What Happened To The BTK Killer's Children?

According to Britannica, Dennis Rader murdered 10 people between 1974 and 1991 within the greater Wichita, Kansas area. It was Rader's custom to bind and strangle his victims in a manner that satisfied his sexual compulsions and fetishistic predilections, and throughout the course of his revolting saga of heinous exploits, he managed to maintain a double-life. All the while, he kept his reputation as a family man and respectable samaritan within his community, but the facade eventually collapsed in on itself.

For years, Dennis Rader routinely sent anonymous letters and packages to reporters and police. It was a daring and audacious way to mock those who were trying to exhume his identity and bring him to justice, but one such insolent gesture inadvertently led to his arrest. Authorities managed to trace a floppy disk that Rader had sent them back to his location at a church in Kansas, and after coupling his DNA with semen found at one of his crime scenes, he was arrested and placed before a jury. Dennis Rader, the notorious BTK Killer, had finally been caught. He pled guilty at the trial and was sentenced to life behind bars without any chance of parole (per Britannica).
