and i need everybody else to come back to the task force office so we can figure out how we re gonna do this. foulston: this is the killer? what kind of background or history does this person have? what kind of twisted life has this person led? singular: dennis rader was born in 1945 in kansas, and his family then later moved to park city, kansas. he had three younger brothers. he was the oldest, and that was very important to him in that he thought of himself as a very responsible son. we don t have any evidence at all that he was horrifically abused. he had married parents. as far as we can tell, nothing bad ever happened to young dennis rader. at the same time, he had early on this penchant for doing a couple of things that were somewhat unusual.
when i think about it, you still get goose bumps, because i was present when the disk went into the computer. the mistake that btk made was, he made a copy of that test file, and once he copied it, it locked in identifiers in the computer gibberish. i vividly recall going through, and then you see dennis, and then you see christ lutheran church. otis: the message on the disk had been created at the christ lutheran church in park city. we used google and googled the church. it shows the church, where it s at in park city, and then it shows the officers of the church, and dennis rader was listed as the congregational president. sure enough, right there president of the congregation, dennis rader.
they had their man. once they said the name dennis, i can tell you, some of us were already cheating our way to the car cause we knew we were going. singular: detectives leave the wichita police department, drive up to park city, go to his house, and see, in the driveway, parked is the vehicle that they d picked up on the video from the home depot parking lot. now they know that that is the vehicle, and it s just one more piece confirming that they re on the right track. otis: once detective relph and detective snyder found the black jeep cherokee in the driveway, we were fairly, fairly confident that this was our guy. this dennis rader guy was btk. i can tell you that detective relph was ready, and a couple of us were prepared to help him park down the street, walk up, knock on the door, and when he comes to the door, we re gonna grab him. lieutenant landwehr said, we re not gonna do that. i need somebody to sit on the house. we re gonna send undercover people up to start surveillan
