Listener discretion is advised. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.920 I graduated in May nineteen seventy nine, and it was 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.600 easy to slip back into the Christian world. The kids 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.000 were growing like weeds and ahead of the household was needed. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.360 Paula needed to be home, so all responsibility landed on me. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.280 I had no time to be away from home. Being 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.000 busy with the family kept the dark side at bay. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.520 The next year, we got a pet dog, Patches, a 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.039 Britney Spaniel. I built a fence in the backyard and 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.200 I did a lot of gardening and enjoyed life with 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.080 my wife and two kids. The job with ADT gave 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.200 me opportunities to be out of town, staying in motel rooms, 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.000 so I would take the bondage items with me or 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.039 shop for new ones at the town where I was 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.920 doing a job. A second time, when Paula came home. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.440 I was in full bondage in the hallway in a 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.000 slit with a rope. I tried to hide it in 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.280 the bathroom, but there was just too much of it 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:44.280 out to hide. She exploded into a fury. I cleaned 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.760 the mess up and told her I would leave. I 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.840 was so embarrassed and ashamed. I slept a day or 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.560 two in the living room. She was thinking about what 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.600 to do. We didn't talk, only small talk in front 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.760 of the kids. She finally told me that if she 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.680 ever caught me again, she would file for divorce and 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.240 I would have to leave the house for good. I understood. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.799 I vowed I would never do this at home again. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.480 Someone killed four members of a family. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.600 Had you vanished from her home suddenly last weekend? Her 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.960 phone lines had been cut, her door left open. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.520 You see the victim playing there with flashing bags over 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.679 their heads, strangled. You could tell it was a plan scenario. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.440 Well, police have said no more about the contents of 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:34.880 the letter. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.000 It does contain some sort of threat and implies the 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.560 killer may strike again. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.320 He's going to play with these victims. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.639 He'd get him to the point of death and then 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.360 bring them back and then brings them back to the 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.120 point of death. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:55.239 From My Heart podcasts and Tenderfoot TV. I'm Susan Peters 0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:05.960 and this is Monster BTK. In nineteen seventy nine, sixty 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.160 three year old Anna Williams just barely escaped to becoming 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.320 btk's eighth victim. He had broken into her home and 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.240 waited for her, leaving in a huff when she didn't 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.560 arrive home at her normal time. Soon after, he sent 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.480 a nineteen line poem titled oh Anna, why didn't you 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:35.600 appear to both Williams and to Cake TV. Police wondered 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.320 why BTK had targeted Williams. She was, after all, older 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.800 than most of his other victims. They wondered if her 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.680 twenty four year old granddaughter had been his intended target. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.040 Williams didn't stick around to find out. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.200 Well, Annie, she left Wichita, she moved, and again the 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.040 community still on high alert. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.680 If you will This is former Wichita Police Chief Richard Lemonnion. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.160 He says that after the Williams attempt, the BTK trail 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:17.000 went dark. In May of nineteen seventy nine, Raider graduated 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:22.320 from Wichita State with a bachelor's degree in Administration of Justice. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.159 This resulted in the loss of his cover story for 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.880 being out late in the evenings, another reason. He put 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:35.120 the monster to rest, but he started practicing bondage more often. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.640 Eventually he was caught by his wife, which you heard 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.560 at the top of the episode. This incident was deeply 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.800 embarrassing to Raider. He assured Paula he would change, but 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.960 in reality, the only thing he changed was the location 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.279 of his self gratification. Here are his words from the 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.440 book Confession of a Serial Killer. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.440 These incidents were perfect times to seek professional help. I know, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.320 but I don't recall if Paula asked me to do 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.000 anything like this. Maybe she did, and I told her 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.680 I would work it out. But I thought if I 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.600 told someone about the other things I was doing in 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.039 order to really get help, they would be obligated to 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:19.799 tell the police. 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.760 Nineteen eighty four marked ten years since the Otero killings, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.640 and btk's five year absence hadn't put Leamonnion's feares to 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.040 bed like it had for other Witchitans. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.839 There was a sense of that was in our history. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.120 It doesn't exist anymore, at least to the community. To me, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:41.520 it was very real. