1. What does BTK refer to?
I haven't found an explanation in any of the articles.

4. Bind them, Torture them, Kill them
BTK was a serial killer that stalked Wichita, KS, about 30 years ago. After disappearing for all this time, he has recently resurfaced, sending cops mementoes of his long-ago crimes and taunting them with letters.

I really, really hope they got this sick ****.

5. 'Depraved' is too mild a word to describe him.

16. Isn't that just what he wants?
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 06:52 PM by girl gone mad
"Credit" for his crimes. His name in the papers. Fame. Attention.

Edit: My guess is that he's terminally ill and wants the recognition before he dies.

10. Given that many of his crimes are 30 years old
I suspect he'll be just a tad longer in the tooth.

50 at least.

12. Well since the original killings started 30 years ago.....
I'd be looking for someone in their 50's or 60's. Not too many serial killing toddlers running around.

15. Well I was 6 years old and in Wichita when the first killings occured.
Fortunately I passed the DNA swab test or I'd be in biG trouble!

Personally I doubt this will lead to anything because the WPD has basically sucked this investigation up for 30 damned years.

13. The killings started 30 years ago.
He'd have been VERY young when he started.

14. I truly hope they have the sick fuck.
And I hope he gets to spend the rest of his days in a very small cell. 23-24 hours a day in the cell would be good.

20. More about *him* here.
http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/special_packages/btk/8268352.htm

*snip*

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.
