Chief Williams just annouced that the BTK killer has been arrested.

i guess thats what he deserves when he decides to re-emerge after 30 years

Did UM ever do a story on this?

They caught him or do they have a suspect in mind? That's what I heard. I could be wrong. Hmm?

The Barbs - Sounds like they caught him. His name is Dennis Rader.

Not to my knowledge.

As far as myself and anyone else knows, no, UM never did a story on the BTK.

However, I occasionally wrote to the show to offer ideas for potential UM stories, and my suggestions included the BTK strangler. But that suggestion obviously remained just that--a suggestion.

Kane,

I think that is really neat that you took the time to write to UM suggesting stories. Did they even give you the dignity of a form letter or other correspondence saying "thank you" for your suggestions?

Just curious,

Yes, they did (even though they didn't reply to all my letters). In fact, not long after they aired a segment about the death of George Reeves (of Superman fame), they wrote to me, thanking me for that suggestion. I learned that I wasn't the only person to recommend the George Reeves story to them. They acknowledged that thousands of other UM viewers offered the same suggestion.

what an eerie coincidence. i just started a thread about that yesterday.

My aunt and uncle live in Wichita. My aunt, by marriage, said her aunt and uncle bought the home of Vicki Wegerle, one of BTK's victims, shortly after the murder took place. At the time it was only rumored that BTK did it. He just took credit for the murder last year.

My aunt said her aunt and uncle got a heck of a deal on the house. I'm pretty frugal myself, but I don't think I could live there, no matter how inexpensive. She spent holidays and weekends in that house. She said it was pretty creepy.

I was super excited when I saw they had arrested somebody. The BTK Killer is scary because he got away with it for so long right under the cops' noses. Eeee!!
