I mean, what I find fascinating about all this is that you say that, you know, Dennis Rader, of course, his big motivation is to be famous.

You know, he wanted to be seen on par with the Zodiac Killer and, you know, and Jack the Ripper.

What is it that keeps him from claiming fame?

more victim, like what, what is it a sense of pride that he has that keeps him from saying like, because 11 victims, 12 victims would make him more notorious than 10.

What is it that keeps him from claiming more in order to get more fame in order for people to keep talking about BTK?

Well, earlier you said that you, you've known Dennis Rader for 14 years, but like, what does it mean to know Dennis Rader?

Henry needs to know, what is his favorite television show?

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.
