killer still keep?    The conversation unveiled Johnston's association with a nationwide task force formed to probe deeper into the BTK's unresolved crimes. She revealed, "We all signed nondisclosure agreements... our role is just to look at the evidence... to see if there is any connection between Dennis Rader and some of the crimes that... appear to be potentially connected to him."    Gary Upton, a key informant, had previously pointed out that there might be four potential connections to Rader. The Cynthia Kinney case stands out among them, primarily because of the eerie drawings by Rader that mirror some aspects of the crime scene.    "The challenging thing when you're talking about drawings... is we know that serial killers... will journal or they'll draw, you know, both fantasies that they have as well as potentially crimes they've committed," Johnston said, highlighting the unsettling intersection of fantasy and reality in Rader's drawings and photographs. These artifacts often act as a macabre catalog of a serial killer's conquests, but discerning fact from fiction is no straightforward task.    Diving deeper into the psyche of Rader, Johnston reflected on the duality of his nature: the sadist in him that derived pleasure from torturing his victims, and the side that seemed to derive an equal amount of satisfaction by envisioning himself as the victim. She theorized, "This is somebody who is attempting to... relive the pleasure he experienced at the time by almost acting out his own kind of play or movie."    But why, despite being offered immunity, has Rader not come forward to clarify these potential connections? With his physical health deteriorating but mental faculties still sharp, the motivations behind his silence remain an enigma. While Johnston believes that only Rader can answer that question definitively, Kerry Rawson, Rader's daughter, has been invaluable in aiding the task force and law enforcement over the years, suggesting she might have some insight.    Johnston further alluded to suspicions about Rader initiating his violent streak during his Navy tenure overseas, a period he hasn't spoken about. She emphasized, "I don't think we can rule him out, but it does raise a question."    Brueski then brought up an intriguing point about Rader's current relationship with media attention. It appears Rader has found a renewed interest in the limelight, offering unsolicited insights into various cases. This behavior begs the question: is he genuinely trying to help, or is this another twisted game?    A significant concern raised during the discussion was the role of potential media opportunism, specifically the risk of a reality TV show influencing the investigation. Responding to this, Johnston candidly expressed her hopes that the integrity of the task force remains uncompromised, emphasizing, "The check or the reality check is always going to be the evidence or lack thereof."    The quest for the truth, bolstered by evidence from Wichita's untouched archives, remains the primary objective. Johnston concluded with a heartfelt sentiment, hoping for "directions of closure for some of these families."    But as we reflect on the chilling details discussed in "Hidden Killers", another unsettling question arises: how many more "hidden killers" remain buried in the annals of crime, waiting to be uncovered?

Decades after the capture of the notorious BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, Dennis Rader, unsettling whispers of previously unknown crimes emerge. As investigators pore over new evidence and potential connections, the line between the reality of Rader's crimes and the twisted fantasies of his mind remains frustratingly blurred. In a revealing conversation on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joined host Tony Brueski to peel back the layers of this intricate mystery.    For those who have followed the horror-ridden path of Rader's crimes, there's an ongoing quest for justice. "Everyone who's in this world that wants to find justice for these victims that have not found it yet, they're looking very closely at all of the evidence that has come to light," said Brueski, spotlighting two potential cases: one in Oklahoma and another, the Garber case in Missouri.    The Garber case is particularly intriguing. Shauna Beth Garber, a 22-year-old who disappeared, was found murdered in 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. "The autopsy revealed that she'd been raped," Brueski noted. This chilling detail deviates from the known modus operandi of Rader, introducing new layers of ambiguity. Despite Detective Lori Howard's statement that there's "no direct evidence connecting Rader to Garber", Kerri, Rader's daughter, believes otherwise.    Kerri's involvement adds an emotionally charged dimension to the investigation. Brueski emphasized the difference in perspective between Kerri and Detective Howard: "Obviously, one's an investigator, and one's the daughter of this horrible human being, but Kerri is a wonderful person." Scott also praised Kerri's resilience and dedication: "She's an amazing person... This is her path out of trauma."    Yet, the difficulties of linking Rader to these new cases remain. Scott explained, "Serial killers do vary their pattern. They try something different. So I think it's certainly a very reasonable possibility, but I don't know if they're gonna be able to tie him to it." The challenge is exemplified in the case of Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader whose connection to Rader is based primarily on a book he attempted to write, eerily recounting a similar narrative.    However, a lingering question surfaces: Why would Rader, already incarcerated for life, not confess to these potential crimes? Scott theorized that it might be "part of the game", a twisted pleasure in keeping the world guessing. She suggested that Rader might derive enjoyment from "keeping people guessing. And to come out and give the entire story would take that pleasure away."    Rader's advancing age and health raise another concern: the potential for cognitive decline. Brueski questioned whether aging might blur Rader's memories, melding fact and fiction. Scott acknowledged this possibility, stating, "it's certainly possible that at some point he will just not remember." However, Kerri's recent communications with Rader indicate that he remains "sharp as a tack", despite his deteriorating physical health.  Amidst the layers of speculation and partial truths, one thing is evident: Rader continues to wield his ability to confuse, intrigue, and terrify. As the world tries to untangle the extent of his heinous actions, the "Hidden Killers" podcast sheds light on the complexities of the quest for truth in the chilling legacy of Dennis Rader.

