Summary
A Florida judge issued a domestic violence injunction against Kerri Rawson and temporarily gave her ex-husband full custody of their two teenage children, limiting her contact to electronic communications.
Darian Rawson's petition said she repeatedly warned that he and the children were about to be murdered, including at an Altamonte Springs police station on Jan. 5, 2025.
A 911 call later reported shots fired, active shooters and three deaths at an apartment complex, but responding officers found the family safe; police then located Rawson at Orlando International Airport and took her to a hospital.
Court records cited by the New York Post said she was later detained under Florida's Baker Act, and her ex-husband also alleged she violated the injunction by contacting him despite the no-contact order.
Rawson became a victims' advocate and author after her father, BTK killer Dennis Rader, pleaded guilty in 2005 to murdering 10 people in the Wichita area.
