They are the latest faces of heinous crime in our country: Dennis Radar, known as the B-T-K killer, and Joseph Duncan -- and they have been accused of torturing and killing many. As we have covered these two men and their actions, the question keeps surfacing: Why do they do what they do? [...]
Dr. Kenneth Lindsey/Clinical Psychologist: "For a long, long time we've been searching and people the world over have been searching to explain these adherent behaviors."
