Killer of the Week: BTK Pt. 1

Before he was known as the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader was a quiet Midwestern boy with a dark imagination. Behind his polite smile and churchgoing charm, Dennis harbored fantasies of control, torture, and death. For today's first episode of Killer of the Week, Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels uncover how Rader’s early experience, from childhood humiliation to secret obsessions, shaped one of the most chilling serial killers in American history. A disturbing look into how a seemingly ordinary man became a master of deception and murder.
