Do U know BTK?

[Nubian Nut]

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
e-mail information to coldcase@wichita.gov or mail information to Cold Case, P.O. Box 9202,
Wichita, KS 67277-0202.

Hey, R&F, I think you are waaay overconfident in your abilities to defend yourself against murderous males that are much bigger than you are. I say this in only a friendly manner and to advise you of how wrong you are. I am almost 60 but still have a 32 inch waist and 14" biceps and still lift weights religiously. I am 5'10 and 165 lbs and could easily overpower you with you having no access to my nads. Remember BTK hides in the house and gets the drop on the victims from behind. You would have NO chance against this 60 year old under these circumstances. I just was disturbed that you discount the abilities of a guy in his forties. Hell, unless you're an Amazon you can be had by a guy in his 60's. I don't want that to happen.

[Skip Towne]

Oh, I forgot to mention that OJ Simpson was in his 40's when he overpowered not just Nicole but her fairy boyfriend as well. And he killed both of them by himself with no witnesses.

Yeah RnF surprised me by that too. She makes it sound like a 40 year old dude has the same amount of strength as an 80 year old. My dad is 43 and he could easily knock my ass out with a well placed punch or two....

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.

You are a wise dude. Most 20 year old guys cannot whip their dad who is usually 40+. I am not a tough guy by any means but even at nearly 60 there are damn few non Amazon women I can't overpower. It was just bothering me that Red&Feisty thinks she is safe because the guy is "old" in her perception. There are 60 year old guys around that can whip Clint.

OK, OK. But I still think you are a dumbass. You just freaking generalized 200 years of history of a whole state... that's pretty dumbassy if you ask me.

Hell, I'm 46 and feel stronger than I've ever felt in my life. When I hit 40 and started worrying about the age thing I started working out more.

Hey, Metrolike, don't waste your time with the dumbass AKA known as Slayer. He has been a joke on this board since he got here. I'm sure he is enthralled with you since you are the only one who will talk to him. You don't have to, it is recommended that you don't.

I figured just by his name that he was a douche bag.

I did not mean to imply that I would not be overpowered, just simply that there would be repercussion to attacking me. I am just a woman so therefore I know I can be overpowered by a man, come on, I'm not stupid. Being an Army brat my father made sure that I knew how to defend myself and my older brother made sure of that as well. Not to mention how well I can handle a gun (not that it would help in a situation like BTK). Back in the 70's women may not have been so confident and may have rolled over and let a man kill them, today I do not think that it would be so easy.
