Earlier today, my friend said something about this fellow--some sort of serial killer, it seems--and I just realized something: I have heard of him before but that was years ago. Can anyone fill me in on this...disturbing individual?

Nothing? Nothing at all?

What does BTk stand for?If I knew maybe I could fill you in.JM

I believe it stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill"; it (aptly?) describes some nutjob who isn't very nice.

Is he still alive or is he a historic serial killer?

Still alive.

So what did he do that was so horrible?And why is he famouse?JM

Is this helpful, Feceman?

he was born in 1939 (which would make BTK around 65 years old in 2004), his family moved around often and always lived near railroad tracks, his father was killed in World War II and he was raised by his mother with the help of his grandmother, his mother dated a railroad detective, his grandfather played the fiddle and died of lung disease, he had a cousin named Susan who lived in Missouri, and he had once had a friend named Petra who had a younger sister named Tina

That is helpful, but, to be completely morbid, do you how how he has murdered people in the past?

I remember the name too......
Google it.

Ugh, I am afraid to do so.

Go here: BTK - Bind Torture Kill Strangler....

Yeah ive herd of him it was fed up its the most wanted criminal of 2004 he kills kids binds um tortures them and they die or he kills them its truly mested up.

and hes 64 years old?

" The BTK Strangler claimed credit for a series of seven murders in Wichita, Kansas in the early 1970s, then seemingly disappeared in 1977, and resurfaced again in March 2004 to claim responsibility for an eighth murder in 1986. BTK, which stands for "Blind, Torture, Kill," is the name the killer gave himself in communications with the news media and police."

In the past year he has sent numerous items to the Kansas media claiming to be the killer & to be still free, taunting authorities....

what he/she said. yeah hes 64 and kills kids.
