Kerri Rawson
About this listen
What is it like to learn that your ordinary, loving father is a serial killer?
In 2005, Kerri Rawson opened the door of her apartment to greet an FBI agent who shared the shocking news that her father had been arrested for murdering 10 people, including two children. That’s also when she first learned that her father was the notorious serial killer known as BTK, a name he’d given himself that described the horrific way he committed his crimes: Bind, torture, kill. As news of his capture spread, the city of Wichita celebrated the end of a 31-year nightmare. For Kerri Rawson, another was just beginning. In the weeks and years that followed, Kerri was plunged into a black hole of horror and disbelief. The same man who had been a loving father, a devoted husband, church president, Boy Scout leader, and a public servant had been using their family as a cover for his heinous crimes since before she was born. Everything she had believed about her life had been a lie.
Written with candor and extraordinary courage, A Serial Killer’s Daughter is an unflinching exploration of life with one of America’s most infamous killers and an astonishing tale of personal and spiritual transformation. For all who suffer from unhealed wounds; the crippling effects of violence; betrayal; or anger, Kerri Rawson’s story offers the hope of reclaiming sanity in the midst of madness, rebuilding a life in the shadow of death, and learning to forgive the unforgivable.
©2019 Kerri Rawson (P)2019 Thomas NelsonInterview: Listen in as Kerri Rawson talks about the journey she went on to share her devastating and irreconcilable memories of life before and after finding out her father was the notorious BTK killer.

He remained on the loose for 30 years.

Story
For 31 years, a monster terrorized the residents of Wichita, Kansas. A bloodthirsty serial killer, self-named "BTK" - for "bind them, torture them, kill them" - he slaughtered men, women, and children alike, eluding the police for decades while bragging of his grisly exploits to the media. The nation was shocked when the fiend who was finally apprehended turned out to be Dennis Rader - a friendly neighbor...a devoted husband...a helpful Boy Scout dad...the respected president of his church. Written by four award-winning crime reporters who covered the story for more than 20 years, Bind, Torture, Kill is the most intimate and complete account of the BTK nightmare

Lurking beneath the progressive activism and sex positivity in the 1970 to '80s, a dark undercurrent of violence rippled across the American landscape. With reported cases of sexual assault and homicide on the rise, the FBI created a specialized team - the “Mindhunters”, better known as the Behavioral Science Unit - to track down the country's most dangerous criminals. And yet narrowing down a seemingly infinite list of potential suspects seemed daunting at best and impossible at worst - until Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess stepped on the scene.

A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the “other" is allowed full reign.

I order another bourbon, neat. This is the drink that will flip the switch. I don’t even know how I got here, to this place, to this point. Something is happening to me lately. I’m drinking too much. My sheets are soaking wet when I wake up from nightmares of decaying corpses. I order another drink and swig it, trying to forget about the latest case I can’t shake. Crime solving for me is more complex than the challenge of the hunt, or the process of piecing together a scientific puzzle. The thought of good people suffering drives me to the point of obsession.

When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life.

Couldn't Get Through it
- By M. Waite on 01-30-19
Who do you turn to when the bogeyman is your own father?
When Kerri Rawson moved into her first apartment, her dad, Dennis Rader, showed her how to keep its sliding glass door secure at night. It wasn't until years later that she learned her father—better known as the BTK Killer—once threw a brick through a neighbor's sliding glass door and killed the woman inside.
Such devastating, irreconcilable memories haunt this extraordinary memoir—the most soul-searching, insightful, and compelling account by a serial killer's loved one (and victim) I’ve ever come across. Rawson’s life was upended when Rader, a Boy Scout leader and church president, was exposed as the cruel predator who had tortured and murdered 10 people in Kansas over nearly two decades. What happened to her after that—the trauma and PTSD, the publicity, the fracturing of her family and entire world—can hardly be overstated. You’re unlikely to hear a memoir this jaw-dropping... ever. But Rawson’s nervy humor, her spiritual candor, and her capacity for compassion make her an endearing, even relatable, heroine—warmly voiced by narrator Devon O’Day. I congratulate Rawson on writing a terrific memoir that must have taken immeasurable courage. Forget the monster; I want to know where this remarkable survivor is going next.

Hollywood's make-believe maniacs like Jason, Freddy, and Hannibal Lecter can't hold a candle to real-life monsters like John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and scores of others who have terrorized, tortured, and terminated their way across civilization throughout the ages. Now, from the much-acclaimed author of Deviant, Deranged, and Depraved, comes the ultimate resource on the serial killer phenomenon.

A lot of religion
As the name implies, it’s VERY religion-focused. I definitely enjoyed hearing about her journey and appreciate her telling her story. But for those that aren’t super religious, it’s kind of a lot of bible talk. I think the conversation surrounding PTSD is important.

Fascinating Story!
An incredible story, told from a very personal space.
Loved the book, but was continually irritated by the narrator’s saccharine sweet tone. It was like listening to Betty White’s character Rose from Golden girls reading this book! I would recommend this title, however, I would read the hardcopy instead of listening to the audio version.

Powerful, poignant and emotional
I'm so glad that Kerri Rawson was brave enough to share her story with the world. Yes, there's loss, tragedy and sorrow but there is also love, hope and forgiveness. Thank you Kerri for sharing your story and your truth.

More Than A Headline
Whenever a story such as BTK breaks on the news, I always think about the vast number of people affected. ALL of the innocent family members that are left to process the tragedies created by these complicated "monsters" boggles the mind and the heart. The author did an excellent job sharing the humanity of her father without excusing his atrocities. God bless all the families affected by this man!

Narrator
i would have liked to hear the author’s voice. The narrator sounded like she was reading a children’s good night book. I found it distractingly times. This story is not Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf

Heartwrenching!
I can only imagine the nightmare finding out my daddy, the man I know and love is a serial killer. Author Kerri Rawson takes us into her world and how her faith carries her through the unimaginable.

Narration takes awhile to get used to
I really enjoyed hearing the perspective from the daughter of a serial killer. It's interesting how someone was able to live such a double life, undetected for so long. I think this story could have been better with a younger narrator though. It was confusing listening to a first person narrative of a young woman in her 30s from someone who sounds like Rose from the Golden Girls. She would fit well in other stories.

loved it!
If you want a true crime book this is not it. This is the life story of the daughter of a man who turned out to be a serial killer. You get to experience her childhood thru adulthood living with this man, her biggest memories of him, and why it was so hard for her to believe that the guy who raised her could possibly be the same man who committed these terrible acts. When she finds out about him she shares her battle of coping with it and how it's affected her life and the life of her family. She does a great job, I listened to this over two days, I didn't want to stop listening it's very well told. So if your interested in this part of the story I highly recommend this book. If you just want gore and scene details you aren't going to find them here, so it's not the one for you. I personally think she's amazingly strong, determined to get thru and have a good life for her children! I hope she realizes how amazing she really is.

I enjoyed her story of faith and healing. I wish her happiness for her and her family. I do wonder how her mother and brother are doing.
