Episode Summary: Dennis Rader BTK Part 2

•   The Narrow Escape: Anna Williams' chilling "Oh Anna" encounter and the rage-fueled poem that revealed BTK's frustration when a victim slipped through his fingers.
•   Church Desecration: The horrifying murder of neighbor Marine Hedge, transported to Rader's own Christ Lutheran Church for a twisted ritual—avoiding the altar in a warped display of "boundaries."
•   The Telephone Repairman: Vicki Wegerle's brutal slaying, disguised as a routine service call, complete with Polaroid trophies and a frantic escape amid barking dogs and open windows.
•   The Final Victim: Dolores Davis' ritualistic end, complete with a postmortem mask, photographs, and keys tossed on the roof—a ceremonial close to BTK's killing spree.
•   The Eerie Silence: Inside the "Quiet Years" (1991-2003), where Rader cross-dressed as his victims, stalked neighbors, and maintained his facade as a compliance officer and church leader.
•   The Fatal Comeback: BTK's 2004 re-emergence with dolls, puzzles, packages, and the infamous floppy disk that traced back to his church—leading to surveillance, DNA, and his polite surrender.
•   Justice at Last: The courtroom confessions, rambling "apology," life sentences, family fallout, and ongoing cold case links that expose the monster behind the mundane mask.
