The murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Maddie Mogen shocked the entire nation, people who’d never even met these young people. But there’s one stranger who was struck particularly personally: her name is Kerri Rawson.
Kerri is the daughter of serial killer Dennis Rader, the infamous BTK Killer.

True crime and “true crime” may have finally intersected in the form of one suspected killer.
