8 FACTORS X

There were many attempted hits. I went to their home and it didn’t work out.

Dennis Rader

This is the story that was publicized at the time: Wichita had a local serial killer on the loose who had murdered seven people, declared his presence, and threatened to kill more. He entered homes on a whim. The police urged residents to lock their windows and doors, and watch for strangers in their neighborhoods. This guy was a stalker; he was careful and crafty but would seem ordinary. No one knew where he would strike next and the police did not know how to stop him. The tips rolled in about every suspicious neighbor or spouse. None panned out.

The police had three communications from him, including one from 1974, but nothing more appeared in 1978.

Rader was busy pondering projects. “A woman told me that at one time a man had broken into her home, had placed rope, tape, a knife and cords on her bed, but for some reason, he left before she got there. She found those items and told the police. I thought if she became a PJ, I would become the second ‘boogie man’ to come for her. This appealed to me. I saw that the alarm connection under the house, or ‘hot wire,’ would have been difficult to get to but not impossible. I could disable the system and be inside, waiting for her. But I didn’t do it.”

He could easily get into and out of a home, taking items that no one would miss, including female underwear that he planned to use during his bondage sessions.

“I believe that early ‘Disneyland’ [indulgence in self gratification] grew into unquenchable habit. My hunts and naming the PJs added a spy-type persona. I had codes and a cover story. Living two lives became very normal, White Hat and Black Hat. My art moved into bondage drawings, something I could keep, review and collect. Later, I added Slick Ads and 3"x5"cards, building [a collection of] ‘Fantasy Slick Ad Women.’ I had an addiction to women’s magazines. [In my fantasies] I thought of myself as a hero.”

He had a few more projects that failed to work out.

“There was PJ Waco in 1978 or 79, an attempt on a lady in a corner house. She started to come through the front door. I grabbed for her, but she pushed back and screamed, and I was out of there. I retreated fast and hid my hit items, so no one would find them on me. I later came back for them. I tried the door of PJ Delano several times, but she had a questionable routine. Another one like that was PJ West Lincoln, and it was also too far to drive to for trolling properly. PJ Crest, near the Crest Theater, offered that parking lot for my car. I watched the house, but it was difficult to figure out the routine. I had quite a few projects in other cities as well: Newton, Topeka, Manhattan, Dodge City, Pittsburg, Great Bend.
