Daughter of BTK Killer Shares Harrowing Story in Netflix Documentary

In the past two years, director Skye Borgman has become a rising star in the world of Netflix documentaries. Her films, which have tackled topics ranging from true crime to the ethics of reality TV, have struck a chord with viewers worldwide.

Borgman's most recent project, "My Father, the BTK Killer," which debuted on Netflix on October 10th, 2025, examines the crimes of serial killer Dennis Rader through a new lens – that of his own daughter, Kerri Rawson. The 94-minute documentary weaves together interviews with the investigators who helped uncover Rader's identity with Rawson's personal reflections on her relationship with her father, both before and since his arrest and conviction.

Rawson, who has been vocal about coping with her father's brutal murders, has found the process of speaking publicly about her experiences to be both cathartic and challenging. "I think part of Kerri's journey and part of her healing is with speaking publicly," says Borgman. "She also gets a lot of backlash from speaking publicly, but it's part of who she has become, and I think it's part of what really drives her forward."

Borgman's unique approach to storytelling, which often focuses on the "confusion" that draws her to a particular project, has resonated with audiences. Her ability to craft compelling narratives out of complex and often disturbing subject matter has made her one of Netflix's most sought-after documentary directors.
