00:00:00
yes [Music] I met Vicki in high school it was like we were just meant to be we had so much
00:00:16
in common that was my favorite song and to this day I'll Crank It Up in the car if I
00:00:26
hear it it just says something about I guess kind of like the way I thought of her maybe there was never
00:00:34
never a doubt in my mind how much my mom and my dad loved us [Music] my name is Bill wagerly I was coming
00:00:46
home for lunch I'm working on that side of town I figured why hurry and get home
00:00:52
for lunch I found Brandon by himself I thought that was unusual for her not to be there
00:00:59
with him I kind of looked around I think for her and didn't find her normal life you
00:01:06
don't expect something bad to be happening she died by strangulation there were a
00:01:13
number of ligature marks around her neck why why her you know what did what did she do what did we do
00:01:24
I was there for 50 police officers that thought that they'll regularly killed his wife could
00:01:33
that person be involved you know who else would have killed the wife did they ask you to take a polygraph yeah I took
00:01:39
a polygraph for them and I also took one privately and did that make them less suspicious
00:01:48
not made them more suspicious why I failed both of them so bill waggerly for 18 years had to
00:01:56
live under the cloud of suspicion that he killed his wife I don't think they put two and two together that this had
00:02:01
anything to do with a serial killer this is BTK this is him he killed my mom Out of the Shadows
00:02:18
[Applause] [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] for three decades Wichita Kansas has
00:02:41
lived with a murder mystery ten victims strangle without mercy and a faceless killer who called himself BTK
00:02:50
and dealt with very very cold-blooded killers but none who have such a tremendous
00:02:57
memory over this many years I've never dealt with anybody like this hello everybody district attorney Nola falston
00:03:04
is Prosecuting Dennis Rader The Man Behind the initials which stand for bind torture and kill we have torture devices
00:03:13
he commented to me at one point I'm sorry I know this is a human being but I'm a monster
00:03:19
you'll learn how Raider became that killer and the untold story of one family's horrific encounter with BTK
00:03:28
bill wegerly was victimized and tortured in this whole episode from the day that
00:03:37
his wife died the day that she was killed it not only killed him it put him under suspicion
00:03:44
for a long period of time bill wegerly and his children have been silent about what happened to them for
00:03:52
19 years they speak for the first time [Music] I remember seeing her across the hallway
00:04:01
in school and just thinking you know wow that is why thickie when they were 16. she was just tall and slender and
00:04:12
attractive well-kept I mean she's quiet and you got married when we were 17. young yeah
00:04:22
sometimes it seemed like they were just you know two kids in love when they were
00:04:28
just 18 Bill and Vicki had a daughter Stephanie what do you remember of your mom to me it seemed like she was always
00:04:35
happy and bubbly and you know easy going and life was life was good eight years later a son Brandon was born my life
00:04:45
revolved around her and and her life revolved around the kids and me and her family too those are the important
00:04:52
things to us then came a day so so surreal that even 19 years later bill wegarley still seems
00:05:02
in shock when was the last time you saw Vicky when I left for work that morning probably about
00:05:09
eight o'clock the date September 16 1986. and I just remember Kessner goodbye which normally I didn't take the time to
00:05:21
do that but that morning I did while bill was at work and Stephanie at school Vicki was home at one point that
00:05:31
morning she was heard playing the piano she was also taking care of Brandon who was then too
00:05:37
I was coming home for lunch and just to see her and Brandon I passed my car on my way home did you
00:05:48
know it was your car yeah I was sure it was my car and could you see who was driving it I saw a person driving it yes
00:05:55
but not your wife no what happened when you got home uh I found Brandon sitting on the floor
00:06:03
by himself were you worried at that moment I was concerned yeah I didn't know exactly what was going on why why
00:06:11
Brandon would be there by himself that that's very unusual what did you do at that point
00:06:17
I've eventually went into the bedroom and discovered her on the floor he had been tied up and strangled then
00:06:26
