I am legally unable to comment at this time on the ongoing cold case investigation’s into my father.
Please contact the Osage County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
Thank you.
My father murdered 10 people. A father, two children, mothers, sisters, wives, daughters.
10.
I know them down to their crime scene photos that can haunt me in my night terrors. I know their cases down to details that aren’t public.
Dear beloved media partners:
I was born Kerri Lynn Rader.
I share Lynn with my dad.
I was Kerri till 2/25/05, till you, the MSM decided in all your wisdom, while trying to knock down my door, cameras ready, lights on, to call me “BTK’s Daughter.”
Dr. Katherine Ramsland was one of Bryan Kohberger’s professors in Criminology Studies at DeSales University, where he earned a masters degree last spring.
Ramsland has, or did have a close academic relationship and friendship with my father, Dennis Rader, BTK. 1/
World renowned forensic psychology professor and serial killer expert Dr. Katherine Ramsland reportedly taught Bryan Kohberger at DeSales University in Pennsylvania. She told me she can’t make media statements about him at this time.
Here is our latest report:
We’re here cause of my father. Period.
I turned him on his 8th one. Less than an hour after I was notified who he really was.
I will keep walking and talking and help solving murders. That’s what I’m gonna do.
If you’ve got a problem with it take it somewhere else.
DM’s are closed, stepping away for the time being. Please respect my request for privacy. Will update as I can later.
I will be logged out. This isn’t a place to contact me right now for any reason.
Thank you.
I wasn’t born for 7 of those. Yet they visit me in my sleep. Right next to the man who raised me and murdered them.
I walk these cases like any cold case detective would. And I walk a whole hell of a lot more, very few know, cause it’s not for the public.
Press Release:
August 22, 2023, I became aware that Osage County Sheriff's Office investigators from Oklahoma & Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents, assisted by the Park City Police Department, were at the Park City, KS site where my childhood home originally stood…
18 years ago I didn’t think I would survive the night after being notified my dad was BTK
9 years ago I started blasting out my heart to the world
Today, I speak with Joel Waldman

about the current cold case investigations into my father
I’m around 15 here, headed to a wedding with my parents.
I’m scowling at the photographer, my mom, for asking us to take a photo.
If I was irritated at my dad, I wouldn’t be touching him. (ask anyone that actually knows me)
Yes, I still scowl at the world as needed.
It’s important to publicly show that Rex’s wife has filed for a divorce, because it sends a message.
Good for her. My mom did the same, she filed for an emergency divorce after 33 years of marriage after he took his guilty plea.
BREAKING:
#RexHeuermann
's wife
#AsaEllerup
has filed for divorce less than a week after police named her husband the prime suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial murders investigation.

Hey folks, I’m okay-ish.
I’m recovering from Covid & have bronchitis. I’m resting and appreciate everyone’s care and concern.
I’m dealing with extremely serious developments with my dad and will return in time.
I’m ready for the hurricane.
Other than ice. Bring it B.
I appreciate people checking in on me. I’m alright but need a good deal of time, space and peace right now.
Prayers and good thoughts appreciated.
In time I hope to be back to fight the good fights. For now, I need others to fight for me.
My goodness folks. Slow down and read.
I’m saying I’m holding my father’s butt to the flame of FAFO.
Facts:
1) he’s rotting to his core
2) he’s been offered tri state immunity
3) he’s playing hardball
4) he can accept immunity and stay in the prison he seems comfortable
My Dad, Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer is in a wheelchair and ‘rotting to his core’ in prison
“My father does not want to be put in a van and woken up in OK in a holding cell for the kidnapping of Cynthia Kinney.”
I’m in the hospital fighting Covid. (again)
Thankful to be getting care & otherwise have nothing but curse words for the last 3 1/2 years.
Love you all. Even the trolls waiting in the wings.
Today marks my 19th anniversary of being alive. When I never expected to be, 19 years ago.
19 years relatively free from a psycho madman, who I also call Dad, who now I just occasionally visit in prison, and say “Hey!? What gives?!”
I buy him a root beer, hand him Kleenex,
Do better folks.
I give you my heart and soul almost daily.
I work hard for you all, and you all damn well know it. And I ain’t paid for it. That’s for damn sure.
It’s Kerri Rawson.
Put it in your fancy guides:
Kerri Rawson, daughter of Dennis Rader, the BTK Serial
Yo Dad! Happy Sunday!
Guess what man?! Millions are trying to solve your cold cases. LMAO.
And I’m helping lead the whole damn thing.
Have a nice day, sir. I and the rest of the army is coming.
See ya soon boo.
On Top Of The World
Folks. I have a obligation as an active investigator in this, who has a large role in the community, who is a public figure, as his kid, to help guide the Midwest, the county and the world in these cold cases as information is released.
I’ve known most all this for months.
No statement has ever been truer.
What a most insane past 3 months, past years, life.
Folks. Please be patient with me. I will say it again: I am 1 person. Going through a good deal of hell even as I do my best to share and be human.
Let me be human.

