Back when I wasonly 11 years old this all started. A serial killer struck in Wichita(my town is like a suburb of Wichita) and killed at least 8 times,maybe many more, through the next 12 years. As a young woman living onmy own, when Id return home late at night I was always so frightened.Id check my apartment and the phone lines. My heart would pound out ofmy chest as Id look through the closets and under thebeds.I've always slept with some lights on.
Then he went quiet, or so we thought,but he may have been killing elsewhere. Even during that quiet time hewas in the backs of peoples minds. I went through a divorce duringthat time and had small children. I was so afraid at night to be alone.I hated to return from anywhere late at night in the dark with thekids. I didnt want them to be frightened, but I had to be aware of mysurroundings.
He suddenly resurfaced last year. Hehas been sending packages and letters to our news stations and leavingpackages in our parks and around town. The theory among the police wasthat he stayed in Wichita to kill. He recently left a package rightoutside our little town! There was also another package left two milesnorth of there. One ofhis prior victims is from our town and now they have reopened a coldcase murder from a few years ago that they are saying might have beenhim. They interviewed two girls from the High School, one of them isone of my daughters friends who was stuck in the snow and a man helpedher out of her car and took her to her house, then disappeared. No nameor anything. The package was found right where she got stuck in thesnow . They say he has a thing for trains and we have a railway throughtown Now I found out there are two more murders that have happenedwithin a few miles of here recently that they are investigating aspossible BTK murders.
Its keeping me awake, I put newdeadbolt locks on all the doors,I've been on all thedifferent forums that are investigating it .This is so freaky. I hateit even more now with my husband working nights. Sometimes the kids andI are so scared. We watch each other go feed the dog at night, we checkon each other when we take out the trash or start the cars. Im lockingthe doors during the day. Everyone checks their phone lines when theycome home because hes always cut phone lines before he kills hisvictim .ITS SCARY!!!I've been so upset and stressed out.
Now finally, today we have a veryoptimistic breakthrough. The FBI, Americas Most Wanted, and the localPolice have taken someone in for questioning. They have said they are90% sure they have the guy. They are scheduled to make an announcementtomorrow morning at 10:00. They are supposedly waiting on DNA results.From whatI've been able to find out behind the scenes, thisguy lived FOUR BLOCKS FROM MY MOM! And only six blocks from my sister.She actually got into an argument with him last summer over somecompliance issues (he is supposedly a compliance officer for the city)My Dad walked by his house every day for his morning walk. This iswhere I grew up! It creeps me out so bad. He is the president of hischurch, a member of the police department, a long time member of theneighborhood, a college graduate .What the hell has the world cometo?
When you have time go look at this. The story was on Americas Most Wanted-
