For over 30 years, Dennis Rader lived a chilling double life — devoted husband, church president, and one of America’s most methodical serial killers: BTK — Bind, Torture, Kill.

In this episode of Why Killers Kill, we uncover the psychology behind Dennis Rader’s narcissism, his self-created “Factor X,” and how his obsession with control and fame ultimately led to his capture.

Guided by Dr. Katherine Ramsland’s Confession of a Serial Killer, we explore the disturbing mental architecture of a man who built a world of fantasy, code words, and self-worship — until one fatal mistake exposed it all.

👇 Tell us in the comments: What do you think is the most chilling part of the BTK story — his crimes, his ego, or his normalcy?
