BTK Killer

The BTK Killer, whose real name is Dennis Rader, is an American criminal who committed a series of brutal murders between 1974 and 1991 in Kansas. He earned his nickname "BTK" from his own writings: "Bind, Torture, Kill." Rader was active for years before being caught in 2005 when he resumed communication with police and ultimately confessed to ten murders. His case gained significant media attention due to his calculated approach and later trials, highlighting issues of criminal psychology and the challenges of capturing serial offenders over extended periods.
