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 apologize for my part in perpetuating the false story. I thought when the link was provided up thread it had been established to be related and so commented about it and then very quickly realized it was misinformation.
It looks like he won't be eligible for the death penalty because it was reinstated in 94 and now they are having a moratoriam or some kind of legal challenge going on.
the daughter who apparently has a website at KSU, if she is the right one....
Yep.
...animal CONTROL. The sicko liked tying people up before strangling them -- having power and control over them, before the killing and sexual release.
The timeline I have says she is older..I have no idea.
That Kansas.com thread reporting Rader has a son serving in Iraq.

He started out studying for a law enforcement job. Wannabe LEO ends up as a dog catcher. Looks like his ego couldn't handle his failure (rejection?), and he struck back at both society and the authorities.

Someone who knows that R family said if you find more about them (the singing ones) that you'll see the ages are 10+ years off (with singing DR being younger than arrested DR) and that he is good friends with the family, etc. (the singing ones)...that's all based on someone over on kansas.com but from what I could find, it does appear they are different R families. If that helps...?
This deal with the wife puzzles me. Was she trying to conceal or cover up evidence?
MOTHER NOW ARRESTED?
Interesting claim.....may be legit or it may just be some sicko posting false info on a board.
It will get out to the media soon if true.
