BTK claims he’s innocent in Cyndi Kinney case as ‘police have complete lack of solid evidence’

Serial killer BTK claims he is innocent in the cold case of the disappearance of 16-year-old Cyndi Kinney in Oklahoma in 1976, as police have a “total lack of hard evidence,” and she disappeared a decade earlier. that he visited Oklahoma.

BTK, whose legal name is Dennis Rader, is known for “tying up, torturing and killing” his 10 victims in Wichita, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991.

Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader, disappeared on June 23, 1976. Authorities questioned whether Rader, who had killed five people at the time, was involved, but never said why they thought the killer was involved.

Rader, who confessed to killing 10, has denied any involvement in the Kinney case and said foxnews the ‘sheriff has what I call a total lack of hard evidence’ and that the young woman disappeared before he got to Oklahoma.

Investigators who questioned Rader, who waived his Miranda Rights, said he disputed various claims made to him and claimed to have an alibi to prove it.

Rader, who worked at ADT, a security services company, at the time, said ADT had no involvement in the area where Kinney worked.

‘bank prewired [was] it’s setting up nearby, but there’s no ADT work in Oklahoma from the Wichita office,’ he told Fox News.

In addition, he said he didn’t start working in Oklahoma until the 1980s, where he helped with Boy Scout camps and worked for the Census Bureau in the 1990s.

‘Give me a break,’ he said. I drove there on a whim to Osage County, from Wichita, when I had never been there before. I helped with the 1990 Census in Oklahoma, but the time frame doesn’t match anything I did.’

His daughter, Kerri Rawson, also doesn’t think Kinney’s disappearance is in line with her father’s typical style of stalking, trophy hoarding, and home invasion attacks.

“While it is my hope and prayer that this cold missing person case is resolved for Kinney’s family and friends, I in no way believe my father is connected,” he told Fox News. “And actually, I think he’s telling the truth about this, as he has been since 2005 about the 10 that he did commit.”

He also doesn’t believe his father had any reason to be in Oklahoma in 1976.

Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden said the investigation is too early to give details, but said they “will not leave anything uninvestigated.”

He claimed Kinney (pictured) disappeared a decade before going to Oklahoma, where he worked with the Boy Scouts in the 1980s and the Census Bureau in the 1990s.

“I can’t tell you if we’re going to find anything or not,” he told Fox News. ‘We hope to find something for closure and justice for the victims. But an investigation is an investigation; sometimes they go places. There may be some things that we feel we need to look into, and we’re following up on them.’

Rader murdered 10 people, including two children, in Wichita, Kansas, over a 17-year period. He was arrested in 2005 and is currently serving 10 consecutive life sentences in a Kansas prison.

He claimed there was a “demon” inside of him that “entered me when I was young” and “basically controlled me,” he claimed in a 2018 documentary.

When asked if he had any feelings for his 10 victims, Rader replied, “Yes, I do.”

“I mean, I have a lot of feelings for them,” she said. ‘I guess it’s more of an achievement for this item in the hunt. Or something like a high, I guess.

Rader, who was a former church leader and hid his murders from his wife and two children, also revealed in the interview that he began noticing his dark side in eighth grade.

He previously said that lust and a desire for fame and power drove him to the murder.

Rader evaded authorities for three decades, but continually taunted the police over the murders, which eventually led to his downfall.

He began communicating with Wichita police detectives via a floppy disk that authorities eventually traced back to his church.

Rader killed Joseph Otero, Julie Otero, Joseph Otero ll, and Josephine Otero on January 15, 1974. He killed Kathryn Bright on April 4, 1974; Shirley Vian on March 17, 1977; Nancy Fox on December 8, 1977; Marine Hedge on April 27, 1985; Vicki Wegerle on September 16, 1987; and Dolores Davis on January 18, 1991.

Rader recently said that he sympathizes with the suspect in the Idaho murders, Brian Kohberger.

Kohberger, 28, studied with the same psychologist who wrote the book on Rader, Dr. Katherine Ramsland.

The killer said he sympathized with Kohberger, who has been in solitary confinement pending trial.

His daughter, Kerri Rawson, told Fox News.com that her father said: “Since I spent February 2005 to April 2005 alone in a cell, I know how it feels, very lonely.”

Rader added that he spent time with his defense attorney and found ways to pass the time and wanted to review “everything” prosecutors had on him, despite having confessed on the day of his arrest.

Rawson revealed that his father was “back and forth” between pleading guilty or not, adding: “One difference is that the father confessed and seemed relieved, while Kohberger has to feel very lonely.”

She added that she has seen “fan mail” sent to Kohberger, which is very similar to what was sent to her father, explaining that women “are in love” with them.

BTK’s daughter previously said that Kohberger may have been in contact with her father after finding out that Dr. Katherine Ramsland had taught him while at DeSales University.

It’s something he’s since denied, as the pair are “close to each other” while he was writing the book “The Mind of a Murderer.”