Well folks, I never thought I’d be typing “Possible BTK victim,” in 2023.
We need help identifying this young woman. She can be from 1963- 2/25/2005.

“It’s not anything I would wish on my worst enemy.
You have to make a decision, even if it’s what am I going to do in the next 2 minutes, the next hour, tomorrow?
Put 1 foot in front of the other, decide you are going to stay alive.”
My father, Dennis Rader, the BTK Serial Killer, named as 'prime suspect' in at least 2 unsolved cases
“I told NBC News that my work as an agent for LE & visiting my convicted killer father for the first time in 18 years was about the victims.”
Last night I sat down with Surviving the Survivor, my 1st on camera interview since it was announced that my father, Dennis Rader is a prime suspect in multiple active cases.
Are there more than 10?
That’s the question of the hour.
Maybe of the decade. Maybe my next 55 years.
Cops recover 'items of interest' in new search of my Dad, serial killer BTK's former Kansas property, Osage County sheriff Eddie Virden says

All my love to the Goncalves, Mogen, Kernodle, & Chapin families today.
That house should still be standing, they should still be alive.
We shouldn’t know their names.
I'm on the phone with
@KerriRawson
now. She tells me she was flown to Oklahoma in June to help investigators in Osage County.
Kerri also visited her dad (BTK) in prison for a total of 3 hours in June and July to try and get information from him.
3 days from now marks the 19th anniversary of the knock, the day my world upended, when dad was arrested.
I’ve been quiet on here, cause I’ve been given 2 main tasks in life right now:
Holy sheese bells!!! NBC

Trigger Warning
How could the family of the accused Long Island Serial killer not have known or suspected anything? The daughter of the BTK killer
@KerriRawson
says she and her mother never had a clue 👇
I’m going to say something that’s gonna maybe sound weird but here we go anyways.
In my experience, part of being the family of a criminal is feeling fear, shame, embarrassment, cause of who you are related to, like you have to hide it.
My FATHER owes restitution for what HE did.
I do not. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was born to a serial killer. I’ve survived a serial killer for the last 45 years. I think I have a thing or two to say that’s worth saying.
I’m paid equitable for my work. Like anyone else.
My dad, serial killer, Dennis Rader, calls Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann a ‘clone’ of himself
“BTK and Heuermann were taken down similarly, Rader argued – “DNA and electronics his downfall much like me.”

Breaking News. And difficult one at that for Alissa’s family and sister Sarah. 🩷 My thoughts are with them today.
Michael Turney trial: Judge dismisses case against Arizona man accused of killing his stepdaughter, Alissa.
We can join together to put our mark on modern inter-agency cooperation and modern forensics.
Kerri Rawson, daughter of Dennis Rader, the BTK Serial Killer
Dear media, law enforcement, criminal justice partners & the public:
Effective as of 11/3/23 I resigned from the BTK National Task Force. I wish them the best in their endeavors.
I continue to serve as a protected witness as needed with active law enforcement.
19 years ago I assumed it was over. Nothing after it.
Dad was locked away and life as I knew it no longer existed or never really did to begin with.
19 years later, now I’m getting to help others, here, this is what happened to me, and I see you, and you too will survive.
As I’ve said many times before, we’re not catching guys like my father, Joseph DeAngelo, Rex Heuermann, cause we’re overlooking “normal looking family men who can hold jobs and don’t have arrest records.”
These decades long, very bad types are hiding in plain sight.
“My instant thought was does he have a family. And then when you’re hearing he has a wife and he has kids, it is instant my heart rips again because I know what my family went through and what we still go through…utter shock and terror.” -
@KerriRawson
🚨 Law enforcement seeks help to identify barns in BTK serial killer cold case
They’re hoping the public can identify barns and silos in OK, KS and MO that the BTK killer sketched in never-before-seen detailed drawings.
My book was written by me, it took 4 years of very hard work & therapy, I taught myself how to write.
And my book isn’t about my dad’s murders. It’s about my life. I’m a crime, trauma & abuse victim. My family is the 8th victim family.
I owe no one nothing. Especially not
#BTK
cold case hunters, a lead is under way on the possible ID of this girl. Good job everyone! Im not at liberty to discuss more at this time.
What we need assistance with now on Barn girl 2
#barngirl2
is the location.
Possibly: SE KS. Early 90s.
The only known survivor of BTK is Kevin Bright, who at the age of 19 nearly handed my dad his rear, while taking two to the head.
He escaped and tried valiantly to save the life of his 21 year old sister Kathryn.
Please do better.

