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.

Exactly. He said something stupid such as the brother should have "talked to" the bomber.
Even the cable networks couldn't take it anymore!
Yep that certainly explains the caution.
My local KC station cut away as well. I was on the telephone with my sister, though, and so she held the phone up to her television, and I was able to hear the whole thing.
Someone on the Kansas.com board now saying that Rader/BTK also worked at a Wichita Heights high school as a groundskeeper..
Ask David Gelernter what he thinks about 'talking' to a madman.

I have read many posts over at DU where they condone soldiers killing their officers and that they would understand if someone killed the president. I think that is pretty close.
But in the meantime, I got in on the awards that Mayor Bergquist presented. The service awards went to Chief George Capps for 15 years, and to clerk Judy Ferguson, J.B. Brashear, Eric Miller, Randy Berry and Dennis Rader, all for 10 years. Congratulations to all of you, and to the rest of the city workers. Without you to pick on, I wouldn’t have much to write about. All kidding aside, you are the backbone of Park City and we are very proud of you. Keep up the good work, and while we are on the subject of the city crews…
Well, I thought about it but decided it would be difficult to get health care.
That confirms it..
That is the cutest column..
I looked up Dennis Rader on Lexis-Nexis and unfortunately he's a Republican! Ouch!
Troll?

Don't know and don't really care..... It's only made five post four of which were articles and the one reply on this thread...
I only question what differenc does it make and it seems to think there was something there.... I don't.
I agree. What was it? Ten years since the last murder?
I looked at your sign on date, and I suspect you're a DU'er.
The reason you never "paid attention" to this killer and his crimes is that for 30 years the national media ignored the story because it was occuring on a non east or left coast "backwater" like Wichita. If it doesn't happen on the coasts it doesn't happan as far as the media is concerned.
If this killer had operated in NYC or LA the national media would have covered it into the ground until the killer was found. Rader is responsible for his crimes but if the national media had focused more on it, like they have done with other small scale crimes, something about the MO or BTK's messages might have rang a bell with someone and been caught before he killed others.
If you ever wonder why the media focuses on some local crimes and ignores others, it usually has to do with the color of skin of the perpertrator or the geographic region where the crime took place. I'm still waiting for Van Sustern or anyone else to do a story about the african american murderer of 12 (or more) women in KC, the most prolific serial killer in Missouri's history, oh, but kill a mother and her unborn child in Modesto and you will have 24/7 coverage on all media for 2+ years.
