[learn_more caption=”National Geographic: The BTK Killer (2012) ” state=”open”]

Fascinating documentary from National Geographic that traces the horrific crimes of Dennis Rader, a.k.a ‘The BTK Killer’ and shows how ‘DNA profiling’ first established in Britain led to the eventual capture of the BTK Killer in Wichita, Kansas.

In one of the most significant CSI developments of the 20th Century, British investigators caught and convicted a murderer using DNA screening for the first time…. Colin Pitchfork raped and murdered 15-year old Leicestershire schoolgirls Lynda Mann in 1983 and Dawn Ashworth in 1986.

Find out how similar DNA techniques helped close a notorious Kansas cold case 20 years later, as the sadistic ‘Bind, Torture, Kill’ murderer Dennis Rader was finally brought to justice… NatGEOTV
