Dennis Rader
The man who dubbed himself the BTK killer (the letters stand for "bind, torture and kill") has a name dominated by the number 8. People ruled by this number have a winner-takes-all attitude. They are competitive, ambitious, efficient and unafraid of challenges. At their best, they are strong and have the potential for greatness. At their worst, they are destructive and without compassion. In a 1978 letter, he wrote of killing, "It's a terrible nightmare but you see, I don't lose any sleep over it." The number 8 implies that Rader was bound for fame and recognition of some sort -- he just chose infamy instead.
