Inside The Mind Of BTK: The True Story Behind The Thirty-Year Hunt For The Notorious Wichita Serial Killer - Plot & Excerpts
If only I could do the same thing for my brain. I stared into the emptiness of my hotel room. The quiet at this hour of night was deafening. Thoughts were swimming around inside me like piranhas. After a few moments one of them surfaced, and it occurred to me that Dennis Rader and I had something in common. He too was a profiler. The difference was that he profiled in order to feed his appetite as a sexual predator. He reminded me of a lion out on the Serengeti, scanning the plains for prey—weak, lame, or old. Why work up a sweat by going after some young, swift antelope when he could find others much more vulnerable? Yet the comparison only went so far, because lions hunt for survival. They kill to feed themselves and their cubs. Men like Rader kill as a form of recreation. They’re predators. They live for the hunt. Like the lion, they search for easy targets. But their biggest turn-on is the chance to play God, to have absolute control and dominance over another human being. It was enough to make me sick.
