Could the infamous BTK be embroiled in yet another gruesome chapter of his criminal history? This question has been thrust into the limelight once again as investigators delve into potential unsolved murders from 1976 tied to the notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, commonly known as BTK. The recent investigations, however, seem to be riddled with controversy and discord rather than conclusive answers.

 

 Sheriff Eddie Virden, the current head of the investigations and now a TV regular with his signature large hat, has been conspicuously public about the case. Tony Brueski, the host of "Hidden Killers" podcast, noted Virden's behavior as "a bit showy," recalling a particular TV appearance where Virden toyed with evidence in the form of pantyhose, which raised more than a few eyebrows.

 

 However, the intrigue doesn't end with Virden's theatrical inclinations. Discord between Virden and the District Attorney over the direction and viability of the investigation has been evident. Brueski remarked, "You have the DA in this case... and there is some political angle here as to maybe why he doesn't support Eddie." The question then arises: Is the DA's reluctance rooted in a lack of solid evidence, or is there more to the story?

 

 Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, offered her perspective during the podcast. She highlighted a crucial point, stating, "DA's are known for not moving ahead with charges unless they're really certain that it's a case that they can make well and ultimately win." If the evidence isn't watertight, the DA might naturally hesitate. This, juxtaposed against Virden's seemingly zealous approach, has resulted in evident friction.

 

 The potential consequences of such disagreements were pointed out by Scott: "So often human behavior, everything turns into a power struggle... rather than 'how can we collaborate? How can we solve a problem? How can we work together?'". If the primary goal is justice for the families of the victims, these disputes could prove to be an unfortunate distraction.

 

 Brueski also raised an interesting point, questioning if emotions and egos were overshadowing the real mission. "Is this another case where that's really playing priority? Egos are playing priority over the actual mission of getting truth and facts."

 

 A potential solution was proposed: offering Dennis Rader immunity in exchange for a confession. However, even this strategy seems to have been met with complications. Rader has not only declined the offer but has also made an eerie statement: "I don't want to take credit for someone else's." Such a remark, coming from BTK, adds layers of mystery to an already complex case.

 

 Scott aptly described Rader's perplexing demeanor by saying, "He could also be playing mind games... talk about an odd character. Something that no one will ever, I'm sure, truly understand unless you are someone who thinks like him."

 

 In the midst of controversies and a whirlwind of questions, the quest for justice remains paramount. While the BTK's crimes have been exhaustively examined and documented, this recent chapter reopens old wounds and introduces new challenges. The hope is that amidst the cloud of uncertainty, a clear path will emerge that leads to justice for the families that have been waiting since 1976.

 

 To what extent can the often incomprehensible motives of a serial killer and the complexities of power dynamics within the justice system impact the search for the truth? Only time, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to justice might provide an answer.

In the heart of Wichita, Kansas, a haunting shadow of the notorious BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, real name Dennis Rader, still lingers even after decades of his reign of terror. A recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, delves deep into a hot topic: a potential link between Rader and a 1976 murder in Oklahoma. But instead of solving cold cases, what surfaces is a surprising turn of events involving clashing personalities, lawsuits, and politics.

 

 During the discussion, Tony Brueski and guest Eric Faddis, a former Felony Prosecutor and attorney, analyze the current state of the investigation. Amidst the turmoil stands Sheriff Eddie Virden and District Attorney Mike Fisher, both holding conflicting opinions on the involvement of the BTK killer in the Oklahoma case.

 

 Fisher recently commented on the lack of substantial evidence to tie Rader to the case. Contrarily, Virden is steadfast in his belief. In his commitment, he's even set up a nationwide task force with reputable investigative forces.

 

 However, there's more to the story. Virden, known for his flamboyance and tendency to display evidence on television, is now suing DA Mike Fisher for libel. Fisher, a supporter of Virden's opponent in the upcoming elections, made what Virden calls "uninformed and ignorant comments" about his investigation into BTK. Virden's lawsuit, coupled with his constant quest for media attention, seems more like a personal vendetta than a quest for justice.

 

 Eric Faddis sheds light on the dynamics, saying, "When I was a prosecutor... this is a conversation that is part of a law enforcement coalition in investigating a murder. Here, we have it very public." The publicized discord is alarming. With a lawsuit between law enforcement entities, a different prosecutor's office might have to be brought in. This could set the case back to square one.

 

 The real question is: What does Virden gain by suing the district attorney? Faddis opines, "I think if there was something solid there, the district attorney would be all about it." All evidence points to old leads that don't solidify the connection to BTK. Yet, Virden's lawsuit, seemingly motivated by personal interests, could further hinder the investigation and prolong closure for the victim's families.

