can't help but think that by taunting the police and by giving himself a "professional" killer persona (having "Projects" with codenames) he was just trying to come off as smarter than he actually was. Probably he subconscioudly knew he wasn't the criminal genious he wanted to be, and in the end his stupidity prevailed
You left out the best piece about the floppy disk. He was so narcissistic, he asked if he could be traced by a floppy disk, they told him no, and he sent it. He thought himself so important, no one would lie to him, and that was his downfall Edit to add- and by his downfall, I mean him going to prison. Whether he wanted to go to prison or not is up for discussion
He looked at his correspondence with law enforcement was like a game and somehow imagined the detectives were enjoying the challenge of trying to catch him. He thought they would be honest out of respect for the game. Somehow he saw it as cheating at the game by not telling him he could be identified by the disc.
Yes I was waiting for that bit also as its just mind blowing that you can be this level of narcissistic. Takes quite some credibility away from this interview that is was not included. In fact it seems they are not aware of well documented facts on his capture.
I love hearing the analysis from an actual dr. of this kind of stuff. We can only speculate, he got to analyze the things we could not. I just find it fascinating!
My basketball coach from when I was in HS lived two houses away from him when she was in college in Wichita. She had no idea and couldn’t believe it after.
WOW!!! I remember him telling a story about how he used to look out his kitchen window often at the lady across the street and one day he said to himself "yeah I'm gonna kill her" that could've EASILY been her
At the end of the trial Rader thanked the police detectives, lawyers, etc, in such a way that you'd swear he thought he was accepting an award or congratulating them for finally catching such a genius as himself. He's was a next level, off the charts narcissist.
It blows my mind that so many of these infamous people who commuted horrible crimes were either just completely ignored or abused by their parents. Shows that the parents are the root of it all and how we parent dictates so heavily where our children end up.
Its too much of an American thing to do to blame it all on parenting. I dont want my neglecting berating Parents to take credit of me and my sisters' good caring nature. Also a lot of Asian parents slap their kids to dicipline them, none of them turned Serial Killers. Also if PARENTING is to all there is to blame, wouldnt Orphans or Foster Care kids that went through the toughest childhood fit the code??? Wouldnt all criminals be Orphans in prison. All these violent criminals are mostly middle class PREVILLEGED brats.
@@shabrinaz9877 Nature vs. Nuture is always at play though and just because something affects one child doesn’t mean it won’t affect another. Throughout this video the psychologist stated he was seeking attention and validation. When kids are not paid any attention to and then grow up, they seek these things whether it is good or bad as it allows people to turn to them as they didn’t get attention or validation and it makes them feel whole and worth something. Also there is a different psychological bond with your parent versus someone who raised you like in an orphanage. Your parents in your child like mind are all knowing and can’t do any wrong and for them to ignore a child makes that child feel like they aren’t even worthy of their parents validation and attention. Hence why he sought it out in his adult life.
I was sexually abused by my father starting at 8. I’m 55 and have 5 different mental illnesses to manage. Breast cancer at 40 has taken its toll on my body physically. Shame on him.
Lol no, people raised by narcissistic parents are typically diagnosed with BPD or borderline personality disorder or with more extreme trauma DID the old term multiple personality disorder. Narcissist are usually raised when they are over protected snd given the world by rich parents or middle class parents who never say no to their kids, thats what creates a narcissist not being abused by one. @@Tekbörü
Genetic genealogists would have had him by 2018ish anyway just like the Golden State Killer got caught. Btk would have been top 3 priority along with GSK/ONS
He didn’t decide to give up killing. John Douglas writes in his book, that he(Douglas) discovered that Rader’s wife Paula, on two separate occasions, caught Dennis cross-dressing. And that scared him for a long time, along with an off-handed comment that Paula Rader made, “Oh your handwriting kind of looks like BTK’s.” My own personal opinion is that those things scared him straight for several years, but he was able to sustain his cruelties because he was a city code-compliance officer. A notoriously callous one
His wife also mentioned that Rader's spelling was similar to BTK. I read that when asked if his wife persisted in saying finding parallels to him and BTK what would he do, he said he'd have to kill her. As matter factly as that.
Rader also took photos of his crime scenes and items from his victims he also took pornographic selfies of himself as well as probably collected news paper clippings of his crimes and he stored them in his backyard in a treehouse which was probably vacant at this point and frequently viewed the material and was able to satisfy his murderous urges for a long time until the book article years later was the return to killing trigger for BTK.
