On a quiet evening in Wichita, Kansas, flashing police lights suddenly flood a residential street. When 28-year-old Andrew Finch steps onto his front porch to see what's happening, he's shot by police responding to a reported emergency. In the days that follow, investigators start uncovering a strange chain of events that stretches far beyond that neighborhood and raises troubling questions about how a single moment can spiral into tragedy.Get commercial free access to over a decade of Sword and Scale's true crime podcasts at http://swordandscale.com

Message from Terry Williams on June 14, 2026

This week on The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Maher flies solo while Bo Bonner continues his doctoral studies in England. His guest is Dr. Stephen Lawson, a longtime friend and newly appointed associate professor of theology at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas — a position so new he hasn't appeared on the university's website yet. Check back at newman.edu this fall to follow his work. The Stone-Campbell Movement Dr. Lawson grew up in Grayson, Kentucky, the son of two Bible college professors deeply rooted in the Stone-Campbell (restorationist) movement — a tradition that intentionally uses generic church names like "Church of Christ" or "Christian Church" to emphasize unity over denominationalism. He explains the movement's founding principle ("where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent"), its surprisingly robust understanding of baptism and weekly Eucharist, and how its Biblicist roots ironically pushed many of its most serious scholars toward deeper engagement with church history. The Academic Journey From Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, to Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and finally to Saint Louis University's PhD program in historical theology, Dr. Lawson describes how immersion in the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine, and patristic scholarship created a hunger the Stone-Campbell tradition couldn't fully satisfy. He reflects on a remarkable cohort of fellow Stone-Campbell scholars at SLU — including mutual friends Alex Giltner, Jordan Wood, and Alden Bass — many of whom have since entered the Catholic Church. Hauerwas, Peterson, and Newman Two thinkers proved pivotal: ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, whose radical ecclesiology pushed Lawson to ask serious questions about what the Church actually is, and Protestant-turned-Catholic theologian Erik Peterson (1890–1960), whose conversion story Lawson wrote his dissertation on. He was asked three times during his dissertation defense: Why aren't you Catholic? Landing the Airplane The decisive moment came when an institutional merger at Austin Graduate School of Theology — where Lawson was teaching — produced an administrator's claim that a theology degree was "basically the same thing" as a degree in marriage and family therapy. That reduction of Christianity to a subjective self-help tool made staying in a subjectivist tradition impossible. He and his wife Emily entered RCIA at St. Ignatius Martyr Church in Austin, Texas, and entered full communion with the Catholic Church. Their baptisms were recognized as valid; no rebaptism was needed. Teaching Theology Today After three years teaching at a Catholic high school in St. Louis, Dr. Lawson reflects on what really matters in the classroom. His approach shifted away from memorizing theological vocabulary toward helping students encounter Christ through texts — most notably, using Augustine's Confessions as a mirror for students to map their own spiritual geographies and key life moments. Pope Leo's Encyclical Dr. Lawson offers an early take on Magnificat Humanitas, Pope Leo's new encyclical on human dignity and artificial intelligence, describing it as a text with real, lasting impact — one that calls the Church back to the concrete, local, embodied person in an age of commodification and algorithmic control. He sees limited room for AI in theological education, where the goal is encounter, not output. Dr. Lawson's conversion essay is available through his Facebook page. Look for his published work in the Newman Studies Journal. Dr. Bud Maher teases a return visit to go deeper on the encyclical.

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?

