On March 19, the Wichita Eagle newspaper received a letter from someone purporting to be the BTK( Bind them, Torture them, Kill them) strangler. A serial murderer who murderer seven people in Wichita, Kansas between January 1974 and April 1979. The letter contained information on the unsolved murder of Vicki Wegerle in 1986, a photocopy of the victim's driver's licence and three photographs of her slain body in different poses.

Initially the police dismissed the letter, because they receive so many crack letters. A few days later the letter was sent to homicide detectives and was deemed authentic. The police intend to examine the envelope and the contents for fingerprints, DNA evidence and reexamine physical evidence from the Wegerle crime scene using technology that was not available in 1986.

The urge is manipulate the police remains strong. The name on the envelope was Bill Thomas Killman generated from BTK and the address referred to a vacant building.

It seems the BTK Strangler is not content with anonymity after twenty five years of silence. He still has the desire to manipulate and taunt the police, families of the victims and the public.

Whoever did this is sick and sad.

And evil.

Was this case profiled on Unsolved? I've lived in this state all my life and I've never heard of this until this past Thursday. It sure has caused a stir here. Gun and home security system sales have really picked up.

I do not think the BTK strangler has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries. It was included because it remains unresolved.

It would not surprise me, if the BTK strangler is never caught. The BTK strangler is very intelligent and sophisticated. Intelligence is a scarce resource amongst serial murderers. He loves to taunt the police and the public and believes that DNA testing and fingerprint testing will not result in his apprehension. It seems he may not have a criminal record and most probably murdered people in different geographical areas or states during the last 25 years to continue his psychopathic enjoyment of murder. His renewed mailing campaign is most probably motivated by a desire to demonstrate to the police that he has survived the last 25 years and to reassert his belief that he is more intelligent than law enforcement agencies, manipulative and desires the media attention to terrify the families of the victims and the public.
