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).