you start to put things together that the person that was in my car probably I'm sure did this and and I immediately
00:06:34
called 9-1-1 but when police arrived and started putting things together themselves they
00:06:41
came to a different conclusion did they believe you I I don't think they did that's because
00:06:48
Bill failed those two lie detector tests the individual that I hired to take the
00:06:53
polygraph he said he believed what I was saying was true he said it's just the stress that I was under did you think it
00:07:01
was possible you might be charged it got to a point yeah I was fearful of that police never had enough evidence to
00:07:09
actually charge bill or anyone else but the rumors persisted for years I remember going back to school and my my
00:07:18
friends would tell me on the playground that you know my mom and dad said that your
00:07:24
dad did it it was tough wouldn't it what would you say to them I didn't say anything
00:07:33
we knew what the truth was so and just made me more aware of who I was friends with
00:07:42
what about you Brandon yeah I had a teacher I think in middle school that had laid to her younger son who had told
00:07:49
me that me and my dad were bad people and I stay away from us why is my dad killed my mother
00:07:58
as you too got older did you wonder what had happened to your mom yeah what would you think
00:08:06
well I can remember from probably age seven or eight my grandma told me that she thought it was BTK but at that age
00:08:14
you know that meant nothing to me so BTK those initials and this symbol haunted Wichita
00:08:23
representing a phantom killer who had never been caught although it had been nine years since his last known murder
00:08:30
Vicki's brutal death seemed to carry his trademark she had been bound and strangled like all the others before her
00:08:41
February 1974 four members of the Otero family are tied up and strangled including two children nine-year-old
00:08:50
Joseph an 11 year old Josephine who was hanged from a basement pipe April 1974 21 year old Catherine bright
00:09:00
tied up strangled and stabbed to death October 1974 in a note left at the Wichita Public Library the killer took
00:09:11
credit for the Otero murders and gave himself a name BTK for buying them torture them kill
00:09:19
them March 1977 another strangling and this time a witness six-year-old Steve ralphord what do you
00:09:30
remember that day remember everything Steve was walking home from the store with soup for his sick mother when he
00:09:37
was confronted by a stranger he stopped me approaches me shows me a picture asked me did I know who it was
00:09:46
I said no sir I don't know who this is Steve ran home but moments later there was a knock on the door me and my
00:09:54
brother rushed to the door I beat my brother I left the BTK in my house BTK gave Steve and his two siblings a
00:10:04
blanket at some toys then he locked them in the bathroom the terrified children watched through a crack at the top of
00:10:10
the door as their mother Shirley Vian was tied to her bed and strangled what do you remember of him was he tall
00:10:19
blue I remember how tall I don't remember how short but I remember what his face looked like
00:10:27
it sounds like you feel guilt that you ever let him in your house that'll be for the rest of my life how
00:10:37
could you feel guilty about it Steve you didn't have anything to do with us yeah
00:10:41
dude pass the door December 1977 BTK bound and strangled 25 year old Nancy Fox and added a Twist he
00:10:54
reported the murder to police himself [Music] then the killer sent a chilling letter
00:11:07
to a local TV station that read in part how many do I have to kill before I get a name in the paper or some national
00:11:15
attention he apparently was pretty irritated by the lack of news coverage former Wichita police detective Arlen
00:11:22
Smith says the city was in a panic we worked it with a sense of urgency because nobody knew how long it was
00:11:30
going to be before he killed somebody else but then in 1979 BTK seemed to disappear
00:11:39
so when Vicki wegely was killed seven years later police focused on the most logical suspect her husband
00:11:47
I knew there was an individual out there that did this but to me it just seemed like they weren't looking for anybody
00:11:54
else thank you [Music] all the the pain and the heartache and it's miss her what do you miss about her
00:12:21
everything I mean even even at 10 years old you know she was my best friend I don't think people understand that the
00:12:33
difficulties that I had the fears of just raising two kids it was like Stephanie was my second
