'BTK' killer 'likes the attention' resulting from Idaho killings, daughter says | Banfield

[@mamapoch1915]

My heart goes out to this young lady. It’s bad enough knowing your father is a monster but I think it’s even worse when you grow up being close to him and think he’s this awesome person. To find out that it was all a lie. She’s truly a strong person.

[@terryellis7692]

My dad isn't a killer but he's still a sociopath none the less and it sucks to think they are good but they are inherently evil.... even if they don't take lives. They will murder your soul without a blink of an eye.

[@urvashipatel5214]

So true u think that this person my father can do no wrong... he is perfect..n then to find out u were wrong all the time.. in my case my father was soooo wrong n i thought my mom was then meanest human being on earth till she commintyed suicide n i had to live with my dad ..thats when the real man that he was was seen

This poor woman! Her mental strength is incredible. The tragedies that man perpetrated are immeasurable when you consider that victims, like Kerri, are given life sentences too and the fact that the system allows the torment to continue under the banner of his rights, is just grotesque. I will never be able to reconcile that organisms like him have any rights or privileges whatsoever.

[@mjremy2605]

I feel so bad for Kerri that she lost the father she loved. How sad to know that everything you believed and loved about your dad was a lie. Even worse to know that he is cyberstalking her, and that his 'spies' report back to him. Her entire book of childhood memories burned in the 'fire' of that lie. I admire her strength and resilience, and the fact she is married and has a family and moved on. Very well done, Kerri! I wondered if you still visited your father in jail, and you answered my question. It is unchartered waters to be in your shoes. Your path forward is a model for children of other prisoners. Well done, Kerri. You are an inspiration. As for BTK, when you look past his crimes, and just see the man, and how manipulative and deceitful he is even today, its like looking at a twisted soul that never straightened up. As for Kohberger, his crimes earned him the company of other twisted souls and uneducated company. He lost the company of erudite professors, intellectual equals, and intelligent, emotionally stable colleagues. Now he has inmates for company, other liars, manipulators, killers, and semi-literates. What a way to waste your life.

[@automnejoy5308]

Kohberger will most likely be put in isolation like BTK, so he won't even have the company of fellow degenerates. He will just have very limited communication with guards, and of course "fan mail" correspondence with sick people. Big difference between him and BTK is that BTK was only caught and imprisoned later in life (60 years old), so he pretty much got to live a full life. Kohberger is only 28. What a waste indeed. But he obviously was never going to make it in the civilized world. He is where he is meant to be.

I live in Wichita, Kansas and we were terrified of BTK. We were terrified when he first started killing then he disappeared. Everyone thought he was dead, moved away, or in prison. 20 year anniversary he reappears because a book was written about him. BTK started taunting the police and it got really frightening when he communicated to police he had chosen another victim.

Who were the suspects in the I-70 killings? BTK was done in 1991 and the I-70 killer was active for 2-3 months in spring of 1992.

They care only about themselves and their narcissistic agenda. God bless this woman.

He has a daughter??! Edit: Spoke too soon. I thought kohlberger has a daughter. Actually, though, I didn't know btk has a daughter either. It's scary to think how these killers' minds work, what their psychology is like. How a serial killer has the ability to raise a child to be a good person, and yet be so evil themselves. It's just so disturbing to me. I was raised by a pathological liar who has OCD and Narcissistic disorder. She is so cold-hearted it still astonishes me, but the masking she does disturbs me the most. How many are out there who are like this and we don't know. We don't know who they are and what they're capable of.

[@angelawatson1594]

Well, if Bryan K did take inspiration from BTK, it's either an example of how bad Bryan K is or an example of improved law enforcement - they caught this novice Bryan quickly whereas BTK kept going for years 😳

[@automnejoy5308]

It's some of both. Mostly it's because Bryan K is far too unstable and lacking in social skills and restraint. You can clearly see his instability both in how the crime was committed but also in his behavior before and after... and throughout much of his life tbh. It was evident to many people that he was "off." To be a serial killer for as long as Rader was, you have to be able to sustain alter egos that convince everyone that you're a decent, normal person. A model citizen. A family man. President of the church congregation. Kohberger tried to "blend in" with mixed results, but he definitely didn't have it in him long-term. Rader was only caught because he kept taunting the police. His insatiable desire for attention did him in.

[@kirstenviers7928]

Ms. Rawson does show her strength, and I am thankful, because I'm going to participate by giving you some feedback on what I hear all of you saying and where we may differ. First, the love letters actually are a bigger deal than should be cast aside for the immediate disgust of how someone could love a murderer. For one, this nation spends more on military murder than any other country which is insight to the opposing force American's like to ride, which is what I call the Underdog Syndrome. Both men are good looking, or were, depending on your truth; and, I contest that the reason they kill, if one did, was to not only protect themselves but the women they love or may want to love. We are all programmed to protect our DNA, and the ratinalizations will never be overcome through prison carrots and sticks but rather delayed or honed, in my opinion. Therefore, I think better time is spent on the social sciences that except the hard truth, that problem solving is what makes for life. Some people will just be more successful than others. Hebrews 11. Second, how her father likes to hear about this case with Mr. Koehberger. I will continue to hold to the view that he murdered to "set people straight," like the paid staff in the homeless community lie to "defend their chronic homeless and the drug dealers who supply them when it is imprudent of them to condone it themselves," because they've retirement plans to ensure they get what they need when the government fails to provide. Molesters and rapists have been in control of our country through the use of gender instead of sex, the operative word in the difference of their definitions being that of culture. Said again, gender is a culture of molesters and rapists and it will not be accepted by people like me, and perhaps these two men. So, when a person gets overwhelmed they resort to what's kept them alive for years; and men, have been defending their territory for centuries through war, and rape. Me, personally, get to swimming, documenting, and escalating but, when it is denied as my local police department has done to me, then you've removed a non-physically violent arrow from my repetoire and so a spanking must ensue. I put the investigations I would also report to them, besides the FTC or FBI, on the healthcare professionals trying to permanently handicap me for an SSDI check, as an example, on my resume. I had a grievances requesting removal of their licenses and for them to pay back Medicaid for fraudulently filed encounters and refusal to listne. Depending on the amount of disclosures made to me on job requisitons, results how this time I've spent unemployed is disclosed to cover my employment gaps. For over a year, more than 100 employers likely (guestimating), my resume shows a commtiment of time to DORA (Department of Regulatory Agencies) to remove their licensure, and you shouldn't feel sorry fot them because my father and step-mother got their own credit on my resume as I've disclosed their wrongs with me to the Air Force OIG and DORA, my step-mother an RN who got caught drinking on the job and was not obeying her rules of engagment to stay employed, even after my daughter was born, some 3 years later. A nice spanking I believe, considering what I've thought about since the chartities around here keep removing what little benefits they offer because their mission to reunite family and make me a drug addict are more important to the national cause. They have successfully cut off my food stamps in the last month, unless you want to blame the Mexicans again, and yesterday these do gooders almost denied me access to their food pantry, because I was 10 minutes to 40 minutes too early to use it; this while the newsletter says it is availabe from 8 to 5 and from 1:30 to 3:00. So many ways we could argue the point, but my point on this story is about the nation allowing creativity at the risk of violence. If the people are good, they will see a non-violent solution before all else, but if left with no other alternative, then they will kill to get what they need. I do not consider LGBTQ suicide to be a glamorous, healthy, or forgiven alternative, and the Bible does back me up. This is why the homeless argument and the black "projects" argument are so important to me, because while gender culture has condoned adultery for a diamond ring on a white woman, it has created tyranny and murder in our impoverished communities.
