BTK serial killer Dennis Rader, who is currently serving prison time for the murders of 10 people, is now being investigated for his alleged involvement in at least two unsolved murders and missing persons cases - but his daughter says there appear to be many more.

“Brace. This is just beginning,” Kerri Rawson wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, as details of her father’s reign of terror continued to emerge. “We will get answers for these families.”




quote:

Now, nearly a decade after his incarceration, Rader’s twisted appetite for hoarding “trophies” from his victims has led authorities to name him as the number one suspect in the 1976 disappearance of 16-year-old cheerleader Cynthia Dawn Kinney in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The case is referred to by Rader in his journals as “PJ Bad Wash Day.”

He has also been named as the “prime suspect” in the 1990 murder of Shawna Beth Garber, a 22-year-old woman in McDonald County, Missouri.


quote:

In addition to the Kinney case and the Garber case, there is another missing woman from Hays, Kansas, in 1983, referred to as “PJ Prairie” in Rader’s journals, and an unsolved murder in Kansas referred to as ‘Project Bell.” A unsolved violent crime in Oklahoma, known as ‘Oklahoma case #2,’ is also being looked at.

PARK CITY, Kan. (KWCH) - Oklahoma authorities were in Park City on Tuesday digging into what ties Dennis Rader, aka BTK, may have had to murders and missing persons in Osage County.

“I can confirm we are following leads of missing persons and murders possibly related to BTK (Dennis Rader). I still have investigators in the field following up on those leads so that’s all I can say right now,” confirmed Osage County Undersheriff Gary Upton.

The Park City police chief said Osage County called his department as a courtesy. He confirmed investigators have been at Rader’s old property (now owned by the city), and they were digging. He could not say what was being investigated, but he said the investigation would likely wrap up on Tuesday.

According to this true crime channel with a former detective, the authorities found a ‘nylon stocking ligature’ and a ‘time capsule’ at the former home.

The home was searched and demolished and the city now owns the property. Apparently they dug up a concrete sidewalk/walkway to find these items.

How has the entire yard not been excavated at this point?

He is a bad bad mother fricker.

I truly wish Mind Hunter could have finished the story on Netflix. The story of serial killers and them developing criminology on them while one of the most notorious ones ever (who didn’t fit most of their profiling) was hunting daily. Great show

Why are investigators now searching for more bodies after all these years?

Met this physco a-hole when working for DOC in Kansas, he is at El Dorado Correctional Facility and he is truly an evil person, no remorse, yet he is polite to the officers who work there but when you see him in person you can't help but shutter at the mere thought of all the women he killed ...

It may be obvious and I'm an idiot for not getting it, but what does the "PJ" mean in his writings?

If you want a feel good story, don’t read up on what he did to the Otero family. How can a monster do that and keep living?

Stands for ‘project’ which is how he referred to the potential victims he stalked.

Because police investigators are under heavy pressure to close cases. Even in decades old cold files. They'll use all forms of deception and trickery to make their arrests. BTK is a perfect suspect to pin the murder on, even if he had nothing to do with it. If I was Dennis Rader I would tell the cops to eat my balls.

Easy to clear cold cases by pinning them on a guy who is already in for life.

I would gladly volunteer to administer the most extreme allowable justice to this POS. He's going to experience what pain really is when he meets his father the devil sometime soon.

Investigators did that with the confession killer-Henry Lee Lucas. That dude confessed to over 600 murders and was rewarded with fast food and police car rides. What a clown!

That cop that kept parading Lucas around was loving the publicity. Didn't they find that Lucas only killed 2 people?

I was really looking forward to mindhunter season 2. The first season was building up to BTK. Also the guy needs to be euthanized.
