These days it would almost be easier than it was back then. Those little stun guns are awfully wasy to conceal. And Skip is never coming to my house...

It might be true in most cases but she could protect herself. I also know law enforcement people and I have listened to their stories so I know a person can get out of it.

For example I was talking to a client last night who even got stabbed in the chest and stopped the guy.

Well it is not hard to kick your little ass.

Do you know where my BLT is?

Did your "buddy" tell you that at the end of a long interrogation, just before he reluctantly released you? :p

And you know that how?? Or is that just more stupid assumptions coming from you as usuall?

I ate it and it was very yummy, thank you!

I bet if it was up your ass you would know where it is. :p

How did he know you did it? What tipped him off?

Victim's son believes father knew BTK


By Roxana Hegeman

WICHITA - For decades after leaving school, Charlie Otero stayed underground hiding from the BTK serial killer who strangled his parents and two younger siblings.

"I didn't want him tracking me, knowing where I am," Otero said in a telephone interview Tuesday from the Western New Mexico Correctional Facility. "No rent, no house, no bills. Nothing. No jobs. No checks."

Otero was 15 when he found his parents' bound bodies in their bedroom in 1974. Police told him later that his brother and sister were also killed.

Now 46, Otero remains convinced his father knew the killer because he had been acting strangely to protect the family in the days just before the killings. And he believes his family was targeted because of something his father did during his military service.

The strangulation of Otero's four family members are the earliest deaths claimed by the killer who calls himself BTK, which stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill." He has been linked to eight unsolved homicides that terrorized Wichita between 1974 and 1986. After years of silence, the killer surfaced again by sending letters to police and media this year.

Police said earlier this year that the Otero killings had "special significance" because they were the first in a string of killings. But police have refused to discuss the case beyond carefully scripted statements periodically released.

On Jan. 15, 1974, the three surviving children of Joseph and Julie Otero came home from school to find their parents and two other siblings, Josephine, 11, and Joseph II, 9, dead at the family's Wichita home.

Otero is nearing the end of a four-year sentence for aggravated battery in a domestic violence case. He said he has not talked to BTK investigators since 1977 or 1978. He wants to know what is happening in the case, and whether there is any way he can help.

"I've had this bottled up inside me for 30 years," he said.

He listened intently as an AP reporter recounted the details released Tuesday by Wichita police profiling the killer in the hopes that someone could identify him. None of it pointed to anyone he knew, he said afterward.

"I've always thought my father knew him, that is about all," Otero said.

His father knew something was wrong, Otero said, citing several instances in the days before the murders that were "very suspicious." One time when the lights went out, his father made the family get into a closet until he made sure the neighborhood was also dark.

Another time, when a telephone repairman showed up at the house, Joseph Otero made his son go to a window to make sure there was a company van there before he opened the door.

Then just days before he died, Joseph Otero, who worked as an aircraft mechanic, tried to give him his ring in case something happened to him. Charlie Otero now remembers telling his father he didn't want him to talk like that, kidding his father he would probably outlive him.

"Nobody hated my family," Otero said. "I am sure it had something to do with my father's military history. My dad did things. ... He had to tell somebody what he had been up to in the last few years and he was dead days later."

Years later Otero is still convinced - based on that overheard telephone conversation his father had days before his death - that his family's slaughter had something to do with his service in the U.S. Air Force. Otero said his father was involved with the Inter-American Air Forces Academy, a program that has trained Air Force personnel from Latin America for 60 years.

But Otero declined to say further what his father did in the military because he was afraid talking about it might jeopardize his parole next month.

He still remembers vividly the day his family was killed. His younger siblings were the first to find their parents' bodies, crying out to him that mom and dad were playing a bad joke on them.

But Otero instantly knew they were dead: "My dad was cold, hard. You could smell the death. His tongue was almost bit off, a belt was around his neck."

He thought his other siblings were in school, now he knows they never got a chance to go to school before the killer came to their house. He and his two surviving siblings would also be dead had they not left an hour earlier than usual for school, he said.

Otero said he learned further details of his family's murders after hiring a lawyer and private investigator and reading some of the FBI files on the case.

Umm, okay...

Stupid assumptions as usual? Yeah ok

in an off the wall way you're right

Could this be BTK?

:hmmm:

Seems kinda odd that the KBI, WPD and WPD homicide detectives would stake out for suspicion of criminal trespass, failing to maintain the exterior of a house, failing to paint a house, failing to maintain the structure of a house, parking in a front yard and storing inoperable vehicles.

A 65-year-old man was arrested at his south Wichita home Wednesday night after a daylong surveillance by Wichita police, including members of the homicide squad.

After his arrest, Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents were at the house late Wednesday and white bags were seen being removed from the home.

Travis Redburn said several undercover police watched the house from his nearby business Wednesday morning.

Wichita homicide detectives and at least one patrol officer were also seen cruising the neighborhood throughout the day.

Police officials, including Police Chief Norman Williams and Lt. Ken Landwehr, the head of the homicide unit, would not return phone calls Wednesday night after the arrest. Redburn said police at his business said they were acting on a tip and that they found a man at the house "very interesting."

Trains along tracks 40 yards away rattled through the otherwise quiet neighborhood regularly Wednesday.

Around 7:30 p.m., a small group of uniformed and plainclothes Wichita police officers surrounded the house.

They went around the dark home, tapping on windows and doors with their flashlights. After five minutes of searching around the home, officers entered through a door in the back.

Detectives stood outside the house while the beams of flashlights could be seen from behind the curtains.

Minutes later, with no sign of a struggle, two uniformed officers and a plainclothes homicide detective emerged with a man who was handcuffed behind his back. His hair was dark with a few signs of gray. He wore a white shirt and dark pants and had a denim jacket draped over his handcuffed arms.

He was led in front of the home, down a sidewalk to a waiting police car parked around the corner. Neither police nor the suspect said anything from the time they emerged from the home to the point they got in the car.

The man was booked into Sedgwick County Jail at 8:31 p.m. on suspicion of criminal trespass. Bond was initially set at $2,500, then increased to $17,500 after he was booked under a second warrant. That warrant charged him with several violations of city housing codes.

The allegations include failing to maintain the exterior of a house, failing to paint a house, failing to maintain the structure of a house, parking in a front yard and storing inoperable vehicles.

After his arrest, the house was lit both inside and in the back yard. A man was inside the house, but did not answer the door.

Another man, wearing a suit, walked around to the front of the house with a flashlight. He identified himself as Larry Thomas of the KBI and said agents were occupying the premises for the night. Thomas is one of the agency's homicide investigators.
