What happened first? You were home from school? About what time in the morning was it?

Matt Jim Claudora Mom.

See this is Steve Ralford who says one day, when he was just a little boy, his mom sent him to the store because she was sick.

Excuse me, dealing driven street, get him kind of shoop, you know.

On the way back, got on the sidewalks Toppee shows me photograph.

Dennis Raider showed you a photograph.

Yes, ma'am, asked me, Did I know who it was? I said you no, say I herd look at it again, Take it, look at it again. Get back to him, you know. About fifteen minutes later, came knocking.

On our door.

Me and my brother writes to the door and opened it.

When Steve answered the door, Dennis Raider was standing.

There are your parent, comes my mama.

She shick in bed and proceeded to come on in. He forced his way through, turned off TV, and at that time, my mama keeps out, what the hell's going on here? Reaches under his arm, got the gun. Tell those kids to sit on the couch.

He put some toys and blanket made my mom put the toys and blankets and busting and tied the one door shut, puts us in there, shut us bed against the other door.

Steve and his siblings were trapped in the bathroom helpless.

There was a cracking the door. While I look out, I heard my mom pleading. When I looked out, she can't beating them fucking her mom's hands. She broke a fucking bottle in her hands and shit patched it back over her head, roped out around her neck, hog tied with tape. My brother he broke fucking windows out in the bathroom. However, for help, I think I scared him off. I broke through the fucking bathroom door.

My mom was try down town the road. I couldn't.

Steve ran outside and tried to find help. He went to the neighbor's house.

I go aside go to my neighbors that big, big window, clean glass door, poun on it, broke it and come the door calling on a couple of mom's dead. I tried to given call him down. Hain't got time calling down.

The neighbor called the police and went next door.

He went down and kicked seem what I was talking about. I'm dead?

Their mom surely was dead.

Someone killed four members of a family.

Had you vanished from her home last weekend? Her phone lines had been cut, her door left open.

You see the victim play in there with plastic bags over their heads, strangled. You could tell it was a planned scenario.

Well, police have said no more about the contents of the letter. It does contain some sort of threat and implies the killer may strike again.

He's gonna play with these victims.

He'd get him to the point of death and then bring them back and then brings them back to the point of death.

From My Heart Podcasts and Tenderfoot TV. I'm Susan Peters and this is Monster BTK. The murder of Shirley Vyanne Ralford was one of the most unusual and tragic murders committed by BTK, and that's because She wasn't even the intended target. Vyanne was never supposed to interact with BTK that terrible day in nineteen seventy seven. It was just another unfortunate consequence of Dennis Raider's lunacy and poor planning.

I'm in trouble at it in the corner.

This is Steve Ralford, son of Shirley Vyanne. You heard him tell the harrowing story of witnessing his mother's murder at the top of the episode. He said his mom was strict, but that all of her children adored her.

A gospel singer, Church mekays take share off for bag Giftea.

When I talked to you years ago, you told me about a song your mama used to sing to you before you went.

To bed, shout and teach, Loune Schatt and build cwn.

Yep.

Didn't she sing a song too about tears on the pillow? Or do you remember that song?

Yeah? I probably sing it to you, but I'm not going to.

Go ahead so we can hear the word will you want to just tell us some of the words?

Yeah?

Sure? What she sing to you? Chat? And she lou sad pillow cud big long cut, I do not have big. I don't remember all the words, but it.

Was a country song.

Yeah.

What'd she cook for dinner?

What did you guys like? Efford?

Do you remember any of that?

I changed my favorite SKay O b asked she'd always feel Margie South.

That's how.

While Shirley was raising her children, Dennis Rader was planning his next murder. It was nineteen seventy seven, and he hadn't killed since Catherine Bright in nineteen seventy four. According to the book Confession of a Serial Killer, he picked March of that year for his next murder because.

It relates to threes. It was the third month. It was also spring break at WSU in work vacation.

On March seventeenth, nineteen seventy seven, Saint Patrick's Day. Coincidentally, Rader left his house. Here's an excerpt from the book Buying Torture Kill, The Inside Story of BTK.

His primary target this day lived at twelve oh seven South Greenswood. If that target didn't work out, just a block to the east at twelve forty three South Hydraulic. There was an alley behind that address, a place to hide, and if those targets didn't work out, he had another backup and yet another. He stopped multiple women, switching surveillance from one to another for weeks, taking notes, pondering escape routes. His not theirs.

