The location where BTK called 911

This is the location where the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader, anonymously reported one of his own crimes.

Following Nancy Fox's murder, Rader was so eager for the authorities to discover her body that he reported the crime from a public payphone.

The payphone in question was situated close to the intersection between Central Avenue and St. Francis Street.

Rader knew this area because it was relatively close to a cafe that his work crew often visited.

Feeling "excited" and in need of attention, he called 911 and stated the following:

"You will find a homicide at 843 South Pershing. Nancy Fox."

During the short call, Rader masked his voice by covering the phone with a handkerchief. However, the authorities were able to trace the call back to this location because he left the phone dangling instead of hanging it up.

Following his arrest, BTK admitted that this was a risky act on his part.

He also recalled how nervous he felt whenever he heard the recording being played on the local news stations.

At the time, he was driving his company's work truck, which was noticed by a witness.

According to the witness, the man who made the call was roughly 6-foot-tall, wearing an industrial-type uniform, and driving a truck that had writing on the side of it.

Unfortunately, she wasn't close enough to read the writing on the side of Rader's truck. Had she been closer, it probably would have led the police straight to his doorstep.

Nowadays, the payphone in question no longer exists. The building it was originally attached to has been demolished and replaced.
