My Father, the BTK Killer: A Daughter's Journey of Truth, Trauma, and Healing.

A chilling story of betrayal, survival, and the search for peace, My Father, the BTK Killer offers an unflinching look into the life of Kerri Rawson, the daughter of Dennis Rader, one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. The BTK killer, responsible for the brutal murders of ten people over three decades, led a double life, hiding his monstrous identity behind the facade of a loving family man and respected community member. But when Kerri learned the devastating truth about her father, everything she thought she knew about her life, her family, and herself was shattered.

In this hauntingly personal memoir and documentary, Kerri takes you on an emotional journey through the agonizing process of discovering that her father was the infamous BTK killer. With raw honesty and vulnerability, she shares her grief, shame, and confusion, as well as her struggle to understand how the man she had trusted most in her life could have been responsible for such unimaginable acts.
