Roger Valadez, divorced, lived in house since 1976, 3 children, unknown to me if any grandchildren. But, when I drove by this morning to pick up my daughter there were kids toys in the yard, police in the driveway and news crews all around. House is about 300ft away from a elementary school. Bail has been raised from 17.5K this morning to 40K, 25K cash bond on a warrant from 1995 for suspicion of criminal trespass and violations of city housing codes.

Where are you getting the updated info?

I find it amazing :rolleyes: that 2 days after they release information to the public, they get an arrest. Why couldn't they have done this years ago?

Wonder if this is some of his kin.

here and there

From what I heard is they recieved a tip. WPD still has no comment.

I think it is safe to assume that even if this guy isn't BTK. He will never live in that house again.

Ok, thanks for the updates.

It's probably also safe to assume that he'll keep his house painted and stop parking in the front yard, too.

"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."


WTF!?! Why do you guys think this might be BTK, if he was arrested and booked for failing to maintain his house? Who in the hell gets arrested for not maintaining their house anyway, wouldn't half of Wichita be under arrest for the above allegations?

ROFL

True, but, fences are hard to drive thru.

It has been widely believed that he has suffered a life changing event(death in family, retirement, divorce, etc.) as the reason he starting communicating again this past March.

Roger Valadez lost his brother this past January....

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it's normal procedure to book a suspect for something to just hold them until they can formalize the real charges.

And yes, half of Wichita would be in violation. ROFL

I'd say they have their man. Way too much going on for a simple trespass warrant and violation of city housing codes.

I'd paint my house but I like the natural color of brick better.

Why don't they just turn Nancy Drew onto the case and give this clown the gas on public access already....

I'd go for that. Considering the guy killed women and children and jacked off on their dead bodies, he would deserve the public execution.