Raider's main target at this address was a woman named Cheryl Gilmore. He called her Project Blackout because he had spied on her for weeks prior, drinking heavily at nearby bars. Raider also discovered that Cheryl lived with two other women. If Cheryl wasn't home, surely one of them would be there instead. Here are Raiders' own words, quoted in the book Confession of a Serial Killer.

On that particular day, I drove to Dylan's and parked in the parking lot and watched this particular residence. And then I got out of the car and walked over to the door. I knocked, but nobody answered.

No one was home. Raider got frustrated.

I was all keyed up over not getting into that house on PJ. Green, So I drove and then parked and started going through the neighborhood. I had on my James Bond jacket, a tweed jacket, and nice shoes. I had enough projects I had been watching that if one didn't work out, I could just go to another. But while I was walking away from the intended house and down hydraulic, I saw a young boy coming back from Dylan's. I figured he had a mother in the house.

That young boy was Steve Ralphord. His mother, Shirley, was sick with the flume. She had sent him on an errand to pick up some soup from the store. Dylan's raider approached Steve on his way back home.

I had a picture in my wallet of my wife baby, so I used it to pretend I was looking for them. I asked if he had seen them. I knew he wouldn't know them. He told me he didn't, but I watched where he went.

Next raider waited about fifteen minutes before approaching the door. Finally he knocked.

This boy opened the door with his brother. I told them I was a private detective and showed them the picture. I carried a blue briefcase large enough for my hit kit, cord tape, plastic bags, a gun, but not too large to be noticed when I carried it on the street, like I was a salesman or a businessman.

Steve was just a little boy, six years old. He didn't know better, and even if he was older and more prepared, he couldn't have predicted that this man was a murderer. After Steve opened the door, he didn't really respond to Raider's speech about being a detective. So Rader forced his way through the doorway and brandished a gun. Shirley heard the commotion from the other room and came out to see what was going on.

I told her I had a problem with the sexual fantasies and I was going to tie her up. I pulled down the blinds and turned off the TV. I said I would tie up the kids first. I decided to put the kids in the bathroom and shut the door. We put toys and blankets in there for them. She told the kids to do whatever I said. I tied the door shut, but the kids were still yelling. She helped me to shove a bed against the door. Then I proceeded to tie her up.

First, Rader used electrical tape to bind her hands and feet. Then he used cores and nylon stockings to tie up her ankles and wrists even tighter, and he placed her face down on the mattress. All the while, steven siblings were banging on the door and screaming. Raider threatened to shoot them, so they quieted down, and then Shirley Vyanne got sick and vomited on the floor.

I think my being there had made her worse. She was partially tied when I got her a glass of water and comforted her a bit.

After Rader finished tying up Shirley Vyanne, he pulled a plastic bag around her head and began to strangle her until she died.

I used white plastic bags, garbage size that you could buy in a roll. I like the ones in a box, using plastic gloves, I folded them neatly and placed them in another bag. That bag would go with me in case it had fingerprints or material on it.

The room became more chaotic when suddenly the phone rang. It startled Rader, and the kids started to scream and bang on the door once again. Rader decided it was time to go. He packed up his hit kit and left the house. He didn't realize the kids had escaped through the bathroom window and were running around the neighborhood yelling out for help.

The kids were able to get out. They broke out the window and were able to escape. We worked with the children as best we could.

This is former Wichita Police Chief Richard Lemonnion. He says the Wichita Police Department was called by a neighbor who found Steve and his siblings running around outside. When police arrived, they questioned the children, but it was tough to get much out of them.

One of the children I think was six or eight, but he was intellectually challenged, and so we did work with him to try to get some ideas. We did get the fact that it was a white male. We knew also he had a bag, which stands to reason because he'd brings the tape, he brings the rope, he brings the guns, he brings everything he needs the bags. So we were able to establish that. We had specialists work with the children, but again that was to no avail.

Lemunion says the kids were too stunned to formulate coherent recollections, which is understandable given their age and the situation. Still, it took investigators a while to figure out what happened, as Lemunion says, they discovered Vyanne's body, along with all of the rope tape and one of the bags that BTK left behind. They also found seamen at the crime scene where the killer supposedly masturbated. Police immediately noticed the

Supervisors told them to stop guessing and work the evidence. If BTK had killed Shirley Vyanne, it meant he was a serial killer, and the brass didn't want to leap to that conclusion or set off a panic.