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.440 So with special permission from city manager Jene Denton and 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.120 Al kirk A County Commissioner. Lamnion planned the most sophisticated 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:57.760 investigation in city history. The technological advancements of the nineteen 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.280 eighties re energized the investigation gation. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.799 In eighty four, we put together a special task force. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.640 I handpicked a group of investigators to be a part 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.719 of that. I had senior detectives, I had new detectives. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.880 I had patrol officers that were assigned, and that was 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.240 the only thing they were working on. The media found 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.440 out about it. We didn't tell them what was going on, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:26.280 but they dubbed it ghostbusters. The idea was of this 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.280 group was number one to identify and arrest the guy. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:35.920 Number two was to put together all the information we had, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.200 computerize it as best we could, put all the files 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.440 in place. If he was dead, we knew that we 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.640 would find the trophies sometime or if he was still alive, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.599 at some point he's going to come back. So we're 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.240 going to either catch the person or we're going to 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.440 put it together in such a way that when the 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.920 next thing happens, whoever the investigator is can just pick 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.479 it up and move forward. That was our plan. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.000 Promising young detectives like Kenny land Where were brought in 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.040 to give this case. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.920 There all we weren't done, We hadn't put everything together, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.000 and I thought to myself, this is the type of 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.600 thing we need to do, get behind closed doors. We've 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.000 got computers, now, we've got DNA, we've got semen, we've 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.520 got everything else. And as a result of that, it 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.080 took several months, but it proved at least in our 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.560 mind that we knew the person we're looking for is local. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.480 The reason we can't find him is he's one of us. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.000 He goes to the same grocery store that we go to, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.160 he goes to the same movies. He probably has a family, 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.400 he works here, and the reason we can't find him 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.440 is one of the people that lives in this door. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.520 The BTK task Force was made up of eight men, 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:07.240 Captain Gary Fulton, Lieutenant Al Stewart, and Officers Paul Dotson, 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:13.040 ed Nass, Mark Richardson, Jerry Harper, and Paul Holmes, along 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:18.080 with land Where. Throughout nineteen eighty four, the Ghostbusters would 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.560 search high and low for clues about the identity of BTK. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.800 For the first month of their work with the task force. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.280 They did nothing but read reports. They spent hundreds of 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:34.840 man hours re examining an index of previously eliminated suspects 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:39.640 put together by older detectives. They also spent weeks debating 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.240 whether or not to add the Catherine Bright files to 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:48.000 the BTK evidence. Yes, they eventually decided. In October of 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.040 nineteen eighty four, they brought in FBI criminal profilers. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.920 We call the Wichita police. Come on in here, guys, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.480 and bring a tape recorders. We won't be able to 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.320 have time at the written profile, but we'll work with 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.720 you for day or two whatever takes to help you 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:05.560 people out. 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.960 This is John Douglas, former FBI special agent. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.880 And then we did this kind of a mind bust, 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.240 me and three other profiles with the cops there going 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.959 around and evaluating, the analyzing the case things that they 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.959 should be doing. And I came up with the idea, 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.560 when you have an offender who starts to communicate, rather 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.040 communicate with a department, I want him to communicate with 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:36.120 a person affiliated with the investigation, and I want that 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.440 guy to be the focal point I called a super coop. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:47.440 In time, Kenny Landware would become that focal point. The 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.480 initial FBI profile, delivered in part by criminal profile or 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:56.720 Roy Hazelwood, provided cops with their first detailed impressions of BTK. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.760 Here is an excerpt from the book bind Tour Kill. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.560 Hazelwood thought BTK practiced bondage in everyday life, that he 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.199 was a sexual sadist, a control freak, and could interact 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.120 with others only on a superficial level. You know him, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.400 but you don't really know him. The profiler felt that 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.440 although BTK would do well at work, he wouldn't like 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.560 anyone telling him what to do. Hazelwood also thought BTK 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.000 collected bondage materials and read crime books and detective magazines. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.600 From then on, every time BTK Task Force member Paul 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.959 Holmes entered someone's home, he looked around for detective magazines. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.839 When Raider's daughter Carrie made it to kindergarten, he decided 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.360 he was ready to kill again, but he was older. