EDIT:

Rader, 60, of Park City, entered the guilty pleas as his trial was scheduled to begin Monday.

Prosecutors had said before the hearing that no plea deal was made.

Rader admitted killing 10 people in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991...

The monster was brought down by a simple computer disk.

4. I'm listening live right now
He's describing in detail how he killed the Otero family.

This is unbelievably creepy.

6. Good Lord - he looks like a killer too
Just the kind of officious prick I'd usually pick a fight with - maybe I should rethink my pushy ways ...

7. Every serial killer (aside from Manson) has looked disturbingly normal...
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 10:37 AM by youspeakmylanguage
Berkowitz, Bundy, Dahmer, Gein, not to mention the defendents at Nuremburg - all monsters hiding behind ordinary, stuffy, forgettable faces and petty demeanors.

8. This crazy ba$tard wanted to be caught
Why else would he suddenly reappear from out of the woodwork, sending the cops clues and souvenirs from his crimes?

He wants to be punished for what he's done, and I hope that he gets every bit of punishment that he deserves.

9. onetime president of the church council ...and Boy Scout leader!
The onetime president of the church council at Christ Lutheran Church and Boy Scout leader, Rader admitted killing 10 people in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. The serial killer known as BTK -- the self-coined nickname that stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill" -- taunted media and police with cryptic messages.

10. It is to the point in the US, if you want to find the culprit,
look to the Boy Scouts, or the church.

12. There is something in the water today...
DUers seem extremely ornery and sensitive. It seems every message I've posted as turned into an argument.

14. Sad but true! There is a rotten underbelly to religions, or maybe just
to mankind.

16. What?
sigh....

Neither the boy scouts or religion made this man into a serial killer. Ted Bundy was a republican supporter, John Wayne Gacy a democrat supporter. Jefferey Dahmer was a homosexual, Andre Chikatilo killed many in a secularist state. While you might have your own opinions about either religion or the boy scouts, please refrain from saying that either one created this monster.

15. I am watching the BTK monster on tv right now
He is describing his murders. What bugs me is that he talks exactly like Dick Cheney...out of the side of his mouth, matter of fact, with a lot of uhhhhhhhhhhhs in between his phrases.

What a cretinous bastard.