Le Monnion says he had a hunch that was the same person who killed the Otos, but ultimately he decided not to release an official statement connecting the murders. He didn't want to give BTK any incentive to kill again, and he didn't want to create a frenzy. He says his main objective following the Vane murder was to protect the people of Wichita from further tragedy.

The big thing that weighs on you is the fact that this is going to happen again. You know what's going to happen again, and that's what frustrates you to the point that what else can I do to protect the community. It's not so much that I'm worried about my children, because I can protect them, but it's the other single moms. It's the other people that can't protect themselves.

While investigators were busy in making sense of the Buyan murder, Steve Ralford's life had been turned upside down.

After that.

We went to Posha home and my grandparents. They had to have a bunch shit. They come gays from okah huh, and that's what in my fucking trouble. Well, he started guarded smoking, shooting dope with Data nine, bringing age of six.

I ain't I don't know, camera rebellious. You can give shit about nothing or nobody.

When you went to your grandparents' house after the Foster home, was there any kind of therapy or I.

Mean they try to give me therapy. I've become remillions. Like I said, I thank her My brother and sister, they both and draw the yesesile of their life.

Me.

They said I was too fucking smart. What might be a smart?

Ask me?

I'm not smart.

My heart breaks for Steve Ralford. Over the years, I've gotten to know this man well and watch him try over and over again to overcome the tragedy of his mother's death. Yes, it spiraled him out and sent him down a path of self destruction, but I've also watched him heal and come to terms with the events of his life. Steve has spent the last many years slowly pulling himself up, and I'm just happy that I've gotten to know him and to be alongside him in his journey to recovery.

Nowadays, that family I had two kids, more about I can't do shit.

And hard.

The unfortunate reality is that Steve was just one of many people whose lives would be destroyed by BTK. Because Shirley Vanne was far from the last BTK victim. Only months later, this time BTK would strike again.

Yeah, you will find a homicide forty three, Ny Fox, I'm sybody to address.

Shirley was killed in March of seventy seven, and in December of seventy seven Nancy Fox. Nancy was killed.

Raider had discovered Nancy Fox on another of his prowls through the streets of Wichita. He would drive around and scope out women that might make good targets. He was still reeling from the high of the Shirley Vyanne murder, and one day he discovered Nancy walking into her apartment at eight forty three South Pershing. She was coming home from her job at the nearby mall. Raiders spent weeks following her to and from work. He determined that she

I knocked first to see if anybody was home. I had studied her work routines and knew she arrived at a particular time. I just wanted to be sure. Nobody answered the door, so I looked around, went around to the back of the house and cut the phone lines. I cut the window, broke in and waited in the kitchen.

Raider recalls seeing Christmas decorations throughout the apartment. She was very clean and tidy, something he liked about her. He waited and waited until finally.

She came in. She was startled. She asked what I was doing there After, we confronted each other. I told her I traveled a lot. I meant no real harm. I had a sexual problem. I wanted sex. I would tie her up and take a picture. She took her park off. I believe it was white or cream colored. As she laid her park it down, I began to smoke. I sat on the couch and she sat on a chair on the west side of the living room. She was upset.

According to Rader, Nancy said something to the effect of, let's get this over with so I can call the police. That was a mistake.

She sealed her doom for sure when she told me she would contact the police. I wore no mask or anything to hide my face. I had to kill her.

At this point, Rader says Nancy asked to go to the bathroom. He said yes, but instructed her to remove her clothes. After she returned, he handcuffed her, bound her feet at the ankles, and gagged her.

I got on top of her, and then I reached over, took a belt, and then strangled her with it. That's all I needed with a victim in bondage. The act of strangling brought gratification quickly along with a victim struggling.

This guy wanted to be in position.

I was like, God, he's going to determine whether or not you're get to live when you got to die. He's going to play with these victims and torture these victims psychologically and physically.

This is former FBI profiler John Douglas. He says that the murder of Nancy Fox was a prime example of Raider's peculiar mo because Raider didn't just strangle Nancy until you died.

This guy wasn't killing him right away. He'd get him to the point of death and then bring them back, and then brings them back to the point of death.

Fox passed out. I had her come back, and I whispered in her ear a little bit I told her I was BTK, I was a bad guy. This was the torture thing. You can visualize being tied up and knowing that something's going to happen to you and you can do nothing. That's my torture. What he was doing.

It was very similar to some other cases we've seen, like this kind of torture where they'll strangle and you can see marks on the throat where there's kind of like skid marks.

And what it is.

