Dr. Katherine Ramsland, whose correspondence with Rader has spanned a decade and is still on-going, shares the intimate details of Rader&#8217;s past and his gruesome murders while providing insight to arm criminologists and law enforcement on how to better identify and potentially deter extreme violent offenders in the future. The definitive documentary &#8220;<em>BTK: Confession of a Serial Killer<\/em>&#8221; premieres Saturday, January 8, and Sunday, January 9 @ 9PM ET\/PT on A&amp;E.<\/p>\n<p>The two-night event sheds new light on Rader&#8217;s double life as both an upstanding citizen and a heartless killer. Dr. Ramsland, the renowned professor of forensic psychology and author, leads the examination of his transformation from an American boy to an American monster who wreaked havoc in Wichita, Kansas, and went uncaptured for thirty years. With exclusive phone conversations with Rader himself, eye-opening new archival, comprehensive interviews, and access to Rader&#8217;s drawings and coded diaries all paired with Dr. Ramsland&#8217;s expertise, viewers get to know the man behind the moniker, the truth behind the headlines, and a glimpse at the secrets Rader is still holding onto.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1238845760\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Through her deep and extraordinary work mapping some of the darkest corners of the human psyche, Dr. Ramsland has performed an invaluable service to law enforcement and the country at large.