00:12:42
mother she she stepped in and kind of took over the Weatherly children not only lost
00:12:51
their mother Vicky they also had to endure The Whispers and rumors about their father for 18 years
00:12:59
was there ever a Time Stephanie that you thought your dad might have been responsible for your mom's death oh no
00:13:05
absolutely not never this is kind of a cloud that rests over your head and oh there's Bill weberly his wife was killed
00:13:13
and nobody's ever found the killer hmm [Music] March day and 2 and 2-4 everything changed it started with a
00:13:25
letter to reporter her slaviana this is a copy of the envelope inside the envelope a copy of Vicki
00:13:33
wegerly's driver's license and what appeared to be crime scene pictures of her body I looked at the crime scene
00:13:39
photographs and realized they weren't routine crime scene photographs [Music] they weren't routine because police
00:13:49
didn't take them the only person who could have was the killer we do not have photographs for the scene because she
00:13:57
was transported because it came in as a medical call so EMS gets their transports are out before police have
00:14:03
arrived for lieutenant Ken Landwehr who ran the BTK task force the letter was a huge breakthrough after 18 years it
00:14:12
cleared Bill wegarley an exposed BTK as the real killer this monster come into my home and took my wife from me
00:14:23
you know took my life our whole lives away from us as we knew it and and changed us as people
00:14:31
for the rest of our lives for the weggers and all the families that lost loved ones the BTK the horror
00:14:40
came rushing back we had gone on you know with our lives all these years and then
00:14:47
to have all of it come up again and to have to live through it all again was pretty hard
00:14:54
the return of BTK also shocked wichita's district attorney Nola falston like everyone else in town her life and
00:15:03
career have been haunted by The Faceless killer I was the same as anybody else with locking my doors checking my phone
00:15:12
living in the same fear that everyone else was living with good evening a new letter and new Clues possibly Vicki
00:15:20
wegerly's driver's license was only the beginning throughout 2004 there was a frenzy of
00:15:26
chilling BTK communiques as the killer scattered Clues from past crimes all over the city teasing puzzling and
00:15:36
frightening kfdi the FBI is now checking out a package that was found in a Wichita park
00:15:42
there were dog grams little dolls one with a noose around its neck the killer posed the doll to represent the murder
00:15:50
of 11 year old josefino tarot who was hanged he's perverted he's a sexual offender he
00:15:59
is a pedophile there were cereal boxes btk's sick play on the words serial killer
00:16:09
he's got to be really twisted to have to manufacture these pictures he is sexually benefiting as he's drawn this
00:16:17
stuff why would he reappear after years of Silence okay are you ready police believe it was because of a writer named
00:16:26
Bob Beatty hi excellent book and the publicity surrounding his new book about the murders this guy always wrote
00:16:34
Because he wanted attention he writes to a television station it says how many do
00:16:40
I have to kill before I get some attention submitted his own book to police and then he made a mistake inside
00:16:55
another cereal box he sent a note asking if he could send police a computer disk
00:17:01
and still stay anonymous so he wrote and he said be honest with me his words be honest with me
00:17:09
if I send you a disc will it be traceable you know put in the newspaper it'll be okay Rex and send it under this
00:17:16
code number place an ad in the paper just as BT TK instructed he in turn sent in a disc and
00:17:25
was trapped when it reached its destination immediately it was forensically examined
00:17:31
in no time computer experts traced the discs to a local church and a user named Dennis
00:17:39
a Google search did the rest turning up a Dennis Raider president of the Christ Lutheran Church and I've looked at this
00:17:48
picture and I had I went you have got to be kidding me the ghost to a terrified Wichita for 30
00:17:58
years finally had a face and what a face it was BTK was of all things a dog catcher a
00:18:09
Suburban family man with two grown kids and a tidy little house it all seems so normal
00:18:17
and then it was kind of like oh yeah he fits he just fits he fits the profile he's every man everyone's gut
00:18:27
said Dennis Raider but police wanted the case airtight they wanted DNA they secretly obtained a
00:18:36
