EP. 227- SERIAL KILLER: BTK (Bind Torture Kill) Pt. 3: In Plain Sight

After killing Marine Hedge in 1985 and Vicki Wegerle in 1986, Dennis Rader vanished into suburban normalcy for almost twenty years—leading Cub Scouts, serving as church president, and installing home alarms for terrified neighbors. While the task force chased ghosts, he privately curated scrapbooks and fantasized about new victims. In 2004, stung by a newspaper article implying BTK had died or lost his nerve, Rader resurfaced with letters, crime-scene photos, and a floppy disk he believed was untraceable. Digital metadata and his own daughter’s DNA ended the longest cat-and-mouse game in Kansas history, exposing the monster who had hidden in plain sight all along. - Sources: Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - -Apple Podcasts - -Amazon/Audible - -Pandora - -iHeart - -PocketCast - -CastBox - - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: TikTok: and Feeling spooky?
