Dennis Lynn Rader (born March 9, 1945) is an American serial killer, who murdered at least ten people in Sedgwick County (in and around Wichita), Kansas, United States, between 1974 and 1991. He was known as the BTK killer (or strangler), which stands for Bind, Torture, and Kill, which was his modus operandi. Letters were written soon after the killings to police and to local news outlets, boasting of the crimes and knowledge of details. After a long hiatus, these letters resumed in 2004.

Arrest and conviction

On Friday, February 25, 2005, Rader, a city inspector, Cub Scout leader, and Lutheran church-council president, was detained near his home in Park City, Kansas, and accused of the BTK killings. At a press conference the next morning, Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams flatly asserted, "the bottom line is that BTK has been arrested." Rader pled guilty to his crimes on June 27, 2005, giving a graphic, almost surreal account of his crimes in court. Using personal jargon such as "hit kit" for his killing equipment, Rader casually described his crimes as his "projects", and at one point likened his murdering of his victims to killing animals by saying he "put them down". He was sentenced to serve 10 consecutive life sentences, without possibility of parole for 175 years, on August 18, 2005. This includes nine life sentences each without the possibility for parole for 15 years, and one life sentence without the possibility for parole for 40 years.

Modus Operandi and victims

The name BTK chosen by Rader for himself also dictated his methods. Rader bound, tortured, and killed his victims. He created what he called a "hit kit," a briefcase or bowling bag containing the items he would use during murders - guns, tape, rope and handcuffs. He also packed what he called "hit clothes," clothes that he would wear for the kidnapping and murder, then dispose of.

Rader's victims include four members of one family (Joseph Otero, his wife Julie Otero, and two of their five children: Joseph Otero II and Josephine Otero); Kathryn Bright, Shirley Vian, Nancy Fox, and Vicki Wegerle. Two later murders, Marine Hedge and Delores Davis, were only recently affirmatively linked to the series. Police officials say Rader murdered at least ten people between 1974 and 1991 and may be responsible for others as well.

Letters

Rader was particularly known for sending taunting letters to police and newspapers, often including biographical details and complex puzzles that suggested he was giving clues. He claimed to have been born in 1939 and to have grown up living near railroads. He also claimed that his father was killed in World War II, and that he was raised by his mother thereafter. Most of this appears now to have been deliberate misdirection. These letters stopped long before the 1991 murder, leading to speculation that BTK was incarcerated or dead. 1939 was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Rader made headlines again in March 2004 when The Wichita Eagle newspaper received a letter from someone using the pseudonym Bill Thomas Killman. The writer claimed that he murdered Vicki Wegerle on September 16, 1986, and enclosed photographs of the crime scene and a photocopy of her driver's license, which had been stolen at the time of the crime. In December 2004, Wichita police received another package purportedly from the BTK killer. This time, the package was found discarded in Wichita's Murdock Park. It reportedly contains the driver's license of Nancy Fox, which was noted as stolen at the scene of crime, and other items which remain undisclosed to the public. 2004 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December Deaths • 08 Abu Abbas • 20 Queen Juliana • 28 Peter Ustinov • 30 Alistair Cooke More March 2004 deaths Ongoing events EU Enlargement Exploration of Mars: Rovers Haiti Rebellion Israeli-Palestinian conflict Occupation of Iraq Same-sex marriage in...

Most believe that the serial killer chose to resurface in 2004 as it was the thirtieth anniversary of his first killings in 1974. The inclusion of more accurate details in his new letters as well as at least one puzzle which appears to include his full name suggests to some that Rader was ready to be caught.

Arrest

Rader's mugshot, taken during booking at the Sedgwick County Jail at around 8 p.m. on February 27, 2005.

The BTK killer's last known communication with the media and police was a padded envelope which arrived at FOX affiliate KSAS-TV in Wichita on February 16, 2005. A purple, 1.44-MB Memorex floppy disk was enclosed in the package, and police reportedly traced it to Rader after FBI analysis of deleted data on the disk. Also enclosed were a letter, a photocopy of the cover of a 1989 novel about a serial killer (Rules of Prey ISBN 0425195198) and a gold-colored necklace with a large medallion.

Sometime during this period, police obtained a warrant for the medical records of Rader's daughter, Kerri. A tissue sample seized at this time was tested for DNA and provided a familial match with semen at an earlier BTK crime scene. This, along with other evidence gathered prior to and during the surveillance, gave police probable cause for an arrest.

Rader was stopped while driving near his home and taken into custody shortly after noon on February 25, 2005. Immediately, law enforcement officials—including a Wichita Police bomb unit truck, two SWAT trucks, and FBI and ATF agents—converged on Rader's residence near the intersection of I-135 and 61st Street North. Rader's home and vehicle were searched, and evidence—including computer equipment, a pair of black pantyhose retrieved from a shed, and a cylindrical container—was collected. The church he attended, his office at City Hall and the main branch of the Park City library were also searched that day.

Legal proceedings

Kansas reinstated the death penalty in 1994. The last known BTK killing was in 1991, making all known BTK murders ineligible for the death penalty. Even if later murders are linked to the BTK killer, it was originally unclear whether the death penalty would come into play, as the Kansas Supreme Court declared the state's capital punishment law unconstitutional on December 17, 2004. The Sunday after his arrest, Associated Press reports cited an anonymous source that Rader had confessed to other killings in addition to the ones with which he was already connected. Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston called these reports "patently false." [3] On March 5, news sources claimed to have verified by multiple sources that Rader had confessed to the ten murders he is charged with, but no additional ones.

Some possible facts regarding the case

Physical and circumstantial facts that would have corroborated Rader as the BTK killer:

• DNA analysis of BTK's semen and material taken from underneath the fingernails of victim Vicki Wegerle match the DNA profile of Dennis Rader.
• Rader's grammar and writing style matches letters and poems received from BTK.
• Rader was reportedly seen circulating (in his son's vehicle) frequently in the Home Depot parking lot near a BTK package drop site in early 2005.
• ADT Security was located a few blocks from a payphone that the killer used to report a murder in 1977.
• Rader had attended Wichita State University in the 1970s. The BTK killer used a photocopier on campus to copy one of his letters. A survivor of the attack on Bright reported that the killer had asked him if he had seen him at the university. A poem in one of the killer's letters was similar to a folk song taught by a professor on that campus in that time period.
• Rader lived on the same street as Marine Hedge, just houses away. The BTK killer's other victims were in and around central Wichita.
• The Coleman Company was located a few blocks from a payphone that the killer used to report a murder, and two of the victims (Julie Otero and Kathryn Bright) worked at Coleman during the same period that Rader worked there. Rader worked at Coleman only a short time and not at the same location as the victims.
• Semen found on or near the bodies of his victims appears to be the critical evidence linking Rader to the crimes. Rader also sent trophies to police in his letters, and others may have been discovered in his home. Other cold cases in Kansas were reopened [9] to see if Rader's DNA matched crime scenes, but Rader's confession was limited to the ten known victims.
• Rader had a below average IQ, claimed at 72.
• Rader and Joseph Otero, one of the first victims, both worked as Air Force mechanics, but no connection has been made between the two.

Critics believe that Rader might have been identified years earlier had more of these links been followed and analyzed.

Notoriety and Profit

On July 22, 2005, a controversy erupted on CNN's Nancy Grace over a poem that Dennis Rader had written that was passed on to someone who then sold it on an auction site that specializes in serial killer memorabilia. The poem was entitled "Black Friday", an ode to the day he was arrested. The poem expressed a point that Dennis Rader was not happy about being caught, with one of the verses proclaiming "The dark side of me has been exposed."
