Τρεις δεκαετίες, ο τρόμος στο Wichita του Kansas ήταν τρία γράμματα: «BTK». Ήταν η υπογραφή του δολοφόνου, που σήμαινε (Δένω-Βασανίζω-Σκοτώνω). Το επέλεξε ο ίδιος ο δολοφόνος, ώστε να γνωρίζουν όλοι τι έκανε σε εκείνους που είχε σκοτώσει και τι να περιμένουν, αν ερχόταν η σειρά τους.Μεταξύ 1974 και 1991 ο «BTK» σκότωσε 10 ανθρώπους: έναν άνδρα, επτά γυναίκες και δύο παιδιά. Δεν ήταν επιλεκτικός στην επιλογή των θυμάτων του και δεν είχε έναν συγκεκριμένο τύπο. Χρειάστηκε να περάσουν 14 χρόνια από την τελευταία δολοφονία του για να αποκαλυφθεί η ταυτότητά του. Στις 26 Φεβρουαρίου 2005, η αστυνομία ανακοίνωσε ότι είχε συλλάβει τον «BTK». Τον Dennis Lynn Rader.Στις 15 Ιανουαρίου 1974 ο Charlie Otero που ήταν 15 ετών επέστρεψε στο σπίτι από το σχολείο και βρήκε τα πτώματα της μητέρας, του πατέρα και δύο αδελφών του, της 11χρονης Josephine και του 9χρονου Joseph. Ο 38χρονος πατέρας του και ο αδελφός του είχαν πεθάνει από ασφυξία (είχαν πλαστικές σακούλες περασμένες και δεμένες στο κεφάλι). Η 34χρονη μητέρα του είχε στραγγαλιστεί με ένα σχοινί και η αδερφή του είχε στραγγαλιστεί και στη συνέχεια ο δολοφόνος την είχε κρεμάσει στο υπόγειο.Τέσσερις μήνες μετά, η 21χρονη Kathryn Bright και ο 19χρονος αδελφός της Kevin δέχτηκαν επίθεση, όταν επέστρεψαν στο σπίτι τους στις 4 Απριλίου 1974. Ο εισβολέας ανάγκασε τον αδελφό της Bright να τη δέσει στο μπροστινό υπνοδωμάτιο και μετά τον περιόρισε σε άλλο δωμάτιο. Αφού έψαξε το σπίτι, ο εισβολέας προσπάθησε να στραγγαλίσει τον Kevin, εκείνος αντιστάθηκε, αλλά ο εισβολέας τον πυροβόλησε δυο φορές. Ο Kevin προσποιήθηκε ότι ήταν νεκρός και όταν ο εισβολέας βγήκε από το δωμάτιο, δραπέτευσε. Κατάφερε να βγει στον δρόμο και να ζητήσει βοήθεια. Τον μετέφεραν στο νοσοκομείο. Εκεί έμαθε ότι η αδελφή του είχε δολοφονηθεί. Η Kathryn Bright βρέθηκε μισόγυμνη, μαχαιρωμένη  στην κοιλιά και στραγγαλισμένη. Όταν τη μετέφεραν στο νοσοκομείο, ήταν πλέον αργά.ΣυντελεστέςΈρευνα - Κείμενο: Μιμή ΦιλιππίδηΑφήγηση, Sound Design, Ηχοληψία: Δάφνη Γερογιάννη

POP A BOTTLE BECAUSE THE BTK SERIES IS FINALLY OVER! Taylar's not joking when she tells you that you may not get another crime case out of her for two weeks, babes. Also BEFORE ANYONE LOSES IT, we mispronounced Hedonistic (it's not Head-on-ist-ic, it is HE-don-istic- my bad so sorry we knew something didn't sound right). Today Taylar breaks down a deep dive into the behavioral science and forensic/criminal psychology behind BTK or Dennis Lynn Rader, wrapping up the three part series of BTK.  Morgan had an allergic reaction to something during our recordings and two benadryl knocked a witch out, aka you'll get her case on 130 because there are just not enough hours in the day, sadly. If you're watching on Youtube this weekend- shut your mouth.  Next two weeks of C&C are filled with absolute season 1 energy, maybe some big news, drinks, and chaotic-iconic-ness.

