NASHVILLE - After Oklahoma cold case investigators helped her uncover an entry in serial killer Dennis Rader’s diary suggesting he abused her when she was too young to remember, she confronted him behind bars.

Kerri Rawson visited her dad, better known as BTK for his self-styled moniker - bind, torture, kill - in a Kansas prison in October. It was the fifth time she’d spoken to him since he pleaded guilty to killing 10 in 2005.

"I sat feet across from you; you crumbled up, rotting away in a wheelchair, me standing tall and brave, and confronted you with the hard bare truth you had kept hidden from me for over four decades," she revealed on stage at CrimeCon 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. "You denied it, gas lit me, emotionally and verbally abused me, asked me what PTSD is; and then when I explained, told me, I had brought this all on myself."

Rawson, who became a victims advocate in the wake of her father’s murder spree, said her dad grew furious from his wheelchair.

"I thought for a minute I was sixteen again, fleeing your angry fists — I did get up and flee for a bit at the prison," she said. "But I came back, sat down, and confronted you harder."

Rawson agreed to voluntarily assist the Osage County, Oklahoma Sheriff’s Office in the decades-old death of Cynthia Dawn Kinney last year. Sheriff Eddie Virden has said he believes Rader may have been responsible.

Investigators asked Rawson to help decipher some hard-to-read passages in his notes, and she came across her own name written in capital letters: "KERRI/BND/GAME 1981."

"BND" is her father’s shorthand for bondage, she said, a method he deployed on the 10 innocent people he tied up and killed

"My stomach twisted into white hot lightning," she said. "There it was, after four decades, hard proof that you, my father, had sexually abused me when I was a toddler."

She said she found more similar notations later.

After reading them, she said, she believes that her father attacked more than the 10 victims he admitted to killing.

Rader kept notes on all of his victims as well as other people, which he referred to as "projects." Virden suspects that the project titled "Bad Laundry Day" may be a reference to the Kinney case. The teen was last seen alive at her aunt and uncle’s laundromat.

Rader, in previous letters to Fox News Digital, has denied any involvement in slayings other than the ones he pleaded guilty to. He could not immediately be reached for comment regarding his daughter's revelations.

He is in poor health, his daughter said, using a wheelchair and recovering from a broken hip and other ailments.

"Soon you will meet your maker," she said, speaking to her absent father from the stage. "You're going to have a few things to discuss. You will be gone soon. It is my last request of you, to give up the ghosts, if any remain."

Attorney General Merrick Garland will appear before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning to respond to claims the FBI planned to assassinate former President Trump during a search of Mar-a-Lago, as well as suggestions that the Justice Department was involved in the New York hush money case against the former president.

Garland will also push back on the committee's efforts to hold him in contempt, a measure that passed the committee but has not yet moved to the House Floor.

"Certain members of this Committee and the Oversight Committee are seeking contempt as a means of obtaining — for no legitimate purpose — sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations," Garland plans to say in his testimony.

A spokesperson for the DOJ said in a statement that the attorney general "will lead with the important work the Department has done under his tenure including decreasing homicide rates, prosecuting hate crimes, and fighting international terrorism, but he will also forcefully push back on false narratives regarding the Department’s employees and their work."

TRUMP LAYS OUT HIS 'REVENGE' STRATEGY AFTER CONVICTION MAKES HIM A FELON

Last month, Trump made false claims that Biden's DOJ authorized the FBI to kill him during the 2022 search for classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, in reference to an unsealed FBI document regarding the search. Trump was not home when the FBI executed the search.

"WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the 'Icebox,' and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden's DOJ, in their illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump's legal team also made a court filing citing the use of force authorization by the DOJ.

But the use of force that Trump's team cited in the court filing is the standard language used by the DOJ for years, and the same language was used when FBI agents searched President Biden's home for classified documents.

Garland will say in his testimony that the effort to hold him in contempt "comes as baseless and extremely dangerous falsehoods are being spread about the FBI's law enforcement operations."

Special Counsel Jack Smith said Trump's team omitted the key word "only" in the filing in late May that led to Trump's accusations that the FBI was prepared to kill him.

"Although Trump included the warrant and Operations Form as exhibits to his motion, the motion misquoted the Operations Form by omitting the crucial word 'only' before 'when necessary,' without any ellipsis reflecting the omission," Smith wrote. "The motion also left out language explaining that deadly force is necessary only 'when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.'"

Trump's team was given until June 14 to reply to a move by Smith to issue a gag order prohibiting Trump from making statements about the FBI.

Smith and Garland said Trump's statements put law enforcement in danger.

Garland will also testify against claims coming from Republicans that the DOJ had any involvement in the hush money case against Trump in New York, where the former president was convicted on 34 counts for falsifying business records.

The New York case was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, not the DOJ. It is a state case, which means Trump could not pardon himself if he wins the presidential election.

The measure to hold Garland in contempt "comes alongside false claims that a jury verdict in a state trial, brought by a local District Attorney, was somehow controlled by the Justice Department," Garland will say in his testimony. "That conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself."

Garland will say the measure "is only the most recent in a long line of attacks on the Justice Department's work."

"It comes alongside threats to defund particular Department investigations, most recently the Special Counsel’s prosecution of the former president," Garland says.

He said it also comes as individual career agents and prosecutors "have been singled out just for doing their jobs" and at a time "when we are seeing heinous threats of violence being directed at the Justice Department's career public servants."

Garland says these "repeated attacks" on the DOJ's are "unprecedented and unfounded" and that the attacks will not influence the department's decision-making.

"I view contempt as a serious matter," Garland says. "But I will not jeopardize the ability of our prosecutors and agents to do their jobs effectively in future investigations."

"I will not be intimidated," he adds. "And the Justice Department will not be intimidated. We will continue to do our jobs free from political influence. And we will not back down from defending our democracy."
