Certainly not the best documentary about BTK. And it must indeed be terrible for the daughter, but it's also terrible for the son, who was smart enough to live a completely anonymous life and not seek attention.
If you write a book and announce on social media that you're the daughter of a woman, don't be surprised if you get a lot of stupid negative reactions. It's become her job, and she makes good money from it, which is fine with me, but then you know you're going to get a lot of flak.
I've read a bit about BTK, and I find it hard to believe his wife knew nothing at all. His backpack, duct tape, cord, and all, just sat on a shelf in the hallway for years. It wasn't exactly a clean house, but that shelf must have been cleaned at least once a year. The garden shed was full of the victims' belongings. She always thought there was something strange about her husband...but then again, they went to the local church every Sunday...

In February 2005, then 59-year-old Dennis Rader was unmasked as "The BTK Killer," a serial killer responsible for at least 10 murders in the Wichita, Kansas, area during the 1970s and 1980s. Although he even wrote letters to police boasting about his crimes, he led a double life as a caring, exemplary husband and father. Daughter Kerri tells her side of the story (the rest of the family remains silent) based on her best-selling autobiography. She's clearly a better writer than a storyteller. It doesn't help that Susan Peters, a television journalist who covered the case for years, tries to inject some suspense into this routine, dull retrospective of a fascinating, macabre family drama.