I had to legally cut my father off through a do not contact order in 2021, due to my father’s mis-use of others & the systems he has access to.
My father has gone to lengths to build relationships through letters & phone calls with others who he uses to cyber stalk & harass me
"Bottom line, my father is a dangerous sexual sadistic psychopath, a pathological liar, and a narcissist.”
“People need to remember that when communicating with him, and others like him.”

for Newsweek
My full interview with Brian Entin & News Nation.
We talked about the connection the accused Idaho killer has to the professor who wrote a biography with my father, BTK & also discussed what it’s like to be the family member of a killer.
Do you know what I’ve had to fight in my life to find Kerri again?
Be Kerri?
Be me?
Do you know what I fight every damn day still?
Why I’m fighting tooth and nail for everyone else that needs me to?
Media partners: I’m blacked out till further notice.
True crime army & public, I, my Osage team, and LE partners appreciate all the positive leads and assistance pouring in.
I am unable to personally respond, but collecting and collating information.
My father graduated with a bachelors in Criminal Justice, from Wichita State University, making a mockery of this important field, using his college courses to study his own ongoing murders and get access to LE information in the 1970s. 4/
We must continue to work together to seek answers to these crimes, stop these predators quicker, and find ways to prevent these crimes from happening at all. /x

“My father does not want to be put in a van and woken up in OK in a holding cell for the kidnapping of Cynthia Kinney.”
As someone who does work alongside Law Enforcement and Media Partners, my heart is broken that someone for whatever reasons, fabricated their own missing persons case.
Taking immense resources from actual cases.
This could be a mental illness, or it could be deliberate.
I have ongoing concerns, knowing how common it is for criminology students, true crime fans, and others to correspond regularly with my father, that Kohberger could have been in contact with my father at some point, but require proof of this, which currently I do not know of. 2/
I’ve made it clear for many months I will work with anyone, and have tired hard to build bridges and mend fences.
I’m so beyond the drama and the infighting and the back stabbing and the gossipy DM’s.
Grow up or get off my timeline and out of my inbox.

I wasn’t a public figure for almost 10 years after that. I wanted nothing to do with you all. Why would I?
Then came the fall of 2014. I was done being silent and I had things to say. I said them, to respectful listeners and storytellers.
Folks who are helping on Dad’s possible cold cases you all are awesome!
This is where we need to focus:
Missing persons / murdered
We’re looking at 1963- feb 2005 for barns / all of it / KS / W MO, NE AR, NW / NC OK

Dear Media partners:
As of 9/12, I’m unable to conduct on record or off record interviews till further notice due to the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigations involving my father and my involvement as an active agent of law enforcement.
My thoughts have been with the victim’s friends & families and law enforcement since news broke of this horrific crime, and my thoughts are also with Kohberger’s friends and family at this time.
It is my hope justice will be served fully. 5/
Folks: this video is absolutely loaded with new information on this massive ongoing, developing situation with my father.

Facing some big days ahead, asking for prayers and good thoughts for travel mercies, strength, energy, & that I’m useful hands and feet.
Life has been tossing challenges my way, I’m still trying, always trying.
Never expected this to my life.
We go where we’re called, anyway.
My own international headline: Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, is exhausted on all fronts and doing her damn best, orange shirts and all.
Heading off for a bit.
The shed stood for 2 years after his arrest from what I understand.
It was metal build on top of concrete pavers. All that was removed and demolished at the time the house and tree house was in 2007.
Did anyone before today, bother to look under the shed. 🤷🏻♀️
Female European common frogs were observed engaging in "tonic immobility" — essentially feigning their own deaths — to avoid mating, according to a new study.
The ripples of one man’s horrific actions will be felt for generations, effecting not only the families, but the wider Idaho community, the supporting law enforcement & criminology communities. 6/

No. He lied straight to my face after not seeing me in 18 1/2 years.
He is what he is.
A pathological liar.
A narcissist.
A sexual sadistic psychopath.
A 24/7/365 serial killer.
A predator.
And a dad.
Police in Oklahoma are asking for the public’s help, after uncovering new drawings that they say may depict crimes committed by the BTK serial killer. BTK’s daughter, Kerri Rawson, is assisting local law enforcement with the investigation.
"There's real people involved here, real families, families that have lost young people. They'll be grieving the rest of their lives.
And Kohberger's family have lost a son, have to deal with the ramifications of what he's done the rest of their lives.”
I was seen as a violent crime, trauma, and abuse victim. A survivor of hell. I was aided by your breed.
Yet the headlines started, and they, even from the super safe places I was sharing my story for the 1st time with, chose “BTK’s daughter.”
So. After many years of just saving them, I’m going to start putting these on blast.
I get an immense amount of support and I’m incredibly grateful for it, but this also is an aspect I deal with daily.
Welcome to the life of being a child of an infamous criminal.👇
My father and his many murders, are studied intensively in the field of criminology. I believe strongly in the training of future law enforcement, criminology, and forensic minds, and give lectures myself, to further education in these fields. 3/
Whatever this is from is a total and complete lie. I have debt, live in a one bedroom apartment, and not sure I make my rent next week but go right ahead to do this.
I’m worth millions of dollars. 🤣

She needs to change her appearance. Is she looking like that on purpose? So many things she could do, Lose weight, for one, put in contacts, change the color and style of her hair.
