wichita police department arrested dennis rader 59 white male. but it wasn t until late june when radar appeared in court for what was supposed to be the first day of his trial that people got a good look at and earful from someone who killed so many people over so many years. instead of the not guilty plea he entertained earlier, there was a surprise. mr. rader, would you please stand with counsel? sir, i have been advised it is your desire to enter a plea of guilty in this case. is that correct? yes, sir. people in and out of court listened agast to rader as he detailed each murder in his cold, chilling emotionless manner. i manually strangled her when she started to scream. rosh ron lowen watched the court appearance on tv. people make a lost point he didn t show emotion. he was showing incredible emotion. the detail that he used.