Decades after the capture of the notorious BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, Dennis Rader, unsettling whispers of previously unknown crimes emerge. As investigators pore over new evidence and potential connections, the line between the reality of Rader's crimes and the twisted fantasies of his mind remains frustratingly blurred. In a revealing conversation on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joined host Tony Brueski to peel back the layers of this intricate mystery.    For those who have followed the horror-ridden path of Rader's crimes, there's an ongoing quest for justice. "Everyone who's in this world that wants to find justice for these victims that have not found it yet, they're looking very closely at all of the evidence that has come to light," said Brueski, spotlighting two potential cases: one in Oklahoma and another, the Garber case in Missouri.    The Garber case is particularly intriguing. Shauna Beth Garber, a 22-year-old who disappeared, was found murdered in 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. "The autopsy revealed that she'd been raped," Brueski noted. This chilling detail deviates from the known modus operandi of Rader, introducing new layers of ambiguity. Despite Detective Lori Howard's statement that there's "no direct evidence connecting Rader to Garber", Kerri, Rader's daughter, believes otherwise.    Kerri's involvement adds an emotionally charged dimension to the investigation. Brueski emphasized the difference in perspective between Kerri and Detective Howard: "Obviously, one's an investigator, and one's the daughter of this horrible human being, but Kerri is a wonderful person." Scott also praised Kerri's resilience and dedication: "She's an amazing person... This is her path out of trauma."    Yet, the difficulties of linking Rader to these new cases remain. Scott explained, "Serial killers do vary their pattern. They try something different. So I think it's certainly a very reasonable possibility, but I don't know if they're gonna be able to tie him to it." The challenge is exemplified in the case of Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader whose connection to Rader is based primarily on a book he attempted to write, eerily recounting a similar narrative.    However, a lingering question surfaces: Why would Rader, already incarcerated for life, not confess to these potential crimes? Scott theorized that it might be "part of the game", a twisted pleasure in keeping the world guessing. She suggested that Rader might derive enjoyment from "keeping people guessing. And to come out and give the entire story would take that pleasure away."    Rader's advancing age and health raise another concern: the potential for cognitive decline.

Years after the arrest of Dennis Rader, the infamous "Bind, Torture, Kill" serial killer, a new investigation could link him back to a cold case dating back to almost 50 years ago. In 1976, 16-year-old Cynthia Kinney disappeared and was last seen at a laundromat at which she worked in Pawhuska, OK. Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden is investigating how Rader's writings and sketches could possibly link him to Cynthia's disappearance. However, Osage County District Attorney Mike Fisher has disputed Sheriff Virden's claims, saying there is insufficient evidence to link Rader to the crime. FOX 23 Anchor Rick Maranon has been following the feud between the Osage County Sheriff and District Attorney. He discusses the new BTK Task Force created by Sheriff Virden and shares the impact Cynthia's death has had on the local community.

