Forensic Computer Investigation Brings Notorious Serial Killer BTK to Justice (Dennis Rader‪)‬

Between 1974 and 1991, a serial killer terrorized the citizens of Wichita, Kansas, murdering 10 people under the moniker he created for himself: BTK, which stood for "bind, torture, kill." The Wichita police dedicated more than 100,000 hours, investigated thousands of suspects, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to identify and capture BTK. What made this case especially bizarre was the killer's habit of sending the Wichita police taunting communications over the years. Detectives used many tactics to encourage BTK to send these communiques, believing they would eventually lead to the killer's identification and capture.
