Ramsland said that Rader simultaneously views himself as a 'monster' and a 'good person who did some bad things'

Exclusive conversations between Ramsland and Rader were aired on the A&E docuseries 'BTK: Confession of a Serial Killer,' which aired on January 8

I made the mistake of looking at that photo today. That is the stuff of your worst nightmares come true. Horrifying & grotesque.

This guy is one of the few serial killers who sent chills down my spine. There is no good reason he’s still alive.

"I made the mistake of looking at that photo today"

Richard Speck dressed up like that. Cross-dressing and trans are a sign of a deeply disturbed mind.

I read his daughter’s book “A Serial Killer’s Daughter”. All the killings were carried out during her childhood. Interesting read. Actually I think they got her DNA from college medical exam to compare and that helped catch him.

I caught 2 episodes last night. Isn't current America great?? /s Here we have a sadistic, sick freak that now has a platform to describe his depravity. An entire series has been filmed around this sick f*ck.

The question that kept pounding in my head was 'why is this sick f*ck still breathing?'

He’s like Ivory soap: 99 and 44/100% pure.

It makes a difference what the 56/100% is though.

He worked for local government and took great pleasure in punishing people for small infractions.

I’ll one-up you on the “evil” reference. Gary Leon Ridgway. Read up on him, let what he did stew for awhile.

“In May 1991, Rader became a dogcatcher and compliance officer in Park City.[20][25][26][27] In this position, neighbors recalled him as being sometimes overzealous and extremely strict, as well as taking special pleasure in bullying and harassing single women.[28] One neighbor complained that Rader killed her dog for no reason.[29]”

The guy had a many varied career [psycho] path.

Not so certain on the DNA; his need for publicity is what got him. He called one of the detectives on the case while he was still on the outside and asked him if floppy disks could be traced. Of course he detective said no. He then proceeded to mail a floppy disk with some info on it, source analysis traced the disk to the church he was working at, voila - captured BTK.

Sounds like “Once saved, always saved” while murdering people in between asking for forgiveness. That “theology” can be percieved as screwed up, lol, hmmmm....

Also upheld by such ancients as Augustine and, of course, is Biblical. It's hardly a fringe Christian belief. But to be "saved" is to be regenerated, which means you don't go around binding, torturing and killing innocent people.

You are correct, he created the disk on his church computer and they got church name and “Dennis” there. Then they subpoenaed the daughter’s college medical samples. Her DNA direct matched victim semen etc.
