WICHITA, Kan. - City officials planned a news conference for Saturday to discuss developments in the BTK serial killer investigation while a television station reported that authorities were questioning a "person of interest" in the case.

Meanwhile, investigators searched a house in a Wichita suburb Friday, seizing computer equipment. Police, prosecutors and the FBI all declined to comment about the activity or any possible connection to the BTK case.

Wichita television station KAKE, without citing a source, reported Friday that police were questioning a "person of interest" in the serial killer case. The station is one of several news outlets that has received communications believed to be from the killer.

Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans announced plans for the news conference but would not elaborate.

Sources: 'Person of interest' questioned in BTK case

Authorities waiting on DNA test results
Friday, February 25, 2005 Posted: 11:36 PM EST (CNN) -- Authorities questioned a "person of interest" in the BTK killer investigation Friday, and converged on a home in Park City, Kansas, just outside Wichita, sources told CNN.

CNN affiliate KAKE, a Wichita station that the killer has sent letters to in the past, said authorities were awaiting results of DNA tests to see whether they could be linked to the case.

The killer calls himself BTK, for "bind, torture and kill," a pattern he has followed with most of his victims.

Sources said the person of interest was questioned for several hours Friday, and that they were growing increasingly confident that the 30-year investigation may be nearing an end.
