Synopsis
On January 15th 1974, 15 year old Charlie Otero’s life was
destroyed. He came home from school to find his parents and two of
his younger siblings murdered in their own home. He didn’t know it
at the time but the Otero’s were the first victims of the serial
killer who called himself B.T.K. (Bind. Torture. Kill).
Charlie’s story is one which eventually culminated with the
arrest; conviction and imprisonment of a man named Dennis Rader 30
years after the Otero’s were murdered bringing a reign of terror
that spanned three decades to an end. Rader had committed many more
murders and taunted the police and community of Wichita, Kansas
throughout the 70’s and 80’s.
Told through the eyes of the oldest, surviving son of B.T.K.’s
first victims, this is a unique, but horrific, take on the notorious
Strangler’s mystery. Charlie is more than a living victim and we
follow his story from despair to rebuilding his life.
This true life exposé documentary about Charlie and his lifelong
search for justice is a harrowing portrayal of the devastating
effects of one man’s murderous actions.
