The horrible murders of four Idaho college roommates have been circling the internet for months. With a murder suspect recently taken into custody, more and more information is coming to light.
Inside Edition shared a video on its YouTube channel discussing the surprising possible link between the Idaho murder suspect and the BTK serial killer.
Bryan Kohberger got his master’s degree in criminology from DeSales University in Pennsylvania. While he was there, Kohberger studied under forensic psychologist and serial killer expert Katherine Ramsland, PhD.
It turns out that Ramsland collaborated on a book with Dennis Rader, the notorious BTK murderer. BTK stands for bind, torture, and kill, something I was unaware of, but that little bit of knowledge makes this man even more terrifying.
The title of the book Ramsland and Rader collaborated on is Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer. An Inside Edition news anchor said, “The BTK killer terrorized Wichita, Kansas, for over three decades with a string of 10 random slayings. He sent taunting letters to cops describing his murder spree. The killings went unsolved until 2005 when a local dog catcher, Dennis Rader, was finally arrested.”
Inside Edition then previews an interview that Ramsland gave, talking about her collaboration with Rader. She claims that she was in contact with Rader for over 10 years, attempting to discuss and figure out what drove him to become one of the most notorious serial killers in America.
The video then takes a turn back to Bryan Kohberger, who is said to be fascinated by the criminal mind and even solicited information for a research study from former criminals. He would ask questions like, “Why did you choose that victim?” and, “After committing the crime, what were you thinking and feeling?”
Inside Edition got a chance to speak to Rader’s daughter, Kerri Rawson, asking her if she knew of any communication between her father and Kohberger. She said, “I wouldn’t be surprised if Kohberger did have contact with my father through letter writing. Kohberger and my dad were the same age at the time of my dad’s first murders.”
Do you think these two killers connected with each other? Watch the video to learn more.
