For 3 decade Dennis Rader terrified the Kansas City region of Kansas preying on women, children, and any man that got in his way. Known mostly by his self-proclaimed acronym, BTK, Dennis Rader used the monicker "Bind Torture Kill, BTK" in his taunts to the police, newspapers, and local communities.
Dennis Rader's prolific spree of murder from the 70s to the 90s are nearly unrivaled. Perhaps the Devil incarnate, BTK terrified sleepy small towns near Kansas City while keeping up the guise of a leader in the community. He was a father, scout leader, and strong Christian, or that's how he wanted the world to see him.
Listen as the Ladies of Scarlet discuss the early life and crimes of Dennis Rader and his evolution into BTK. Listen to this week's Scarlet True Crime Podcast.
