Dennis Lynn Rader is a serial killer convicted of the murders of ten people in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991. His best-known aliases were BTK Murderer or Magician BTK, letters corresponding to Bind, Torture and Kill.

Shortly after the murders, the BTK Killer wrote some letters to the police and local news agencies, mocking the crimes and giving precise details of each murder. In 2004, after many years of searching, those letters prompted the investigation again, leading to his 2005 arrest and subsequent conviction.
