Episode Details

For more than 30 years, Dennis Rader terrorized Wichita, Kansas — living a double life as a devoted husband, church leader, and Scoutmaster by day, and a sadistic killer by night.

As he taunted police and played a deadly game of cat and mouse, Rader’s arrogance would ultimately become his undoing.

In this shocking conclusion, Vanessa and Dr. Engels break down the psychology of a man driven by control, secrecy, and a need for fame — and the digital mistake that finally ended his reign as the BTK Killer.
