Rawson had previously stated that the professor in question, Dr. Katherine Ramsland of DeSales University, had or still has both an academic and a friendly relationship with her father.As far as similarities between the two men go, like Bryan Kohberger, Rader was also a criminal justice graduate. His first victims were a family of four who had been strangled to death in their house in 1974. Rawson said:&quot;Personally my first reaction was just like my stomach turned and I literally physically got ill knowing that there was now a connection back to Ramsland and she connects to my father.

The university says Kohberger had completed his first semester as a PhD student in the criminal justice program.In subsequent emails to TMZ, Dennis Rader has, however, denied having any connection with the suspected killer. Nevertheless, he agreed that Bryan Kohberger shares some of his traits, which are characteristic of his &quot;dark mind.&quot; One of Rader's own murders, a quadruple homicide in the same house, is eerily similar to the murders of the four University of Idaho students - Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.NewsNation@NewsNation“I had no idea that true evil was genuinely watching them” - Alivea Goncalves, sister of Idaho victim Kaylee Goncalves, on Bryan Kohberger’s cell phone data. #Idahofour31120“I had no idea that true evil was genuinely watching them” - Alivea Goncalves, sister of Idaho victim Kaylee Goncalves, on Bryan Kohberger’s cell phone data. #Idahofour https://t.co/7ibrsQYlytThe BTK Killer further stated that he believes Kohberger would lie in wait for his victims, stalking them and casing their homes. All of this, he said, was &quot;much like I did.&quot; Additionally, he drew parallels between the 1974 murders of the Otero family and the deaths of the Idaho students, and said:&quot;Murder four, much like the Oteros, up close and personal stabbed.&quot;Just as Kohberger had a knife sheath with his DNA at the crime scene, Dennis Rader also left bodily fluids on the body of one of the Otero victims. It took years of technological advancement to link the DNA left behind on the crime scene to Rader, but the same did not happen with Bryan Kohberger.While there has allegedly been no contact between Bryan Kohberger and the BTK Killer, the latter thinks that the suspected Idaho killer was highly influenced by him.
