WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans told reporters gathered nearby there would be a news conference at 10 a.m. Saturday on the BTK serial killer case. He would not comment any further.

Police and other authorities moved into an area of suburban Park City on Friday afternoon, working in a residential area near Interstate 135, seven miles north of Wichita.

The BTK killer — the initials of the killer's self-coined nickname stand for "Bind, Torture, Kill" — has been linked to eight unsolved killings, committed between 1974 and 1986.

Police said they would make an announcement about their activity, but did not say when. Earlier in the afternoon, uniformed police officers were standing outside Wichita's city hall, which houses the police department.

Police in Wichita, the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office and the FBI (news - web sites) all declined to comment to The Associated Press about the activity or any possible connection to the BTK case.

KAKE-TV, without citing a source, said police were questioning a "person of interest" in connection with the BTK serial killer case. The station is one of the news outlets that has received communications believed to be from the killer.

In December, the arrest of a Wichita resident on minor charges sparked widespread speculation of a possible link to the BTK serial killings. That man, who had no connection to the case, later filed a lawsuit alleging defamation against the media outlets that named him.

After taunting police with letters to news organizations throughout the 1970s, BTK disappeared before resurfacing a year ago, when he sent a letter to The Eagle claiming responsibility for an eighth killing in 1986.

In that letter, the killer included a copy of the victim's driver's license and photos of her slain body.

Police said they have received more than 5,000 tips from the public since BTK resurfaced.

This could be it... News conference 10 AM Saturday (CST)

That's great if they caught him. Serial Killers really chap my hide. :mad:

I hope that this is the guy--this is such a fascinating case because he was dormant for so long and then resurfaced. I don't know why I find this case fascinating but I do.

According to all the local newsrooms, and sources with the local P.D., it's him. DNA matches perfectly. Supposedly, they caught him due to footage surveillance from a Home Depot- a botched dead drop or something. The guy works for the city of Park City, has a history in law enforcement, is highly involved with his local Lutheran church, is married, and has two grown up kids. Pictures of him all over the Internet.

A friend is obsessed with BTK- and called me three times with updates from the Internet loons so far tonight.

I'm not suprised about how he is, especially his history in law enforcement. This sounds like an interesting case. :nod:

His name is Dennis Rader. Pictures here-
