I lived in Wichita during the terror of BTK. Still live close by. It is wonderful this madman has been caught. Local channels are reporting the clue that caught this guy was contained in the envelope recently sent to the local Fox TV station. Supposedly it included a CD Rom with data that had been deleted (and they were able to recover) that led to Dennis Rader. You would think this guy would have realized deleting something didn't get rid of it forever. Also, local newspeople are backing away from the story the daughter turned in her father. Evidently she did give a DNA sample as reported.

Last night KAKE TV showed LE going through things in a shed at the back of Rader's house. One of the things shown was pantyhose stored in a zip lock bag. Couldn't tell what any of the other stuff was. Today's Wichita Eagle has six pages of stories about BTK. News reports this morning say Rader is cooperating. I certainly hope so.

I wonder what it would be like to be a wife and wake up to the fact that your husband killed 10 people, including children?..How do you cope with that?..

I am certain the town and church are in shock as well as feeling great relief.

Why can't monsters wear a sign instead of the mask of normalcy?

Thank you very much for the update and the ping.

This thread had gotten buried on my page and I was intending to look it up.

I hope he is cooperating, too. The details are so chilling, I can just imagine the relief in that area that he has been caught. If his family is just realizing it I can't even begin to imagine their horror.

I shall now catch up on the thread. Thanks again.
