BTK /// Trailer | Forensic Files

the following is a BTK offender criminal profile this profile was written several years
after btk's first set of murders it reads the attached analysis is only as good as
the information that has been provided in addition it may be necessary to totally change or modify this analysis
if new information is developed such as additional victims more forensic evidence or more information obtained
from research multiple homicides Wichita Kansas the murders of the offender known to the
public only as the BTK are the result of a fantasy acted out a fantasy where for the first time in
his life he is in a position of dominance he is an inadequate type a nobody who through his crimes has placed
himself in a position of importance the BTK Strangler is now a somebody who is receiving the recognition he feels is
a long overdue he is not even very original in his crimes he has patterned himself after other
Killers such as the Son of Sam in New York City most of the verbiage used by the
offender in his letters probably comes out of recent Publications in detective magazines
the subject is alienated lonely and withdrawn he would not be expected to have any
lasting relationships with others and would lead a solitary existence dominated by fantasy magical thinking
his killing is an attempt on his part to find affection and acceptance he fears everyone including himself
he would not be expected to have had any normal relations with women and probably has never had a normal
heterosexual relationship with one when he is not killing he experiences intense feelings that he is not normal
and therefore he kills to cope with this disorder an attempt to escape within his
own fantasies thus he can be expected to kill again and to do so in a compulsive repetition
pattern that he has already established his victims can be either male or female
who are both loved and outgoing his victims will be in a position of vulnerability where he can totally
render them helpless his victims represent his own feeling of helplessness and hopelessness
his own life has been disruptive he probably comes from a background where his family was broken
he was raised by an overbearing mother who was inconsistent in her discipline and his father was absent either because
of marital Separation or death this would have occurred when he was a youth your subject may have been raised by
foster parents your subject was an average student in the classroom however he was more Adept
to disrupting the class by using profanity and pranks his language and statements make us
believe that he has some military experience and or is a police buff he probably has had run-ins with the
police in the past such as assault and or breaking and entering during these break-ins items taken will
be items of insignificance these items would have been taken because of a fetish or to feed a strong
urge to take an article of clothing or an item that he is fond of or the satisfaction of committing a crime that
will leave little evidence to investigators BTK may have a history of voyeuristic
activity and he may have an arrest record for these types of offenses he hunts his victims by selecting
neighborhoods where he can peruse different houses without being detected furthermore his victims will live in an
area where if need be he can have an easy Escape Route such as a neighborhood park where he can hide to elude police
his killings are impulsively motivated and without elaborate planning he seeks out targets of opportunity
such individuals of this type suffer from insomnia and thus find it difficult to Hold Steady employment
control of himself and of his environment is essential to such a person although he is gaining in
confidence he is still shy withdrawn and isolated BTK will continue to kill until
he is caught or killed [Music]
