Throughout the bombshell tell-all, Rader's psychologist, Dr. Katherine Ramsland, interacts with the famed murderer via phone call in which he details some of his brutal slayings and the thoughts and motivations behind his desires to "bind", "torture" and "kill" — the horrifying actions behind his nickname.

One of Rader's victims, Fox was only 25-years-old when he became obsessed with her. He broke into her duplex on December 8, 1977, then undressed himself and strangled her to death once she arrived home. The next day, he anonymously informed the police of her murder.

"Dennis Rader challenges the idea we have about serial killers," Ramsland explained in the chilling documentary, noting he had both a regular life and a twisted "fantasy" world. "He was a family man. He was a churchgoer, even a president of his church congregation. He had a full-time job. He was part of his community. So we have to be careful about some of the stereotypes we form about these kinds of offenders."

"He was an all-American boy," she continued. "The oldest of four boys in his family. He had an intact family and played on his farm. So where did it all come from?'

"If we have more people who are skilled at recognizing those aspects of a person that might lead them in a path of some criminal behavior whether it be a serial killer or whatever, if they can intervene, think of the lives they'll save," Lundin concluded.
