Introducing the book that caught people by surprise:

My boss was

the BTK killer

   I was the next victim

 

Mary Capps

with Jim Dobkins

 

 

$14.95

 

“I look back on certain incidents and wonder how close Dennis was to choking the crap out of me.  You know, Christmas of 2004 for the first time Dennis gave me a Christmas present.  It is a Christmas ornament of a snowman with a scarf around his neck.  Do you think there is any significance?”

Mary Capps

 

This is the book you didn’t know about.  Even the mainstream press, including the Wichita Eagle, did not know Mary Capps’ story was coming.

But here it is—Mary Capps’ own personal account of how, every day, she walked toward the evil possibilities concocting in the monstrous, nasty mind of Dennis Rader, the hideous BTK serial killer.

Her boss.

On the day he physically menaced her in the office they shared, she begged for help from people who had taken an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Kansas, and the City of Park City, Kansas—city officials whose job and responsibility was to protect Mary.

They ignored her.  Called her crazy. 

Physical symptoms and emotional stress drove her into nightmares.

Her own body and mind were trying to warn her.  Danger was near.

And then city work crews began to tear up the street around her house.

Know what that meant to Dennis Rader?

This is the only book in which you’ll find the answer.

Oh, and the snowman Christmas ornament with the scarf snug around its neck?  You’ll find its meaning, too. 

 

What would you do if you found out your boss was a serial killer?

In this chilling read, Mary Capps interweaves events as they happened in her life in sequence with what the BTK serial killer was doing at those times.  When news broke that her boss—Dennis Rader—was BTK, she relived and relived every terrifying moment she’d spent in the presence of this evil. 

The nightmares had started months before his arrest, her sub-conscious trying to warn her of danger.  Then the nightmares intensified.

 

 

“This is the recovered Mary.  It took many months, and a good man in my life before I could smile again.  I want people to know the smiling Mary—not the deeply depressed Mary that was struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.”

 Former Employee of the
BTK Killer Speaks

Her Boss was a Serial Killer...
And She was Next

Mary reveals how her mother decoded Dennis Rader’s Project Broadwater—the designation he had assigned to his planned eleventh murder victim.  She also reveals how and why her boss could have been gradually poisoning her.  This would account for the symptoms that some afternoons would cause her to have leg pains, constricted throat, and spells of amnesia—the same symptoms that a certain date rape drug causes. 

All those symptoms unexplainably disappeared on the day after Mary’s last day working with Dennis Rader.  Mary does not believe it was a miracle.  She does believe, however, that someone at City Hall in Park City, Kansas has knowledge of documentation that would prove or disprove Mary’s theory.

 

Can you imagine working for a boss with eyes like those?  Mary calls them “dead beady eyes.”  The photo is a close-cropped enlargement of Dennis Rader’s mug shot, taken February 26—after 32-plus hours of interviews by members of the BTK Task Force.  Rader was sleep-deprived and ticked that he’d been caught, giving him a sinister appearance.

 

 

The day Dennis Rader cried

You will read about this most unexpected display of tears by Mary’s boss in chapter twenty-three, The summit conference.  This chapter starts on page 128.

On February 25, 2005 police arrested Dennis Rader—the man they had discovered was the BTK (Bind Torture Kill) Killer.  Rader’s violent and prolonged slaughter of four members of the Otero family in 1974 and subsequent confession to six other murders committed over 17 years, shocked the world—and Mary Capps was numbed and could not stop the resulting nightmares.

The millions of people who watched the Court TV telecast of Rader’s sentencing hearing August 17 and 18 in 2005—and watched him show no expressions or body signs of remorse for his despicable deeds—would be stunned by the circumstances in which Rader’s tears flowed.  Mary was totally surprised.

As a compliance officer for Park City, Kansas, Mary worked under Rader’s direct supervision for six and a half years.  She went into hiding after Rader’s arrest, suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

 

Now Mary Capps is telling her side of the story.  In this book:

My boss was the BTK killer

I was the next victim

Published by UCS PRESS

an imprint of MarJim Books, Inc.

Mary Capps gives an exclusive look at the man behind the monster, including:

  • How she sensed Rader was evil and why the Park City officials ignored her repeated complaints against him.

 

  • One of her biggest regrets—her aunt helped save Rader’s life, when he would have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

  • The strange events and phone calls that led her to believe she was, indeed, Rader’s projected eleventh murder victim.

 

  • Mary’s ongoing struggle with City Hall to clear her employment record of the negative reviews Rader submitted about her.

 

  • The only times she’d ever witnessed her boss render an act of kindness.

 

  • The extent her boss went to with his BTK codes.

 

  • How Dennis Rader was overjoyed upon hearing that Mary had turned in her resignation—and how his joy turned to anger when he found out his own boss had talked Mary into keeping her job as a compliance officer.

 

  • An event in which Mary wondered if Dennis Rader’s wife, Paula, wore the pants in the family.

 

  • The incredible extent her boss would go to keep from doing dirty work.

