Who Is Dennis Rader? Dennis Rader is an American serial killer who terrorized the Wichita, Kansas, area from 1974 to 1991 and became known as the BTK Killer. Living a double life as a devoted family and company man by day, Rader brutally murdered 10 people. His nickname represents his method of binding, torturing, and killing victims. He also taunted authorities through brazen correspondence with local news outlets. Rader’s alter ego resurfaced in 2004, and his penchant for leaving clues led to his arrest. He pleaded guilty to the murders the following year and is now serving 10 life sentences in prison. First Victims On January 15, 1974, Rader strangled four members of the Otero family—Joseph and Julie, along with two of their children Josephine and Joseph Jr.—to death in their Wichita home, before leaving with a watch and a radio. Strangulation and souvenir-taking would become part of Rader’s pattern of criminal behavior. He also left semen at the scene and later said that he derived sexual pleasure from killing. The Oteros’ 15-year-old son, Charlie, came home later that day and discovered the bodies. Rader struck again a few months later. On April 4, he waited in the apartment of a young woman named Kathryn Bright, before stabbing and strangling her when she returned home. Rader also twice shot her brother, Kevin, though he survived. Kevin later described Rader as an “average-sized guy, bushy mustache, ‘psychotic’ eyes,” according to a TIME magazine article. Return, Arrest, and Imprisonment Over the next several years, BTK dropped off the map as Rader focused on work and family life. He had left ADT in the late 1980s and started working for the Wichita suburb of Park City as a compliance supervisor in 1991. In his new position, Rader was known to be a stickler for the rules. He measured the height of people’s lawns and chased stray animals while toting a tranquilizer gun. According to reports, Rader took pleasure in exerting his limited authority over his neighbors and other members of the community. He was also a Boy Scout troop leader and president of his church council. With many news stories marking the 30th anniversary of the Otero murders, BTK resurfaced in 2004. Rader sent local media outlets and authorities several letters filled with items related to his crimes, including pictures, a word puzzle, and an outline for the “BTK Story.” He also left packages with clues, including a computer disk that ultimately led authorities to Rader’s church. Investigators also noticed his Jeep on security tapes of some of the package drop-off areas and cemented their case by obtaining a DNA sample from Rader’s daughter. Getty Images BTK Killer Dennis Rader in court in August 2005 Rader was arrested on February 25, 2005, and later charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder. His neighbors and fellow church members were stunned by the news, unable to believe that the man they knew was the serial killer that had haunted the area for so long.

I have concluded that organized religion is absolutely silly. How can I prevent myself from viewing the practitioners as equally silly? SHORT ANSWER: You Can't. These people are like piria that devour the airwaves, so do yourselves a collective favor and DON'T WATCH THEM and stay away from their "Camp Meetings". You will only hurt yourself exponentially in the longterm.

HUGE WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW STAR RETURNING FROM INJURY SOON, PER REPORT In a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer, it's mentioned that someone close to Vince McMahon says that while the former WWE boss is open to exploring other business ventures he doesn't plan on starting his own wrestling company. Rumors had surfaced that many within the wrestling business felt there was a good chance McMahon would start a new promotion, but it appears this latest report puts that chatter to rest. McMahon's name has been scrubbed from WWE programming and products amid the Janel Grant lawsuit. WWE 2K24 developers reportedly had to scramble in order to get McMahon and Brock Lesnar removed from the game before release. While there wasn't enough time to have their assets completely removed, McMahon and Lesnar are not selectable characters in the game. Lesnar allegedly requested explicit photos and video of Grant from McMahon. It's also alleged that Lesnar had set up a "play date" with Grant before inclement weather changed plans.

Attorney: John Laurinaitis is a victim Despite being named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit, an attorney for John Laurinaitis told VICE his client is a victim in the situation, and appeared to corroborate the claims made against McMahon. “Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in court, not the media," lawyer Edward Brennan told the outet. "Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out. "Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them."