sample from Raider's daughter it was taken while she was in college in blood no pap smear
00:18:43
the daughter's DNA was compared to semen left at some of btk's crime scenes and it was a close match
00:18:54
on February 25th three decades after the BTK murders began it all ended one of the most notorious murders in
00:19:04
American history was arrested in the most routine way as he headed home for lunch
00:19:12
it was so emotional I I can't tell you how emotional it was it was so great it was like this son of a
00:19:21
is gone he is out of here [Music] this is big TK and her job is to get a confession from him
00:19:39
he needs to say what he did Wichita Police Lieutenant Ken lamwire spent his entire career preparing for
00:19:48
this one moment confronting the man he believed to be the serial killer BTK I wouldn't declare all the homicides I
00:19:56
just didn't want to clear two or three I wanted all of them as Lynn we're sat down to interrogate
00:20:02
Dennis Rader district attorney Nola folston watched from the next room what was your first reaction
00:20:09
I thought he was a geek I know that sounds terrible but he was just he was so full of himself
00:20:20
for the first few hours Raider admitted nothing then landwair took him by surprise and told Raider there was DNA
00:20:28
evidence connecting him to six of the murders including Vicki wegerley's Raider's skin was found under her
00:20:35
fingernails then it was like the dam had broken you could not shut this guy up what was
00:20:44
the most surprising part of the confession to the one that that I will never forget is the fact of when he
00:20:51
asked me the question Ken why did you lie to me and what's he talking about when he asks
00:20:59
you why he's looking at the floppy disk he didn't think we could trace a floppy disk because he asked me that why'd you
00:21:06
lie to me if you wouldn't have lied to me I wouldn't have sent it to you because I was trying to catch
00:21:12
and when I told him I was trying to catch you he says but we had such a good thing
00:21:17
going you and I had that Rapport he really thought that they would be honest with him can you believe that
00:21:26
it could have sold them to Brooklyn Bridge from that point on Raider eagerly spent
00:21:32
the next 30 hours reviewing the last 30 years of his life as he proudly confessed to murder after murder Raider
00:21:40
revealed a darker nature than anyone could have imagined nauseating he'd start going on on and on
00:21:48
about each and every one of his conquests while Raider was confessing investigators began turning up physical
00:21:57
evidence against him in his City Hall office they discovered in plain sight a cabinet full of souvenirs from the
00:22:05
killings all neatly filed away Raider called the stash his mother lode he had all the original Communications
00:22:14
he had all the evidence all the trinkets driver's licenses all those things were
00:22:21
all very neatly stored all in Finders inside Raiders tiny 900 square foot house investigators found another stash
00:22:31
a container in his closet full of what Raider called slick ads sexual fantasy cards he made using magazine photos of
00:22:39
women and young girls what is wrong with this guy his mind was totally fantasy driven police theorize these
00:22:48
fantasies allowed radar to go years without killing and were keyed to his elaborate double life a life in which
00:22:56
the normal activities of Dennis Rader fed the ghoulish appetites of BTK for instance he told police he used a former
00:23:05
job installing burglar alarms to enter homes and troll for victims you always felt like he was very busy
00:23:13
and you know whatever you got just whatever you need let him know because he's got things to do very busy man
00:23:20
Denise Matic shared an office with Raider at the home security company ADT in the 1980s
00:23:27
Vicki wegely was killed in the middle of the day when he was working at ADT and when you were working with him
00:23:37
which means he had to leave in the middle of the day and then come back after killing a woman and brutally
00:23:42
killing a woman when Raider admitted to the 1985 strangling of marine hedge a woman who
00:23:51
lived on his own block he told police he took the body to his church where he posed and photographed it
00:24:01
it was the same church where he appeared to be so devout he was elected president
00:24:06
of the congregation we just couldn't believe that they were talking about the Dennis Raider that we
00:24:11
knew Carl said years the dentist that came to church every Sunday the dentist that was was
00:24:21
