btk: caught?
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is testing a DNA sample taken during execution of a search warrant in Wichita on Wednesday night to see if it belongs to the serial killer BTK, an official said today.
A 65-year-old man was arrested at his south Wichita home Wednesday night after daylong surveillance by Wichita police, including members of the homicide squad. He was booked into jail because he was wanted for housing-code violations and a domestic violence case.

The man was booked into Sedgwick County Jail at 8:31 p.m. on suspicion of criminal trespass. Bond was initially set at $2,500, then increased to $17,500 after he was booked under a second warrant. That warrant charged him with several violations of city housing codes.
The allegations include failing to maintain the exterior of a house, failing to paint a house, failing to maintain the structure of a house, parking in a front yard and storing inoperable vehicles.
Following his arrest, Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents removed white bags from the home. The arrest came the day after Wichita police had released background information that BTK has supplied in a series of letters to police and the media.
