In this position, neighbors recalled him as being sometimes overzealous and extremely strict, as well as taking special pleasure in bullying and harassing single women. In May 1991, Rader became a dogcatcher and compliance officer in Park City. Rader was a census field operations supervisor for the Wichita area in 1989, before the 1990 federal census. He then worked at the Wichita-based office of ADT Security Services from 1974 to 1988, where he installed security alarms as part of his job, in many cases for homeowners concerned about the BTK killings.

He later admitted that he was pretending to be his victims as part of a sexual fantasy. Years later, during his "cooling off" periods between murders, Rader would take pictures of himself wearing women's clothes and a female mask while bound. Rader acted out sexual fetishes for voyeurism, autoerotic asphyxiation, and cross-dressing he often spied on female neighbors while dressed in women's clothing, including women's underwear that he had stolen, and masturbated with ropes or other bindings around his arms and neck. He also exhibited zoosadism by torturing, killing, and hanging small animals. įrom a young age, Rader harbored sadistic sexual fantasies about torturing "trapped and helpless" women. Both parents worked long hours and paid little attention to their children at home Rader later described feeling ignored by his mother in particular and resenting her for it.
