his victim, shirley vian, 24 years old. in court he watched her young son walk into the house and spontaneously chose that family to victimize. >> i forced myself in, just opened the door and walked in and pulled a pistol. >> shirley vian was home with her three small children who rader corralled into the bathroom. >> the kids were really banging on the door, hollering, screaming. >> it's horrifying to remember that rader himself was a young father at this time. his own son was not yet 2. with the sounds of the vian children in the background, he said he simply worked as fast as he could. >> comforted her a little bit, tied her up, put a bag over her head and strangled her. >> in other admission that reveals rader's depravity, he told the psychologist the thrill had little to do with the kill, or for that matter with the victim herself. >> i don't think it was actually the person i was after, i think it was the dream. i know that's not really nice to say about a person, but they were basically an object. just an object. tha
