In October of 1974 Rader placed a letter in a public library book where he took responsibility for the Otero family. In this letter Rader wrote that “it’s hard to control myself. You probably call me ‘Psychotic with asexual perversion hang-up’.” Then he went into details as to his urge to kill as a monster inside him. Lastly, he requested to be called the BTK Strangler. …show more content…

Throughout many correspondences with police Dennis Rader asked if it was at all possible for them to track his information on a floppy disk. The police department told Rader that it was impossible when in fact it was possible. Some of the things they found on the USB that helped the police department included a link to a local Lutheran Church, and metadata from a Microsoft Word document. In the metadata they were able to determine that the document was created by someone named
Richard Leonard Kuklinski, known as “The Iceman” was born April 11, 1935. Kuklinski was a contract killer who was convicted of 5 murders. Kuklinski was given the nickname “Iceman” for freezing a body of a victim to mask the time when the victim was murdered. Kuklinski lived with his wife Barbara Kuklinski and 3 children in the suburb of Dumont, New Jersey. Prior to his arrest, his family was apparently unaware of Kuklinski's double life and crimes. Kuklinski was a contract killer for Newark's DeCavalcante crime family and New York City's Five Families of the American Mafia. Kuklinski favored to murder people with sodium cyanide since it killed very quickly and also was hard to detect. With Cyanide, Kuklinski would simply kill the victim by either injecting the cyanide in them, putting it in the victim’s food, aerosol spray or spilling it on the victim’s skin. After killing his victim, he will dispose the body in a 55-gallon oil drum. Other ways Kuklinski would dispose the body were either burying the body or putting the body in the trunk of a car then having it crushed in the junkyard. Kuklinski says that Robert Pronge, nicknamed “Mr. Softee” has taught him different methods to use cyanide to kill his victims. Pronge allegedly asked him to carry out a hit on Pronge's
According to the FBI 11.5% of murderer by relationship to victim is a stranger, but that is not the case for the murder of Max Powers. Since Ray in fact did know Max. In The Disappearance of Max Powers mystery, one rich millionaire Max Powers treated his friends to a private get together, only to be killed hours later. Coincidentally, all four friends: Ray Leetuff, Chloe Goode, Beverly Hillis, and Dez Tenney were all named equal inheritors of Max’s will, making each “friend” a prime suspect in the murder of Max Powers. Because of his motive, discrepancies in the suspects’ testimonies, and incriminating physical evidence, it is clear that Ray is Max Powers’s killer.
Richard Kuklinski was a convicted murderer and contract killer who was born on April 11 in 1935. Kuklinski claims to have killed over 200 people over the course of his “career” during 1949 to 1986. At first, he would simply kill people who annoyed him, got on his nerves, or who he ‘needed’ to kill.

The BTK killer was known for terrorizing the town of Wichita, Kansas. He would bind, torture, and kill his victims, hence the name he gave himself. He sought out victims and stalked them for days sometimes weeks, and his main focus was for women and young girls. According to the book, “Bind Torture Kill: The Inside Story of the BTK, The Serial Killer Next Door”, his killing spree began in 1974 with the Otero family. He entered the home, strangled and killed Mr. Otero, his wife Julie, and two of their children. He then moved on to stalking and killing six more victims in the same manner, by placing a plastic bag over their head, tying a rope or stocking around their neck, and sometimes stabbing his victims.

I think that Dennis Rader is a very weird and stupid person. He had no reason to kill any of the people that he did. He sent letters and acted like he wanted to be caught. After 18 years of not
You don 't understand these things because your not under the influence of factor x). The same thing that made Son of Sam, Jack the Ripper, Havery Glatman, Boston Strangler, Dr. H. H. Holmes Panty Hose Strangler OF Florida, Hillside Strangler, Ted of the West Coast and many more infamous character kill. Which seem s senseless, but we cannot help it. There is no help, no cure, except death or being caught and put away. It a terrible nightmare but, you see I don 't lose any sleep over it. After a thing like Fox I come home and go about life like anyone else. And I will be like that until the urge hit me again. It not continuous and I don’t have a lot of time. It takes time to set a kill, one mistake and it all over. Since I about blew it on the phone-handwriting is out-letter guide is so long and typewriter can be traced to my short poem of death and maybe a drawing later on real picture and maybe a tape of the sound will come your way. How will you know me before a murder or murders you will receive a copy of the initials B.T.K. you keep that copy the original will show up someday guesswho?

Boosie Badazz and I have a few big things in common. We both do what we love to do for a living. Maybe he’s making slightly more than me. By slightly, I mean there’s a good half-a-million to a mill gap. Despite that, he’s a struggling human just like I am. Boosie has never been afraid to let his emotions run wild through his music. It’s that street gospel which attracts a wide audience. “Wipe It Down” was fun, but it’s not going to keep a generation’s attention like what he’s done after that.

Serial killers have plagued the world since before the 1500s. Theories have evolved over long periods of time for explanations as to why people begin killing. The earliest explanation was rooted in witchcraft and demonic possessions overtaking the person causing them to commit these acts of violence. Biological, psychological, and social theories have emerged over the years as society has developed and advanced. The latest theory suggests that the behavior of serial killers results as a combination of biological, psychological, and socialization factors. Despite the numerous theories trying to explain the phenomena of serial killing, no one knows exactly why or how seemingly normal people begin killing others. One of the most infamous serial killers was Donald Harvey. Harvey was a self-proclaimed “angel of death.” He murdered dozens of victims as a hospital aid. Due to Harvey’s difficult childhood and prolonged sexual abuse, Donald developed a psychopathic-type personality disorder and killed dozens of victims.
From Ted Bundy to BTK to the “Zodiac Killer”, serial killers have been around the United States for a long time, but none is better than Richard Chase, or better known as the “Vampire of Sacramento”, to investigate the reasons behind serial killers.

The United States of America constantly boasts about its homeland security system and the 1.6 million dollar budget it grants to immigrant and border control. However, in the past decade the number of illegal immigrants in the US has risen from around 4 million to 11.6 million. Its insane that the United States is spending the extremely generous sum of 1.6 million dollars on border control out of its 3.8 trillion dollar budget, and is seeing no return! Currently, about 3.5 million illegal immigrants are living in poverty and about 1.8 million of these immigrants are minors. However, we need not focus on these monstrous creatures troubles when they are harming us. Illegal immigrants cost the United States approximately 28.6 billion taxpayer dollars per year. These infested peoples continue to remain on our welfare and food stamp programs, and crowd our own hospitals just to save their illegal, costly lives. Whoever said, “nothing is worth more than a life,” must have never experienced our troubles! Fear not my fellow Americans, for any unintelligent creature can be easily manipulated, shown by Ivan Pavlov’s dogs being foolishly attracted to the sound of a useless bell.
Rader fits the reason for a serial killer’s motivation. In a testimony in the book he states,” In court testimony many years later, he attributed the killings to sexual needs, and he apparently molested at least one of the females” (190). He also held traits connected to all serial killers.
B.B. King’s reign as “King of the Blues” has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. B.B. King continued to have his crown at the age of 76, and he was still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with never ending passion. Time has no effect on B.B, all time does for him is make him more popular, more cherished, and more relevant than ever. Even though B.B. King has passed, he’s alive as the music he plays, and the world can’t get enough of him.