It's they're using ligature strangulation and then the ligature will be released at the point where they're unconscious. They wait for them to regain conscious, and then they put it on their neck again, and so you see that there'd be several marks on the victim's throat. It's just for the sake of again playing God's part of the torture.

The murder of Nancy Fox was also another example of Raider killing a woman in a sexual way without actually having sex with them. He once again chose to masturbate rather than engage in penetrate of sex, and for someone like John Douglas, this was telling.

He was getting a sexual euphoria from the acts that he was doing and killing was part of that. Sexual penetration on.

The victims was absent.

He would stand over then and ejaculate onto the victims. Well, I would find out later on sexually penetrating or having sex with him, that would be like cheating on his wife.

This is the thinking of these people.

And I'd be cheating on my wife if I do that. But if I masturbated the scene, I mean that's okay.

The murder of Nancy Fox was all so yet another example of Raider trying to deceive the victim. Remember he told Nancy Fox some story that he was just passing through. He had told Steve Ralford he was a private detective for Douglas. This was also a good indicator of the type of killer that Raider was him.

And another case is they'll come up with a story to control them, to make them settle down. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. The story was he would go in there like he's escapee. He's committed a crime. I need your car, I need your food, and I'm not going to hurt you, and want some money. Then

Clearly, the goal in each of these cases was twofold. One to the victim down and keep the situation under control. Two to fill a twisted sense of power by lulling the victim into a false sense of security. According to John Douglas, Raider's patterns should have been clear to the local investigators by this point, and in fact, Wichita PD could no longer ignore the fact that this was BTK.

He left semen in a neglige beside her. She was laying face down on the bed, and he obviously took some pictures while he was in there, took a driver's license.

This is retired Wichita Police Chief Richard Lemunion Again. He said he was shocked to find another BTK murder so soon, and this time his attitude changed about addressing the BTK problem publicly.

It was after Nancy that I made the decision we need to do officially give him credit, stopping keeping from doing anything else.

And police would get plenty of opportunities to do just that because BTK decided he wanted to communicate once again. First, not long after the murder, nine to one to one dispatch received a strange phone.

Call, good if you will find a homicide forty three stop, I'm going what is your address?

The dispatchers received a call indicating he said you will find a homicide and gave the address and her name. That's the communications that we got from him through the dispatch, which was obviously taped, so we tried to follow up on that.

Le Monnion says the call came in just after a on the morning of December ninth. They immediately sent someone to investigate the source of the payphone call.

The phone that he used was outside of a grocery store was on Central Street and there was a firefighter who was off duty, and then he had just walked out of there. The investigator went back about the time the call came and firefighter came up and said, yeah, I saw a guy, and he was able again to tell us about a white male. That's when it became so clear that this was a game they was playing, but he was using innocent people and he was killing them and he was going to kill again. We had

Using a public payphone and his own voice was a monumental risk, But BTK loved the thrill. He loved it so much, in fact, that he followed it up with another letter in January of nineteen seventy eight, once again addressed to the Wichita Eagle.

Actually was a poem. He sent us a poem on Shirley Surely thy In sure you have seen.

The poem Shirly locks, surely locks? Wilt thou be mine? Thou shalt not scream nor yet to feel the line, but lay on cushion and think of me and death and how it's going to be.

For whatever reason, this poem flew under the radar. Perhaps the mail room team at The Eagle thought it was just some bizarre prank, and so it wasn't reported to police or connected to BTK, at least not yet.

And then in February a letter from BTK was sent to Cake TV claiming responsibility for Surely and for Nancy.

Good afternoon.

This morning k T they was contacted by the person who police say they believe murdered four members of the Joseph Otero family in January of nineteen seventy four, executive producer Ron Lowan receive the letter. He's with us today to give us the information, ron Jack.

The communication came in the form of a two page typewritten letter addressed to Kake Channel ten. It was signed with the initials BTK. BTK claims to have strangled a total of seven women, seven people, rather mostly women. He provided a list of his victims, beginning with the number five, where he wrote you guessed the.

Victim and the motive.

Then he listed Shirley Vyanne as his sixth victim and provided a paragraph of details concerning the murder, with many details known only to the police.

Hake received the letter on February ninth, nineteen seventy eight, along with the poem we told you about in episode one called Oh Death to Nancy. It also included crude hand drawings of the Nancy Fox crime scene. The letter started, I.

Find the newspaper not writing about the poem on vanne Unamusing a little paragraph would have been enough. I know it's not the news media's fault. The police chief he keeps things quiet and doesn't let the public know there's a psycho running around loose, strangling mostly women. There's seven in the ground. Who will be next?

