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.

We will come to know.....the DA was great person.....UGH!
Case was dead for 18 years until perp restarted communication with police. It's like playing hide-and-seek with a three year old - you have to pop out and show them where you are or it will go on forever.
I've been flipping around because I lost interest before they did.
I've never seen an arrest press conference where every elected and ambitious climber in the city was there to give speeches to applause. That was really weird.
Relax. He doesn't speak for anyone...not even the majority.
It was a stupid comment, easily ignored.
I'm not watching t.v. Why should I when I can watch FR? Spares me the aggravation and helps lower the blood pressure. This is one of the funniest threads I've seen in a long time.
I believe that was explained by the DA. She said they could not talk about it!
LOL!!!!!!
sorry about that, I was more or less fed up with being cussed at over a small joke. Not by you by others.
Husband in other room...has not been in here watching/listening but just called out during the latest round of applause "It sounds like an awards ceremony". I told him that's exactly what many others have opined.
thanks for admonishing...I have to work 3 times as hard due to assumptions like that.
This has to be a joke.
Well, since I'm not going to learn anything from the press conference let me ask this here. Given the time frame is it possible that he stopped murdering people when his children were born and then started up again when they went to college? Just curious...
And now, presenting the award for "Best Lucky Break After Twenty Years of Squat"...
Thanks---I expected this press conference to provide information and haven't followed threads on FR about it.
Will read your link.
Did I miss the "Live from the red carpet" thread?
looks like CNN is bailing out too
Really.
Now the law enforcement has been forced into political correctness. A SUSPECT is a damn SUSPECT. Sheesh.
Was Joan Rivers there? ;-)
What was even stranger, was when the police chief came up to speak, he said "good morning", and the audience said "good morning" in return.
I thought it was a church service.
