Title: Serial Killers: Green River Killer and BTK 4/4 View count: 363 Rating: 5.0 (3 ratings) Description: America's Serial Killers: Portraits in Evil (2009) Serial Killers: Portraits in Evil will strip the covers from a world of profiling, forensic science and painful investigation as history's most brutal serial killers are exposed. Dennis Lynn Rader (born March 9, 1945) is an American serial killer who murdered 10 people in Sedgwick County (in and around Wichita, Kansas), between 1974 and 1991. He was known as the BTK killer (or the BTK strangler), which stands for "bind, torture and kill" and describes his modus operandi. He sent boastful letters describing the details of the killings to police and to local news outlets during the period of time in which the murders took place. After a long hiatus in the 1990s, he resumed sending letters in 2004, leading to his 2005 arrest and subsequent conviction. Gary Leon Ridgway (born February 18, 1949), known as the "Green River Killer", is an American serial killer. Ridgway murdered numerous women in Washington during the 1980s and 1990s. He strangled them, mostly with his arm, but he would also use ligatures. After strangling the women, he would dump their bodies throughout King County. He also engaged in forms of necrophilia. On November 30, 2001, as he was leaving a Renton, Washington factory where he worked, he was arrested for the murders of four women whose cases were linked to him through DNA evidence. In November 2003 he pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated murder, although he may have killed more, almost all prostitutes. The murders first began in the early 1980s. As part of a plea bargain, he was spared the death penalty and received a sentence of life imprisonment without parole Tags: serial, killer, mass, murder, btk, green, river, gary, ridgeway, dennis, rader, kill, dead, death, psychopath, sociopath, hannibal, lecter, insanity, evil, bad, bind, torture, strangulation, victim, rape, Author: ololtehnice |