Later in the letter, he mentioned Nancy Fox by name.

There is no help, no cure except death or being caught and put away. It's a terrible nightmare, but you see, I don't lose any sleep over it. After a thing like Fox, I come home and I go about life like anyone else.

Then he brought up the matter of his own moniker.

Before a murder or murderers, you will receive a copy of the initials BTK. You keep that copy, the original will show up someday on guess who You may not be the unlucky one. Ps. How about a name for me? It's time seven down and many more to go. I like the following. How about you? The BTK strangler, Wichita Strangler, poetic Strangler, bond age strangler, the Wichita Hangman, the Wichita Executioner, the Garat Phantom, the exphyxiator.

It was a Saturday morning and the postcard had come into our mail room, and so the station manager and I took the postcard down to the Wichita Police Department and we gave it to the police, and we asked to talk to him about this because obviously something was up.

This is KKE TV anchor Larry Hadiberg, and.

So he went into a room with his chief detective, shut the door. After about a half hour, came out and he told us that he wanted to go on our air that night at about six o'clock in the evening and tell the people of Wichita that the serial killer was loose. We were shocked. Wow, this is incredible.

I went to KTV with the idea that what we wanted him to do was communicate with us. And I have to tell you at that time we had great rapport with the reporters at KKTV, their higher ups, and with the newspaper. I mean that's the time and history when really we were partners. We had to have the media. This was his communication network. So we encouraged him to communicate until we could find out who this individual was.

So obviously we went back to the television station, prepared the newscast and waited for the police chief to come and sure enough he shows up, goes on the air and says, we have a serial killer in Wichita. Here's what we know about him.

But with us right now is Chief of Police Richard Lemoniam, who has been reviewing the letter since this afternoon, and I have a couple of questions, Chief, how can you be sure that the BTK letter is authentic.

Or on After reviewing the contents of the letters? Absolutely no question that the only person who would have the type of information that was included in the letter would have to be the killer himself.

Do you know what the initials BTK stand for?

Is?

It's our feeling that the initials that were placed there stand for buying, torture and kill. We have an individual who apparently has the uncontrollable desire to kill at times, he is not a rational person during that frame of mind. So I think an undo or a special awareness on the part of the citizens be alert call us when they have any type of information that they feel could be relevant, even if it seems at the time very insignificant, it might be just exactly.

What we need.

The race to catch BGK now included the media as purveyors of public information. They cooperated with police to try and find the now infamous killer.

Last February, police Chief Richard Lemonnion ask KKE TV to run us second picture in one of our news reports psychologists were hoping BTK would unconsciously detect the subliminal message and follow its instructions. It's the same principle as splicing shots of popcorn into a movie to make the viewer hungry. Subliminal messages of all kinds are illegal, but Cake was given special permission by the.

SEC to air the report. And here's what it looked like.

That's the Catherine Bright murder that occurred in April of seventy four.

When we slow the picture down electronically, you can see the subliminal message. The message shown here, still framed, urged BTK to call the chief.

He did not.

As a journalist, it's a tricky balance when working with the police. On the one hand, we have to be purely objective and remain independent from any agency authorities included. On the other hand, when police need your help to track down a killer, you feel a certain responsibility to help them.

We had, for the most part, good relations with the police department, but in journalism you're always going to rub knuckles with them at some point, and we did.

This is former Cake TV anchor Larry Hadiberg.

Again.

Anytime we got anything related to BTK, we turned it over immediately. We would get it, we would photograph it, we would call a PD and they would have it. So we turned everything, we had, everything we knew over to the police department because we wanted to cooperate. I mean, we're not standing in the way of catching anybody, and I think it's important for a local television station to be part of a solution. We tried to work with them and the FBI and anybody else and at the

Following that big news broadcast, a tip line was made public, and Richard Lemonian says it blew up almost immediately.

When we announced the fact that we did as a serial killer. We had hundreds, literally hundreds of tips, and we put additional officers, additional detectives to run every one of those tips down.

Meanwhile, Dennis Rader was getting scared once again. The overwhelming attention spooked in so he decided to lay low and stop sending letters temporarily. Besides, he had other matters to worry about. His second child and only daughter, Carrie, was born in nineteen seventy eight.

So I grew up in Wichita, Kansas. We lived in Park City. It's a small northern suburb of Wichita. It's about five thousand people. I lived nine houses down from my mom's parents, Eileen and Palmer dates.

