00:00:07
after btk's first set of murders it reads the attached analysis is only as good as
00:00:14
the information that has been provided in addition it may be necessary to totally change or modify this analysis
00:00:22

00:00:30
from research multiple homicides Wichita Kansas the murders of the offender known to the
00:00:40
public only as the BTK are the result of a fantasy acted out a fantasy where for the first time in
00:00:47
his life he is in a position of dominance he is an inadequate type a nobody who through his crimes has placed
00:00:57
himself in a position of importance the BTK Strangler is now a somebody who is receiving the recognition he feels is
00:01:06
a long overdue he is not even very original in his crimes he has patterned himself after other
00:01:14
Killers such as the Son of Sam in New York City most of the verbiage used by the
00:01:22
offender in his letters probably comes out of recent Publications in detective magazines
00:01:28
the subject is alienated lonely and withdrawn he would not be expected to have any
00:01:35
lasting relationships with others and would lead a solitary existence dominated by fantasy magical thinking
00:01:44
his killing is an attempt on his part to find affection and acceptance he fears everyone including himself
00:01:53
he would not be expected to have had any normal relations with women and probably has never had a normal
00:02:00
heterosexual relationship with one when he is not killing he experiences intense feelings that he is not normal
00:02:09
and therefore he kills to cope with this disorder an attempt to escape within his
00:02:14
own fantasies thus he can be expected to kill again and to do so in a compulsive repetition
00:02:22
pattern that he has already established his victims can be either male or female
00:02:29
who are both loved and outgoing his victims will be in a position of vulnerability where he can totally
00:02:36
render them helpless his victims represent his own feeling of helplessness and hopelessness
00:02:43
his own life has been disruptive he probably comes from a background where his family was broken
00:02:51
he was raised by an overbearing mother who was inconsistent in her discipline and his father was absent either because
00:02:58
of marital Separation or death this would have occurred when he was a youth your subject may have been raised by
00:03:06
foster parents your subject was an average student in the classroom however he was more Adept
00:03:13
to disrupting the class by using profanity and pranks his language and statements make us
00:03:19
believe that he has some military experience and or is a police buff he probably has had run-ins with the
00:03:28
police in the past such as assault and or breaking and entering during these break-ins items taken will
00:03:36
be items of insignificance these items would have been taken because of a fetish or to feed a strong
00:03:42
urge to take an article of clothing or an item that he is fond of or the satisfaction of committing a crime that
00:03:50
will leave little evidence to investigators BTK may have a history of voyeuristic
00:03:57
activity and he may have an arrest record for these types of offenses he hunts his victims by selecting
00:04:04
neighborhoods where he can peruse different houses without being detected furthermore his victims will live in an
00:04:11
area where if need be he can have an easy Escape Route such as a neighborhood park where he can hide to elude police
00:04:18
his killings are impulsively motivated and without elaborate planning he seeks out targets of opportunity
00:04:26
such individuals of this type suffer from insomnia and thus find it difficult to Hold Steady employment
00:04:33
control of himself and of his environment is essential to such a person although he is gaining in
00:04:39
confidence he is still shy withdrawn and isolated BTK will continue to kill until
00:04:46
he is caught or killed [Music]
