Episode notes
Creepy Hollywood House Visit
- Anna Faris hosted the crossover from her candlelit “mole room” filled with skulls and taxidermy.
- The hosts felt honored and weird to record in her Hollywood Hills home, noting the haunted-museum vibe.
Notoriety Led To Capture
- BTK’s need for notoriety drove him to re-engage with police and media decades after his crimes.
- That same craving led him to send traceable media (a floppy disk) that ultimately identified Dennis Rader.
Understand Legal Limits On Sentencing
- When discussing punishment and legal outcomes, understand plea deals and state laws shape sentences more than public outrage.
- Accept that death-penalty outcomes depend on statute, plea bargains, and prosecutorial choices.
