SERIAL KILLER: The BTK Strangler Monster |Bind, Torture, Kill| Part 1 of 2

SERIAL KILLER: The BTK Strangler Monster |Bind, Torture, Kill| Part 1 of 2
<b><i>Listener discretion is advised. </i></b><br /><b>SERIAL KILLER: The BTK Strangler Monster |Bind, Torture, Kill| Part 1 of 2</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Bind them. Torture Them. Kill Them. </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>A three step process in fulfiling one man’s sick and demonic sexual fantasies. So why share the story? Why do we give these monsters more attention and discussion? Because they took the lives of people who aren’t here to speak up any longer, yet we can. And we will, and we’re here to make sure nobody celebrates this monster, but rather- we can study and learn how to stop any future monsters from taking innocent lives. </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Here at Fire Eyes Media, Jen and I strive to be better victim advocates each case we share. For this purpose, we will be leaving out some graphic details per our discretion.</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>In Part 1 of 2, we dive right in to the timeline of the crimes and then we'll return in Part 2 all about who BTK is (yes, he's still alive). </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Jules takes the helm on this series! Don't forget to listen to Friday's Weekly Dispatch- Jen takes the helm this week!</b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Shout out the listeners who recently left us a 5 star review and rating! Jen and I celebrate each one! </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Jen will be at Advocacy Con in Indiana the end of March as a guest speaker and creator. </b><br /><b>Jules will be attending the True Crime Awards UK in London in June- Missing in Hush Town has been name a finalist for Podcast Rookie of The Year!</b><br /><b>Jules &amp; Jen will both be creators at True Crime Podcast Festival in Boston in July- use Hush20 for a 20 percent off code!
