I really appreciate that his daughter is willing to admit what her father was. My mother was a pathological liar, that would never tell the truth, and I understand how hard it is for a child to accept that their parent is that kind of person. 🙏🏻

[Lifewithpersians]

BTK’s daughter is really a force. Helping solve crimes that her dad committed! Brave!

[emmasurf]

Apparently he's upset that other serial killers are getting more attention than he is now His narcissistic tendencies for attention might finally get more information out of him.

[lzal]

I feel for all the victims and their families. The craziness doesn’t end with this psychopath.

[lokimarie]

Ive seen comments on other channels that have been harsh towards the daughter saying she wants attention like her dad. So unfair. This is probably a way of helping her heal from what her father had done. I think it shows a lot of toughness on her part to put herself out there and want to help victims. 👏👏💪🏻

I think that if he gave himself that nickname, we should stop calling him by that. Cause obviously he takes pride in being that heinous that he came up with that nickname that needs to be taken away from him

[Tassie]

Kerri is a soldier and an inspiration. Her unique experience and vantage point are invaluable to the authorities and to victims of violent crime. I think she is tremendous.

[michellegrandi]

I never believed he took breaks in time of killing. It scares me to think of how many more there could be.

[KyleD]

His daughter is amazing! Thanks for trying to give the families some closure.

Those drawings look like little girls… He’s so disturbed

[matthewclaridge]

I think the main reason he's not confessing to any other crimes is.
He doesn't want to be moved.
Being moved for a long term, sentenced inmate sucks.
Being moved to another jurisdiction/prison to stand trial would mean.
He'd spend hours shackled during transit. It could take him weeks to receive his property on the other end and things could be damaged or go missing.He could end up being placed in a dirty or loud cell. He'll have to interact with new staff and new inmates and he's got no guarantee about how they'll treat him. He could up somewhere that's freezing cold or unbearably hot, etc...you get the point.
The fact of the matter is he's settled in. He knows the routine and he's as "comfortable" as he's ever going to get.
The cops can say they won't charge him all day long but the reality is he won't know for certain until after he confesses and it's probably not a risk he's willing to take
PS people that have never been locked up might not realise what a big deal having to move after you've got comfortable and settled in is. But trust me about this, it's not something you'd volunteer for ...

[CSIPiper]

He’s still controlling her even from prison and all these years later. It’s sad.

[Raylee-H]

Even though these are drawings it makes me think of what these girls went through.

[ladyfreedomsrawnarratives]

I agree, he loves toying with people and he has all the time in the world to do it. 🙄

[jordanfromtheecity]

His daughter is a saint for this. Helping victims n their family's get their loved ones home n at rest.She is probably going to be dealt g with this all her life. Unfortunately people like him are the kind that when they know they are at end of their own life they start playing games n telling of victims n locations whether they exist or not sending people on wild hoose chases n leaving family's forever wondering.

[goose]

Wow! It's truly incredible that his daughter is doing what she's doing. I'm sure it's terrifying to know that your father did, but still meet with him to try to get answers.

[Stacey]

They let him control everything. Dont give him the time of day. Dont spend another red cent on him. Throw him in a hole NO water, food, clothes, toilet, medical, dental attention, nothing at all. Open the door once a week and if he is still alive, shut the door until the next week.

[seemoore]

whether he tells the truth or not, he's getting what he wants....let it go.

[justkiddin]

SERIOUSLY? In what world do you decide it’s ok to put that sick picture up as click bait? Who do you think is going to click on that? It is horrible, irresponsible, and unethical. That is someone’s CHILD!

[lyndaalbrecht]

The BTK case shows why all states should have the death penalty for extreme circumstances. Serial killers are cowards who prey on the vulnerable. They do everything they can to avoid execution, with few exceptions. IMO, BTK should have executed years ago. Or at least it could have been used as leverage to find out more about his crimes. This monster inspires utter disgust.
