WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The man arrested on suspicion of being the BTK serial killer has confessed to at least six slayings and might be responsible for as many as 13 - including one that could carry the death penalty, a source close to the investigation said Sunday.

Investigators, who suspect Dennis L. Rader in a decades-old string of 10 slayings, are looking into whether he was responsible for another three killings- including at least one that occurred after the restoration of the Kansas' death penalty in 1994, the source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Rader made the confession Friday, the day of his arrest, according to the source. "The guy is telling us about the murders," the source said.

Police spokeswoman Janet Johnson declined to comment on the accuracy of the source's statements.