 

 Faddis adds, "If this sheriff would have come to me with this idea, that likely would have been my response. In terms of bringing a lawsuit... he kind of likes the attention. He likes the publicity."

 

 At the center of this turmoil, the forgotten voices are those of the victim's families. Eric Faddis, empathizing with their situation, highlights, "You have this atrocity that stole unfairly your loved one forever... and then, oh, it's completely screwed over by infighting amongst law enforcement entities." It's a gut-wrenching roller coaster for these families, with the very entities meant to bring them justice at loggerheads.

 

 The underlying truth remains: the investigation into the BTK killer's potential connection to the 1976 Oklahoma murder is being overshadowed by the political chess game. Yet, the public can only hope that amidst the chaos, the truth surfaces.

 

 As the case seesaws between truth and turmoil, one has to wonder: will justice be a casualty in the power dynamics of law enforcement?

Is a long-standing feud between two key figures in Osage County putting justice at risk? An episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers" brings to light an escalating dispute between Sheriff Eddie Virden and District Attorney Mike Fisher over an investigation into a potential murder linked to the notorious BTK killer in the 1970s.

 

 According to the transcript, the contention between the two officials has reached its boiling point with a lawsuit filed by Virden against Fisher. The root cause? Comments made by Fisher that the sheriff's investigation is more about gaining publicity and furthering political ambitions than serving justice. As quoted in the podcast, Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden alleges that Mike Fisher had even gone as far as contacting elderly families of the murder victims and discouraging them from cooperating.

 

 The podcast hosts, Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, provide an insightful discussion into this dispute. Brueski describes it as a "bizarre small town fight" while Dreeke sees it as a clash of two self-serving biases. Dreeke poses an essential question: "Who's his [Virden's] loving critic?" emphasizing the need for a voice of reason in such intense situations. The focus should be on the interests of the case and the families, rather than personal gains.

 

 Another twist in the tale is the upcoming political election, where Fisher is backing Virden's opponent. This adds another layer to the already complex narrative, as some suggest that the entire investigation could be a publicity stunt.

 

 Brueski and Dreeke also delve into the nationwide task force Virden has formed to investigate the potential BTK link. The group includes prominent names, some of which, like Nancy Grace, raise eyebrows and further fuel the publicity versus justice debate. Dreeke aptly remarks that while the intent behind creating the task force might be noble, its execution is questionable.

 

 Throughout their conversation, both hosts gravitate back to the true victims of this political and ego-driven saga: the families. As the dispute gets messier and more public, these families face further heartache, uncertain about the possibility of justice for their loved ones.

 

 Dreeke touches on a poignant point, emphasizing that while numerous investigators work diligently behind the scenes, delivering justice quietly, this public feud has overshadowed their tireless efforts. The potential secondary motives, perhaps even unbeknownst to the parties involved, raise serious concerns about the true intentions behind the investigation.

 

 In concluding the podcast episode, Dreeke laments, "There's a lot of phenomenal investigators out there doing the hard work every day... And the fact that we're hearing so much about this, it makes you question another motive that they might not even be aware of."

 

 The intriguing revelations from the "Hidden Killers" episode paint a vivid picture of the complexities and personal dynamics that can cloud criminal investigations. As egos battle and political ambitions intertwine with justice, one can't help but wonder: In the end, who really benefits? And, perhaps more importantly, who truly suffers?

"Can the resurgence in a cold murder case be overshadowed by the allure of reality TV fame?" This is the question on the lips of many after a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers" hosted by Tony Brueski.

 

 Brueski spoke to psychotherapist and author, Shavaun Scott, discussing the renewed vigor in investigating a possible link between the infamous BTK killer and the unsolved disappearance of Cynthia Dawn Kinney in 1976. As the narrative goes, BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) had penned a piece titled "Bad Wash Day" during his stint as an ADT installer across from the bank where Kinney was last seen. The seeming connection has ignited a spark in Osage County under-sheriff, Eddie Vierten, who has expressed enthusiasm in procuring evidence from Wichita to explore the potential link.

 

 “I applaud them for having this energy,” Brueski stated, referring to the efforts of the national task force, which includes BTK's own daughter. The aim is clear: to find answers and possible closure for a case that has long remained cold.

 

 However, the commendable zeal is slightly tainted by rumors of a reality show in the works. Sheriff Gary Upton is reportedly working on a reality TV project with the CW network, scheduled to tape later this year with a prospective air date in January. Brueski voiced his reservations, remarking, “I've never heard of television working quite the way that Gary is talking about.” The implications are slightly unnerving, especially when you consider the seriousness of the crime and the pain it has inflicted on many.