there to help in whatever way we wanted him to help it just didn't it just didn't make any sense
00:24:28
though that He Slipped Away From a Boy Scout trip in 1991 to strangle 62 year old
00:24:35
Dolores Davis it was Raider's last murder his fantasies to take her to a barn string her up and then do some sexual
00:24:45
bondage things with this dead body and photograph her but Raider got caught in a snowstorm and dumped the body under a
00:24:53
bridge instead and it isn't until a couple of weeks later that her body is actually located underneath this bridge
00:25:01
out in the county and they find with it a mask a plastic mask that's been painted decorated with some eyelashes
00:25:11
and lipstick and painted face on it what made him think he had the right to take somebody that
00:25:21
meant the world to me for Dolores Davis's son Jeff learning the identity of his mother's killer is a
00:25:30
fresh outrage what sick perverted pleasure can you possibly get enjoying looking into somebody's
00:25:43
terrified eyes as you strangle the life out of them the BTK suspect will be back in court in
00:25:54
about a half an hour a court proceeding is scheduled at nine o'clock finally Raider was forced to appear in public
00:26:02
for the first time since his arrest sir I have been advised as your desire to enter a plea of guilty in this case is
00:26:10
that correct yes sir on June 27th in a Wichita courtroom he pleaded guilty to all 10 murders I used
00:26:19
a roost as a telephone repairman to get in their house Raiders casual Cooperative tone in the courtroom seems
00:26:26
strangely at odds with the brutal murders he described I was still kind of in a fog I think you know it just didn't
00:26:35
seem real that this person could do these things and then for me it really hit home when he said he walked on up to
00:26:42
the door and heard the piano as I approached it I could hear a piano sound I thought I knew that you know yeah that
00:26:50
was my mom that he heard playing is that the first time you realize this really was the Killer
00:27:02
Naval made him do it I remember one of the detectives saying the Devil comes in an angel's disguise
00:27:28
still doesn't seem it still doesn't seem 100 real to me why not that this normal look you know
00:27:37
normal average guy that's married has two kids does all the normal stuff that that he could do
00:27:45
such horrible things to so many innocent people well we know Dennis Raider did do these
00:27:52
horrible things the only question is why I was able to speak with him by phone and I met with him twice in jail cameras
00:28:01
however were banned this is what Raider told me he says he grew up like any other child
00:28:09
in a loving family and insists he was never abused in fact Raiders court appointed attorney Steve Osborne admits
00:28:18
he tried to find something anything from Dennis Raiders past that could somehow explain BTK we talked to the family some
00:28:27
and you know we didn't see anything that jumped out at us as abnormal no trauma no big event that would scar
00:28:36
him or or cause you know something like this to happen yet it's under eight years of age Raider
00:28:45
told me and investigators he became fascinated with inflicting pain on living things he started with animals as
00:28:53
a young boy but he first became aroused when he was at his grandparents Farm and they would
00:29:03
kill chickens for um for feeding the family and he became very fixated on the death of those
00:29:11
animals foreign and it gets stranger while other boys of his generation looked up to
00:29:19
baseball players Raiders says his hero was Harvey glattman a serial killer who targeted young single women in Hollywood
00:29:27
he was executed in 1959 when Raider was just 14 but glatman became an inspiration for the boy who would grow
00:29:36
up to terrorize Wichita remember Annette Funicello Rader told detectives quote she was my
00:29:48
favorite fantasy hit Target when she was on The Mouseketeers Raider imagined how
00:29:53
he would kidnap the star Mouseketeer and quote do sexual things to her in California
00:29:59
[Music] reader told me that as he got older he collected detective Pope magazines
00:30:05
depicting women in bondage that the act of tying up a human body became an obsession an obsession that he managed
00:30:13
to keep secret from everyone he knew even when he began killing at the age of 29. for all these years
00:30:21
he seemed just like anybody else here he might have been someone you talked to you might have been standing next to him
00:30:27
here in the library right right author Robert Beatty they were looking for crazy Charles Manson somebody with a
00:30:34
