Police arrest a 59-year-old city worker they believe is the notorious serial killer. Eight deaths in the 1970s were linked to the BTK killer, who resurfaced about a year ago after 25 years of silence. WICHITA, Kan. (Feb. 27) - A 31-year manhunt for a serial killer who taunted police with letters about his crimes ended Saturday when authorities said they finally caught up with the man who called himself BTK and linked him to at least 10 murders.
''The bottom line: BTK is arrested,'' Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams said Saturday, setting off applause from a crowd that included family members of some of the victims. The suspect was identified as Dennis L. Rader, a 59-year-old city worker in nearby Park City, who was arrested Friday. Police did not say how they identified Rader as a suspect or whether he has said anything since his arrest. http://search.abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=535619
BTK - a self-coined nickname that stands for ''Bind, Torture, Kill'' - stoked fears throughout the 1970s in Wichita, a manufacturing center with 350,000 residents, about 180 miles southwest of Kansas City, Mo.