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers" hosted by Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discussed the possibility that Dennis Rader, also known as the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, may be linked to more unsolved cases than previously thought. Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden recently initiated an investigation to find possible links between Rader and Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old who disappeared in the 1970s. This move was prompted after the discovery of the phrase "Bad laundry day" in Rader's writings, which could possibly be linked to Kinney's disappearance. During the podcast, Scott highlighted the difficulties in solving these cases, given Rader's penchant for mind games. Rader, who is serving 10 consecutive life terms for 10 murders committed between 1974 and 1991, has always been open about the crimes he committed. However, he has not claimed any responsibility for the Cynthia Kinney case. Scott shared, "You never know when a person like this is telling the truth... So I think it's a horrifying, real possibility that he was involved in this other disappearance." Rader's mental state and aging process were also discussed, particularly in relation to his willingness to reveal any past crimes. Brueski mentioned the case of the Golden State Killer, who, despite being of advanced age, did not disclose any information. Scott noted that there has not been any research on dementia in serial killers and how it may affect their willingness to disclose past crimes, which presents an intriguing area for study. Another case discussed in the podcast was that of Shawna Beth Garber, a 22-year-old whose body was discovered in 1990. The autopsy revealed that she had been raped, strangled, and restrained with bindings, which are similar to Rader's modus operandi, except for the rape. Rader admitted to getting sexually aroused by his crimes and pleasuring himself at the crime scenes but denied ever raping anyone. Scott mentioned that it's possible that Rader could be connected to this case, as serial killers' methods can sometimes vary. The episode also touched on the strange phenomenon of murderers keeping "trophies" from their victims. Recently, objects buried deep underground were found on Rader's former property in Park City. Scott explained that even if the trophies are not used for masturbation, which is common among serial killers, keeping them represents a bond with the victim. "It's almost like here's a tangible object that represents this person to me, and I've got it... there's this whole weird internal dynamic about being bonded together forever into eternity with your victims," Scott elaborated. Overall, the podcast episode shed light on the ongoing efforts to link Dennis Rader to other unsolved cases and the psychological complexities of serial killers. While Rader's declining health and mind games present challenges for investigators, the discussion highlighted the importance of continued research and investigation to bring closure to the families of the victims.

The BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Killer, Dennis Rader, has returned to the spotlight as investigators probe a possible link between him and the disappearance of Cynthia Kinney in 1976. The connection was instigated after it was discovered that Rader mentioned the phrase "bad laundry day" in his writings, intriguingly similar to the circumstances surrounding Kinney's disappearance from her parents' laundromat. Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden has been vocal about this development and the ongoing investigation into five cold cases, as revealed by Carrie Rosson, daughter of one of the victims. In the latest episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski discusses this chilling development with retired FBI Special Agent, Robin Dreeke. "How deep do we go here? How deep do you think we're going to go here as this horrible movie now gets its third installment. If nothing else, we'll, some of these families might finally find some rest of understanding what happened. And so that, I think, is potentially helpful," Brueski says, contemplating the magnitude of the situation. Dreeke then delves into the psychology of serial killers, explaining the conflicting desires of grandiosity and power and control. Many serial killers, like the BTK, seek attention and acknowledgment for their heinous acts while simultaneously wanting to withhold information to maintain a sense of power and superiority. This delicate balance often leads to partial confessions, where killers admit to some murders while keeping others secret. "And so it's balancing, you know, giving as much as you need to. To have the feeling of grandiosity and greatest in the world at their horrendous acts. At the same time holding some back because it makes me feel even better and more empowered that I got away with this and they never even knew about this," Dreeke explains. Rader, who has been vocal about certain cases since the emergence of the Kohberger case, has not yet confessed to the additional murders, despite a deal on the table that offers immunity in exchange for a confession. Brueski speculates that Rader, now 78, might be seeking a final moment of fame before his death. Dreeke agrees with this assessment, adding that people had stopped listening to Rader until the emergence of another serial killer with similar modus operandi brought him back into the public eye. In a shocking revelation, Sheriff Eddie Den, who spoke to Rader in his cell several times over the summer, shared that Rader voluntarily described a fantasy involving a girl in a laundromat, eerily similar to the Kinney case. This spontaneous admission, even before being informed of the case under investigation, raised questions about Rader's intentions. Dreeke theorizes that by reliving the fantasy with law enforcement, Rader is creating a new fantasy for himself, exercising control and power over them by captivating them with his story. The discussion highlights the complexities involved in dealing with serial killers and the delicate balance between their desires for grandiosity and power and control. As the investigation into the cold cases continues, it remains to be seen whether Rader will finally confess to the additional murders or continue to play mind games with law enforcement. Ultimately, the hope is that the families of the victims can finally find some semblance of peace and understanding. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Serial killer Dennis Rader, infamously known as BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill), is back in the headlines with connections to several cold cases. His daughter recently tweeted that there are about five unsolved missing person cases possibly attributed to her father. One case under close scrutiny involves Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader from Oklahoma who disappeared in 1976. Despite serving life terms for his known crimes, there is still the possibility of justice for these victims, as former prosecutor Laurie Gilbertson discussed on the podcast "Hidden Killers" with host Tony Brueski.    