BTK Daughter Faces Domestic Violence Claims
29 Jul
Summary
- Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK killer, faces domestic violence injunction.
- Ex-husband claims she warned of danger to him and children.
- Judge granted injunction, temporarily awarding full custody.
Kerri Rawson, known as the daughter of serial killer Dennis Rader, faces legal action following a domestic violence injunction filed by her ex-husband, Darian Rawson. He claims Rawson repeatedly warned him and their teenage children of being in danger of murder.
A Florida judge granted the injunction, temporarily awarding full custody of the two children to Darian Rawson. The order also limits Kerri Rawson's contact to electronic communications and prohibits her from approaching the children's home or school.
The petition details incidents, including Rawson allegedly telling her ex-husband on January 5, 2025, that she had psychic abilities predicting immediate danger. She reportedly made similar claims to police, warning of impending harm.
Authorities transported Rawson to a hospital, where she was admitted. She was later taken into custody under Florida's Baker Act for a mental health examination. An incident report cited her history of making fabricated statements due to mental health issues.
Further allegations suggest Rawson violated the injunction by contacting her ex-husband multiple times after its issuance. Rawson gained prominence for her memoir, "A Serial Killer's Daughter," detailing her experiences growing up with Dennis Rader.
