For thirty years, the people of Wichita, Kansas thought BTK was a phantom. Bind. Torture. Kill. Three words signed at the bottom of taunting letters mailed to police and newsrooms by a man who wanted to be feared more than he wanted to stop. The truly sickening part is who he turned out to be. A married father of two. The president of his church council. A Cub Scout leader. The local compliance officer who might show up to measure your grass for the city.

This week we walk through the crimes of Dennis Rader, the ten lives he stole between 1974 and 1991, the decade of silence, and the ordinary vanity that finally undid him. We are keeping this one exactly where it belongs, with Joseph, Julia, Josie, Joey, Kathryn, Shirley, Nancy, Marine, Vicki, and Dolores.
