Do U know BTK?

BTK describes his background
Since March 2004, BTK has sent numerous communications to the media and the police. In
these letters, he has provided certain background information about himself, which he claims is
accurate.
Based upon a review of that information, the following facts about BTK are being made available
to the public in the hopes of identifying BTK:
• He claims he was born in 1939, which would make his current age 64 or 65.
• His father died in World War II, and his mother raised him.
• His mother was forced to work, so his grandparents cared for him.
• His mother worked during the day near the railroad.
• He had a cousin named Susan, who moved to Missouri.
• His family moved a lot, but always lived near a railroad.
• His grandfather played the fiddle and died of a lung disease.
• His mother started dating a railroad detective when BTK was around 11 years old. This
relationship would have occurred during the years 1950-1955.
• In the early 1950s he built and operated a ham radio.
• He has participated in outdoor hobbies including hunting, fishing and camping.
• As a youth he attended church and Sunday school.
--more--
• He had a female, Hispanic acquaintance named Petra, who had a younger sister named
Tina.
• Around 1960, he went to tech military school. He then joined the military for active duty
and was discharged in 1966.
• He has a basic knowledge of photography and the ability to develop and print pictures.
• In 1966 he moved back in with his mother who had re-married and was renting out part
of her house.
• His first job was as an electro-mechanic, requiring some travel.
• After attending more tech school, he worked repairing copiers and business equipment;
this sometimes required travel and he was away from home for extended periods.
• He admits to soliciting prostitutes.
• He has a lifetime fascination with railroads and trains.
Based upon the investigation to date, police believe that BTK:
• Frequented the WSU campus in the early 1970s.
• Was acquainted with PJ Wyatt, who taught a folklore class at WSU during the 1970s.
• Has written or still writes poetry. An example of this is the “Oh Anna, Why Didn’t You
Appear” poem and the “Oh! Death to Nancy” poem that were released in earlier media
advisories.
• Utilized fake identification to gain access to people’s homes or to conduct surveillance.
Based upon the information contained in the letter, police are again asking for help from the
public. Police want to talk to any citizen who currently knows, or recalls anyone having a similar
background to the one described above.
Citizens with information who are calling locally are asked to call 383-8273; those calling from
outside the Wichita area are asked to call 1-800-SOLVBTK (1-800-765-8285). They can also

Wichita, KS 67277-0202.

Wichita serial killer in the mid 70's to mid 80's. Stopped communicating with law enforcemt in the 70's. People thought he was dead or moved away. Last known killing was in 1986, and that was not even known till this year. Recently started talking with police after a 25yr absense.

BTK Story

[Rain Man]

This sounds a lot like Skip Towne to me. A lot.

I find it truly pathetic that they have yet to solve this case. I also don't believe alot of this to be true. It seems that he wants to be caught, but I think he is giving/leaving false information.

The police have his DNA and have asked for sample DNA from several Professors and the Wichita PD, but only the ones that were working the case back in the 70's. Still there is no match. I don't get it, people have been fascinated with this case for years and still nothing.

Another thing according to the above BTK is now in his late 60's, so you mean to tell me that a forty something man was going around killing these people with no repercussions. Not right.

Of course it's pathetic...Kansas has had problems like this ever since it became a state. Back in the late 1800's, Kansas was losing people and money simply because they wouldn't let any businesses in. Then they went insane over Evolution vs Creationism being taught in schools for god-knows-how-long. And for the past century, there have been articles asking the exact same question: What's the Matter With Kansas?

So, yeah, the reason this is pathetic is because it's Kansas...and the answer to that question is: Kansas is what's the matter with Kansas.

It's not like I'm saying it's the worst state, but there are some problems over there that have needed to be fixed for a long time...same goes for my state of Missouri. In fact, IIRC, Missouri has some problems that are way worse than what Kansas has. Am I willing to admit it? Of course, but that doesn't mean either state can look away from their problems or call citizens of other states dumbasses just for pointing out those problems.

I don't understand, RnF. What's odd about it being a 40-something guy who was doing the murders? That doesn't seem unreasonable.

And you're married to Clint. You of all people should know that that's reasonable.

I don't see any possible way that a man in his late forties back in 1970 being able to kill me. If such a person would try, he might succeed, but he will not be able to walk around in public for a very long time due to the damage he would suffer trying to kill me.
