Listener discretion is advised. SERIAL KILLER: The BTK Strangler Monster |Bind, Torture, Kill| Part 1 of 2Bind them. Torture Them. Kill Them. A three step process in fulfiling one man’s sick and demonic sexual fantasies. So why share the story? Why do we give these monsters more attention and discussion? Because they took the lives of people who aren’t here to speak up any longer, yet we can. And we will, and we’re here to make sure nobody celebrates this monster, but rather- we can study and learn how to stop any future monsters from taking innocent lives. Here at Fire Eyes Media, Jen and I strive to be better victim advocates each case we share. For this purpose, we will be leaving out some graphic details per our discretion.In Part 1 of 2, we dive right in to the timeline of the crimes and then we'll return in Part 2 all about who BTK is (yes, he's still alive).