The psychologist is wrong about one thing - Rader really didn't want to be caught. He was flabbergasted that the police lied to him about the floppy disk, and really didn't believe he would "lose the game."
I love that it’s his narcissism that ultimately got him caught. It wasn’t his psychopathy or his sadism. It wasn’t even the crimes themselves. He got caught because he needed admiration and attention. He’s truly pathetic
It was Vietnam so it's just a coincidence that he was in the military because most men his age were in the military. & the two that they mentioned that weren't part of Vietnam, Dahmer was forced to join by his father because he flunked out of Ohio State & Mcveugh wasn't a serial killer, he was a mass killer.
Dr Ed Hickey's analysis is quite excellent. Everything he is saying here and also his analysis of Dahmer is quite impressive. It really resonates. I'm very impressed.
Born and raised in Augusta, KS. 15 minutes East of wichita. I still live in the wichita area. BTK is being held in eldorado, ks at a maximum security prison. About 20 minutes north east of Augusta. Two of my buddies worked as guards at the eldorado prison. Dennis is a very weird guy they say. Never gets to interact with people. Just waiting for his death row day.
There are so many similarities between him and Russell Williams. I’m how easily they were both ultimately caught, mainly due to their own stupidity for not hiding the tracts better.
His mother bringing up the fact she’d found semen stains in his underwear, it is odd that she’d even bring it up as nearly all boys his age would be doing it. Could there also be a strong religious element to it as she did tell him it was veering on being an evil act. It was probably something she truly believed and had been instilled in her the same way possibly. It was a very different time and religion played a greater role than it possibly does today.
Always exscuses .years ago when people had 12 kids and had to work hard ,kids did not get much time or attention. They did not turn into killers.Personality disorders .Lack of empathy compassion.turns people into monsters who dont care
When asking me "do monsters exist?" I always answer "No" to my kids, but that's a lie. I do damn well that the answer is "yes". And the scary part is that they look like us and walk among us.
I stand by the idea that some sort of traumatic event is what shapes these people to become what they become. There has to be some mind altering moment in their life that changes how they perceive everything
its a CHOICE. Statistically, about 60% of people who experience Childhood Adverse Experiences do not become abusers or offenders themselves. 40% of those people, decide when the trauma happens, that it's either them or someone else experiencing the trauma, instead of avoiding causing trauma all together - which is what people with empathy do.
@@lucretia_macevil 100% not at all saying it’s not a choice, I just think certain peoples traumatic experience further lead to the decisions they choose to make. Likely as an excuse but I do think that enough mental and physical damage to a person can spark a monster like this. Maybe I’m naive but I fail to believe that people are just born, quote on quote, “monsters.”
Literature says the difference between psychopathy & sociopathy is one of wiring, specifically the serotinergic system. A while ago a bloke in I think IT did a TED talk where he talked about his involvement in the development of some kind of computer program that led him to taking the OHare test himself. Turns out he scored highly meaning he was a psychopath. No trauma in his childhood, in actual fact grew up in a close knit family unit with boundaries set. But he had a reputation as being difficult to work with, manipulative to the max with both co-workers & family. He was quite shocked to find out he met dx criteria for psychopathy. Never committed a crime in his life, not even a traffic ticket issued to him.
In response to what he said about many serial killers being veterans, I had an ex who was a veteran who said that he wanted to kill someone, joked or "joked" that he could be a serial killer, and said something else possibly homicidal. There is a definite pattern of some veterans becoming murderers.
Judge: "You've entered a plea of guilty, is that correct?" Rader: "Yes sir" Judge: [turns to jury] "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...this is what we call a lay-up!"
When he said that military service draws in some people with murderous intentions and they gave examples at 4:55. Only 2 of the examples had combat oriented jobs. The others were repairmen, supply guys and other non combat related jobs. Of those, none of them joined the military with murderous intentions otherwise they would have enlisted for combat jobs lol.
What? What supply guy, repairman, or other non combat related job gets “killing skills”? They go through basic training, some of the were in the airforce and navy (their basic is far from teaching how to kill) and then they spend the majority of their training learning how to do their primary job (repairing things, supplying things etc)
This clown had gotten away with it but needed attention so bad he choose life in jail over ppl not knowing how "special" he was. The whole asking if you can trace a letter thing was bs, he knew better, he wanted the ''credit", had to have it.....
