Abstract

The article focuses on Kerri Rawson, daughter of Dennis Rader, the serial killer known as the "BTK" (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, who murdered 10 people in Wichita, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991. It profiles Rawson's experience growing up with Rader, her emotional struggles following his 2005 arrest, and her current dedication to advocating for crime and trauma victims. The Netflix documentary *My Father: The BTK Killer* explores her journey, including her efforts to assist law enforcement in investigating potential additional victims. Despite public scrutiny and personal challenges, Rawson seeks to define her own identity separate from her father's crimes.
