The lead investigator hunting the BTK serial killer has asked former Wichita police officers to provide their DNA in connection with the investigation.
"We feel it is necessary at this point in our investigation to request swabs from some former police personnel," Lt. Ken Landwehr, the head of the homicide division, wrote to former officers in a letter published in the quarterly newsletter The re-Tired Copper.
"We are collecting swabs to eliminate with certainty personnel who were employed during the time period in which the BTK murders occurred. It is our contention that by being as thorough as possible at this time it may counter defense strategies at a later date," the letter continued.