There's something about Rader that I find particularly pathetic and distasteful. He was so arrogant, thought so highly of himself and look at how debased he really is.
Because most of them did. Serial killers tend all have a really messed up upbringing particularly with their mothers that makes them develop some sort of warped view towards intimacy. It’s uncomfortable to think about but it’s true in most cases. I think he’s stretching it a but with rader but there definitely was a connection there.
rader joined the af to avoid getting drafted as people with poor grades in colleges were getting drafted for vietnam at the time. by voluntarily joining the af, he avoided getting sent to combat. i think it’s not relevant in this context to bring up the military as while yes there are many people who join the military for power, rader didn’t join for power, berkowitz was drafted, and dahmer joined as it was the alternative to be disowned by his family, i don’t know about ridgeway. good video, however some parts are under researched and misinformed
I really liked this video but I'm not sure about what the psychologist said about Radar wanting to be caught. He felt deceived by police for lying about untraceable floppy disk. I think he wrote to the Wichita Eagle to let everyone know that he was alive and well because time had passed & the fear had subsided. He sent souvenirs to media outlets because he wanted to terrorize people again. I would imagine he was pissed off about how he got caught, by his own mistake. I don't think he meant for that to happen.
Well... you can't really do an analysis on someone if you don't know who he is. We don't even know his name, so i guess it's even more unlikely to know his intentions or reasoning. But that is only my take. Some speculation doesn't harm anyway.
December 2000. The worst crime I’ve ever heard was committed by the Carr brothers. Known as, The Wichita Massacre. Or Wichita Horror. I only have read the accounts. Once. It is indescribable what they did.
Dennis Rader had a weak personality, he went to college leaning towards law enforcement. He was turned down by Wichita police department and the sheriff’s department probably from the psychological exam. He went after women believing they were weaker, he started going after older women because the younger women would fight back. His letters to the news paper, TV stations, and law enforcement agencies. I believe he did that because he wasn’t getting the attention he believed he deserved after seeing the attention the Zodiac killer and he believed he should have gotten the same amount of attention. Both people got to name themselves. I dealt with him he thought he was smarter than everyone else but he wasn’t that bright. He was physically and mentally weak.
The nature of his mind and his exact thought patterns will always be “unsolved”, thats the exciting part about this, seing an expert analyse and try to “solve” his mind.
@@yamahapepsi yeah, wouldn’t that be more interesting? How about that case in Idaho where those four college kids were murdered, that’s a lot more interesting and useful
A lot of children “kill” animals and still become normal adults. Of course nobody speaks about that. There is even more complexity to this that I think he does not talk about here.
That poor little girl and family :( Im an avid anti gun man but if you live in america where serial killers are so normal compared to the rest of the world, i would always carry, atleast id have a chance if some sicko came after me or my family. Although i do realise these cowards wait until youre defenceless or unaware
I always love hearing how he was caught, the fact that he was offended that he was lied to is so ridiculous it's funny.
can't help but think that by taunting the police and by giving himself a "professional" killer persona (having "Projects" with codenames) he was just trying to come off as smarter than he actually was.

What’s even funnier is when he was being interrogated he said something around the lines of “I can’t believe you guys lied to me” hahaha
Yes I was waiting for that bit also as its just mind blowing that you can be this level of narcissistic. Takes quite some credibility away from this interview that is was not included. In fact it seems they are not aware of well documented facts on his capture.

Def is a whole diff class of psychology like criminal psych 101
Yeah I've watched a few of the videos with this DR and he does a really good job of breaking these people down into something understandable.
I live in KS. The town I grew up in was 40 miles.away, but we about this. It was frightening.
My basketball coach from when I was in HS lived two houses away from him when she was in college in Wichita. She had no idea and couldn’t believe it after.
It was so freaky when he resurfaced. I couldn’t sleep for weeks
That's scary, glad their ok!
What high school? Who was ur coach? I grew up in Kansas. Just curious
WOW!!! I remember him telling a story about how he used to look out his kitchen window often at the lady across the street and one day he said to himself "yeah I'm gonna kill her" that could've EASILY been her

Nature set the table, nurture served the meal.
A therapist once told me "you are your values." If that's true, then Dennis is truly a monster.
Hi Dr. Hickey! I haven't seen you since Fresno State with the McNair program. Please keep the posts coming, they are very interesting.

You can’t leave out Richard Ramirez!!
