Do you think he is also going to speak in court in the hearing in the next two days? Will we hear from him? And what do you think he could say?įOULSTON: Well, I don‘t think he can say much. And thank you for sharing it with us because it is really disturbing and gives us insight into his mind.
RITA COSBY SISTER SERIAL
Rader is not just an ordinary serial killer, he‘s an individual who planned and carried out before, during and after, showing how he trolled and looked for victims and made sure that he knew everything about them prior to the time that he killed them and documented everything after he killed them, looking for attention in our national and local media until he got what he wanted.ĬOSBY: It‘s incredible to see this stuff, Nola. These are absolutely the link that shows that Mr. This is one of about 50 different books that Mr. The last thing, of course, in showing you this-this says that this is one of Mr. What did he use it for? Well, this was one of his glib responses to getting communication to law enforcement, emptying out cereal boxes, filling them with knock-off Barbie dolls in various stages of bondage, hanging them and putting with it various items he had taken from victims, including items and perhaps their Social Security number, jewelry, showing them in various stages of bondage and identifying them as victims he had killed in our community, taking these boxes, putting them out in the country and leaving clues with local media as to where they might be found. Rader had a collection of hundreds of boxes of cereal. In addition, we have a very prolific serial killer who likes cereal in the mornings with his breakfast. This one came from a different kind of ad in another local magazine just showing underwear or clothing or swimwear. And this one, this came from a K-Mart ad. This particular one talks about what he was going to do with this young girl, who was an innocent model, perhaps. Rita, I don‘t want to read you what‘s on the back of these because it is absolutely pornographic, but he would give a name to these and talk about exactly what he intended to do with these child victims and witnesses or individuals in this case. We‘re talking about items such as knock-off Barbie dolls that he would dress on his own and continue to use them for bondage and hostages, photographs, items from the newspaper, other information that he would keep in his stash and look at and review.įOULSTON: Right. We‘re talking about other types of items that kept in a collection. He had buckets and barrels and tubs of information, including photographs of deceased victims that he would take after he had killed them, in addition to photographs of his own individual personal items, including handcuffs, knives, ropes, leather, individual clothing items, gloves, ropes, anything you could possibly imagine. Rader‘s nomenclature as his “mother lode.” This was information that was taken after a search warrant at Dennis Rader‘s home and at his office. This is our first glimpse at it.įOULSTON: This is part-this is actually part of his “home stash,” as he called it, or what we would refer to by Mr. In addition to this.ĬOSBY: Now, Nola, as we‘re looking at those pictures, if you can kind of hold them up one at a time? Which crime scene is this? I mean, this is stunning. These are the kind of things Dennis Rader was known for, being meticulously organized and following each and every killing before, during and after the homicides.
And in doing so, he‘s contained or kept logs and photographs not only of what he had at home but actual photographs of victims after he had killed them. There were thousands of documents, what we call slicks ads and other things he would prepare for himself to just get ready to go out and commit another homicide. He was so enamored with what he was doing and photographed all the items, photographs and information that he had in his storage facilities at home.
What I‘m showing you right now is a photograph from his home collection, including information on his handcuffs, individual photographs, even a story that says something about BTK. He was so organized that he put all of his information into books like this, and that information included photographs that he took of every piece of information that he had.
What I‘m holding on my lap is one of Dennis Rader‘s actual books. I just brought down a slice of it with me today. NOLA FOULSTON, WICHITA DISTRICT ATTORNEY: Honestly, Rita, there‘s so much evidence, you wouldn‘t believe it. Nola, I understand you have actually some of the paraphernalia that Dennis Rader used, and that‘s going to be shown in court tomorrow. Joining me now is Wichita district attorney Nola Foulston. But tonight, we have something you will not see anywhere else.
