Subscribe to Our Life: https://bit.ly/3dBMxvl Serial killers are the dark stars of modern culture, but is it nature or nurture that creates a serial killer? Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world. Dennis Lynn Rader, the eldest of four brothers, became notoriously known to fellow Wichita, Kansas, residents as the BTK Killer (Bind, Torture, Kill). With ten victims spanning from 15 January 1974 to 19 January 1991, he escaped notice by an aura of normalcy that none saw past, not even his wife. Over time, he taunted police and media with letters and scavenger hunt "gifts" left about the city. Finally, his own over-confidence tripped him up, whereby authorities were further creeped out over his matter-of-fact descriptions of his crimes.

For three decades, the terrifying serial killer who called himself BTK ("Bind, Torture, Kill") was uncaught. First, he would cut the phone lines, and then he would get into the house somehow, waiting for his victim to come home. The killings drove Wichita's women into a frenzy, but then the murders inexplicably stopped. Police theorized that BTK could have died or have been incarcerated for some other crime or mental disease, or maybe even moved away. Then in March 2004, BTK sent a very convincing letter to the local newspaper, taking responsibility for the September 1986, unsolved death of Vicki Wegerle. Included with the letter were a photocopy of Wegerle's driver's license and three photos of her body that BTK took after he killed her. In May, BTK sent a copy of the chapter titles of David Lohr's Crime Library story on the case to a local TV station. Lohr's feature story was the only BTK case history on the Net at that time. However, BTK had changed several of the chapter titles, including one that he changed to "Will There Be More?" And so, it began again, with BTK impatiently pointing out to police the murders of his that they missed. Finally, BTK made the mistake that culminated in his capture. Here is the most detailed story of this case as it unfolded in 1974 and then again in 2004.
