• EP 86: "Terror in Wichita" — The Story of 'Bind-Torture-Kill' Killer Dennis Rader (Part II)

  Episode SummaryThe nightmare continues. In Part II of our BTK series, Gen and Kait pick up where they left off — with Wichita police frantically investigating the Otero family murders and Dennis Rader settling disturbingly well into a normal suburban life. While detectives pursued leads from Panama to coworkers at the Colman factory, the real killer was quietly installing home security systems across the city... many of which were purchased in fear of his own crimes.This episode covers the chilling lead-up to Dennis Rader’s next brutal attack — the calculated and tragic assault on 21-year-old Kathy Bright and her younger brother Kevin. From Rader’s internal monologue and disturbing writings to Kevin’s harrowing survival and eyewitness account, Episode 86 dives deeper into the psychology of a killer who saw himself not as a man, but as a project planner with victims as his assignments.Through firsthand survivor reports, deep research, and unfiltered reactions, Gen and Kait take listeners step by step through the day Dennis returned to 13th Street... and how Kevin’s resilience helped shape one of the earliest composites of BTK.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, home invasion, and crimes against women. Listener discretion is advised."That's Genevieve." "And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.

• EP 85: "Terror in Wichita" — The Story of 'Bind-Torture-Kill' Killer Dennis Rader (Part I)

  EP 85: "Terror in Wichita" — The Story of 'Bind-Torture-Kill' Killer Dennis Rader (Part I)Episode SummaryIn this gripping two-part series, we pull back the curtain on the chilling dual life of Dennis Rader — known to the world as the BTK Killer. From his disturbingly ordinary upbringing to the cold, calculated murders that paralyzed Wichita for decades, Episode 85 of Camping Is Canceled is a deep dive into the mind of a man who lived two lives: family man by day, monster by night.The episode opens with a firsthand account from Kerri Rawson — Dennis Rader’s daughter — who recounts the moment she discovered her father was the notorious serial killer who’d haunted her hometown and her nightmares. We then take listeners through the tragic, horrifying events of January 15, 1974, when the Otero family was brutally murdered in their own home. As we peel back each layer of Rader’s early years and mounting psychological obsessions, it becomes clear how someone so outwardly ordinary could orchestrate acts of pure evil.Listeners will also hear the story of Kathy and Kevin Bright — a second attack just months later that nearly claimed two more lives — and how the psychological profile of BTK began to take shape in law enforcement circles.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children.
