On this week’s episode of Hot On The Case, we’re diving into the chilling story of Dennis Rader, the man who called himself BTK. For over three decades, he tormented Wichita, Kansas, taunting investigators with cryptic letters and playing a sinister game of cat and mouse with the police. His ability to disappear between murders left authorities and the public on edge, wondering when and where he would strike again.
What made Rader even more terrifying was his double life. To neighbors, he was a respected church leader, a devoted husband, and an attentive father. But beneath that mask of normalcy hid a sadistic serial killer who derived pleasure from inflicting pain.
Join me as we unravel how BTK managed to evade capture for so long, and how his carefully crafted facade eventually unraveled to reveal the monster behind the mask.
