He's pleading guilty



Saving Wichita taxpayers millions of dollars and likely slamming the door on a full explanation as to why he committed his crimes, Dennis Rader -- better known as the BTK killer -- pleaded guilty to 10 charges of murder this morning in court.

"In an extraordinary hearing, Rader said he killed because he wanted to fulfill sexual fantasies. He described the killings in detail in a voice devoid of emotion."

Sentencing will be held on August 17, but it's pretty unlikely it'll be anything less than a life sentence. I've been obsessed about the case for years, and am still somewhat amazed that a suspect was caught and will be punished for these crimes. The only question is, how many more did he kill?