history of crime sex crimes mental disorders you get on the elevator with Charles Manson you're going to move
00:30:42
the other side of the elevator he said you get on the elevator with BTK you gotta smile a nod and have a
00:30:48
conversation you're never going to suspect this guy I trusted this man I mean I really trusted him during the
00:30:56
time that Denise Maddox shared an office with Raider at ADT that 14-second phone call reporting
00:31:04
Nancy Fox's homicide was replayed repeatedly on television Denise you worked with him for 11 years I did and
00:31:13
you didn't recognize his voice on that I didn't phone Mr Raider would you please stand with
00:31:20
Council she also never connected the Killer's Behavior with a Dennis Raider she knew he was polite and even
00:31:27
protective of women I was working around all these guys sharing a restroom with him I was the only woman
00:31:33
and he always wanted to make sure that they put the lid down and no dirty jokes he painted the bathroom for me because I
00:31:40
thought it was a it was really gross we know from Raider's own letters to police that he admired famous murderers
00:31:48
like Jack the Ripper and Son of Sam but what isn't widely known is how much he borrowed from his hero serial killer
00:31:57
Harvey glattman a warning what you were about to see may be very disturbing back in the 1950s glapman's victims were
00:32:06
beautiful young models he would lure them with a promise of a photo shoot glattman bound gagged and
00:32:16
then photographed them in the moments before he strangled them Raider told me that's where he got the
00:32:23
idea as Dennis Rader took this of his last killing he shows her laying on the bed
00:32:31
gagged Raider even sketched a drawing of that same victim it was with her eyes open and a very horrified look on her
00:32:41
face and actually reinforcing that she knew of her impending death Raider is proud to take credit for all
00:32:50
of this but what he didn't want the public to know was how far he took his obsession with bondage
00:32:58
this is Raider he took these photographs of himself this one in an open grave he
00:33:05
dug for a victim Dennis Raider did not want that evidence to come out he did not want people to see him in a negative
00:33:12
light he wanted people to see him as some gentleman serial killer we believed that that was totally inappropriate
00:33:21
the killing the stalking the fantasy world somehow Raider managed to hide it all even from the woman who thought she
00:33:29
knew him best his wife of 33 years Paula Rader a bookkeeper they appeared to be a
00:33:36
devoted couple regularly attending church together is it possible that his wife who lived
00:33:43
with him for all those years truly had no idea he was connected to this I'm convinced of it
00:33:50
what makes you say that I've talked to that woman that woman just to be honest is a very very nice
00:33:57
woman a saint She is totally devastated I've talked to his daughter a wonderful wonderful young woman
00:34:04
totally devastated by the actors of this man they had no idea how would his wife
00:34:10
not have any idea that she was living with a serial killer in a 30-year period he disappeared for 10 nights in a
00:34:19
30-year period probably less than a lot of men in America but he hid so much stuff in the
00:34:26
house and you know he was pretty neat he uh he had he kept it neat he kept it orderly a lot of this stuff was at his
00:34:33
his workplace he's such a control freak maybe that's the relationship he had with his wife don't be touching my
00:34:40
things why didn't Raider Target his wife he looked shocked when I asked him that
00:34:46
question he said he didn't kill anyone he knew that his victims were just objects he did say however that his wife
00:34:54
was terrified of BTK and that he once reassured her by telling her to keep all the windows and doors locked I wasn't
00:35:03
really worried he told me since I knew I was the one doing all the killing I'll take care of that Steve Osborne believes
00:35:10
that even if no one had discovered his well-kept secret Dennis Rader dog catcher scout leader Church president
00:35:18
was planning to one day take credit for becoming BTK I think this was his life's
00:35:24
work and he wanted basically to take a bow for it I mean this this is who he was this is what he did I don't think
00:35:31
that he was going to go to the Grave without taking a bow for this what do you hope happens to demonstrator
00:35:37
at this point I hope he's incarcerated for the rest of his life which he will be and that we
00:35:43
never have to hear from him again [Music] it is some person within our community
