Description

Script Vidéo

Everyone thought he was a normal husband, father, and community member… until police uncovered his horrifying secret. In the 1980s, Dennis Rader appeared to live an ordinary life in Kansas. He had a wife, children, a steady job, and was even involved in his local community. Nobody suspected that behind this normal image was a murderer who had been terrifying the area for years. Starting in 1974, a series of killings shocked the city of Wichita. A family was found murdered inside their home, and investigators discovered that the killer had left behind a strange message. The murders continued, and the person responsible began sending letters to the media and police. He called himself BTK — short for “Bind, Torture, Kill.” For decades, police searched for him, but the case eventually went cold. Then, nearly 30 years later, the killer made a mistake. Rader began communicating with investigators again, believing he could remain anonymous. But police traced the messages back to him. The man they arrested was not a stranger hiding in the shadows. He was a husband, a father, and someone many people in his community knew and trusted. Dennis Rader was convicted of murdering 10 people. For years, the BTK killer lived a double life… and nobody around him knew who he truly was.