THE LAST ESCAPE OF JOHN & CLARENCE, THE ANGLIN BROTHERS & FRANK MORRIS Its a story of greed, sex, lust, gangsters, strippers and a group of prisoners who were tired of being prisoners. Escaping from THE ROCK as it was called was no small feat. But Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin were no ordinary prisoners. They were cunning, smart and determined to beat the Rock known as Alcatraz the Inescapable. And so they did and the rest as they say is History. Or is it? I've said on this show many times, real life is far stranger than anything any writer could ever make up. ALCATRAZ: THE LAST ESCAPE by Ken Widner and Mike Lynch tell the story you DIDN'T know about the men who made the history books. Fred Brizzi - Michael Dyke, the last Deputy Marshal assigned to the case, said Brizzi was "a drug smuggler and a con man," and was suspicious of his account of the Anglin Bros. Brizzi's widow said that she never heard him mention seeing the Anglin brothers in Rio, and that he was “a con man” who was prone to making up stories. MARIANNA REFORM SCHOOL In recent years, searches using ground-penetrating radar have discovered dozens of unmarked graves on school grounds. By late 2014, researchers have recovered the remains of fifty-five African-American boys. For decades the school remained segregated; blacks were not buried with whites. Thirty-one other boys are buried in a small cemetery, the only marked graves on the property. Most suspect many more graves are waiting to be found on the campus. “Baby, money isn’t always the solution.

RITA GIGANTE - HEALER PSYCHIC & MEDIUM DAUGHTER OF NEW YORK MAFIA BOSS VINCENT "THE CHIN" GIGANTE RITA GIGANTE LIFE WITH THE "CHIN" Rita is an acclaimed author, healer, and psychic, who connects with her “Spirit Crew” on a journey to the answers that you have been waiting for. This show is filled with love, laughter, and a provocative tell-all about how to live your life authentically and abundantly. Plus a cameo appearance, channeled by Rita, of Vincent and Olympia Gigante! ABOUT THE "CHIN" For nearly 30 years, reputed Genovese Family crime boss Vincent Gigante pretended to be mentally ill to avoid prison. And it almost worked. An old man wandering around in his pajamas, a bathrobe, and a ratty pair of house slippers muttering nonsense to nobody in particular is a fairly typical sight in New York City, but Vincent Gigante was anything but typical. Partly because he wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in an elaborate performance of insanity, Mafia boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante eluded prosecution for decades as a supposedly unstable and incompetent man. From Wikipedia Vincent Louis Gigante - March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "The Chin", was an American mobster who was boss of the Genovese crime family in New York City from 1981 to 2005. Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought in 25 matches between 1944 and 1947. He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family, forerunner of the Genovese family. Gigante was one of five brothers. Three of them, Mario, Pasquale, and Ralph, followed him into the Mafia. Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a Catholic priest.[1] Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957. In 1959, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug trafficking, and after sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, Gigante became a caporegime overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates based in Greenwich Village. Gigante quickly rose to power during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1981 he became the family's boss, while Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno served as front boss during the first half of the 1980s. He also ordered the failed murder attempt of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti in 1986. With the arrest and conviction of Gotti and various Gambino family members in 1992, Gigante was recognized as the most powerful crime boss in the United States. For about 30 years, Gigante feigned insanity in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the media, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself. He was indicted on federal racketeering charges in 1990, but was determined to be mentally unfit to stand trial. In 1997, he was tried and convicted of racketeering and conspiracy, and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Facing obstruction of justice charges in 2003, he pleaded guilty and admitted that his supposed insanity was an elaborate effort to avoid prosecution, as he was sentenced to an additional three years in prison. He died in the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners on December 19, 2005.

