  • Resumen

  • In the annals of crime, few names evoke the same chilling shiver as that of the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader. Known for his sadistic modus operandi to "bind, torture, and kill," Dennis Rader was a shadowy figure of terror in Wichita, Kansas. Yet, even after his capture in 2005 and his subsequent confession to ten heinous crimes, many questions remained unanswered. "Awaiting Admission: BTK's Unconfessed Crimes" dives deep into this intricate web of uncertainty, shining a light on the shadows that still linger. Every episode of this gripping podcast peels back a layer of the complex narrative surrounding one of America’s most notorious serial killers. While Rader may be incarcerated, the quest for truth and justice remains very much alive. With an array of previously unadmitted crimes potentially linked to BTK, there's an urgency to uncover the full breadth of his dark legacy. Listeners can expect a front-row seat to candid interviews with the very detectives and experts who played pivotal roles in the hunt for the BTK Killer. Hear firsthand accounts of the manhunt, the breakthroughs, and the haunting suspicions that there may be more victims yet acknowledged.

But "Awaiting Admission" doesn’t stop at recounting past endeavors. The podcast journeys with the ongoing investigations into the crimes Rader has yet to confess to but remains the prime suspect in. With Osage County's recent revelations hinting at BTK’s potential involvement in additional crimes, including cold cases that had lain dormant for decades, the stakes have never been higher.

  • Dr. Katherine Ramsland Interview Behind The Mind Of BTK Part 5

    Dr. Katherine Ramsland Interview Behind The Mind Of BTK Part 5
    Jun 20 2024
    In a gripping and revealing conversation, forensic psychologist Dr. Katherine Ramsland, known for her deep-dive exploration into the mind of the notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader (the BTK Killer), spoke with Tony Brueski on the podcast "Hidden Killers". Ramsland, the author of Rader's autobiography, offered an unrivaled glimpse into the process of understanding extreme offenders, her experiences with Rader, and the effect of this journey on the field of criminology and forensic psychology.

    Ramsland shared, "I've been teaching a course on extreme offenders for several decades... I had just finished a book where I looked at a dozen cases of mental health experts who had spent a lot of time with either a mass or serial killer, trying to learn as much detail about their developmental process as possible." The opportunity to work on Rader's biography, she mentioned, was one that she couldn't turn down, even though it meant navigating complex situations and trust-building exercises.

    A significant part of the process was to gain the trust of both Rader and the victims' families. Ramsland explained, "I had to write a proposal that everybody agreed with and it essentially, it was to be able to use whatever [Rader] tells me to benefit law enforcement, criminology and forensic psychology." It was a sensitive negotiation that demanded empathy, understanding, and clinical detachment.

    The project had a significant impact on Ramsland's career and research in criminology. Her time with Rader involved prison visits, phone conversations, detailed letters, and a study of his drawings and poetry, among other things. "It taught me things, taught him things. I think it did make a contribution... some people, I use it as a textbook in my classes," Ramsland said, affirming the value of the project to her field.

    Ramsland emphasized that the process of gaining trust was intricate and multifaceted. With the victims' families, she demonstrated her clinical interest and stated her intent to avoid any glorification or excessive graphic details. Ramsland recounted, "I think when I told them my intent... and agreed to the terms, um, and that this was really for me, a professional research project. And that's what I wanted to use it for. They were on board."

    On the other hand, building a relationship with Rader involved satisfying his fascination for puzzles and codes. Ramsland shared, "The first thing he wanted me to do was solve some codes... because he wanted to see if I'd play the game... I did because it was interesting... And then in the end, um, I ended up writing the code that we used for the book." Her willingness to engage in Rader's world allowed her to gain his trust and foster an understanding that eventually led to the creation of the book.

    Ramsland's intensive exploration into the mind of one of the world's most infamous serial killers paints an illustrative picture of the complexities involved in understanding such individuals. This work has not only contributed significantly to the field of forensic psychology but also brought to light the mechanisms of how the minds of extreme offenders work. Her pursuit reflects a compelling blend of professional rigor, human empathy, and academic curiosity, underlining the importance of such investigations for broader societal understanding and law enforcement applications.

Each episode is 90% ads

The content that was actually on topic was excellent but when the episodes are a few minutes of content bookended by 1.5 minutes + of ads and several more minutes of ads at the end it’s not worth it. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s 75%-90% ads.
