About this episode
Yes, this is a long episode but this loser has a lot of layers to peel back. In Part 1, we talk about Dennis Rader's childhood, his marriage and his first foray into the world of Bind, Torture, Kill. It's a bumpy and weird ride, guys. Dennis Rader is a strange and frustrating case.
There is description of two children who were murdered in this episode. We announce it and give ample time to skip if this is something you are not comfortable listening to!