The Yorkshire Ripper Sutcliffe’s plea of diminished responsibility, which could have resulted in a lighter sentence, wasn’t successful. On May 22, 1981, he was found guilty of 13 murders and seven counts of attempted murder. The judge sentenced him to 20 life terms and recommended a minimum sentence of 30 years. The death penalty wasn’t an option, having been abolished in 1965. After he was captured and behind bars, Sutcliffe began using his mother’s maiden name and going by Peter William Coonan. In 1984, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia saw Sutcliffe removed from prison and sent to Broadmoor Hospital, a secure psychiatric facility. While in custody Sutcliffe applied for the right to parole, but a 2010 ruling said that he would never be released from prison. He was declared mentally able to leave the secure hospital and sent to a maximum-security prison in 2016. Sutcliffe experienced numerous assaults while in custody. In 1997, an inmate stabbed Sutcliffe’s eyes with a pen, and he subsequently lost vision in his left eye. Wife Sutcliffe met Sonia Szurma, whose parents were refugees from Poland and Ukraine, in 1966. The two married on August 10, 1974. They had no children. Sonia offered her support during Sutcliffe’s 1981 trial and initially visited him while he was in custody. They divorced in 1994. Her visits reportedly stopped after she got married again in 1997. Despite their divorce, Sutcliffe named Sonia as his next of kin. Sonia no longer lives in the house she and Sutcliffe moved into in 1977. Although she reportedly received permission to sell the home in December 2021, there is no public record of her actually doing so. Death Sutcliffe died at age 74 on November 13, 2020, at the University Hospital of North Durham in England. The hospital was near the prison where he’d been serving his sentence. At the end of October, Sutcliffe had been treated for a suspected heart attack at the hospital. Following his hospital stay, he reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 but refused treatment. His ex-wife Sonia is believed to have planned his funeral. The Long Shadow and Other Media In December 2020, Netflix debuted a four-part docuseries simply titled The Ripper about Sutcliffe’s crime spree. It featured interviews with witnesses and investigators. Sutcliffe’s crimes and capture are the subject of the seven-part ITV miniseries The Long Shadow, which debuted in September 2023. Writer George Kay based the dramatized series on the 2003 book Wicked Beyond Belief: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper by Michael Bilton, as well as real case files, interview transcripts, and police reports. Originally called The Yorkshire Ripper, the series underwent a name change because Kay felt the moniker was “disrespectful” to Sutcliffe’s victims and survivors who he felt were at the heart of the series. “The victims’ families certainly don’t want that name being applied to Peter Sutcliffe because it creates a dark brand around a man who doesn’t deserve that sort of attention,” he said.

Who Was John Wayne Gacy? John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer and rapist who murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men in Cook County, Illinois, burying most under his house. Sometimes known as the “Killer Clown” for his habit of dressing in a clown costume and makeup, Gacy had an abusive childhood and struggled with his homosexuality. Gacy committed all the murders in his Norwood Park home, luring his victims there with the promise of construction work or some other ruse, then sexually assaulting and torturing them before killing them, usually by strangulation. Gacy was arrested in 1979, and the following year, he was convicted of 33 murders. Gacy was executed in 1994. In 1971, Gacy started a construction business called PDM Contractors, which grew rapidly and became financially successful. Also that year, Gacy also became engaged to Carole Hoff, who he briefly dated in high school. The two were married in 1972. Most of his employees at PDM Contractors were high school students and young men, who he would proposition for sex, sometimes under the threat of violence. Nevertheless, Gacy kept up a public front as a community man, hosting summer parties that were popular and well-attended, according to Buried Dreams. John Wayne Gacy’s Victims Gacy committed his first known murder in January 1972, after luring the 16-year-old Timothy McCoy to his house for sex. The next morning, Gacy saw McCoy standing in the bedroom doorway with a knife and rushed to attack him, wrestling the knife away and stabbing McCoy to death. Afterward, Gacy belatedly realized that McCoy hadn’t been attacking or threatening Gacy but rather was holding the knife because he had just made them breakfast. Nevertheless, Gacy discovered he received sexual gratification from killing McCoy, and later said, “That’s when I realized that death was the ultimate thrill,” according to Buried Dreams.

Who Is the Zodiac Killer? The self-proclaimed Zodiac Killer is directly linked to at least five murders in Northern California in 1968 and 1969, with two other victims surviving despite serious injuries. However, he might have been responsible for more killings. He taunted police and made threats through letters sent to area newspapers from 1969 to 1974, before abruptly ceasing communication. Through that correspondence, he claimed to have killed as many as 37 people. Despite intensive investigations—and multiple theories pertaining to the killer’s identity—no one was ever caught for the crimes, and the case remains open. The mystery surrounding the murders has been the subject of numerous books and movies, including director David Fincher’s acclaimed 2007 movie Zodiac. Zodiac Killer Letters, Symbol, and Cipher On August 1, 1969, the San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle, and Vallejo Times-Herald each received an identical handwritten letter in an envelope without a return address. Beginning, “Dear Editor: I am the killer of the 2 teenagers last Christmas at Lake Herman,” the letters contained details from the Zodiac Killer’s murders that only the perpetrator could have known. The killer went on to threaten further attacks if the letters weren’t printed on the front page of the papers.

