opposite. the man he dismissed aed the keystone cops says the script was going their way now. were they, in fact, playing him? absolutely. these officers that were interviewing him were hand picked. they had studied him. they knew the characteristics. they were playing to his ego, his strength. making him think, hey, we re buddy buddies. then just as quick lib, they shut him down, the interview ended, the attention stopped the officers went home. it was only then rader tells the psychologist that the reality of his past and the impact on his future finally started to sink in. was there anyway of getting out of this? you know, is there any possible way they got too much on me. and most of my thoughts went back to my family. you know, how my family was holding umm. how are they taking this? you want to think of all those