00:36:00
suffering from a mentality disorder leaning toward the fetish for those in Wichita who lived through
00:36:10
three decades of fear and grief it's like a war has ended and there's not really a victory but the war's over
00:36:19
today is a day they never thought they'd see Dennis Rader is about to be sentenced for his crimes
00:36:27
I can see it in his eyes and his face the sky is an animal he's a monster [Music]
00:36:37
to make sure Raider is put in prison for life the state must present evidence of
00:36:42
his killings after we had heard what she had went through I know for me that's when I
00:36:48
decided that I could be strong enough for her to sit through everything that I had to do to get to
00:36:54
the end of it that's the least I could do for her Fort Steven ralphord [Music] it is a memory he has tried so hard to
00:37:06
forget I see the same thing all my life my mom laying there on that bed me looking over that door
00:37:25
until now this is the only way Steve ralpher could release the anger and grief he has known since his mother was
00:37:33
killed by Raider in 1977. will it be over after the sentencing for you no it will never
00:37:40
be over ma'am never until this son of a is dead my mom was my life and he took it from me
00:37:55
it's pretty satisfying for you guys with the sentencing about to begin ralphord and the other families arrived
00:38:06
to finally confront the man who caused them all so much pain I've waited 14 years
00:38:12
I want him to hear my statement I want to district attorney Nola falston hopes to
00:38:17
expose the real man behind the killer who was invisible and once seemed Invincible this is a man who is Twisted
00:38:27
and the community needed to see that it is a day and a half of my numbing testimony
00:38:38
he strangled her by tying the Rope tightly around her neck put a plastic bag over her head
00:38:45
did Mrs Davis put up any resistance or fight there was nothing that she could do he
00:38:52
stated that it took approximately two to three minutes for her and she felt no more pain
00:39:00
finally my name is Charlie Otero my name is Beverly Platt the families get their
00:39:06
chance to speak I want him to suffer as much as he made his victims suffer although we have never met you have seen
00:39:15
my face before it is the same face you murdered over 30 years ago the face of my mother Julio
00:39:22
Otero for the last 5 326 days I have wondered what it would be like to confront the
00:39:28
walking cesspool that took my mother's precious life if I had your devil nature I would
00:39:34
Delight in the fact that your congregation has turned its back on you that your wife has divorced you that
00:39:39
your own children have disowned you you have now lost everything and you will forever remain nothing thank you your
00:39:46
honor my name's Steve Alford Shirley vienne was my mother after waiting 28 years for
00:39:54
this moment I'd just like for him to suffer for the rest of his life words fail Steve ralphord
00:40:04
you know I don't know so your owner my name is Bill wagerley overwhelmed as his daughter speaks from
00:40:24
her broken heart it's been almost 19 years now that my brother and I had the most important woman in our lives taken
00:40:31
from us it's not fair that we had so little time with her it's not fair that she doesn't
00:40:39
get to see me with her grandchildren my mother begged for her life yeah he showed no remorse
00:40:48
if the families hope to see that remorse from Dennis Raider today they didn't get
00:40:54
it some of them weren't even willing to sit and hear him speak and simply walked out
00:41:03
you can hear them okay I know the victims families won't ever be able to forgive me
00:41:10
I hope somewhere deep down eventually that'll happen when he finally apologizes a final apologize to
00:41:18
[Music] closing words ring Hollow it's pitiable for Mr Raider to stand here looking all
00:41:31
pale and pasty and say how sorry he is you know gosh I'm really sorry well what else do you say after you kill 10 people
00:41:40
thank you at the time of the murders Kansas had no death penalty you Dennis L Raider be
00:41:48
taken by the sheriff of Sedgwick County so the judge gave Raider the maximum sentence
00:41:53
175 years they're coming down the road they're now on Prison property and if the families get their way Dennis Rader
00:42:01
and BTK will just fade into the past I hope that people will not correspond with him have anything to do with him
00:42:11
that would probably be a greater suffering to him than if he was put to death or
00:42:17
tortured or whatever else [Music] [Music] thank you
