The BTK Murders: Inside the "Bind Torture Kill" Case That Terrified America's Heartland - Softcover

A close-up look at the longest serial killing spree in Midwest history describes how Wichita was terrorized from 1974 to 1991 by an unknown assailant who proclaimed himself as "BTK"--"Bind, Torture, and Kill"--a case that was not resolved until 2005, when police arrested Dennis Rader, a family man and church leader, who has been charged with ten murders. Original.

HE KILLED PARENTS, CHILDREN,
From 1974 to 1991, someone in the midwestern city of Wichita was leaving behind slain tortured bodies and anonymously proclaiming himself to police and reporters as "BTK" for "Bind, Torture, Kill." Then, for the next 14 years, BTK was silent. But when he began sending letters again, investigators would not miss their chance...

EVEN PEOPLE IN HIS OWN NEIGHBORHOOD...
Stunningly, police arrested Dennis Rader, the president of his church board and the father of two. As a shocked community watched, evidence began to pile up. Then Rader coldly described how he went about "his projects" as the families of his victims relived the horrific scenes this supposed pillar of the community had unleashed on their loved ones.
NOW, THE FULL HORROR OF HIS CRIMES IS EXPOSED...
From the tricks he used to enter his victims' homes to the puzzles he sent the media and the key role his own daughter may have played in his arrest, this is the definitive story of the BTK killer. He was, as one victim's family member called him, "a black hole inside the shell of a human being"--and the worst American monster since Ted Bundy.