In the podcast, Gilbertson and Brueski discussed the possibility of more murders committed by Rader than previously known. Rader, now 78, has been vocal since the release of a book about another serial killer, Berger. Gilbertson speculated that Rader does not want another serial killer getting more attention than him, and as a result, he might be willing to share more information about his past crimes. This is a double-edged sword, as it could lead to the closure of cold cases but also give Rader the attention he craves. Gilbertson stressed the importance of not letting Rader's desire for publicity reopen old wounds for the victims' families.    Brueski noted that despite being offered immunity, Rader has denied involvement in the newly investigated cases. However, he has previously recounted a fantasy that eerily matches the details of one of the crimes being investigated. Gilbertson pointed out that this could be part of a game Rader is playing with the investigators, or he may not want to admit to these crimes due to his frail condition and the attention a courtroom appearance would bring. While Rader admitted guilt in his first trial, he does not necessarily have to this time, and the prospect of courtroom attention might be enticing for him.    The podcast touched on the challenges of understanding the minds of serial killers like Rader, Coberg, and Erman. A common trait among them is attention-seeking behavior. Gilbertson highlighted that Rader's desire for attention might be a motivating factor for him to engage with investigators and the legal process. As the investigation progresses, forensic evidence, witness accounts, and Rader's confessional writings will be crucial in determining his involvement in the newly investigated cases.    In summary, the recent investigation into cold cases potentially linked to Dennis Rader brings hope for justice and closure for the victims' families. However, it also raises concerns about giving attention to a serial killer who craves the spotlight. As the investigation unfolds, it will be important to balance the need for justice with the need to avoid giving Rader undue publicity. Ultimately, the goal is to provide closure for the families of the victims and hold Rader accountable for any additional crimes he may have committed. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dreeke agrees with this assessment, adding that people had stopped listening to Rader until the emergence of another serial killer with similar modus operandi brought him back into the public eye.    In a shocking revelation, Sheriff Eddie Den, who spoke to Rader in his cell several times over the summer, shared that Rader voluntarily described a fantasy involving a girl in a laundromat, eerily similar to the Kinney case. This spontaneous admission, even before being informed of the case under investigation, raised questions about Rader's intentions. Dreeke theorizes that by reliving the fantasy with law enforcement, Rader is creating a new fantasy for himself, exercising control and power over them by captivating them with his story.    The discussion highlights the complexities involved in dealing with serial killers and the delicate balance between their desires for grandiosity and power and control. As the investigation into the cold cases continues, it remains to be seen whether Rader will finally confess to the additional murders or continue to play mind games with law enforcement. Ultimately, the hope is that the families of the victims can finally find some semblance of peace and understanding. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosts Tony Brueski and Bob Motta, a defense attorney, discuss new developments in the investigation of the infamous BTK Killer, Dennis Rader. Rader, who was sentenced to ten consecutive life terms in 2005, is once again under the spotlight as investigators look into his possible involvement in other unsolved cases. The podcast delves into the renewed investigations, Rader's potential involvement in the unsolved murder of 16-year-old Cynthia Kinney, and the role his daughter, Kerri Rawson, is playing in helping law enforcement.    Sheriff Eddie Virden managed to get Rader to discuss one of his fantasies which, coincidentally, bore a striking resemblance to the case of Cynthia Kinney, whose body was never found. This led to a broader conversation about the hundreds of non-public writings of Rader, which investigators are keen to access. "I'm wondering with the 200 some things that we know that are in there, they're not public, I just talked to Coffindaffer about how do you get your hands on this thing and can we, can you do a FOIA request?" Brueski said.    Motta explained that while one can indeed make a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, it's unlikely to be successful if there is an active investigation. "If it gets to the point where they finally kinda shut down the investigation once and for all, like truly, then at that point we'll be able to get our hands on it," Motta stated. He emphasized the importance of keeping Rader talking, as he may inadvertently reveal information that could be linked to active investigations. "They just want to keep him talking and he wants to talk," Motta added.    Another aspect discussed during the episode was the role of Rader's daughter, Kerri Rawson, in the ongoing investigations. Rawson has been actively cooperating with law enforcement to help solve any existing cases. Brueski and Motta commended her bravery for publicly discussing her life as the child of a serial killer and for helping law enforcement understand how serial killers operate on a daily basis.    The hosts also discussed the possibility that Rader may be fabricating details to send law enforcement on a wild goose chase, but also acknowledged that if he provides details only the killer could know, that would be a different story. "Now the question becomes, you know, are there cases that aren't publicized, that there's no public information out there, that it's accessible to him via the internet, and he's giving details that only the killer could know? That's a different story," Motta said.    In summary, the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to solve cold cases potentially linked to the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader. It delves into the challenges faced by investigators in accessing Rader's non-public writings, the commendable role played by his daughter, Kerri Rawson, and the potential pitfalls in relying on the information provided by Rader. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether this new chapter in the BTK story will lead to closure for the families of the victims or if it is just another game played by Rader to regain the spotlight.