My special guest is Katherine Ramsland, here to discuss details of the book she co-wrote with serial killer Dennis Rader about his murderous life. In 1974, Dennis Lynn Rader stalked and murdered a family of four in Wichita, Kansas. Since adolescence, he had read about serial killers and imagined becoming one. Soon after killing the family, he murdered a young woman and then another, until he had ten victims. He named himself “B.T.K.” (bind, torture, kill) and wrote notes that terrorized the city. He remained on the loose for thirty years. No one who knew him guessed his dark secret. He nearly got away with his crimes, but in 2004, he began to play risky games with the police. He made a mistake. When he was arrested, Rader's family, friends, and coworkers were shocked to discover that B.T.K. had been among them, going to work, raising his children, and acting normal. This case stands out both for the brutal treatment of victims and for the ordinary public face that Rader, a church council president, had shown to the outside world. Through jailhouse visits, telephone calls, and written correspondence, Katherine Ramsland 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. In this book, Katherine Ramsland presents an intelligent, original, and rare glimpse into the making of a serial killer and the potential darkness that lives next door.

When something terrible happens, something that is so evil, it transcends the limits of human understanding, we begin to look for an explanation. For example, when a mass murderer takes 50 innocent lives in a ruthless killing spree, we look at that person and think, what caused them to commit such a gruesome act. Was there a mental illness behind everything, or perhaps in their past happened something so terrible, it eventually made them a killer? Or were they just born evil? Many serial killers have been able to successfully hide out in plain sight for even extremely long periods of time. Those who successfully blend in are typically employed, have families and homes and outwardly appear non-threatening, average members of society. They look just like everyone else. So what drives them to take a human life? This time we take a look at Dennis Lynn Rader, or as he is known, BTK killer's life and past and see if there were any signs typical for future serial killers or if his childhood and life before his crimes were just as ordinary as anybody else's.

Since adolescence, he had read about serial killers and imagined becoming one. Soon after killing the family, he murdered a young woman and then another, until he had ten victims. He named himself “B.T.K.” (bind, torture, kill) and wrote notes that terrorized the city. He remained on the loose for thirty years. No one who knew him guessed his dark secret. He nearly got away with his crimes, but in 2004, he began to play risky games with the police. He made a mistake. When he was arrested, Rader’s family, friends, and coworkers were shocked to discover that B.T.K. had been among them, going to work, raising his children, and acting normal. This case stands out both for the brutal treatment of victims and for the ordinary public face that Rader, a church council president, had shown to the outside world. Through jailhouse visits, telephone calls, and written correspondence, Katherine Ramsland 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.

This week, Brandi scares the pants off us with the story of serial killer Dennis Rader, a.k.a., the BTK killer. Over the course of several decades, Rader killed ten people and terrorized his community in Wichita, Kansas. Then, like a true douchebag he gave himself a nickname. He dubbed himself, BTK, which stood for Bind, Torture, Kill. He loved to taunt the police and the media… and that eventually bit him right on the ass. Then, did you know that in 1911, someone stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre? Neither did we.  Kristin lightens the mood with this incredible story about the thief who kept the Mona Lisa hidden in his apartment for nearly two years. French police searched high and low for him. At one point, Pablo Picasso was the prime suspect. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary, “The Missing Piece: Mona Lisa, Her Thief, the True Story” The documentary, “Mona Lisa Robbery – Who Stole Da Vinci’s Painting?” “When Picasso Went on Trial for Stealing the Mona Lisa,” Artsy.net “The Theft That Made The ‘Mona Lisa’ A Masterpiece,” NPR.org In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Dennis Lynn Rader” murderpedia.org “BTK Victims Speak Out In Hearing” CNN Transcripts “The Floppy Did Me In” by Rebecca J Rosen, The Atlantic
