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.

Well sort of!......It's a variation of releasing the butterfly so that it can live and come back to you. Metamorphosis you know! You'll never know how many times we parents release our children to God and His wonderful plan, until you have one of your own ala: "W" and "payback-Jenna" (as her grandmother our first Grand Lady, named her).

wow, you're right on that... i didn't see the presser but it sounds like it was quite the circle-je.... well, you know! However, I think what some of those on that other forum discount, is that more than likely with law enforcement doing what they've been doing as of late, that opened the daughters eyes to the possibilities that this guy was right under her own roof.

If someone at KSNW, they may have a libel lawsuit coming. You can't lable them the killer until they are found guilty.

Yes, it is a mess. The death penalty is thrown out because of small technicalities. Our legislature wants to correct the problem; however, that might create a problem. The seven or so people on Kansas' death row are off the hook, pending appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court. If the lower court's ruling holds, they are commuted. If the legislature acts before the courts settle the matter, then all of the death row convicts get another trial at minimum.

The D.A. in Wichita, among others has requested that the legislature hold off on fixing the death penalty until the court can rule. This is the same D.A. that prosecuted the Carr brothers (five murders, four in a single incident).

The Carr case was one of the most wicked, cruel cases I have ever read about..

Sounds more like blind luck than great detective work to me..

Of course it was; these donut holes accomplished zip for 30 years, then all of a sudden the evidence walks in the door to solve the case.

So of course they round up all the suits for the Golden Doughnut Awards on TV to congratulate each other for opening that door so the evidence could walk in.

I agree. The idea that they might get another trial, and that the surviving victim will have to go through it all again makes me sick.