BILLY JACK HAYNES TALKING POINTS WWE Wrestler Billy Jack Haynes has been charged with murder, according to police in Portland, Oregon. The Portland Police Bureau said in a news release that Haynes, 70, has been booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges for murder in the second degree and unlawful use of a weapon after his wife Janette Becraft, 85, was found dead in their home. On Feb. 8, the Portland Police Bureau said officers responded to a report of a shooting inside a home in the Lents neighborhood of Portland, and identified Becraft as the victim. Police say Haynes was at the home and did not cooperate with responding officers when they arrived on the scene. Officers said they believed that he had been armed with a gun at the time, prompting the police to set up a perimeter around the home and issue a shelter in place order to nearby residents.

WrestleMania 40 is in the books, with the biggest show in professional wrestling having taken place on Saturday and Sunday in Philadelphia. Night two‘s main event saw Cody Rhodes take the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns, after Seth Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Title to Drew McIntyre – only for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and steal the belt from the Scot. • Re-live all the action from WrestleMania 40! Later in the night, Logan Paul was in action, before WWE icons John Cena and The Undertaker made surprise appearances in the main event. On night one at Lincoln Financial Field, the matches included The Rock and Reigns vs Rhodes and Rollins, Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship, and Gunther defending his Intercontinental Title against Sami Zayn. Below are all the results from WrestleMania 40: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night One Rhea Ripley (C) def. Becky Lynch via pinfall - WWE Women’s World Championship A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) and The Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) def. The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and Damian Priest) [C], #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa), The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), and New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate) – Undisputed WWE Tag-Team Championship ladder match [A-Town Down Under win Smackdown titles; The Awesome Truth win Raw titles] Rey Mysterio and Andrade def.

Randy Orton and Kevin Owens via pinfall - United States Championship Bayley def. Iyo Sky (C) via pinfall - WWE Women’s Championship Cody Rhodes def. Roman Reigns (C) via pinfall - WWE Undisputed Universal Championship --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RAW After Mania What Did The Rock Give Cody Rhodes? The biggest takeaway from the segment, however, was Rock awkwardly handing Rhodes something when he shook his hand. Rock informed the new Undisputed Champion that he wouldn't even need to look in his hand to know what it was, but the item was hidden from the fans and cameras. One fan theory posted on Reddit may well be onto something though. The post, which you can check out in full below, suggests the gift Rock covertly handed Rhodes was a bead from Roman Reigns' Ula Fala necklace, and they have four reasons why they think that's what it was. First, the reason Rock mentioned knowing what it is without looking is because of its unique shape. Second, Rock told Rhodes not to break his heart again, implying that whatever it is in their hands, it hurt Rock to hand it over. A Bead From Roman's Necklace The third point might be the most significant of all. That since Rhodes beat Reigns, he is technically The Tribal Chief now, at least in The Rock's eyes, and the bead signifies that. The final point was the mood surrounding the segment. A far more somber, level-headed Rock, giving Rhodes something that shows his respect, and admitting he underestimated him. That mood goes against an alternative theory that the gift was a lighter, given by The Rock...