On January 8, 2005, the Wichita Police Department received a typewritten question from the BTK Killer. Dennis Rader had left it inside an empty cereal box in the bed of a pickup truck at a Home Depot parking lot. He wanted the police to tell him, in writing, whether a floppy disk could be traced back to his computer. He asked them to be honest.They lied.In the fifth and final chapter of host Tony Brueski's Hidden Killers BTK investigation, the trap Lieutenant Ken Landwehr built over the eleven months of Rader's 2004 communications is walked through in detail. The thirteen-year silence Rader broke in March of 2004 when he could no longer stand being ignored. The eleven communications that followed. The Wegerle driver's license that freed Bill Wegerle by accident. The strategic decision by Landwehr to write back, politely, formally, through classified ads, instead of refusing to engage. The eleven months of feeding Dennis Rader's hunger for attention while quietly building a case.The episode covers the classified ad that ended the case: "Rex, it will be OK." The lie Rader believed. The purple Memorex floppy disk mailed to KSAS-TV on February 16, 2005. The Microsoft Word file titled Test A.RTF whose metadata named Christ Lutheran Church and a user account named Dennis. The phone call to Pastor Michael Clark. The DNA confirmation. The arrest. The confession. The sentencing speech where Dennis Rader read the names of his confirmed victims like a roll call he was finally getting to deliver. Judge Greg Waller's ten consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole for at least one hundred seventy-five years.This is the fifth and final uncomfortable truth of the series.

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?

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?

Saadia Khan sits down with Raj Goyle, whose parents came from India with a few dollars and a medical degree. His mom was the only female OB in Wichita shut out by the establishment, so she built her own referral network with Filipino and Vietnamese immigrant doctors. Raj took a different path: civil rights lawyer, ACLU after 9/11, state legislator, tech founder. Now he's in New York challenging a 20-year incumbent for State Comptroller. And he's got receipts: the current office is spending $1 billion in Wall Street fees that aren't growing your pension. It's proactively buying Palantir stock with your money. And there's a utility regulator in Albany cooking the books on your electric bill that nobody will touch. Oh, and his 83-year-old mother, naturalized for nearly 50 years, is scared she'll be deported. This is the race. Hit play.

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?

Today on The Protectors Podcast, we come to you from the 2025 IAFCI Conference in Oklahoma, where Mark sits down solo for a fast-moving conversation with members of the Wichita Task Force. These law enforcement officers specialize in retail theft investigations, but their focus goes far beyond small-time shoplifting - they're targeting organized, professional retail theft crews operating on a much larger scale. The task force shares how they work with retailers, track patterns, build cases, and coordinate strategies to identify and arrest the criminals behind these operations. It's a sharp, fun conversation with a team that clearly knows how to work together - and how to get results.The Protectors Podcast - Where Awareness Turns Into Action.________________________________IAFCI CONTACT INFO:IAFCI Website: https://iafci.org/Phone: 916-939-5000Advertising Opportunities and Guest Appearance: IAFCIProtectorspodcast@gmail.com

Today I'm joining in conversation with my friend James Bryan Smith to finally share something that's been in the works for over a year now. Jim is the author of The Good and Beautiful book series. A founding member of Richard J. Foster's spiritual renewal ministry, Renovaré, Smith is an ordained United Methodist Church minister and has served in various capacities in local churches. He earned his MDiv at Yale and his DMin at Fuller and is a theology professor at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas, where he also serves as the director of the Apprentice Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation. About a year ago he called me up with an idea for a way to serve writers. That's where our conversation today begins. Even if you aren't a writer, our conversation will, I hope, shed light on how ideas become reality, how sometimes a good idea takes a decade to grow, and the beauty of collaboration, patience, and moving at a human pace. I hope you'll listen in.

On this week's episode of The UnCommon Good, Dr. Bud Marr welcomes returning guest Dr. Matthew Umbarger from Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Umbarger shares his remarkable journey from the Restoration Movement and missionary work in Israel into the Catholic Church. Along the way, Bud and Matthew discuss biblical interpretation, the historical roots of Christian worship, the importance of reading Scripture in community, and how Catholic theology transformed their understanding of the Old Testament. The heart of the conversation centers on Dr. Umbarger's book: “A Table in the Presence of My Enemies: Banqueting and Battling in Ancient Israel.” Listeners will hear a fascinating exploration of Psalm 23, the Eucharist as preparation for spiritual battle, the Passover connection to Christian worship, and how ancient Israel understood sacrificial meals before battle. The episode also touches on: Catholic biblical literacy today The Church Fathers and Scripture Historical criticism and faith Spiritual warfare and the Mass The continuity between the Old and New Testaments Why the Eucharist matters for daily Christian life #TheUnCommonGood #IowaCatholicRadio #MatthewUmbarger #BudMarr #BoBonner #Psalm23 #CatholicPodcast #CatholicRadio #Eucharist #SpiritualWarfare #BibleStudy #OldTestament #CatholicTheology #NewmanUniversity #CatholicFaith #ScriptureStudy #ChurchFathers #ChristianPodcast #CatholicTeaching #CatholicCulture Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:Be Not Afraid with Fr.

