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.

Other Boards are saying this is BTK 's (D.R.) own site, but its been taken down. Anybody know how to pull up a cached copy? http://www.freewebs.com/thebtksite

I can't find it through Google either. I wish someone more knowledgeable would hurry up and capture it before it completely disappears.

I've asked to save his browser cache here. Judging from his reaction at that reply, he was able to view it before it was taken down.

CNN dumps out. Andrea Koppel says "What we've been waiting to hear is who this guy is".

For once, I agree with Koppel.

They thought it was about to be announced but it was more applause.

What's wrong with the small guys getting their own awards ceremony? Ok, so these guys are paid huge salaries and benefits to do a job. But so is the Hollywood crowd. These politicians just got caught up in Oscar week. Give them a break. This is their 15 minutes of fame.

CNN is still on it. It is so funny. The on-site reporter is talking low while the press conference is continuing.

His (killer's) name is Dennis Rader

Did you use street address to find this? How did you reach this conclusion?

I have never seen so little time on any information..They have congratulated themselves without giving us even a name.
Fine..They want to preserve the case..but I am annoyed.
Clint van Zandt saying he was probably on an original suspect list years ago but they had nothing to get him on...

BTKs attention getting narcissism led them back him. Now that DNA is available..can link positively. Everyone in town knows the name now, even if they do not announce it...

It's supposed to be a press conference, not a circle jerk. They can get their 15 minutes on their own damn time.

Now CNN has cut away after asking on-site reporter if they had named the BTK person.

whos not posting anymore?

That's creepy.

That Mark Wilson guy who was killed in Tyler, Texas by the deranged ex-husband the other day was a gun enthusiast and used to own a gun range. If he was a FReeper, we would never know...

I have to work 3 times as hard due to assumptions like that.

Thanks for sharing that. It gives me some clarity on the issue.
