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.

He is probably a foreign-born American. My dad has a Filipino accent, and he's an American. Sheesh....

The mayor's accent is so thick, it is hard to believe he was in the U.S. when the BTK did his murders.

I don't mean to crap on this, but why is this such an outstanding job by the police when they have taken over 20+ years to catch this guy? Wasn't his last killing in 1986?!!?

First, they have to read to us the various introductions and prefaces they've prepared for the forthcoming book on the case.

This is a little too self congratulatory, imo, considering how long BTK was on the loose.

There was an article here recently that spoke of the Hispanization of Nebraska and Kansas (i think). Anyone who has the brains to move to any state in the Plains has my approval!

How old is the guy they captured?

Yeah - I can't imagine having someone like this in the family. Horrible.
