Peace & strength to Charlie. He went thru so much ðŸ™ÂðŸ™ÂðŸ™Ââ¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸Â
I remember reading his story in Reader's digest in 2008 ðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘Â
When people go and say serial killers are "super intelligent" and "interesting" I always think that's ridiculous. They're sly but they're not intelligent. It's so much easier to destroy than to build up and gather up strength and move on from tragedies like this man did. That's real mental effort. Think about the lamest thing like baking a cake and decorating it and how much easier it is to simply smash it. It's easy to destroy others and be oblivious of all the permanent damage you have caused to tenths of families, including your own. To me, narcissists will always be stupid.
God bless this man â¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸ÂðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â
What a sick sick man Dennis was.
He named his first child after his little brother that was killed wow
Charlie, you've been through hell but you pulled through. Thank God.
I cant imagen how it is to find your parents and siblings dead on the floor of your own house
God bless you, Charlie.
And your entire family.
Charlie Otero my Brother. Love you and respect you so much. You are truly family to us. Always have been. See you soon Brother.
Well he's just the floppy disk failure now anyway. As soon as they push him to general pop they will kill him.
Bless you.
I dont believe he killedwhole family alone,mrs Ottero was soldier,with big stature,he never let Radder didi it,so his wife had brown judo belt these thought have also Charlier otero that Rader coudlnt be alone at that crime
It is so bizarre that most of the time your brain doesnt process trauma until a few years after the incident.
God bless him he is some man.
God bless you Charlie. I know your family is in heaven very proud of the man you became.
Anyone who claims the death penalty is bad because it's inhumane should experience life through this man's eyes before spouting their nonsense.
I would love to know how the rest of his siblings are doing. Sending so much love to the surviving Otero family.
The hate I harbored in having a family member killed at a young age in a brutal way , knowing the killer is free . our lives have taken a similar path. I can only imagine having 4 loved ones killed like that …the hate , resentment , crave for revenge . God bless man
So glad Charlie changed his life around despite the trauma. God bless you Charlie Otero.
You poor man.
I couldn't imagine what it was like walking into his house that day… god bless this man for overcoming this difficult situation hes had to live with
Why was he in jail? What did he do?
The most unbelievable story I have ever heard my god
Excellent show of moral respect.
Mom an dad must have been awesome, they did well even though your time with them was short. Bless you an everything you love.
As if finding your parents murdered wasn't traumatic enough then years later as an adult, to find out your son has been almost killed by getting hit by a car
If only Dexter exists
This man is a much stronger man than I. Honestly, if this happened to me I would have gone into and alcoholic stupor and never would have been able to recover from it. I would have drank myself to death period. He is very admirable.
God's path to the human heart has always been through tragedy, terror and suffering.
Serial killers should be executed with extreme prejudice.
Revenge is a two sided road my friend. Glad your son is okay.
This poor man. This is horrible!
im a muslim charlie i pray fatiha to ur family every week
its a prayer for the dead in islam inshAllah (God Willing)
they go to the highest rank in heaven Amin….
Poor guy. such lovely kids taken away by such an evil cold satan monster…
How can he survived?
Poor guy. Can’t even imagine.
I can feel what kind of pain you endured throughout your life.. unbearable pain it is…you had a Happy family and you lost everything overnight..you were isolated and alone , oh my god i can't even imagine it.. 😢
I guess god didn't give a shit about his family, letting them get butchered. I find it hard to believe there is a god when people like BTK exist.
Amen Dios es grande usted es un hombre guerrero y valiente. Dios bendiga su familia y los protejaðŸ™Â
I remember when he came to my school and talked only to find out my grandparents lived next door and my dad and aunts were friends of his. Rader was my Boy Scout leader shit is wild I was so close to a killer.
Amen charlie. Certainly a change in you from your prison interview. Ive lived angry for thirth2 years as well. Im commi g arrround thanks to gods grace and love
Life is full of Random events, good & bad! And it Comforts the soul to say God is behind it but where was God during the murders and where was God during 9/11 attacks, Call it Nature, Nature has its checks & balances, Animals kill to survive & the fittest survive! Humans kill for greed &/or mental illness, Animals & Humans die for from a whole range of illnesses thus controlling population growth that's a natural course of evolution! Imagine a world where everybody that has ever lived survived it would be massively overcrowded and resources could not sustain it!!… Let's hope there's a special place in hell for all murderers!
Kerri Rawson needs to give proceeds from her creepy book to these families.
Jesus this poor guy has currently lived twice his parents age
What a testimony. Praise God
bless you charlie i wish i could take away your pain !!
God bless you. I’m so sorry you went through that
