"The Monster Next Door: How BTK's 31-Year Reign of Terror Finally Ended"

For three decades, he was the phantom who haunted America's heartland. By day, Dennis Rader was a church-going family man and compliance officer. By night, he was BTK – Bind, Torture, Kill – one of the most sadistic serial killers in history. This is the bone-chilling story of how a predator hid in plain sight for 31 years, taunting police with cryptic letters while systematically stalking and slaughtering innocent families in their own homes. From his first brutal attack on the Otero family to his final victim decades later, BTK perfected the art of psychological terror, turning entire communities into prisoners in their own neighborhoods. We'll expose the shocking arrogance that finally brought him down, the advanced forensic technology that cracked the cold case, and the disturbing double life that fooled everyone – including his own family. Featuring exclusive police recordings of BTK's chilling confessions, never-before-released crime scene evidence, and interviews with the survivors who lived through his reign of terror. This episode reveals how modern technology, old-fashioned detective work, and one killer's fatal mistake finally delivered justice after three decades of horror. Sometimes the most dangerous monsters are the ones sleeping in the bed next to you.
