Chapter 1: Who is Bailey Sarian and what is Murder, Mystery, and Makeup?
Hi, friends. How are you today? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. My name is Bailey Sarian, and today is Monday, which means it's murder, mystery, and makeup. Monday! theme song. If you're new here, hi, my name is Bailey Sarian and on Mondays I like to sit down and talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my noggin and I do my makeup at the same time.
Today's story has been heavily recommended. I've been avoiding it because this guy scares the crap out of me. Crap out of me. Yes, but I'm doing it for you. Today we are talking about the notorious BTK killer. I learned too much about this guy.
Chapter 2: Who was the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader?
And the reason like he grosses me out the most is because he's one of those killers that like just would find someone and be like, that's who I'm going to kill next. And like, that was it. You know, where a lot of the times when we talk here, it's kind of like people that the killer, like, knows or they're close with, where this guy was like, that person. I'm going to do that person.
And, like, it's scary, you know. Okay, so BTK killer. Between 1974 and 1991, Dennis Rader brutally murdered 10 people, including... two children, mostly by binding, torturing, and killing them, which gave him the name BTK. Bind, torture, kill. Yeah. Dennis Rader, he lived quite the, he lived a double life. Like on one hand, he was president of his local Lutheran church council.
Chapter 3: What was Dennis Rader's double life like?
He was like president of that. He was a Cub Scout leader. He had a wife and two kids. Yep. What else, Bailey? Well, he earned multiple degrees and like held a variety of different jobs. One of his jobs was actually installing ADT security systems. Yeah, he was installing security systems at the homes of people who were afraid of this BTK killer on the loose.
Literally, the killer is inside the house. So this guy, he had a very deep and complex dark side, which involved, you know, pretty like vivid fantasies of domination, bondage, torture, murdering women. And these fantasies turned to reality when in 1973, Dennis was let go from his job at, I think it's Cessna. It's an aviation company.
And I guess he had time on his hands and he was like, let's get down to business. With too much time on his hands, he fell deeper into his fantasies. In the following year, his killings began, which would continue all the way up to 1991. During his murder spree, he would sometimes leave clues in the form of like letters that he would like leave in library books.
Chapter 4: How did Dennis Rader commit his murders?
He once even sent a poem to the local paper mocking one of his victims. So like over 13 years, In 2004, Dennis hadn't been caught and the case had run cold. The local news had suggested that the killer must have been dead or was probably in prison. But Dennis didn't like this. You know, he didn't want to go unnoticed or forgotten.
So he started communicating with media and police to let them know that like, hey, I'm still here. He wrote letters, sent photos and evidence from crime scenes. And, you know, he would send, like some would include driver's licenses of his victims. He even left random cereal boxes containing dolls bound with rope inside the cereal boxes. You know what I'm saying?
Chapter 5: How was Dennis Rader finally caught?
And then finally though, his need for attention led cops to track him down, all thanks to a floppy disk and his daughter's pap smear. Oh, yes. So now let's like get into the nitty gritty of it all, shall we? So Dennis Lynn Rader was born on March 9th, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Kansas. But I guess he grew up in Wichita, Kansas. His middle name is Lynn. I was like, oh. Dennis Lin.
He was the oldest of four boys and his mom worked at the local grocery store as a bookkeeper. His dad, his name was William, he was in the Marine Corps and then later he worked at the Kansas Gas Service Gas Distribution Center. But both of Dennis's parents worked long hours and I guess, you know, because they're working all the time, they didn't pay much attention to their kids. They're working.
Chapter 6: What was Dennis Rader’s early life and psychological background?
Later in life, Dennis would say that growing up, he felt ignored by his mother specifically. And I guess he like really resented her for this. He attended Riverview Elementary School and Wichita Heights High School. I guess he wasn't like a really good student, you know? And it was said that he was more introverted and withdrawn, like his personality.
And while still in grade school, Dennis developed sadistic sexual fantasies that involved torturing, quote, trapped, and helpless women. Yeah, in grade school. Who the fuck? Forensic psychologist Dr. Tony Rourke, who evaluated Dennis after he was caught, believed that Dennis must have like had an early childhood experience that tied his sexuality to watching like a living creature suffer and die.
Uh... You think, maybe? Yeah, that's what they think. In this doctor's opinion, after whatever that first event was, he must have nurtured and encouraged those feelings in himself. I couldn't find anything like Dennis himself saying like what happened, but obviously I think it's safe to say he was introduced to something very young, right?
By the time Dennis hit puberty, his fantasies became like more elaborate and explicit. He was quoted as saying they were quote, almost like a picture show that he wanted to direct and produce. There was this actress on the Mouseketeers. Well, do you remember the Mickey Mouse Club on TV? If you don't, that's okay. It was an old show.
And there was this actress, her name was like Annette, but Dennis like would watch the show and he would see this Mouseketeer and would visualize, like she was the main character
person starring in his dark fantasies well when Dennis was young he participated in you know Boy Scouts and various activities through the Lutheran Church and as a Boy Scout unfortunately he learned how like how to tie different knots you know with rope which would like go on to be part of this process of torturing and murdering his victim. So that backfired.
Dennis went to college for about a year, but then he dropped out. I don't know. He was over it. And then he ended up serving in the US Air Force from 1966 to 1970. And I guess like during that time, he was a perv. He would peek through like window blinds to watch women undress. and would even sometimes break into like their homes when they weren't there and steal their underwear. Yeah.
After the Air Force, Dennis moved to Park City, which was like just outside of Wichita. And when he was there, he worked in the meat department of the IGA supermarket. And this is like where his mom had been working as the bookkeeper. Then in 1971, he married a woman named Paula. And they went on to have two children together, a daughter named Carrie and a son named Brian.
