'People are only feeding their egos'
They "should not be celebrated or worshipped," Rawson told Newsweek. "In doing so, people are only feeding their egos." She opened up about how her father, who called himself BTK for 'bind, torture and kill', began getting love letters while at the Wichita jail. This is where he was being held after his arrest in February 2005. "He's perpetuated it, with his own prolific letter writing, art work, and making back end deals through the murder memorabilia black market," she said.
"In some cases, particularly with women over the years, I've seen unhealthy attachments arise with my father," she continued, claiming that some may have had hybristophilia. "Bottom line, my father is a dangerous sexual sadistic psychopath, a pathological liar, and a narcissist," she said. "People need to remember that when communicating with him, and others like him."
Kerri Rawson concerned prison officials don't check everything thoroughly
Rawson said she is concerned officials do not check everything thoroughly, although correspondence is monitored in jails and prisons. "Love letters to a prisoner are frankly quite low on their list of concerns, and should be, when taken into consideration of much larger needs," she said.
Rawson said that people sending letters to these killers are creating a risk for themselves. "I'm not sure that fans writing someone like my father, or potentially Kohberger, are aware that in fact they are putting their own lives at risk, by sharing their addresses and private information," she said.
It has been revealed that Kohberger returned to the crime scene area and may even have stalked the homes of his victims about 12 times before the attack. His cell phone pinged its location in the area of the house where the crimes were committed at around 9 am on November 13, which was just five hours after he killed the students. He was eventually arrested, and now reportedly plans to fight the probable cause evidence in a June 26 preliminary hearing, according to his attorney, Kootenai County Public Defender Anne Taylor.
