BTK Killer
Wichita serial murderer
BTK Killer refers to Dennis Rader, an American serial killer who murdered ten people in Kansas between 1974 and 1991.
The name comes from his self-chosen acronym for "bind, torture, kill," describing his methods.
Rader taunted police and media with letters for decades before his capture in 2005.
The case is notable for the long gap between crimes and his eventual identification through a floppy disk he sent to police.
