He did have at least two jobs where he traveled, so he was able to do a lot of those things while he was away.
Posted 2 hours ago and it is 12:40 am EST (USA) 9/2. New disturbing drawings shown, Jean Casarez reports. (ETA this header)
How about heading out to a 'non-existent' Scout Meeting or Scout Camp??That part confuses me too, but I bet he had lots of excuses that his wife didn't question until years later. If someone is devious they are more than capable of doing all kinds of crap and hiding their life from their family.
Totally thought this too.How about heading out to a 'non-existent' Scout Meeting or Scout Camp??
He was involved in Scouting and he may have used such an excuse to get out of the house without suspicion.

At least one of his murders was done in association with a Scout campout, where he was with his son. ISTR that he told the other leaders that he had to take care of something at home, and when he came back a few hours later, they didn't question him. Chances are, the campground was in or near Wichita so it wasn't like he had to travel several hours to get back there.How about heading out to a 'non-existent' Scout Meeting or Scout Camp??

Like I've said elsewhere here, he also worked for the 1990 census, which required some traveling, and the security company sent him out of town many times.How about heading out to a 'non-existent' Scout Meeting or Scout Camp??

This reminds me of that Samuel Little guy, who remembered what all his victims looked like and drew them in crayon, and several unsolved murders have been attributed to him, whether before or after his death.“We’re hoping that releasing these, someone might recognize one of these barns or the unique features in them, or the closeness of the silo to the barn or possibly might have even found items that they didn’t know why were there that could be very important in this case,” Virden told CNN.
“Even if the barn’s not there anymore. We would still like that information.”
Just recently, law enforcement intercepted communications from Rader in prison revealing there may still be some hidden items in old barns, according to the sheriff.
Rader often sketched, according to his daughter Kerri Rawson. He honed the skills in a college drafting class, Rawson told CNN.
I noticed it immediately. Like 12 year olds, maybe.these drawings are of very young girls. mOO
I think a lot of the murders were during the day, as I recall.I assume since I do not know his wife personally she must have trusted him.
What years did he attend the non-existent Boy Scot meetings?
If pre-internet it would be hard for her to confirm without calling someone.
Maybe she liked having time away from him so didn't ask a lot of questions.
What I would question is how did he sneak out at night, kill then return without her noticing.
I have to read up on this case, I'm a bit rusty.

Hiking Trips, Tree Houses and Boy Scout Campouts: Inside the Secret, Surprisingly Sweet Family Life of the BTK Serial Killer - E! Online
The murderer who bound, tortured and killed 10 victims in the Kansas suburbs was a monster with a predilection for controlling and destroying women. But at home, he was just Dad.www.eonline.com
He was on a scout camping trip with his son in 1991 when he made an excuse that he left something at home. Instead, he broke into the home of Dolores Davis, 62. He killed her, dumped her body and returned to the scout camp out.
He started murdering people during the early '70s, when there were no cell phones, etc. I doubt his wife knew what was going on, but his daughter talks of the "red flags" of past events, comments, that occurred to her after his arrest.
According to John Douglas who wrote a book about BTK , it is a great manipulator but it was discovered that there had been unnoticed signals in the family. For example ( if I remember correctly), his young son had stumbled upon horrible drawings , but he had not dared to say anything .It was much easier to go undetected without security cameras, GPS trackers, cell phones, and the Internet.
It was probably much easier for him to lie to his wife. How would she know what he was up too without following him or finding something at the house?

There is absolutely no evidence that his wife knew anything at the time. Hindsight? Yes. Her life was devastated by this.Makes sense. I mean in the 70's we didn't know a lot about serial killers then how would a young child know how to look for Red Flags? Except they may have felt something was off but no way to prove it.
I'm sure there are other cases where the wife was aware, didn't care, or was an actual accomplice.
