  The Deacon Who Hid 10 Bodies in Plain SightOn January 15, 1974, Charlie Otero came home from school to find his entire family dead in a house that looked completely ordinary from the outside. For 31 years, the man who killed them went to church, coached scouts, and shook hands with his neighbors in Wichita, Kansas, all while calling himself BTK. How did one man hide in plain sight for three decades, and what ultimately led to his downfall?In this episode, we delve into the methodical planning and chilling adaptability of the BTK killer, Dennis Rader, who meticulously studied his victims' routines and even their names.

  The Head Without a Body: Nobody Missed Him. 16.09.2026 16dk

  The Head Without a Body: Nobody Missed Him.On a May night in 1955, screams echoed through a remote corner of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, then fell silent.
