\u2018American Gothic\u2019 hits close to home for BTK\u2019s daughter<\/h1>\n

BY ROY WENZL<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important to remember that there are actual people who died, 10 people who lost their lives and 8 families \u2013 that\u2019s including mine \u2013 that were destroyed and forever separated by my dad\u2019s actions,\u201d said Kerri Rawson, Dennis Rader\u2019s daughter.\u00a0<\/span>Travis Heying<\/span>\u00a0File photo<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Gothic,\u201d a new CBS show this summer, is about a serial killer \u201cS.B.K.\u201d and possibly the killer\u2019s family. It looks as though it was inspired or at least informed by a serial killer familiar to Wichitans.<\/p>\n

Corinne Brinkerhoff, the show\u2019s creator, (a writer on \u201cThe Good Wife), said in\u00a0\u201cEntertainment Weekly,\u201d\u00a0<\/a>that \u201cGothic\u201d \u201creminds\u201d her of a case she grew up knowing in Kansas, about a church deacon and Boy Scout mentor who turned out to be a serial killer, unbeknownst to his own family.<\/p>\n

That sounds much like the story of\u00a0Dennis Rader\u00a0<\/a>of Park City, who in 2005 was arrested and identified as the serial killer BTK, who operated in Wichita from 1974 to 2005. Rader killed 10 people in and around Wichita, and for 31 years until his capture taunted police and the public by sending cryptic (and badly spelled) clues.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cGothic\u201d episode that ran Wednesday evening, it was clear that the show is about not only a serial killer but the dysfunctional and varied Hawthorne family of Boston. Two family members, snooping through the basement, find an Ikea box filled with silver bells, which look a lot like the little silver bells the killer S.B.K (Silver Bells Killer) leaves with his victims.<\/p>\n