Carrie recently visited the Tenderfoot Studio to talk with Payne Lindsay. She says she has fond memories of growing up in Wichita. Obviously, she was unaware of the chaos of the time. She only knew her father, Dennis as a regular dad.

By the time I was toddling, he would like take me out gardening. I was three or four. He was teaching me about all the plants, the vegetables, growing seasons, soil. Anything Dad was doing I wanted to do. He loved the outdoors, so he was cool and let me get muddy. He had this big, huge, like green gardening book and in the winter we would like do Burpy's Calloggs, so we would like pick out seeds and plan. He was obsessed with gardening when I was little.

But Carrie also remembers peculiar things about Dennis from her childhood. For example, he would have these unpredictable bursts of rage and anger, and he could never sit still.

My mom would always tell him when we were growing up, can't you just sit down for five minutes?

You know?

He always had to be busy, always active. He always had like the Wichita eagle out, like he was marking it with these markings or cutting things out of it, or he was always messing with something. Later on, he would have his stamps out. Saturday nights were sitting down to watch a movie. We're popping popcorn and having pop. Everyone else is just choosing a comfortable chair to watch a movie. And now he's setting up the card table

How did your mom know when to say that?

Because he was tight and he was tense. His eyes would narrow and like he's about to yell, or he is yelling. He's making your life uncomfortable. Like later we said it was like walking on inkshells at times with him.

Ironically, Carrie says Dennis was very protective over her and her mother. He was obsessed with safety, always worried that an intruder might break in and harm them.

He had dead bolts on our front door and our back door.

In the kitchen, and why was that.

So he worked for eighty t so I feured he was security conscious because he knew about alarm systems. He knew about people breaking into homes. He was making home for more secure with alarm systems.

But what do you think he was protecting you from bad guys?

But literally, it's like he's so messed up. It was almost like he was protecting us from him. But it's because he knew how bad people could be. When I'm little, he's teaching me these things. So you're not supposed to be telling kids about like home invasions. He's telling me like, well, the kitchen door isn't that great? Because the windows too big, and somebody can just punch out the glass and then they can reach in. But if it's dead bolton and the key's not in, then they can't get in. They

It seems like, at least from what I'm picking up, that you sort of look at your dad as two different people. So my question is this is kind of weird. But going back to being like a six year old hindsight looking back, do you feel like the BTK killer would have ever harmed you?

I don't know.

That's one of those big questions. Part of my ability to survive and do what I need to do now is to compartmentalize. So like with my father, I have to put Dad in BTK like day to day now, I don't think of my dad as BTK I can separate it, or I'm not really even thinking about my dad. I'm living my life as a mom and writer and whatever I'm doing right, My dad's my dad. He could be mean and mad, but most of the time ninety five percent of the time he's like my best friend.

While Raider was raising his daughter, he was also planning yet another murder. By April of nineteen seventy nine, he was still taking classes at Wichita State, and he used this as an excuse to his family for late night absence. One night, he spotted a twenty four year old woman named Rebecca walking into a nearby house. A few nights later, Raider got to work after classes. On the night of

I also cut the phone line in my trademark. I used tape on the window where I broke in, and perhaps a glass cutter, which I now carried in my kit. Since the house was dark when I came, I thought perhaps she was asleep. Further, I saw a car in the garage, so I tried a cat burglar approach, going through the basement window, but the house was empty.

Raider waited and waited. What he didn't know at the time was that this was actually the home of sixty three year old Anna Williams. The young woman named Rebecca that he'd seen was her granddaughter. Williams was out square dancing on this night and wouldn't be home for quite a while. Raider busied himself by rumging through her drawers

Twas a perfect plan of deviant pleasure, so bold on that spring night, my inner felling hot with propension of the new awakening season, warm, wet with interfere and rapture, my pleasure of entanglement like new vines at night, Oh Anna, why didn't you appear alone? Now? In another time span, I lay with sweetened rapture garments across most private thought, bed of spring, moist grass, clean before the sun enslaved

Oh?

And why didn't you appear?

Next time? On Monster BTK.

He broke into her house, expecting her to be home because her car was there, But she had fond with this man. She's not home, so he hides in her closet.

The body was discovered here at fifty third Street North, just east of Webb Road.

Before she died, we had a very very close relationship.

He killed a woman in his own neighborhood that violated his own rules don't kill close to home.

If he was dead, we knew that we would find the trophies sometime, or if he was still alive at some point, he's going to come back.
