Bind. Torture. Kill. - A New Monster, January 13th

Published Jan 7, 2025, 5:15 PM

‘Monster: BTK’, the newest installment in the ‘Monster’ franchise, reveals the true story of the Wichita, Kansas serial killer who murdered at least 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Known by the moniker, BTK – Bind Torture Kill, his notoriety was bolstered by the taunting letters he sent to police, and the chilling phone calls he made to media outlets. BTK’s identity was finally revealed in 2005 to the shock of his family, his community, and the world. He was the serial killer next door.

The first two episodes are available on January 13th here. For an ad-free binge experience subscribe to iHeart True Crime+.

He wanted underwear, clothing that he was steel. In the neighborhood. He was certainly a peeping tom looking through the windows, looking at people, fantasizing about what he could do.

He would imagine creating what he called girl traps, where they would be totally helpless. He would have complete control and domination over them.

He liked the appearance of bondage, where someone is stuck someone's control, someone can't get away. As he began to age, he then began entering the houses.

He felt very powerful. He could get into their home, take something, and get out and not be caught. People were not there, but he would stand in their home. He felt that sense of violation.

Someone killed four members of a family, two children and two adults. That was shocking. It just didn't happen here.

You see the victims lay in there with plastic bags over their heads, strangled, and then you see children. You see how brutal they were treated, and you could tell there was a planned scenario. There was a script.

He went to a local church, he was in charge of the congregation. He was going to the grocery store with us, he was going to the movies with us. I would have never guessed that he was the guy next door.

I am compelled to kill by factor X, the same factor that motivated Son of Sam. How many people do I have to kill before I get my name in the paper?

From the creators of Atlanta, Monster comes the next installment in the Monster franchise.
