Letters Written By Dennis Rader--BTK

[LadyBlue]

Just rereading the letters that were written, supposidly by BTK, whom we know now is Dennis Rader, I'm wondering a few things. Some things I understand, and others I question. I think that we need to at least have some idea of what actually was in this mans mind when he wrote these things, or at least try to understand.

I write this letter to you for the sake of the tax payer as well as your time. Those three dude you have in custody are just talking to get publicity for the Otero murders, They know nothing at all. I did it by
myself and no ones help. There has been no talk either.

Lets put it straight........

Joe:
Position: Southwest bedroom, feet tie to the bed. Head pointed in a southerly direction.

Bondage: Window blind cord.

Garrote: Blind cord, brown belt.

Death: The old bag trick and strangulation with clothes line rope.

Clothed: White sweat shirt, green pants.

Comments: He threw up at one time. Had rib injury from wreck few week before. Laying on coat.

Julie:

Position: Laying on her back crosswise on the bed pointed in southwestern direction. Face cover with a pillow.

Bondage: Blind cord.

Garrote: Clothes line cord tie in a clove-hitch.

Death : Strangulation twice.

Clothes: Blue house coat, black slack, white sock.

Comments:Blood on face from too much pressure on the neck, bed unmade.

Josephine:

Position: Hanging by the neck in the northwest part of the basement. Dryer or freezer north of her body.

Bondage: Hand tie with blind cord. Feet and lower knees, upper knees and waist with clothes line cord. All one lenght.

Garrote: Rough hemp rope 1/4 dia., noose with four or five turns.

Clothes: Dark bra cut in the middle, sock.

Death: Strangulation once, hung.

Comments: Most of her clothes at the bottom of the stairs, green pants, and panties. Her glasses in the southwest bedroom.

Joseph:

Position: In the east bedroom laying on his back pointed in eastern direction.

Bondage: Blind cord.

Garrote: Three hoods; white T-shirt, white plastic bag, another T-shirt

Clothes line cord with clove-hitch.

Death: Suffocation once, stranglation-suffocation with the old bag trick.

Clothes: Brown pants, yellow-brown stripe T-shirt
Comments: His radio is blaring.

All victims had their hand s tie behind their backs. Gags of pillow case material.

Slip knotts on Joe and Joseph neck to hold leg down or was at one time. Purse contents south of the table. Spilled drink in that area also, kids making lunches.

Door shade in red chair in the living room. Otero's watch missing. I needed one so I took it. Runsgood.

Themostat turn down. Car was dirty inside, out of gas.

First I guess I would like to know who the three dudes that LE had in custody. Who were they and what made LE suspect them of anything?

Second: Why when writing this, is he not putting endings on the words like a normal person would, such as s or ed?

Third: How would he know that Joe had been in a wreck and had a rib injury?

Fourth: Why would he cut off Josephine's bra?

Fifth: He says the kids were making lunches so they had intended to go to school. How did Josephine get to the basement? Did he take her there, or did she run there?

Sixth: Door shade in red chair in the livingroom. Why is the door shade off? Who let this man in exactly, if the children had been making lunches? Did Julie let him in? And, if she did, it would seem that the only reason that she would have, would have been because she knew him. Charlie Otero has said that his father always made everyone look out to see who was at the door before opening it, so Julie wouldn't have opened the door to someone that she didn't already know.

She knew him from Coleman, and didn't think twice about not opening that door. When he got in he must have grabbed her. She may have swung at him knocking the blind off the door.

I'm sorry this happen to society. They are the ones who suffer the most. It hard to control myself, You probably call me"psychotic with sexual perversion hang-up".

Where this monster enter my brain I will never know. But, it here to stay. How does one cure himself? If you
ask for help, that you have killed four people, they will laugh or hit the panic button and call the cops.

I can't stop so, the monster goes on,and hurtm an well as society.

Society can be thankfull that there are ways for people like me to relieve myself at time by day dreams of some victim being torture andbeing mine.

It a big complicated game my friend of the monster play
putting victims number down, follow them, checking up on them, waiting in the dark, waiting, waiting....the pressure is great and some times he run the game to his liking. Maybe you can stop him. I can't.

He has already chosen his next victim or victims. I don't who they are yet. The next day after I read the paper, I will know, but it to late.

Good luck with your hunting.

YOURS, TRULY GUILTILY.

P.S. Since sex criminals do not change their
M.O. or by nature cannot do so, I will not
change mine. The code words for me will be ...
Bind them, Torture them, Kill them, B.T.K., you
see be at it again. They will be on the next
victim.

I have many questions on this one, but the most outstanding one to me is in this line : " He has already chosen his next victim or victims. I don't who they are yet. The next day after I read the paper, I will know, but it to late."

Is he saying that he literally blacks out. That he doesn't actually know when he will strike? When this monster inside him will just take over? But he would already know a few from Coleman, so I'm not sure what exactly he is implying here.

They were very lucky; a phone call save them. I was going to tape the boys and put platics bag over there head like I did Joseph, and Shirley. And then hang the girl. God-oh God what a beautiful sexual relief this would been.

You don't understand these things because your not underthe influence of factor x. The same thing that made Son of Sam, Jack The Ripper, Havery Glatman, Boston Strangler, Dr. H.H. Holmes Panty Hose Strangler of Florida, Hillside Strangler, Ted of The West Coast and many more infamous character kill.

It seems senseless but we cannot help it, There is no help, no cure, except death or being caught and put away.

P.S. How about some name for me, its time: 7 down and many more to go. I like the following. How about you? 'THE B.T.K STRANGLER, 'WICHITA STRANGLER', 'POETIC STRANGLER', 'THE BONDAGE STRANGER' OR 'PSYCHO', 'THE WICHITA HANGMAN', THE WICHITA EXECUTIONER, 'THE GAROTE PHATHOM', 'THE ASPHYXIATER'.

I find the newspaper not writing about the poem on Vian unamusing. A little paragraph would have enough. I know it not the news media fault. The Police Chief he keep things quiet.

How many do I have to kill, before I get my name in the paper or some national attention?

Do the cop think that all those deaths are not related?

Yes, the M.O. is different in each, but look at the pattern that is developing.

The victims are tie up _ most have been women _ phone cut _ bring some bondage mater sadist tendencies _ no struggle, outside the death spot _ no wntness except the Vian's kids.

You guess the motive and the victims.

After a thing like Fox, I come home and go about life like anyone else. And I will be like that until the urge hits me again.
