Personal Life

She lived a peaceful life with her husband and children and had no idea that the love of her life secretly killed people. After over three decades of marriage, she found out that he was a serial killer who had killed more than ten people before he was arrested in 2005. She immediately filed for an emergency divorce, which the authorities granted her the same day. She didn’t appear at any of his hearings, and has never visited him in jail, but withdrew from the undesired spotlight, and is living a very private life. She has never spoken publicly about her husband’s crimes, while their daughter Kerri has spoken about it, and how it affected her life, even publishing the 2019 book “A Serial Killer’s Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love And Overcoming”.

From a young age, he had sadistic sexual fantasies about torturing women, and exhibited zoosadism by torturing and killing small animals. He would also wear women’s clothes, however, he kept all of these activities well hidden.

Two years later, he started working as a dogcatcher and compliance officer, but conversely was also an active member of Christ Lutheran Church, as an elected president of the council, and was a Cub Scout leader too.
Terrible Murders
Dennis Rader killed ten people in Wichita and Park City from 1974 to 1991, and sent letters to police and newspapers in which he described the details of his crimes. His first victims were four members of the Otero family, parents Joseph and Julie, and their two children Joseph Jr. and Josephine, murdered in 1974 and their bodies were discovered by their three other children who were at school at the time of the killings. He then wrote a letter about it, hidden in an engineering book in the Wichita Public Library.
During the same year, he murdered a woman named Kathryn Bright, followed by the murders of two more women, Shirley Vian Relford and Nancy Fox, both in 1977, and sent a letter to the Wichita-based TV station KAKE demanding media attention.
Dennis didn’t kill until 1985, this time Marine Hedge, and taking her body to church where he photographed it in different positions. The following year he killed another woman named Vicki Lynn Wegerle, and his final victim was Dolores E. Davis in 1991.
