Didn't this guy start communicating with the press recently and that's what got it started?

If so, sounds like he wanted to get caught or was bored.

Yeah, he actually sent some evidence from one of the victems to them.....Maybe: Catch me, please.....Before I strike again!

The only hard info Ive seen so far reported in the news media is that BTK/Rader was back to his old tricks communicating to the police through notes placed in books at local libraries.

A camera caught his car and licence plate number, leading to the traffic stop.

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

Cliff Van Zandt says he doesn't buy "wanted to get caught"..He could have just turned himself in..He blames it on the narcissistic need for attention, power..and he used to taunt the police..
I believe he took courses in law enforcement in college..read it yesterday.
He may have had some big stress in his life that got him communicating for attention again.
