On July 13th 2007, a woman is found murdered in the middle of the night. Her husband, who was asleep upstairs, immediately becomes the prime suspect, but police have no idea that the true culprit, a masked serial killer, has already struck again, miles away, leaving a trail of crime scenes undetected along the Northeastern US. However, everything changes when he breaks into the bedroom of 15-year-old Shea McDonough, who will team up with her entire family to make sure the killer is brought to justice for all of his crimes.

Jeannie McDonough, Shea’s mom, wrote a book detailing her family’s intense ordeal and fight for justice titled “Caught in the Act: A Courageous Family's Fight to Save Their Daughter from a Serial Killer.” It can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.ca/Caught-Act-Courageous-Family...

It's 1978, and Ron Jenkins, a detective with the Huntington police department, suddenly straightens up on his couch at home, unable to look away from the TV. The popular "Dating Game" is on, where a young bachelorette, Cheryl Bradshaw, is blind dating 3 men, and Bachelor no. 1 is terrifyingly familiar to Detective Jenkins. That same afternoon, a parole officer called him to identify a suspected serial killer from a sketch, giving him a name: Rodney Alcala—that man is the same one who's on TV now, winning the show. However, the Dating Game Killer has no idea that his 8 year old victim from years ago is actually alive, and that she will be the one to ultimately take him down.

Serial Killer Outsmarts Cops - 30 Years Later 15YO Gets Revenge | The Case of Charlie Otero

"Why did you lie to me?”

By Unseen .Mar 13, 2024

See Full Bio

On January 15, 1974, 15-year-old Charlie Otero began his day like any other in Wichita, Kansas. His father dropped him off at school that morning, and everything seemed routine. But just hours later, Charlie returned home to a nightmare that would haunt him for decades. Inside his family home, Charlie discovered the bodies of his parents, Joseph and Julie Otero, along with his younger siblings, Joseph Jr. and Josephine. They had been brutally murdered.

The Otero family had become the first victims of a sadistic killer who would later be known as BTK—short for "Bind, Torture, Kill." With no evidence or clear suspects, the case plunged the Otero family into turmoil. Charlie, once an ordinary teenager, was left grappling with unimaginable grief and the constant fear that BTK might come for him next.

Meanwhile, BTK continued his killing spree, targeting more victims while taunting police and the media with letters detailing his crimes. Over the years, his messages grew bolder, mocking law enforcement’s inability to catch him. It would take 30 years to finally catch him, after taunting the police repeatedly, where Charlie would finally be able to confront his family’s killer face to face, and get his revenge.

Despite extensive efforts, the case went cold, leaving Dede’s loved ones to live with unanswered questions and lingering suspicions. Her disappearance became a haunting mystery that many believed would never be solved.

But everything changed four years later when another crime unfolded—this time just steps away, in the same apartment complex. Fourteen-year-old Jennifer Wertz was attacked but managed to survive a terrifying night that would alter her life forever. Her resilience and courage not only helped her escape the ordeal but also provided investigators with the vital clues they had been missing for years.
