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.

20 years is nothing to brag about..most of these people weren't in office when these murders took place.

This is a little too self congratulatory..

I got here late, have they said anything about the suspect? This sounds more like an awards ceremony...

Best supporting detective in a serial killer investigation goes to....

Let me get this straight, this guy has been on the loose for 30 or so years, sending love notes and clues to the police the entire time, and they are celebrating his arrest.

I think I would be spinning it too.

Who was it the other evening that was giving the woman who was murdered with her young son grief for being in a relationship with the murderer? They just do not understand what manipulative con artist these sickos are! THeyusually have two 180 personalities.

Mayans is originally from Cuba.

He's a pretty stand-up guy, IMHO.

He has the guts to say things like "We don't strip clubs downtown."... or... "It's not a 'Community Tree...It's a Christmas Tree...as in Christ".

Isn't that annoying?? My Lord, reminds of the Chief Moose canonization.. It was awful and embarrassing. Right now, give us details, and know, we EXPECT those departments to work together.. it's their JOB.

Can you imagine your Doctor coming out and thanking the inventors of the hemostat?? Holy crap.

Shut up. The voters of Wichita put this guy in office. Why does every thread here become a display of racist ignorance?
