The Serial Killer Nobody Suspected | The BTK Killer Documentary

For thirty years, Dennis Rader lived an ordinary life in Wichita, Kansas. Church congregation president. Cub Scout leader. Compliance officer. Devoted father of two. He was also BTK — Bind, Torture, Kill. Responsible for 10 murders spanning nearly two decades. And nobody who loved him had any idea. Not his wife. Not his son. Not his daughter Kerri — who drove to high school in a car her father gave her. The same car he had used to transport the body of his last known victim. She found out the way everyone else did. An FBI agent knocked on her door in 2005 while she was pregnant with her first child. In 2023, investigators asked Kerri to visit her father in prison to help solve cold cases. She came out shaking. This is not a story about a serial killer. It's a story about what he cost the people who loved him.
