Dennis Rader (BTK killer)

We do believe that BTK is in Wichita.

The strategy was to try and keep up with the tips.

One of the first things I remember was the fact that, of course, when the calls started coming in, a lot of them were our same suspects that you guys had kicked around for years.

I think he liked presenting his case in the media, and I think he liked Cake TV a lot.

It was very eerie when he wrote to us and said, I hope Susan's and Jeff's cold get better, because naturally everyone's more afraid for the female than the male.

I mean, that freaked me out.

To be honest with you, it freaked my husband out.

It was a little bit frightening, and

BTK will decide that he wants to write his own story, which will start this series of letters.

He's going to send them at his discretion to us or to other members of the media, and we'll play this game with him.

As good journalists, we are here and we are listening and communicating.

We need to keep him talking.

If we can keep him talking, we're going to catch him.

And that's basically because he will make a mistake.

We know sooner or later this guy will probably kill again if we do not stop him.

And we've got to get there first.

And we're just trying to keep him talking.

He claims the following.

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.
