Dennis Lynn Rader, “BTK” killer

Dennis was known as the “BTK” killer. Where BTK stands for “binds, torture, kill”. When he was young he would kill cats and hang them or just hang then alive. Apart from this he lived a very normal life. Dennis would kill his victims and find their pain as an sexual turn on for him. He used to send proofs and recordings to police of his murders. He wrote about his murders in a library book. He later send a disk (hard disk) of every proof that was needed to arrest him. He would write poems for his victims and send them to newspaper companies. It seemed like the needed attention. He killed a family and put a tapped box near a stop sign which had photographs and all the information of how Otero family was killed. He disappeared all of the sudden and came back to scene later in 2004 when he gave 11 interviews to local which lead to his arrest in 2005. He had a lot of sexual fetishes which made him a psychopath. He had sadistic sexual fantasies towards women who were helpless, he had the intense urge to kill small animals and hang them (zoosadiasm). He had severe liking for voyeurism (seeing other people involved in sexual activities and having arousal), autoerotic asphyxiation(it is a disorder where persons stops the supply to their own brain to turn themselves on sexually). He was given 10 life sentences which he is still serving in Kansas prison.