Most of the financial decisions keeping you up at night are two-way doors. You can change them. You can undo them. The real one-way doors -- the decisions that actually lock you in -- are rarer than you think, and the problem is we're spending the same emotional energy on both. Joe, OG, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer take Simone Stolzoff's uncertainty framework from Wednesday and run it straight through real financial life: career changes, portfolio risk, entrepreneurial pivots, and the moment you finally flip the kill switch on something that isn't working.What You'll Walk Away WithThe one-way door versus two-way door framework applied to real decisions -- and why automating your savings contributions is the most underrated version of this ideaJesse's anchor: why life insurance changed everything about how he sleeps at night now that there are passengers in the car with himPaula's anchor: why avoiding debt entirely is the entrepreneurial version of keeping your burn rate survivable when revenue gets unpredictableOG's anchor: long-term belief in human ingenuity as a financial strategy -- and why short-term geopolitical noise is actually an opportunity for investors who aren't panickingWhy selling assets in a taxable brokerage account to cover business payroll is a two-way door -- until enough time passes and it quietly becomes a one-way doorThe kill criteria conversation: how Jesse built an 18-to-24-month runway into his career change before he ever made the leapWhy the Everest turnaround time is the most important financial planning concept most people have never applied to their own goalsOG's client story: when the right risk tolerance isn't the mathematically correct one -- it's the one that lets you sleep at night without calling your advisorPaula on the pivot strategy: keep iterating the broad direction until you find the product-market fit, because the version that works might look nothing like what you started withWhy a career shift becomes more of a one-way door the longer you wait -- and what Rocky Mark's electrical engineer to content creator question reveals about timingWhy This Matters NowThe worst financial decisions happen when people treat reversible choices as permanent ones and freeze -- or treat permanent choices as reversible and act too fast. This episode gives you a framework for telling the difference before the emotion hits, which is the only time it actually helps.From the BasementJoe, OG, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer take Simone Stolzoff's Wednesday framework and apply it to the messy real world of careers, portfolios, entrepreneurship, and retirement identity. The trivia competition takes a dramatic turn when OG margin calls Jesse on a Mount Everest question -- and the full margin call rule set gets read aloud for the first time in recorded history after Dottie in Wichita makes a call nobody wanted to receive. Jesse wins the point. OG loses one. The coalition closes the gap.Resources MentionedAfford Anything podcast -- Paula Pant; Joe joins most Tuesdays for listener Q&A; youtube.com/affordanythingPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors -- Jesse Cramer's podcast; current series: 14 biggest risks in retirement, Charlie Munger-inspired inversion frameworkStacking Benjamins Wednesday episode -- "Why Uncertainty Is an Opportunity" with Simone Stolzoff; stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201OG financial planning calendar -- stackingbenjamins.com/ogStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s the weekend of reminiscing! Morgan and Eddie recall their first meeting back in Wichita and how Morgan made it to Nashville. Then, some how they stumble upon Las Vegas stories which turns into a whole memory recall of their favorite (and least favorite) moments in the city. Then, they answer listener questions about their pets, Eddie’s boys playing travel ball, and his plans for BBQing over the holiday weekend. P.S. Part 1 and Part 3 of Best Bits is combined all into one now, so listener questions are right in here! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
