In order to establish authenticity, an identity needs to be grounded in something that can be its point of reference (Baym 107), however, the characters these entertainers portray lack this sort of anchorage, in embodiment and in terms of name, as they are often anonymous and fleeting. On the other hand, the entertainers’ identities are carefully associated with their physical presence in the outros. Juxtaposed against the personas that the…

Ten people in the Wichita, Kansas area between the years 1974 and 1991 were brutally murdered by Dennis Lynn Rader a.k.a the BTK Strangler. After years of fear and horror the BTK Strangler was identified and captured by police.