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.720 Now he had more responsibilities and less time to prowl. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.040 This time, he would pick a target closer to home again. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.760 A snippet from Confession of a serial Killer. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.559 Raider had noticed a neighbor, Marine Hedge, a fifty three 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.280 year old woman who lived just down the street and 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.480 often gave a friendly wave. She lived alone and was 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.920 just the right size. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.000 I thought about what her neck would look like with 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.520 a rope around it. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.600 It was time, Raider thought to re energize his secret identity. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.400 It had been a long time since the last time 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.679 Factor X exploded in my world and shattered someone else's. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.600 Targeting someone so close to home went against his code 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.680 for how to be a successful serial killer, but the 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.800 challenge excited him. 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.000 Breaking my own rules sort of gave me a rush. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.480 I lived on the knife edge for a long time 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:59.920 with this, Following newspaper, TV or neighbor talk. By reading 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.480 other cases, I knew this was a high gamble. To me, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.240 hedge took a lot of thinking and planning. This was 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.480 the first time I had decided to use the Boy 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.720 Scouts as my cover. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:18.720 The target day arrived April twenty sixth, nineteen eighty five, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.640 Raider went to the Boy Scout camp, where he typically 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.400 helped set up He had become a leader when his 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.040 son Brian joined. He parked his car on the hill 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.319 by the roadside so that he could leave and come 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.960 back unnoticed. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:40.160 In the end of April nineteen eighty five, I'm almost seven. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.960 My dad was. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.640 On a cub Scout camp out with my brother Brian 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.400 at Camp Tewakany. My dad feigns that he's like ill 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.000 or has a headache. He says he's going to his ted, 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.400 knowing my daddy probably even stuffed something in his sleeping bag. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.000 This is Dennis Raider's daughter Carrie. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.600 Raw and he then using the cub Scout camp out 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.120 for an alibi, he goes to a bowling alley, goes 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.120 and slashes some beer in his mouth and make it 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.599 seem like he was drinking. He leaves our family chavette 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.480 at the bowling alley and he takes a taxi out 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.800 to my neighbor. He gets out of the taxi and 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.880 he has a bowling bag with him that's maroon and white. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.000 That's like his hit kit. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.880 And he walks past my grandparents house and he goes 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.680 through Missus Hedges' backyard. Missus hedges house is built exactly 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.800 like my house and exactly like my grandparents' house, three 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.520 bedroom ranch. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.680 This meant he'd have no trouble figuring out the best 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.080 way to get into the home. He cut her phone line, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.600 broke into the home, and then yet another one of 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.160 his plans hit a snag. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.680 He broke into her house, expecting her to be home 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.000 because her car was there, but she had gone with 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.560 this man. She's not, so he's disappointed and mad, so 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.800 he hides in her closet. Then they come home, and 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.520 now she's come home with a man. While he doesn't 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.400 want to have to deal with two people. It's messy, 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.959 and he's not there for the man. He's there for her. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.480 So he's getting frustrated and he's hanging on in the 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.600 closet and he's like waiting forever for the man to leave. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.560 He probably could have murdered both of them, he just 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.880 didn't want to because he's older at this point too. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.440 It's eighty five, so he's wet. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.040 He's forty at that point, and he hadn't murdered anybody 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.000 in my eight years. So he waits for her to 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.560 fall asleep, and he jumps into bed and starts strangling her. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:41.040 He manually suffocated Marine until she died. In his words, 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.320 he throttled her. What happened next is a departure from 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:52.840 btk's usual mo In a disturbing turn of events, Rayder 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.840 decided taking photos of Marine's body in her house wasn't enough. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.680 He wanted to do something special. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.720 Since I was in the sexual fantasy, I went ahead 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.960 and stripped her and tied her up. I put handcuffs on. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.640 I put her on a blanket, and I went through 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.160 her purse. I needed the car key and took some 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.720 personal items in the house while I figured out how 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.840 I was going to get her out of there. Eventually, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.160 I moved her to the trunk of the car. I 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.840 took the car over to christ Lutheran Church, where I 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.960 had stashed some items. I tied her up in different 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.480 positions and took pictures. I did not use the altar. 