Dennis Lynn Rader (born March 9, 1945) is an American serial killer known as the “BTK Killer,” an acronym for “Bind, Torture, Kill,” describing his method of murder. Between 1974 and 1991, Rader murdered ten people in and around Wichita, Kansas. He led a seemingly ordinary life, working as a compliance officer and serving as president of his local church council.
Rader taunted police and media through letters detailing his crimes, maintaining contact with authorities for decades. After a long hiatus, he resumed communication in 2004, which eventually led to his capture in 2005 through forensic and digital evidence. Rader pleaded guilty to ten counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to ten consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. His case is frequently examined for its insight into organized serial offenders and the psychology of control and deception.
