BTK: Confession of a Serial Killer

On the surface Dennis Rader seemed like a “regular guy,” but what lied beneath was a sinister fantasy life he enacted under the guise of his alter ego, BTK, while terrorizing Wichita, Kansas. Professor of forensic psychology, Dr. Katherine Ramsland, has been communicating with the serial killer for over 10 years and reveals the motivations behind his gruesome crime spree in this four-part A&E limited series.

The murderous crime spree of BTK continued as there were seemingly no signs from his upbringing that would indicate he would become a serial killer…or were there? Dr. Katherine Ramsland dives headfirst into exploring the childhood memories of the man behind the BTK moniker–Dennis Rader.

After 1978, while BTK seemed to disappear from Wichita, he was actually quietly stalking victims and killing with more sadistic violence than ever before.

Dr. Katherine Ramsland gets first-hand insight into the mind of the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader, and the fatal mistake that led to his capture.
