His story is mind-blowing. The most elusive maniac in America. A serial killer who inspired Thomas Harris and Stephen King. The key character in the TV series "Mindhunter". He motivated a young boy to become a police officer, who eventually caught him after 30 years, dedicating his life to this pursuit.
For three decades, from 1974 to 2005, a cruel serial killer terrorized the residents of Wichita, Kansas. All his victims - women, men, and even children - were bound with complex knots and then strangled. The killer called himself BTK (bind, torture, kill). Under this nickname, he terrorized the county for years and enjoyed corresponding with the police through a local newspaper. When he was finally caught, everyone was shocked: the cruel sadist and strangler turned out to be Dennis Rader - a loving husband and father, a member of the Boy Scouts, and a respected churchgoer.
The BTK story is unique not only because of the killer's personality. In the 1970s, when the first high-profile strangler murders began, Kenny Landwehr was a local teenager. The impressionable boy wanted to become a police officer to hunt down such killers and scoundrels. No one suspected that he would be the one to catch BTK after 30 years, dedicating his entire professional life to this case. Landwehr played a cat-and-mouse game with the maniac for years, waiting for him to make a mistake. The meticulously reconstructed police investigation, which forms the basis of the book, tells the story of how difficult it is to catch a serial killer, even while living in the same city as them.
