I agree,
@Idaho transplant, about BK and potential links to BTK. I wrote this post over a month or so ago, and decided to save it off until the time seemed right. Hopefully this is the right time, and it will be taken as always, MOO on potential links:
Since I have been asked on these threads a few times
why I think BK intended to murder 4 people in a residence that night (if he is guilty), this is one of them for which I'm offering the basis for my opinion.
BK could have planned for and been driven to commit a quadruple murder that night due to some other (and BTK's) crimes he could have known about and/or been influenced by and/or (I cringe to say) inspired him to copy some key aspects of other crimes.
IMO and MOO (
BBM):
BK could have emulated to commit his first murders as a quadruple murder with similarities to the BTK killer (Dennis Rader), whose first murder was killing 4 people inside their home (2 females).
In the case of Maddie and Xana, they were 2 females killed inside their home, and Kaylee (back staying at her recently 'previous' home for the weekend), and Ethan (staying over with Xana) were also killed, totaling 4 people killed inside the home.
The eerie links between Bryan Kohberger and the BTK, Golden State and Grim Sleeper murderers
“At the time of his arrest, Kohberger was studying at Washington State University just nine miles from the scene of the murders. He had recently graduated from DeSales University in Center Valley, Pa., where he was a star student of Dr. Katherine Ramsland, a forensic psychologist focused on “extreme offenders.”
The author of 69 books, Ramsland made headlines when she collaborated with infamous serial killer Dennis Rader — a.k.a. the “Bind, Torture, Kill [BTK]” murderer — on “Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer.””
Dennis Rader - Wikipedia
“On January 15, 1974, four members of the Otero family were murdered in Wichita, Kansas.[32] The victims were Joseph Otero, age 38; Julie Otero, age 33; Joseph Otero Jr., age 9; and Josephine Otero, age 11. Their bodies were discovered by the family's three older children, Charlie, Danny, and Carmen, who had been at school at the time of the killings.[32][33] After his 2005 arrest, Rader confessed to killing the Otero family.[34]”
BTK (Rader) is quoted as saying he thinks the Otero murder case is similar to the Moscow murders and understands BK’s “dark mind”, and BTK’s daughter suspected BK may have tried to contact her father:
BTK Serial Killer Says Idaho Murder Suspect Shares Some Of His Traits
"Notorious serial killer Dennis Rader claimed that Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger shares some of his traits.
- BTK serial killer Dennis Rader said he understands Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger's "dark mind"
- Rader said he imprinted his DNA in the Otero murder case, similar to what the suspect in the Idaho killings did
- Rader's daughter suspected that Kohberger may have tried to contact her father
Rader — who called himself BTK, which stood for "Bind, Torture, Kill," the method he used to kill his victims — said in an email to TMZ that he understands Kohberger's "dark mind" and believes the suspect would lie in wait for his victims, stalking them and casing their home.
Rader claimed that all of this was "much like I did."
The BTK serial killer argued that the slaying of the four University of Idaho students in an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov.13, 2022, was eerily similar to Rader's gruesome 1974 murders of the Otero family in Kansas.
"Murder four, much like the Oteros, up close and personal stabbed," Rader told the outlet, although he asphyxiated four Otero family members."