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.720 I was bad and disturbed, but I still had respect 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.880 for some items of God's house. Finally I had a 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.200 real bondage picture with a victim. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.360 Daylight was coming fast. He had to hide Marine's body 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.240 and make it back to the boy scout camp before 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.840 anyone noticed he was gone. He left her body in 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.040 a ditch on fifty third Street. Police wouldn't find her 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.000 until over a week later. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.320 The body was discovered here at fifty third Street North, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.880 just east of Webb Road, a bit west of the 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.920 area that police had been searching all weekend for some 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.400 clue to the disappearance of fifty three year old Marine Hedge. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.040 Hedge vanished from her home suddenly last weekend. Her phone 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.000 lines had been cut, her door left open, and police 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.720 have been picking up the pieces ever since. But Park 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.240 City Police Chief Ace van Way may have put the 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.920 final piece of the puzzle together when he and a 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.120 partner noticed what appeared to be a blouse hanging from 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.000 a tree limb and searched this area. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.680 Marine Hedge's murder was not connected to BTK at the time. 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.360 It had taken place outside of Wichita, and despite the 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.960 cut phone lines, didn't fit the usual BTKM. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.640 Keep in mind, this is a county case, different investigators, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.800 different crime unit. However, we work very closely with him, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.320 and even after discussion the fact that her body was 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.520 thrown out, if you will, at an intersection fifty third 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.080 and Web, we just did not see a connection with 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.000 it whatsoever. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.960 The body was nude and police say badly decomposed. A 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.600 pair of knotted pantyhose were found lying in the ditch 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.960 beside it, and the evergreen branches covering the body may 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.800 match pine needles found in the trunk of Marine Hatches 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.800 car but police say that's about all the evidence they 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:32.399 have to go on. 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.840 Raider's big risk had panned out. No one suspected BTK 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.600 all eyes were on Marine's date as the prime suspect. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.160 Psychologist Catherine Ramsland says Raider had to play it safe 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:47.800 after this. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.159 He enjoyed that kind of cat and mouse game to 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.879 a point. When he killed a woman in his own neighborhood, 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.160 he'd not make any communication at all because, first of all, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.320 that violated his own rules don't kill close to home, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.600 and second, he didn't want to bring the police, you know, 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.320 give them any sense that this is related to the 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:14.520 other murders, So that stopped his communications. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.400 Breaking his no killing close to home rule also had 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:25.320 ripple effects that impacted his family's sense of safety. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.399 Somehow. I know that missus Hedge she's been strangled. A 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.760 week or so later, I am running around at Christ 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.360 Lutheran after a church and I fall and I break 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.919 my arm. So I have a bone sticking out of 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:42.160 my arm. I'm bleeding and I'm screaming. Now I've had 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.600 this like pretty major injury for a kid. My dad 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.600 gets a cookie tray from the church kitchen and a 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.960 towel to secure my arm, and he puts me in 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.960 the back of our station wagon instead of calling an ambulance. 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.960 My mom's back there with me. He drives me a 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.479 few miles south of late I have to have surgery, 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.160 three pins put in my arm, and I'm in the. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.520 Hospital for five days. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.640 So my six year old self cemitted missus Hedge's murder 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.560 with my broken arm, and it was just like big 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.440 trauma ball and so literally I started having night terrors, 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.040 and the best we know, my night terrors started around 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:22.800 the time missus Hedge was murdered. 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:28.160 Talking with Payne Lindsey in the Tenderfoot Studio, Carrie says 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.880 she thought her fear emboldened her father. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:34.320 As a six year old. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.720 Did you know that this was related to Henny's death? No, 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.359 I mean, there's no way I realized I had combined 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.840 like the trauma over my arm and the hospital and 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.879 Missus Hedge. He's quoted as saying, like, at that time, 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.280 when I started getting scared like that, that it worried 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.399 him that I was messed up basically from the murder 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.200 he had committed down the street. But it also empowered him. 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.040 It may feel empowered like he was terrifying me. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.840 So your dad was aware that you, like, even if 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.760 you weren't, your dad was aware that you were being 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.400 affected by hedges death. