Who is Dennis L. Rader?
"He
was anything but a recluse. His job as a city code enforcement
supervisor required daily contact with the public, and he even appeared
on television in 2001 in his tan city uniform for a story on vicious
dogs running loose in Park City. Before becoming a municipal employee,
Rader worked for a home-security company, where he held several
positions that allowed him access to customers' homes, including a role
as installation manager. He worked for ADT Security Systems from 1974
to 1989 - the same time as a majority of the BTK killings (AP)."
Dennis L. Rader (born March 9, 1945) lives in Park City, a
Wichita suburb seven miles north of the city. Rader was born one
of four brothers. He grew up in Wichita and graduated from Wichita
Heights High School. Rader spent four years (1966 1970) in the U.S. Air
Force as a mechanic, including time in South Korea, Turkey, Greece and
Okinawa. He attended Wichita State in the fall of 1973.  There he graduated in 1979 with a major in Administration of Justice.
From 1974 to 1988, Rader worked at ADT Security Services, a home
security company. Rader was the census field operations supervisor for
the Wichita area for the 1990 federal census.
Since 1990, Rader has worked as a supervisor of the Compliance Department at Park City. In
this position, neighbors recalled him as sometimes overzealous and
extremely strict. Rader served on both the Sedgwick County's Board of
Zoning Appeals and the Animal Control Advisory Board (1996 - 1998).
He had been a member of Christ Lutheran Church for about 30 years and
had been elected president of the Congregation Council - a position he
still holds as of March 15, 2005. He was a Boy Scout and Cub Scout
leader for decades. Rader is married to Paula Dietz Rader. They have
two adult children, Brian and Kerri (Rawson).
