I saw where he said that on the View. It's amazing where stories can come from, isn't it? All a good author needs to do is pay attention. And there's none better than himself.
He also wrote about it in the Author Notes in Full Dark, No Stars.
I remember when the story broke about the Rader case, so many people were in awe of how he could have hidden his crimes from the family. People keep secrets from their families all the time. It's no different from cheating on your spouse, how many people out there have managed to do it for years without ever getting caught?? Happens all the time. Just re-arrange your schedule, make a few well thought out excuses and logical explanations and most people carry on without questioning you. People never fear the worst until you give them a reason and from all accounts this guy was a pretty good actor.
Movie looks pretty good.

Hello! Mr. one of the Masters of Modern Horror. Don't blame me for using the title given to you by peers and fans. Cherish the admiration and no calling yourself the Ultimate and Undisputed Master and King of Modern and Traditional Horror Literature.
In any case, Mr. King...Stephen, if I may...keep in mind that Jack the Ripper was likely never caught because the private name of Jack the Ripper was Charlene. Yes, he was a she and a very jealous mistress of the Prince who often soothed his sexual appetite resulting from high quality cocaine kicks with local hookers. At least, that was the idea to work with. The ending would have seen Charlie return to the future, as at the start, but still in the guise of a woman who turns over a new leaf after discovering her feminin side and turning to the science of psychology. But that's me. I hope you have been considering options to assist with the Manson segment. Deema sends his love...in a psychopathic style of humor of course.

...or, as long suspected-"Jack" could be Aaron Kosminski, a 23 year old Jewish immigrant.....
...or perhaps Jack was a nobody except for being a true lover of No. 7 Jack Daniels.
Wasn't there a movie about him already. I think it was called the BTK murders or possibly killer? I have a vague memory of seeing it.
From what I remember of Mr. King's story and what he has talked about on the telly, this is more of a story of secrets in the family and especially about an unsuspecting partner.
I saw that story but i'm little suspicious about their proof. They build on a piece of clothing supposedly belonging to Catherine Eddowes, one of Jacks victims. But on the rather welldocumented crimescene the police noted everything that was on the crime scene. This piece of clothing, a shawl, is not noted. Things much smaller is on the list still to be seen in Londons police archives today but not that shawl. So how do they now it comes from the crimescene as they say. If it doesn't their case has a big whole in it. Also their DNA is Mitochondrie dna which is not as conclusive as regular dnatests but can fit several persons. Their whole argument needs to be seen through by some objective experts. And they got to explain that shawl.
Yeah, i know i was just digressing a little. It made me remenber that older one. This is a totally different thing.
AND AND...Mr. King wrote the screenplay, can't get any better than that, eh?
Exactly. Looking forward to it. Don't know when it will be released here.
Sai King under fire by daughter of the infamous BTK killer
BTK's daughter: Stephen King 'exploiting my father's 10 victims and their families' with movie | The Wichita Eagle

...agreed, it was just a name that has recurred most regularly in this mystery...
...cry lawsuit, and let slip the dogs of lawyerism...(all apology to the Bard)...
Your father is a public figure honey, it can't be helped. And seeing as she says she's read over a dozen king novels, I'd have to assume she's a horror fan, in which case, if she's ever Watched "Psycho" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" then she's guilty of the same thing, seeing as those movies were well known to be based on the life and crimes of Ed Gein, who's victims were just as real as her fathers.........I'd venture to say a good 50% of the genre in general has it's roots somewhere in real crimes....... But I'm assuming she probably thinks that's different.
