Associated Press


WICHITA, Kan. - The man arrested in connection with the BTK serial killings has confessed to at least six of those killings so far, The Associated Press has learned.

Investigators now suspect the BTK serial killer may have been responsible for as many 13 killings - including at least one killing after the death penalty was enacted in Kansas, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told AP on condition of anonymity.

Dennis L. Rader is being held on a $10 million bond in connection with the deaths of 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Police had long linked the BTK serial killer to eight murders, but added two more after Rader's arrest.

Now police suspect the BTK killer in the deaths of two Wichita State University students as well as a woman who lived down the street from another known BTK victim.

Thanks for the data. I would be surprised if this count does not go up higher. DNA is a wonderful tool and I have a hard time believing this guy could hold himself at bay since 91. Just my opinion.
