Authorities Examining Suspected 'BTK' Serial Killer Package
Dec. 15, 2004 — -- Wichita, Kan. authorities are awaiting FBI test results on a package that may have been left by the notorious BTK, the self-coined "Blind, Torture, Kill" serial killer who has eluded capture for 30 years.
Police in Wichita suspect the notoriously elusive BTK serial killer may have communicated with them again, this time by leaving a package of items found by a local resident. According to ABC News affiliate KAKE-TV in Wichita, an unidentified man found a package while walking in a local park overnight on Monday.
The package was wrapped in plastic and held together by rubber bands. When he saw the contents inside, the man contacted KAKE-TV.
"I didn't know what it was, because it was wrapped in rubber bands," the man, whose name has not been released, told KAKE-TV. "So, I just held on to it and I brought it to the house and I sat [it] on the table and I took the scissors and I clipped around the trash bag."
KAKE-TV notified Wichita police, who retrieved the package and then sent it to the FBI for analysis and authentication.
Wichita police, KAKE-TV said, asked them not to disclose all the specific items the package contained. However, KAKE-TV has reported the package allegedly contained what appeared to be the driver's license of Nancy Fox, one of BTK's alleged victims who was found in her home tied up and strangled on Dec. 8, 1977.
Fox's driver's license was not found at the scene at the time of the investigation, and authorities captured what they believe to be BTK's voice on tape when he called a dispatcher to report her slaying.
KAKE-TV also reported that the package contained an alleged chapter list of a book called "The BTK Story." In May, KAKE-TV also received a letter that included a page titled "The BTK Story" that listed what appeared to be chapter titles. The final chapter title, according to KAKE-TV, reads "Will there more?" [sic]
In the purported list found in the package, three of the chapters are blank, according to KAKE-TV. The final chapter title in the list has a similar title to the one in the letter sent to KAKE-TV in May. The only difference is that this chapter is entitled, "Will there BE more?"
