The Defendant: I confronted her, told here there – I was a – I had a problem, sexual problem, that I would have to tie her up and have sex with her.

The Court: Mm-hmm

The Defendant: She was a little upset. We talked for a while. She smoked a cigarette. While the – While we smoked a cigarette I went through her purse, identifying some stuff, and she finally said, Well, let’s get this over with so I can go call the police. I said, Yes. She went to the bathroom and came – and I told her when she came out to make sure that she was undressed. And when she came out I handcuffed her, and don’t really remember whether I –

The Court: You handcuffed her?

The Defendant: Sir?

The Court: You handcuffed her? You had a pair of handcuffs?

The Defendant: Yes, sir, uh-huh, mm-hmm.

The Court: What happened then?

The Defendant: Well, anyway, I had her – I handcuffed her, had he lay on the bed, and then I tied her feet, and then I – I – I – was also undressed to a certain degree, and then I got on top of her, and then reached over, took either – either – either her feet were tied or not tied, but anyway, I took – I think I had a belt. I took the belt and then strangled her with the belt at that time.

The Court: All right. All right. After you had strangled her what happened then?

The Defendant: Okay. After I strangled her with the belt I took the belt off and retied that with pantyhose real tight, removed the handcuffs and tied those with – with pantyhose. Can’t remember the colors right now. I think I maybe retied her feet, if they hadn’t already – they were probably already tied, her feet were, and then at that time masturbated, sir.

The Court: All right. Had you had sexual relations with her –

The Defendant: No.

The Court: -- before?

The Defendant: No, no. I told her I was, but I did not.

The Court: All right. So you masturbated. Then what did you do?

The Defendant: Dressed and then went through the house, took some personal items, and kind of cleaned the house up, went through and made – checked everything and then left.

The Court: All right. Ms. Foulston: Your Honor, for the record, the address?

The Court: He’s established it was in Sedgwick County. I don’t need an exact address. For purpose of this – It’s in Sedgwick County. Do you remember the address, Mr. Rader?

The Defendant: Oh, the Fox? Nice – 913 or nine oh – 903? No, I – I sure don’t. I know it was on Pershing – South Pershing. That’s all.

The Court: Here in Wichita?

The Defendant: It was nice – It was nine something, sir, but I don’t remember the other numb – digits. Ms. Foulston: It’s 843.

The Court: The address, as I said, is really not important as long as you remember it happened here in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.

The Defendant: Yes, sir.