 

 Scott echoed Brueski's concerns, pointing out the potential ethical misstep of blending true crime with reality TV sensationalism. "It's not about somebody becoming famous," she emphasized, "It's really about wanting to solve this crime." A professional in her field, Scott acknowledged the ethical boundaries that all professionals should adhere to. The quest for fame, as it seems, could muddy the clear waters of justice and leave the real objectives in the backdrop.

 

 This isn't to dismiss the efforts of investigators who step into the limelight for the sake of justice. “I do admire people who are going to step out of their own comfort zone,” Brueski noted. But there's an unsettling theatricality in the way the case has been portrayed, which Brueski likened to a Netflix miniseries with creative liberties.

 

 Of course, there's always the human element. Cynthia Dawn Kinney's parents are still alive and yearning for answers. This reinvigorated investigation offers a glimmer of hope to them. Yet, if the allure of fame and attention overtakes the noble pursuit of justice, the consequences could be tragic.

 

 Brueski's advice to those involved, especially those on the task force: “Be careful on the optics on this and who's driving the ship.” Shavaun Scott concurred, stressing the importance of adhering to ethical guidelines and maintaining clarity on the main goal - solving the crime.

 

 The case's revival raises pertinent questions about the ethical implications of mixing crime-solving with entertainment. Are the boundaries between seeking justice and gaining fame becoming too blurred?

 

 So, as listeners grapple with the new information and opinions, we are left pondering: "Where should the line be drawn between crime-solving as a public duty and as a form of entertainment?"

In the depths of a Wichita evidence locker, numerous pieces of evidence have lain dormant for over a decade. And now, there's a renewed interest in whether they hold clues to other unsolved mysteries, potentially tied to the infamous BTK killer, Dennis Rader.

 

 During a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and criminal defense lawyer Lori Hellis delved deep into this perplexing and evolving issue. Brueski posed the question, "Are you at all surprised by the amount of evidence that has been sitting in an evidence locker in Wichita for 15 or so years since [Rader] was arrested and put away?"

 

 Hellis expressed her surprise that authorities weren't more proactive in processing the evidence. However, she speculated that law enforcement might have awaited concrete leads before venturing into the potential labyrinth of clues. "They want to be more focused and more aiming at something," she remarked. Hellis understands the delicate balance of being methodical without inadvertently depleting vital evidence.

 

 A central point of contention is Rader's writings about a "bad wash day." He described a fantasy involving a girl at a laundromat during a time when he was installing ADT security systems nearby. Alarmingly, a girl did go missing around that same period. However, Brueski points out the glaring issue: "All we have is that little bit of writing, which is really, truly not enough to convict somebody on."

 

 So, what would be required to build a conviction? Hellis pointed out a unique angle - the psychological aspect of Rader's actions. As Rader grows older, there's a sense that he might be reflecting on his legacy. Some suggest that taunting him with his old "trophies," or evidence from his crimes, might prompt him to correct the record if investigators get details wrong, thereby potentially revealing more information.

 

 A significant player in this strategic game is Kerry, who knows Rader well. Brueski recounted, "[Kerry] said, 'Oh, he's watching all this coverage. He's getting it up. He is really into it.'" Rader has historically played mind games with the police, leaving behind letters and challenging them to catch him. There's a shared belief that this old cat-and-mouse game might start anew.

 

 The question, then, is how far Rader would go with these games, considering his limited time. "Why not throw some clues out there before you're dead, Dennis?" Brueski speculated. He emphasized Rader's previous manipulation of the police and expressed intrigue about Rader's potential next moves. Hellis concurred, adding that Rader might believe he has the upper hand, but his incarceration limits his ability to manipulate his surroundings or the investigation's environment.

 

 In Conclusion: As the investigation deepens and the pressure mounts, could the once seemingly dormant evidence locker in Wichita unlock further dark secrets of Dennis Rader, the BTK killer? Or will Rader's mind games remain just that - a game, where the true extent of his malevolent actions die with him? Only time will tell.

Reality TV has penetrated almost every aspect of our daily lives – from culinary competitions to home renovations. But when it dovetails with the gritty world of law enforcement, especially in controversial investigations, how do we separate the genuine from the sensationalist? A recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast hosted by Tony Brueski, featuring insights from retired FBI Special Agent, Robin Dreeke, delved into this controversial territory.

 

 The Osage County sheriff's office has recently proposed a contract with a television production company to document the everyday workings of Sheriff Eddie Virden and undersheriff Gary Upton. What’s especially piquant about this proposal is the potential dive into connections with the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) serial killer, a case from the late 20th century that still sends shivers down the spine of many.

 

 Brueski initiates the debate questioning the optics of this venture. As he puts it, "The optics... I'm cringing." This sentiment emerges from the potential confluence of real-time investigations and reality TV's penchant for dramatization. Is there a genuine pursuit of justice, or is there a lurking specter of leveraging morbid curiosity for viewership? The waters are further muddied by the fact that the CW network is ready to premiere this series in January.