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.879 Yeah. He's quoted in twenty sixteen as saying he was 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.120 sure it was from there. I mean, I've talked to criminologists, 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.920 I've talked to detectives, talked to trauma therapists. Nobody knows 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.080 how to fix this night terra stuff, and nobody knows. 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.360 Why is it the bad guy in the room trying 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.040 and kill me? Do you feel like the bad guy 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:30.639 is your dad? 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:31.159 Oh? 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:41.920 Yeah. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.080 In June of nineteen eighty five, nearly seventeen hundred miles 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:50.040 away from Wichita in San Francisco, California, a man named 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.560 Leonard Lake was connected to more than two dozen deaths 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:54.880 and disappearances. 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.480 This tape, what you're hearing now is going to be 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.320 the lead end building, which hopefully will be the first 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:08.520 of a series of underground buildings. The main emphasis of 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:13.760 the building will be a cell. The purpose of that 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:17.760 cell and the main purpose hens of the building will 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.280 be the imprisonment. 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.880 For the young lady, a remote cabin where cops say 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.080 some of the most gruesome serial killings in California, history 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:28.560 took place twelve. 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:29.639 It was in big Dums. 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.440 Three women, seven men, two babies. 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.200 Raider was fascinated. He saw a lot of parallels between 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.119 himself and Lake. Here are his words from Confession of 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:43.080 a serial Killer. 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.879 I had clippings about him and his partner in my 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.720 Heidi Hole folders, but killing babies was off my list. 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.000 After the oteros and by random chance with Vianne, I 0:21:55.200 --> 0:22:00.000 decided that no young children would be involved in my hits. 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:03.960 It wouldn't be long before Rader betrayed this newly formed rule. 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:06.520 I can't imagine any woman. 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:09.600 Harming her, not knowing her. 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:12.720 She was a good person to know. 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:15.720 And a good friend to have had. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.680 Vicky Wiggery was a young mother who lived at twenty 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.920 four oh four West thirteenth Street with her husband Bill 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:29.840 and children Brandon and Stephanie. Dennis Rader spotted her in 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.840 the fall of nineteen eighty six. As he spied on 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.040 her home, he would listen as she played the piano. 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:44.880 He thought she played beautifully and named her Project Piano. Ironically, 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.879 her neighbor was the head of the BTK Task Force, 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.440 Kenny landwere Vicky stayed at home with two year old 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.280 Brandon during the day, while Bill was off at work, 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.760 Rader decided this would be the best time to strike. 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.400 He planned to pass himself off as a Southwestern Bell 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:09.520 repairman to gain access to her home. Here is another 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.800 excerpt from the book The Inside Story of BTK. 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.040 Raider had modified a business card to look like a 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.800 phone company identification card. He had a yellow hard hat 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.440 provided by ADT. He had cut out a segment of 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:28.240 the cover of a Southwestern Bell repair manual and pasted 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.120 it on the hard hat, hoping to pass himself off 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:35.560 as a telephone repairman. The briefcase he would carry looked official, 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:37.800 but would contain his hit kit supplies. 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.639 It was the morning of September sixteenth, nineteen eighty six. 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:49.080 Rader parked the security company van in the Indian Hills 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:54.040 Shopping Center parking lot, donned his costume and crossed the 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:59.120 street towards Vicki's house, but first to strengthen his cover, 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.560 he went the home of her elderly neighbors, who led 0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:04.520 him in to check their phone lines. 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.399 When he left the older couple's house, he walked to 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:12.280 the blond woman's door. He heard the piano. When he 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:13.800 knocked the music stopped. 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.480 Vicky opened the door, and Rader led with the same 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.840 line he had used on the neighbors. She was weary 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.919 and asked whether it was really necessary for him to 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.720 come in. Wasn't the phone line in the backyard, Vicky asked. 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:36.320 Eventually she relented after pretending to test her telephone. He 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.440 dropped the act and told Vicki to go to the bedroom. 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.800 She cried out, what about my kid, she asked. My 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:48.520 husband is going to be home soon, she said. Rader 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:49.600 hoped not. 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.359 He made her lie down on the waterbed. As she 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.840 cried and tried to argue, He tied her wrists and 0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:00.879 ankles with leather shoelaces. Vicki began to pray out loud. 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:05.080 Suddenly she ched her hands, broke her bonds, and began 0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:09.760