It’s weird living in Wichita and only living 10 min from where the Ortega family incident happened
So sickening this man is .
Love Dr Hickey
I understood that mothers in most cases r responsible for their sons becoming serial killers.
Great series!
He was a sick man who doesn't deserve sympathy at all. But it's my opinion. It doesn't excuse his behavior or his crimes.
Mark Wahlberg should play BTK killer if they ever make a biopic
Why does the thumbnail look like a before and after picture?
I bet there were a whole bunch of women in his church that always felt uncomfortable around him and felt that something was wrong and inauthentic.
I don't think he conditioned himself into sexual sadism, that condition was already there and he was responding to it.
i love Hickey ☺️
There's something about Rader that I find particularly pathetic and distasteful. He was so arrogant, thought so highly of himself and look at how debased he really is.
This dude has literally said all these guys had it bad for their moms
That's his lazy go to
It’s the sigmund Freud effect
Projection. He has mommy issues himself
Because most of them did. Serial killers tend all have a really messed up upbringing particularly with their mothers that makes them develop some sort of warped view towards intimacy. It’s uncomfortable to think about but it’s true in most cases. I think he’s stretching it a but with rader but there definitely was a connection there.

He sent souvenirs to media outlets because he wanted to terrorize people again. I would imagine he was pissed off about how he got caught, by his own mistake. I don't think he meant for that to happen.
Children don't just grow up to be serial killers out of nowhere. He was probably abused or witnessed abuse on someone else as young child
But what was he so angry about?
His mothers invasiveness
uncle Dennis! Mr. Hickey doesn't know much about Dennis. reminds me i need to write him back.
I see Jigsaw has a sideline in criminal psychology. Versatile!
He got to see his daughter get married graduated and all and finally at the end of her university and she married too he finally got arreste
What about employers who treat employees like radar. Did his victims. They enjoy life while they ruin their employees lives
This guy basically told us nothing but theories that we could of all came up with
But isn’t that what psychology is? Just theories on the human mind?
He is a sick individual.
his mother liked watching TV.
Yup, all makes sense
He looks so ordinary its so freaky

December 2000. The worst crime I’ve ever heard was committed by the Carr brothers. Known as, The Wichita Massacre. Or Wichita Horror. I only have read the accounts. Once. It is indescribable what they did.
Dennis Rader had a weak personality, he went to college leaning towards law enforcement. He was turned down by Wichita police department and the sheriff’s department probably from the psychological exam. He went after women believing they were weaker, he started going after older women because the younger women would fight back. His letters to the news paper, TV stations, and law enforcement agencies. I believe he did that because he wasn’t getting the attention he believed he deserved after seeing the attention the Zodiac killer and he believed he should have gotten the same amount of attention. Both people got to name themselves. I dealt with him he thought he was smarter than everyone else but he wasn’t that bright. He was physically and mentally weak.
if he didnt resurface den dood wouldve done the perfect crime honestly 💀
I’m pretty sure this case is 100% solved… the name of the channel is “unsolved”
The nature of his mind and his exact thought patterns will always be “unsolved”, thats the exciting part about this, seing an expert analyse and try to “solve” his mind.
So you want this dr of criminal psychology to analysis the mind of a killer that has not been caught yet?
@@yamahapepsi yeah, wouldn’t that be more interesting? How about that case in Idaho where those four college kids were murdered, that’s a lot more interesting and useful
It's half solved he hasn't confessed to the Zodiac killings yet
@@adamirishconundrum851 Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer so that’s solved too
he's wrong.... the people he is saying join the military to feel power usually had the most menial of mos's. not like they were in combat duty.
Not us having the same birthday
His mother liked watching TV ho hum why attend to your child when there are so many good things on TV.
A lot of children “kill” animals and still become normal adults. Of course nobody speaks about that. There is even more complexity to this that I think he does not talk about here.
You THINK they're normal. Maybe maybe not.
A vessel used for demons!
Nah. Rader was born a psychopath. He could have had a perfect upbringing and would have turned out just the same way.
Well I’m glad then that I didn’t join the Military..
Btk’s mother was hyper- religious.
Why is this a special on Walter White?
That poor little girl and family :(
Im an avid anti gun man but if you live in america where serial killers are so normal compared to the rest of the world, i would always carry, atleast id have a chance if some sicko came after me or my family. Although i do realise these cowards wait until youre defenceless or unaware