So like, as all of these stories usually go, it's like from the outside, it's like, oh, this, you know, all American family working at the local supermarket, raising their kids. Nobody thinks a damn thing. You know what I hate? Figuring out what to eat for dinner. Every week it's a struggle, every day. I know, look, if you leave it up to me, I'll just eat cereal, okay?

Chapter 7: What were the details of the Otero family murders?
He would strangle and hang animal victims. Ugh, this is like the worst of the worst. Dennis would later say that he was obsessed with pornography. Like in his free time, if he wasn't killing animals or peeking on the neighbors, he was looking at porn. And he even had like a special nickname for his penis. Yeah. He named him, his penis, Sparky. Sparky.
And whenever he would get aroused, he would call it Big Sparky Time. So there's that. There's that. Sparky. All right. You know. All right. There was debate over like how others saw him. Some described him as well-mannered, polite, and normal. And others said that he was obsessive and like extremely strict. So it was like You know, I don't know.
He was apparently known to like bully single women and he killed a neighbor's dog for no reason during his time as a dog catcher. Cause he was like a dog catcher for a little bit. I think it's safe to assume he just really liked control and power. In 1973, Dennis was working for that aviation company and then he got let go. And this event seemed to like give Dennis
a lot of free time it was said that this thrust him like deeper into his violent fantasy life with too much free time you know what they say the devil's got work for idle hands and boy He had some idle hands. Like, I guess he started to crave knowing what it would be like to act on his sadistic impulses. Like, I don't know, you guys. He must have hid this so well from his family.
I mean, I watched interviews and stuff and like the kids were like, yeah, he did hide it really well. But it's like, I don't know why. I don't know why. I'm not trying to like say I don't believe them or anything, you know? But like, if you're married to someone, how do you not see little glimpses of like, he's fucked up. Something ain't right, you know? I don't know.
It's just scary to think you can marry someone and they could be this fucking bimbo. So Dennis began to quote unquote troll women, which meant he was like casing neighborhoods and school campuses where he would find a prospect, stalk them, and then develop like an elaborate fantasy of sex, and murder around them. So Dennis had his thing.
I mean, you'll see as we get into all of the different murders that he did. He had his thing. He would routinely bind, torture, and strangle his victims. And most of them, majority of them were women. He had, I guess, like a crime kit. And in this kit, it was a gun. There were knives, hoods, cords, tape. plastic bags, gloves, and like various tools that he would use to break into people's houses.
And again, I mean, I think it's obvious, but he really put a lot of thought into this. When he would arrive at victims' houses, he would cut the phone lines and either just knock on their door or break into their homes. he would often like hold his victims up at gunpoint and just kind of, well, yeah, he would force them to obey.
He would often lie to the victims telling them that he was a quote unquote wanted man who was on the run. Sometimes he would leave evidence at the scene like semen, but at the time it was unclear like what kind of sexual acts were involved in his killings. And you know, there was no like DNA testing or anything like that yet. So the semen like,

Chapter 8: What were the details of the other victims and murders?
Dennis, he broke into the Otero, their home, but he was surprised because he saw that Mr. Otero and Joey were at the home, but the other three kids, they were at school. And like, normally they weren't gonna be there. You know, he had been following them. This was not their routine. So he was like, what the fuck are these people doing here? But it didn't matter.
He went ahead with the crime anyway. Dennis started off by telling the four Oteros that he was a quote, wanted man. and then led them into the bedroom at gunpoint, where he tied them all up with rope that he had prepared. Joseph and Joey were put on the floor while Julie and Josie were on the bed. Dennis restrained the wrists and the feet of the parents.
Joseph's head was covered with a plastic bag, which he bound with ropes. But Joseph, I guess, ended up chewing a hole through the bag. So he was kind of able to like, you know, get out of the fucking bag. So he's able to like chew a hole through it. And he's like gasping for air. And unfortunately like Dennis realizes this.
So he gets another bag and he puts it over his head, which caused Joseph to like slowly suffocate to death. Ugh, I know. Dennis tried strangling Julie. Okay, so he strangles her and then he thinks she's dead, but she's not dead. She wakes up and she's screaming, she's yelling, she's trying to get away. And then she starts begging with Dennis to please let her son, Joey, go, let him go, let him go.
Dennis, not there. just like he's not there, okay? Because he just proceeds to strangle her to death with a rope in front of the kids. Once both parents were dead, he used a plastic bag stuffed with two t-shirts to suffocate Joey. And he just, it was said like, he just watched him die slowly. Like, ugh.
Next, Dennis led Josie into the basement where he, I'm sorry, he hanged her with a noose from a pipe. I'm so sorry. I know. Ugh. The police, they found evidence of semen near Josie's partially clothed body. The bodies were ultimately discovered by the three older kids who had been at school during the time of the murders. So sad. No. I was gonna say, could you imagine? No. Couldn't imagine.
Coming home. Mm-mm. Well, only a few months after the Otero murders, on April 4th, 1974, Dennis broke into the home of 21-year-old Catherine Doreen Bright. So he, Dennis, had like entered through the porch screen door and then he was like hiding in her bedroom just waiting for her. So at 2 p.m., She had come home with her 19 year old brother. His name was Kevin. They came home.
Dennis was surprised. You know, he was like not expecting this brother to come, right? But he ends up surprising the two. Dennis like walks out. He has a gun in his hand and he's holding them at gunpoint. And then again, he's telling them that he's a wanted criminal.
and that he needed a car food and money because he was on his way to new york dennis then forced the guy kevin to restrain his sister catherine with the rope and then he moved catherine into the bedroom where he like proceeded to tie her down so while in the bedroom Catherine was like fighting back obviously.
