Murder In America

After killing Marine Hedge in 1985 and Vicki Wegerle in 1986, Dennis Rader vanished into suburban normalcy for almost twenty years—leading Cub Scouts, serving as church president, and installing home alarms for terrified neighbors. While the task force chased ghosts, he privately curated scrapbooks and fantasized about new victims. In 2004, stung by a newspaper article implying BTK had died or lost his nerve, Rader resurfaced with letters, crime-scene photos, and a floppy disk he believed was untraceable. Digital metadata and his own daughter’s DNA ended the longest cat-and-mouse game in Kansas history, exposing the monster who had hidden in plain sight all along.

EP. 227- SERIAL KILLER: BTK (Bind Torture Kill) | Pt. 3: In Plain Sight

For 31 years, the city of Wichita lived in terror of a ghost. Between 1974 and 1991, Dennis Rader – the mild-mannered family man, church leader, and compliance officer – murdered ten people in a series of meticulously planned home invasions that still haunt the American true-crime landscape. He didn’t just kill. He staged elaborate, sadistic “projects”: cutting phone lines, waiting patiently in closets, binding entire families with cords pulled from venetian blinds, torturing them for hours, and strangling them one by one while the others watched in helpless horror.

This is the story of how a monster hid in plain sight for three decades.

EP. 226- SERIAL KILLER: BTK (Bind Torture Kill) | Pt. 2: The Murders

In this chilling episode, we go back to the beginning. This is the origin story of one of America’s most infamous serial killers – the story of how Dennis Rader spent decades carefully constructing the perfect mask… This is the making of BTK.

EP. 223 - COLORADO: The Killer Dentist

In 1974, six members of the DeFeo family were found murdered in their home in Amityville, New York. And the scene of the crime was troubling... in fact, curiously, it appeared as if none of the family members had awoken while the others were being murdered. And when a suspect was finally arrested, and he began speaking to investigators about the voices in his head that told him to kill, things just kept getting stranger and stranger. This is one of the most infamous true crime stories in American history, and the case that inspired the film series "The Amityville Horror". You're listening to MURDER IN AMERICA!-
