Where Is Dennis Rader Now? All About the Subject of Netflix's 'My Father, the BTK Killer'
The documentary highlights the trauma faced by BTK killer Dennis Rader's family and community, with 10 victims killed over a 31-year span, officials said.
- On October 11, 2025, Netflix released My Father, the BTK Killer, directed by Skye Borgman, which reframes the story through Kerri Rawson's perspective focusing on victims and family.
- Dennis Rader had gone undetected for 31 years before his Feb. 25, 2005 arrest for murdering 10 people in Wichita, Kansas between 1974 and 1991.
- Kerri Rawson, author and victims' advocate, wrote A Serial Killer's Daughter, sustained PTSD, sought grief counselling, and assisted cold-case investigators before stepping back from sharing information.
- Declaring it a closing chapter, Kerri Rawson says the documentary will likely be her final public address of her father's crimes and centers victims' families and the terrorized community.
- In January 2023, the Osage County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into Rader's drawings, and a May 2024 puzzle discovery linked him to Cynthia Dawn Kinney's 1976 disappearance.