How a Calm Night on a Baltimore Bridge Turned Deadly BALTIMORE – A cargo ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, destroying the span in a matter of seconds and plunging it into the river in a terrifying collapse that could disrupt a vital shipping port for months. Six people were missing and presumed dead, and the search for them was suspended until Wednesday morning. The ship’s crew issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said. As the vessel neared the bridge, puffs of black smoke could be seen as the lights flickered on and off. It struck one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to collapse like a toy, and a section of the span came to rest on the bow. With the ship barreling toward the bridge at “a very, very rapid speed,” authorities had just enough time to stop cars from coming over the bridge, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said. “These people are heroes,” Moore said. “They saved lives last night.” In the evening, Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent for Maryland State Police, announced that the search and rescue mission was transitioning to one of search and recovery. He also said the search was being put on pause and divers would return to the site at 6 a.m. Wednesday, when challenging overnight conditions were expected to improve. No bodies have been recovered, Butler said. The crash happened in the middle of the night, long before the busy morning commute on the bridge that stretches 1.6 miles (2.6 kilometers) and was used by 12 million vehicles last year. The six missing people were part of a construction crew filling potholes on the bridge, said Paul Wiedefeld, the state's transportation secretary. Guatemala’s consulate in Maryland said in a statement that two of the missing were citizens of the Central American nation. It did not provide their names but said consular officials were in contact with authorities and assisting the families.

KENNY PRESLEY IN CONCERT IS "KENNY PRESLEY" THE SON OF ELVIS PRESLEY? Here's The Story As you might have guessed from his last name, Kenny Presley, 52, claims he is the son of none other than the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Now Kenny impersonates the King at musical performances called The Elvis Experience -- complete with sideburns, jumpsuits and all. "How many people believe this about Elvis, and how many people blow me off like I'm some kind of nut?" said Kenny in an interview with The Gleaner. "That bothers me. (Elvis) being my father causes me to have mixed emotions." Despite never meeting his biological father, Kenny says he was raised by a man who was a father figure to him. "I've known I was Elvis' son since I was 6 or 7 years old," said Presley. His mom "had a friend that used to come over at night and they used to sit and talk. I would hear them talk about Elvis, and her friend would say I really look like Elvis. Being that young I didn't really comprehend what she was saying. Then when I was 11, I heard her and my father arguing. My mother said she was going to take me and leave my father, and he replied, 'Take him. He belongs to Elvis. He doesn't belong to me.' " According to Kenny, his mother, Barbara Rushing, met Elvis Presley in 1962 when she visited Graceland in Memphis. She was 17. After that meeting, Elvis gave her his personal phone number, and she and Elvis went on dates to Liberty Land and drive-in movie theaters. Raised by strict Christian parents, Rushing kept their relationship a secret. Then in 1964, Kenny was born in Gleason, Tenn. In February of 1977, Kenny remembers a phone call with a man who knew Kenny's name and asked for his mother. Later his mother told him that Elvis had been on the other end of that phone call. At an early age, Presley developed a love for music, especially Peter Frampton and Conway Twitty. At 11 years old, Presley performed at a Walmart opening and started a band playing Elvis songs. Then he traveled for his music and has played with almost every member of Elvis band. The first person Kenny told about his Elvis parentage was a school friend who didn't believe him. People often bullied Kenny about his parentage while he was growing up. "It made me mad up to high heaven and hurt my feelings by the same token," he said. "Growing up, I didn't tell nobody else. I let the story die down. The only time we talked about it was among family, and it was rarely talked about even then." In 1992, Kenny and his mother hired a lawyer to prove that his father was Elvis with a paternity test. At one point, Presley received a threat on his life and said he had to hide in a log cabin in Missouri for a few weeks. "Our lawyer finally said he gave up," said Kenny. "This is leading nowhere and costing a small fortune. They have more money than we can find, so that went nowhere. I never wanted any money from the estate. All I want to do is entertain and make people happy." Kenny also knew Elvis' cook Mary Jenkins. He said she remembered when Barbara visited Graceland, and that Jenkins nicknamed her "Bobbysocks." Jenkins even made a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich for Kenny, just like Elvis used to eat. When she died in the early 2000s, Kenny sang at her funeral. Kenny Presley will be performing at Henderson's Preston Arts Center on May 13 at 7 p.m. The first part of the show has a Broadway and Vegas theme with a jailhouse rock performance. Then the second half features Elvis hits from the 1970s in more of a concert style. A member of Elvis' old entourage, Cricket Coulter, will be at the performance as well. She met Elvis during the early 1960s. She worked for him and became friends with Elvis. During her years spent with Elvis, he gave her different gifts that she has kept. She went as far as to collect Elvis's hair when he had his hair cut. At the performance, she will be selling locks of his hair, along with other pieces of Elvis memorabilia she received from him....
