A Kansas True Crime Investigation of Dennis Rader, the BTK Serial Murders, and Forensics

From 1974 to 1991 in Wichita, Kansas, Dennis Rader committed ten murders while operating under the self-assigned moniker "BTK" (Bind, Torture, Kill). Rader taunted local police and news media with detailed letters and puzzle clues before going dormant for over a decade.

Journalist Carlton Smith details the multi-decade investigation by the Wichita Police Department and FBI Behavioral Science Unit. The narrative covers Rader's sudden resurfacing in 2004, the forensic digital analysis of a computer floppy disk that identified him, and his arrest while serving as a Lutheran church council president and compliance officer.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Carlton Smith delivers a thorough, fact-based examination of one of America's most elusive serial killer cases. Rich in behavioral profiling and forensic digital tracking, this book is essential reading for fans of John Douglas, Robert Graysmith, and Roy Hazelwood.