 

 Robin Dreeke, with his substantial background in the FBI and the behavioral team, offers a balanced perspective. On his notes, he scribbled three words that encapsulate the discussion: "ego seeps in." However, he recognizes that such a series can act as a significant recruitment tool for law enforcement agencies. The allure of 'sexy' high-profile investigations can be enticing for potential recruits. Still, Dreeke highlights the paramount importance of balancing ego with serving the community. He posits, "Everything's a dichotomy and a balance." For him, if the intent remains pure and there's robust oversight with checks and balances, the series can potentially benefit everyone involved.

 

 The BTK case, even though decades old, resonates profoundly within the community and beyond. Its reexamination can be seen as reopening old wounds, especially for the families directly affected by the killer's crimes. As Brueski mentions, "We're dealing with people's lives here... BTK's crimes took place 20, 30, 40 years ago." While the case intrigues many, the emotional cost to the affected families is immeasurable.

 

 However, beyond the case's gravity, there's another angle to this proposed reality series that cannot be ignored. Sheriff Eddie Virden is up for re-election, and the District Attorney, who has been explicitly skeptical of the BTK connections, is supporting Virden's opponent. The reality series, if portrayed in a favorable light, could potentially tilt the scales in the upcoming elections.

 

 The conversation loops back to the ethos of law enforcement. As Dreeke sums it up, "The behaviors of trust that people need to display in order to inspire trust are pretty simple... open, honest communication, transparency, and vulnerability." If law enforcement can suspend ego, uphold public trust, and communicate effectively, such a venture might actually strengthen their bond with the community.

 

 The episode leaves readers with much to ponder. As Brueski notes, "It would be good to see law enforcement in a good light." Indeed, positive portrayals of diligent officers are needed, especially in today's climate of skepticism. However, the stakes are incredibly high, and the balance between showcasing reality and slipping into sensationalism is precariously thin.

 

 So, can reality TV truly serve the cause of justice, or does it threaten to tarnish the sanctity of investigation? As cameras roll and investigations deepen, only time will tell.

What if one of the most notorious serial killers in U.S. history had more victims than previously thought? A new investigation has been launched into Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Killer. This inquiry is based on the potential of other murders linked to him. But amidst the serious undertones of such an investigation, questions of its legitimacy and intentions arise, especially when reality TV is thrown into the mix.

 

 On a recent episode of "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski delved into the latest developments surrounding BTK, with insights from guest and criminal defense lawyer, Lori Hellis. Over the past six months, there have been hints of this new line of investigation, especially with Kerry Rawson, Rader's daughter, making intriguing statements that suggest there might be more to the story.

 

 "We've been watching this quite closely," Brueski commented. "I'm all for finding more in the B. T. K. Saga. If there, in fact, are more, I very much admire Kerry for putting herself out there and the dedication she has... to try and find justice for these individuals." The drive to uncover the truth, however, isn't the only factor coming into play.

 

 As Brueski pointed out, the evidence thus far consists of a piece titled "bad wash day." This, combined with rumors of a reality TV show revolving around the case, has sparked concerns about the genuine intentions behind the investigation. Such a television venture, according to Brueski, might be more inclined to sensationalize events rather than seeking justice. "The reason to do this is to find justice and bring some closure to those families, not necessarily do a television show," he emphasized.

 

 Hellis agreed, "I think that the timing probably isn't great. I mean, I could see how the authorities that are investigating might see this as an opportunity to get the BTK case back out in front of people again." She recognized the potential benefits, such as public assistance in identifying evidence or piecing together timelines, but cautioned against crossing the line between awareness and entertainment.

 

 Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, had his crime spree stretch over 30 years, and while he's been imprisoned for a considerable time, Hellis points out the eerie notion many have had. "I think everyone's always felt like there were more victims out there. He just wasn't giving them up." Many serial killers have been known to release information bit by bit, relishing in the attention. This tactic, coupled with a potential reality show, muddies the waters of the investigation's true aim.

 

 Additionally, concerns were raised about some of the figures involved in the case's media portrayal. Brueski specifically noted an incident where Eddie Virden, associated with the investigation, handled evidence improperly on a talk show. This kind of behavior is worrisome, given the gravity of the case and the potential implications of any new revelations.

 

 Both Brueski and Hellis concluded that while seeking justice and uncovering the truth is paramount, the dangers of sensationalism and media circus should not be ignored. In the quest for ratings or recognition, the real stories and the genuine pain of families affected might be overshadowed.

 

 So, as the case takes another turn and more details emerge, one has to wonder: Are we on the brink of uncovering new, chilling details about one of America's most infamous killers, or is this just another spectacle for the screen?
