Police have uncovered new evidence in the decades old BTK Wichita serial killer case and are questioning a person of interest, according to sources close to the investigation.
Authorities scheduled a news conferece for 11AM Eastern Saturday to make an announcement in the case, and relatives of the killers victims would be briefed beforehand.
Some police sources have said that a 59 year old man was arrested Friday and linked to the case by a DNA sample.
Surveillance activites gave police 'their first big piece' of recent evidence, leading authorities to a vehicle and the person of interest.
Investigators also searched a house in the Wichita suburb of Park City Friday, siezing computer equipment.

Recalling the sniper shooters.........
Fox just said his daughter may have turned him in, she went to the authorities and gave them the DNA.
BTK arrested by doing a car stop..that is the first question answered.
CNN shows a picture of that Dennis Rader that freepers knew was the suspect's name.
So many of us have not followed the case via threads so would have had no idea until first, Freeper posts, and now credit to CNN for agreeing his name is important.
Husband came in to view this farce and suggests they ask about the weather to see if they'll comment on that.
Ah, pulled over in car and arrested? Is that what he just said?
His picture is on this thread and on the AMW website.
This really stinks.
Yep. I think so too.
CNN is bailing on the Awards Ceremony now.
During the time he committed these murders there was no death penalty as is now. (Sucks)
I live in wichita, and the news conference sounded more like a great big "lets pat each other on the back". I'm very glad they've arrested someone but the news conference was distubing to say the least. They do have reason to keep to a need to know basis, but this was past that. That is all I know.
Thanks, TexKat.
Must have missed it. Just is weird how they media is being so quiet. I thought they had conclusive DNA. OOPS FNC just listed his name.....never mind.
You can bet they are just pumping themselves up.
sw
I wonder why the daughter suspected her dad.....he liked to keep mementos from his victims, I wonder where he kept them.
The arrest or search warrant will give us the cause..if they don't seal it.
That poor girl. Her website shows the strength of her faith and I'm sure she was torn between doing what was right and wanting to protect her father. What a horrible decision to have to face.
Oh MY. I was on CNN which has gone to regular programming. Back on Fox now. That's amazing.
Husband just said all their back-slapping then really means nothing.
The daughter has a website? Link?
Her website??
What's the link to her web site?
