Bind, Torture, Kill: Part 1 – Dennis Rader

In this chilling episode of Unlawful Acts, we dive into the twisted mind of Dennis Rader, the man who terrorized Kansas for decades under the name “BTK”—short for Bind, Torture, Kill. Rader lived a double life: devoted family man and church leader by day, cold-blooded serial killer by night. We’ll explore his early life, the brutal murders that earned him his infamous moniker, his taunting letters to police, and the shocking way he was finally caught after 30 years. This is the story of how one man’s cruelty hid in plain sight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
