Wichita cop talks about his conversations with BTK

Former Wichita police officer Randy Stone, famous in BTK history as the cybercop who who made the key move to catch BTK in 2005, now says BTK in the summer of 2004 tricked him into coaching him how not to get caught while sending e-mails. (Sept. 15, 2014)

If you're a police officer and a guy is asking you whether his emails can be traced, wouldn't that set off an alarm bell or two?

[@globe255]

Yes it was, they met him outside a neighbouring office space.....didn't you watch the video?

[@crowtservo]

He was a compliance officer with the city of Park City. This guy probably figured that the guy in a nearby office was working on something or just curious about it.

[@jadaaleeshamindexpert7365]

lol ur funny...

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

That's super messed up that he threatened him with a mouthful of floppy disks. No matter what it would have to be pretty jarring to get threatened by an actual serial killer.

[@lisas8244]

It speaks of Rader's arrogance and sense of superiority to think that he ever would be given the opportunity or be in a position to stuff floppy disks into that policeman's mouth.

[@o.c.2470]

I would tie him up but that may turn him on

[@adamirishconundrum851]

This cop looks like he has Downs syndrome just like the rest of the Wichita police department. Dennis Rader is an idiot he had to turn himself in.

[@joshg2350]

The fact he believed the police when they said the disc couldn’t be tracked is hilarious. I watched a documentary and the detectives said they couldn’t believe he believed them lol.

[@Barbabapan]

And the funny Thing is, in an interview you see him really pissed off and asking why they LIED TO HIM. A real psychopathic. Narcistic, self-centered, total psychopath.

[@Ps3rikbr68]

@@Barbabapan Where can I find this interview?

[@joshwallace2183]

Most normal people don't know cops lie.. he was a psychopath not John Gotti!

[@crowtservo]

Supposedly asked his son in-law too and the son in-law said no.

he was a boomer, not familiar with technology.. and he got too cocky

The Ned Flanders of serial killers

Well that's insulting because Ned had full luscious hair 😔

No way, Flanders had great hair and a six pack.

I too love Ned!

[@themaskedyoutuberli1401]

Wow, this is crazy. His smarts allowed him to escape for all these years but his ignorance got him caught

[@christiankalonda7990]

The Masked KZbinr LI and I'm glad he was arrested, had he Carey on with letters he would've never been caught.

[@danielscarfo3230]

His arrogance got him caught.

[@lisas8244]

It was his huge ego, feelings of superiority and need for attention that got him caught.

[@adamirishconundrum851]

For sure, the keystone kops were never going to catch him.

[@jackucthatjack5896]

Lol I mean isn't that how it works with every criminal? Smarts keep them hidden and ignorance gets them cought?

[@tubian323]

Protip: if you're going to be a serial killer don't email the police.

[@SpitefulAZ]

he never emailed them. he sent a floppy disc.

[@VogtTD]

Actually I think he chose floppies precisely BECAUSE it was old tech. He figured it would be harder to trace. I mean the cop starts the story by explaining how Dennis was thinking about using email at first. I guess it's comforting for the cop to view Dennis as inept.

[@Gre4tOne]

but it doesnt matter at all where this word document was saved - if it was a floppy disc, CD or memory stick - it was the Word ‚header‘

[@bodhi1271]

It wasn't that old at the time, they were still being used, but most people had switched to CD or zip drive by then.

[@suhijo]

Actually BTK indeed used a safe media like the floppy. What he failed was to use an microsoft office with real data like the user name "Dennis" and data from the church, if he had known about that sure he would have not be caught because there is no way of tracking a floppy by itself

[@JamieVegas]

Technically, even if he authored a text file, the floppy could have had unwiped data from previous files that may have revealed some identifying data, and the volume serial number could have potentially linked the disk to the box of disks at the church, if other file data had pointed to the church.

[@Sidiciousify]

@@JamieVegas not if he bought it from a store imbecile.

[@JamieVegas]

@@Sidiciousify Yeah, but I'm saying if he grabbed one sitting around the church that looked otherwise empty.

[@anfo_4241]

Title is a bit misleading

[@MrTheedarkhorse]

Conversation by proxy. Good info tho

[@theivory1]

Aren't they all?

[@jdthebooster]

This guy would probably tear Rader 10 ways from Sunday if he ever came after him.

[@vaux_manvv7520]

Or he could be bound, tortured and killed

[@benharbour7689]

[@adamirishconundrum851]

BTK would have strangled him if he tried anything.

[@tope115]

What a guy that last comment was brilliant ! Thanks for sharing!

[@PureAmbition33]

I was thinking that when he mentioned the threat...imagining that degenerate walking around walmart looking for floppy disks that no longer exist....

[@alejandromavarez164]

PureAmbition33 they do exist jackass, simply google "buy floppy disks" didint take longer than a few seconds.

[@markpayne2217]

Something odd about this story that Rader just believed the police or Rader himself didn’t think or wasn’t sure if metadata on a floppy disk could be traced.

When does BTK appear on this clip?

He ended up the way he was because of what humanity projected onto him. And he learned to find joy in the suffering of others, to compensate for his unhappiness. Either that or he was supremely spoiled as a child, mixed with various personality disorders stemming from an unusual childhood. Same applies to all serial killers/sadists sociopaths

[@reesemorgan2259]

@Brian He has himself said that he was not abused as a child. His upbringing was unremarkable. Despite his absurd belief that the detectives he was communicating with had his best interests at heart - he was not an unintelligent man. He had clearly studied the lives of other serial killers. He would have known that the only possible way he could elicit one iota of public sympathy would be to plead abuse as a child. However, he didn't do that. The notion of "the bad seed" is unfashionable these days, but I have come to suspect that some people are simply born evil. Denis Rader is probably one of those people.

[@kedabro1957]

@@reesemorgan2259 Scientists have discovered that high levels of serotonin during pregnancy produce psychopathic babies. A happy mother in a healthy environment is more likely to give birth to a born killer. Unsafe environments create killers out of normal babies. Evolutionarily this makes sense. A culture of violent people would be very good at spotting a young boy with all the tools to compete with them at their own game. They would eliminate such children as soon as they could. Or at least disenfranchise them from opportunities to advance. But a culture of peaceful people would be less suspicious, and less likely to condemn a child even if they did realize what he was. Perfect environment for a manipulative killer to thrive.

[@jonjones6749]

This is Hogwash! Dennis Rader asked whether a Floppy disc could be traced, not an email. The floppy disc was traced to Dennis Raders church and to someone named Dennis. BTK never emailed anyone.

[@Jay-ze4gz]

[@crowtservo]

I think he asked about the email first and then when that appeared to be a no-go, he switched to the floppy disc which people told him couldn’t be traced....
