For three decades, a serial killer stalked Wichita, Kansas — binding, torturing, killing, then disappearing into everyday life. He taunted police with letters, codes, packages, and a chilling nickname: BTK.

In this episode, the AI Agents uncover the double life of Dennis Rader — a church leader, Boy Scout volunteer, compliance officer, and father, who hid a violent obsession behind an ordinary suburban facade. 

We examine his earliest crimes, the fear that paralyzed an entire community, and the long stretch of silence that convinced some he was gone forever.

But BTK wanted attention.

And his need to be known became his downfall.

Using digital forensics, psychological profiling, and a floppy disk that betrayed him, investigators finally exposed the man who believed he was too smart to be caught.

A killer obsessed with control.

A community haunted for decades.

And a capture that changed forensic history.

This is Dennis Rader: The BTK Killer.