The notorious BTK serial killer, who once terrorized Kansas, is once again making headlines. Dennis Rader, the man infamously known for his chilling modus operandi to "bind, torture, and kill," is now considered the “prime suspect” in at least two cold cases, as announced by authorities on Wednesday.    Cold Cases Reopened:    The spark that reignited interest in Rader's potential involvement in additional crimes was the renewed investigation into the 1976 disappearance of Cynthia Kinney in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. This case, having been shelved and revisited intermittently over the decades, saw a resurgence of activity last December.    “With our proximity to Kansas and Wichita, Rader's known territory, it was only prudent to delve deeper into our cold cases," said Osage County, Oklahoma, Undersheriff Gary Upton. “The result was the unearthing of numerous unsolved homicides and missing persons cases that potentially have BTK's fingerprints all over them."    Further compounding the suspicion, another cold case being revisited is the tragic death of Shawna Beth Garber. The 22-year-old's remains were discovered in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. The circumstances of her death were hauntingly familiar: she had been raped, strangled, and restrained with different bindings. Her body, lying undiscovered for nearly two months, was not identified until as recently as 2021.    Rader's Reign of Terror:    Dennis Rader, while maintaining the facade of a city code inspector in Kansas, committed a series of gruesome murders, confessing to 10 killings in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. His sinister activities caught up with him in 2005, leading to his arrest. Later that year, Rader was handed 10 consecutive life sentences in prison.    Recent Developments:    In an atmosphere of palpable anticipation, Upton shared limited information about a search conducted near Rader's former property in Park City, Kansas. Described as “items of interest,” these findings will undergo meticulous examination to ascertain their connection to the cold cases. Collaborating with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Upton aims to shed light on the dark corners of Rader's past.    Phil Bostian, the police chief in the Wichita suburb of Park City, mentioned the involvement of public works in the investigation, hinting at the removal of cement and excavation activities.    Rader's Family Cooperates:    In a twist that adds depth to the narrative, Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, revealed her collaboration with investigators this summer. Rawson met with her father after years of no communication, suspecting that her father might have concealed items related to the unresolved cases on his property, notably under a metal shed he constructed. This shed, along with Rader's previous residence, has since been razed.    Rawson additionally directed investigators to the location where the family dog was buried. With a mix of hope and trepidation, she expressed her wish to find conclusive answers. "I'm still not 100% sure my dad did commit any more at this point," she remarked. However, in her words, if her father had indeed harmed others, "we need answers."    The Path Ahead:    The renewed interest in Rader's possible involvement in additional crimes highlights the never-ending quest for justice. With investigators leaving no stone unturned, and with cooperation from unexpected quarters, the hope is to finally close the chapter on cases that have haunted families for decades.    These developments remind us that even in the darkest of tales, the pursuit of truth remains relentless. As the story unfolds, communities affected by Rader's heinous acts look forward to a resolution and, perhaps, a sense of closure. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Hour 1 - Investigators from Oklahoma have found several items of interest after combing through property in Park City, once owned by Dennis Rader. Oklahoma officials say Rader is a prime suspect in the 1976 disappearance of Cynthia Kinney.
