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.

Could he have sublimated his urges by "controlling" and killing animals as part of his official duties?

This is VERY possible. But I think it would be more close to displacement, as sublimation is usually of a more positive nature and is a conscious mechanism.

On the other hand, displacement is more of an unconscious mechanism that goes on beneath the surface of our consciousness. Here's a good website to read:

I think this is rewarding the serial killer and giving him what he has beebn after for so many years. Just as if to recap or highlight a great sports game. Very scary to me.

Just heard that on Fox..and it wasn't Rita Cosby or Geraldo or Greta who said it..It was one of the main newsmen..

I am a crime and trial buff and know how wrong the talk shows and media can get it..I stopped listening to the TV garbage except one reporter who played it straight during the Peterson trial..I read the transcripts.

A different Rader, I think.



I agree but I've not been able to find anything out to confirm it yet... I've even tried to find info the group that sang/played but can't find them on the net..... a picture would be helpful.

Now someone on the Kansan boards demanding an apology for criticizing the 'Wichita Golden Doughnut Awards' that we were forced to watch this morning.

Check out the link above about how he and his whole family moved to Florida and traveled in some musical show. The date he moved was 1978, which I believe was the last murder in Wichita until striking back there again in 1985.

I'm sure the authorities are busy checking out any unsolved murders around the country where he was at the time. brrrrrrrrrrr

No wonder Rader was on the loose for 31 years, the Golden Doughnut squad couldn't even come up with this name until one hour in the awards show!

but I see now others doubt it's him....I haven't read the other thread, just the link to the story about that Rade family that moved from Wichita to Panama City...I thought it was established to be him.

Off to read that thread.
