Marcus Parks

And that's something that I wanted to ask you about.

is that you mentioned Annette Funicello, and I know that he, when he was younger, had a lot of very dark fantasies about Annette Funicello.

And one of the things that has always fascinated me about BTK is that every serial killer that you read, every biography starts off with the horrific childhood, starts off with the abuse, right?

With Dennis Rader, there wasn't really any, there hasn't been any evidence.

Like, all the evidence points towards Dennis Rader having a normal childhood.

No abnormalities at all.

So, I mean, is there something hidden there, do you think?

Or is he just like this?

So you say you wanted to study him because he was an outlier.

What did you find?

Not in Wichita, but I was just reading about David Parker Ray and, you know, in his life.

And there was some wild shit going down in Albuquerque in the 70s and 80s that he was a part of.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a different situation, but I also found myself seeing some similarities between David Parker Ray and Dennis Rader.

And after he got the first taste of it, I guess it was just all downhill from there.

And to that point, I mean, you know, of course, the big thing about BTK is that, you know, he would pop up every once in a while and then just suddenly stopped and went dormant and didn't do anything else until he finally resurfaced.

That's not true.

It's not.

Famously, yeah, Debbie Harry, the lead singer of Blondie.