 

  • Dennis Rader’s shock when—only four days before his arrest—Mary asked him how his wife, Paula, had reacted to the murder of Marine Hedge, who lived only a few doors down the street from the Rader house.

 

  • The time when Rader locked the door to their office, blocked Mary’s only exit, and approached her as if in a trance.

 

  • How Rader was a man you could set your clock by, yet had many odd-ball quirks.

 

  • A unique observation of Dennis Rader, supervisor of the Compliance Department, Park City, Kansas, by Mary’s friend, an ex-cop, a man that Rader hated.  You will find chapter twenty-nine, "Looked guilty as sin", a fascinating read. 

 

  • The many, sudden, out-of-character, bizarre things her boss did in early 2005 in the weeks leading up to his arrest.

 

 

 

BTK impacted Mary Capps' life long before he became her supervisor

When the Otero murders were committed on January 15, 1974, Mary Capps was 18 days away from turning 14 on February 2nd.  Her family lived in the rural farming town of Potwin, Kansas, population about 500.  No bowling alley.  No theater. The town closed up at 6 p.m.  You knew it was 6 p.m. because a bell rang every day at 6 p.m.

People who’d never locked their doors before, began locking them—but just for a while.  They felt safe.  What happened in the big city, Wichita, about 40 minutes or so away, might as well have happened in another country.

A four-letter word described how the folks in Potwin felt:

S A F E.

Then Kathryn Bright was brutally murdered and her younger brother Kevin shot twice in the head, but survived.

A few more doors were locked in Potwin.

But it was truly a different world when Mary’s family moved to Park City, and Mary attended her senior year of high school in Wichita.  With the murder of Nancy Fox, fear and paranoia gripped the big city and abutting communities including Park City.  Mary and friends traveled in packs for protection.  They did not dance with strangers at the disco.  They wondered if the Hillside Strangler was going back and forth from California to Kansas, leaving strangled victims in his wake.

 

Her childhood daydreams morphed into nightmares

In May 2004, barely weeks after BTK emerged with his BTK Grams and the episode where he blocked Mary’s exit from the office, the nightmares began to torment Mary. 

She sensed evil around Dennis Rader.  She could feel it.  Almost see it.  Even almost taste it.

But she seemed to be the only one able to sense it.  Everyone else treated her boss like an afterthought:  “Oh, he’s just being Dennis.”

Things would happen.  Mary would complain to others at City Hall.  Dennis Rader’s version of the story always was the one accepted by city management.

In chapter one, An uneasy feeling, Mary reveals her trauma on the day her boss was arrested.  The Mayor and Dennis Rader’s boss summoned her to City Hall where, behind closed doors, they told her they could not tell her anything, that there was a federal investigation, and she was immediately put on paid vacation.  When she asked if she was the only employee being sent home, the one-word answer was, “Yes.” 

Mary spent a tortuous night trying to sleep, wondering what in the world she could be under federal investigation for.  The news announcement was made the next morning.  When Mary had first heard and seen the police tape in front of Dennis’ house the previous day, her first reaction was that some citizen had finally had enough of Dennis’ crap and either shot him or beat the hell out of him.

When the news soaked in that Dennis Rader was BTK, she wanted to vomit.  She went a week without sleep, reliving over and over all the times she’d said something that could have touched Rader off and he could have reverted to his BTK persona and killed her.

The day of the press conference revealing BTK’s identity, Jack Whitson called Mary, telling her to go into hiding and not to talk to the media, as she was of interest being a woman.  He didn’t express regret for all the times in the past he’d sided with Dennis, nor did he ask Mary how she was holding up.

After Dennis Rader’s sentencing hearing, Mary met with Whitson.  She asked if the negative employment reviews her boss had given her would be expunged.  Whitson said, “No.”

To Mary, Park City management valued the word of a serial killer, thief, liar, and psychopath more than they valued her six and a half years of dependable performance as an employee of Park City.

She did allow some interviews after Dennis Rader’s arrest, and turned down all opportunities to tell her story to tabloids and newspapers.  She stopped giving interviews and made the decision that the only way she could tell her whole story was to write a book.

The book was completed on May 21, 2007 and put in the hands of the printer the same dayFormal publication date for My boss was the BTK killer was July 10th.

The edition is in 6 x 9-inch trade paperback format, and retails for $14.95. 

The national news break for this UCS PRESS book was June 5th—the same day this web site was launched.

Simple:

How would you feel if you'd worked for six-and-one-half-years for your supervisor -- a notorious serial killer-- and he intentionally gave you bad job performance reviews?

PLUS -- after management realized your supervisor was a mass murderer, despite your pleas to have those bogus job reviews deleted from your employment records -- management refused to do it.

And still refuses to do it.

Would you be ticked?

Of course you would.

This is exactly how Mary Capps was treated by management at City Hall in Park City, Kansas.

Please help us get at least 100,000 people to sign this petition and put the pressure on management to do the right thing -- the honorable thing -- and erase this horrible blot on Mary's employee records.

Thank you.
