You knew we weren’t done yet. In Part 4 of the BTK series, we return to Wichita to cover the final set of Dennis Rader’s horrifying crimes—and the unraveling cracks in his double life. This episode picks up after the murder of Nancy Fox and carries us through the devastating story of Maureen Hedge, the rise of public awareness about BTK, and how close law enforcement almost came to stopping him in the 1970s.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of murder, sexual assault, grief, and abuse. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

This is the one where:

• Gen explains the infamous phone call Dennis made after Nancy's murder—and the random off-duty firefighter who almost blew the case wide open.
• Kait walks you through how BTK used a Cub Scout camping trip as a cover to kill his neighbor, Maureen Hedge.
• You learn how a tacky, awful poem almost made it into a Valentine's Day classified ad section.
• The Wichita Police Department finally goes public with the serial killer theory—and BTK's ego explodes.

It's brutal, it's dark, and it's frustrating as hell. But you also get:

• The grief and aftermath from Nancy's family
• Kerri Rader's eerily accurate night terrors
• Kait's theory on why Dennis should have been shot into a toilet at birth

All of this while he was a Cub Scout leader. A deacon. A father. A f*cking fraud.

Next week wraps the series with the real star: Kerri Rawson, his daughter, and a survivor in her own right.

Dennis Rader is back (ugh), and Part III picks up right where we left off in 1977: with a monster hiding in plain sight. In this episode, we dive into Dennis's bizarre mix of obsessive murder-planning (then abrupt & outrageous spontaneousness), the murders of Shirley Vian and Nancy Fox & cops finally starting to realize their is a serial killer amongst them, and Dennis getting a WHOLE lot bolder in his game of cat and mouse with police.

This is the one where:

• Dennis gets annoyed that 3 randos in prison try to take "credit" for the Otero murders so he leaves a letter for the newspaper in a library book
• Dennis commits his 7th and 8th murders (of single mother Shirley Vian and 25 year old secretary Nancy Fox)
• Once again Dennis gets annoyed that the police don't find one of his murders fast enough so he literally CALLS the cops about it.
• Dennis's heart falls out of his butt when his wife Paula goes "wow that sounds just like you" to his 911 call about a murder playing on the news

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, sexual assault, and mentions of self-harm. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

"That's Genevieve." "And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled. Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait dig deep into true crime cases with empathy, curiosity, and dark humor.

Campers… we made it. Today, we wrap up our dramatic reading of Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and WOW—what an ending. If you’ve been listening from the beginning (Episode 47), thank you for hanging in through every clue, red herring, and questionable accent.

In these final chapters, the truth is finally revealed: Poirot lays out his theory in full, the killer is confronted, and we learn just how far someone will go to protect a secret. And if you're anything like us … you did not see that twist coming.

If you're just tuning in now, this is the last episode in a full audiobook series. Start from Episode 47 for the full story (we’ll link the listening order in the show notes).
