BTK Killer: Dennis Rader's Daughter Confronts Dark Legacy in Chilling Netflix Doc

Wichita, Kansas - In a haunting new Netflix documentary, 'My Father, the BTK Killer,' Kerri Rawson grapples with the devastating truth about her father, Dennis Rader, the notorious serial killer who terrorized this city between 1974 and 1991. 'Can you imagine finding out that your father is one of the most evil people on Earth?' Rawson asks in the documentary, which premieres on October 10. Born during her father's murder spree, Rawson recalls the day in 2005 when police revealed the shocking truth: her father, a respected Scout leader and family man, was the BTK Killer. 'I remember sitting around a table with my family eating Kentucky Fried Chicken, and my mother commented that it felt like our father had died,' Rawson says, recalling the surreal moment. Rader, who murdered at least 10 people, was finally caught when authorities traced a floppy disk to a Lutheran church where he held a leadership position. Rawson's DNA, obtained from a Pap smear, matched Rader's genetic profile. In the documentary, Rawson reflects on her father's sinister legacy and its impact on her life, and finds new purpose in helping law enforcement search for other Rader victims. 'My father's crimes are a stain on our community, and I'm determined to help heal the wounds,' Rawson says, her voice trembling with emotion. The documentary features new interviews with Rawson, as well as journalists and law enforcement who covered her father's case.
