Could this be BTK?
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.
