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.

I'm listening to local radio here in Wichita. The general opinion is that the "press conference" was a stupid political rally and a waste of time and money. Standing ovations for catching a guy who has been trying to get caught for a year? Whoohoo! Good job!! Clap clap clap clap. Oh you're great! Oh no you're even way more greater! Please. Frickin' ridiculous.

Looks like she's 26 and graduated in 2001, Kansas State U.

yeah, i went there too... she seems like a girl who has found comfort with God and He will help her through this....

Unfortunately, her world info. comes from ABC, CNN and MSNBC. Nevertheless, her relationship with HER God will carry her for a while. I'm sure she'll need it...

DH & I graduated in 2000. She does seem like a sweet girl from her website. I'm glad to see she knows the Lord. That is the only thing that will get her through this right now.

My first thought was if he was abusive to his victems did that carry over to his family, wife, daughter?

A daughter, who was not at home at the time, has sued Baltimore for $14 million.

Should be 14 Billion.

She suspected her dad for some reason....

I can't even imagine. I actually broke out in goosebumps when I read that the daughter may have been instrumental in breaking this case.

Unfathomable. Some will question a daughter doing that and if it was right. Watch. I remember the uni-bomber's brother being criticized by some loony lefties for breaking the so-called sacred bond of blood trumping all. A peek into their warped minds.

There are links all over this thread to her website and as of a few seconds ago it was still up.

Well, something had to make her think of her father, right? She seems, by her website anyway, a fairly even keeled girl. Then again, that's me looking at her website for five minutes... How the hell do I know how even keeled she was. I'm sure Jeffrey Dahmer could've looked even keeled on a website?

The question is:

Did she go to the police or did the police come to her?

Not that it makes any difference, but it should be known.

He was suspected in 8 maybe more murders and she is to be chastised for telling?..I don't think so. You are right, though, she will get criticized.

Fox now showing Dennis Rader's picture and saying info later.

"When are you pick up all those freaking branches??!!"

Way off topic, but they picked up the first load of mine a couple of days ago, and are supposed to be making one more round. I have a buttload.

These guys had a serial killer on the loose for 31 years and it looked like a city hall retirement ceremony in there

She hasn't been chastised yet....I just read here on FR that she may have been the one who broke the case.

But I am predicting some will criticize her. Hopefully I will be wrong.

I am with you MEG33, I will wait until the trial to get the true info. As much coverage as Fox News and other media outlets provided, much of it turned out to be false and misleading.

What if the police already had her DNA,somehow and it was a "close" match?
