Grab your glass and get cozy, let's talk about murder! 

In this episode we wrap up the case of serial killer Dennis Rader, also known as The BTK Killer. 

After six murders, Dennis Rader still had “Factor-X” burning inside of him. 

He went on to kill three more victims, but he couldn’t stop there. The thought of anyone else getting credit for his ‘work’ drove him to play cat and mouse games with the police in order to taunt them and to continue to instill fear in the community as the BTK Killer was still walking amongst them. Fortunately though, these games led authorities right back to the man responsible for ten brutal murders in one of the most iconic captures in true crime history. 

Join us as we discuss Dennis Rader’s final victims and eventual apprehension and conviction after three long decades of tormenting the citizens of Kansas.
